System Guard issue - suse 11.1
1 Attachment(s)
Hi Guys
I would be gratefuller for your input as to my issue - My system seems to have slowed down as of late so i though the best thing is to see what is going on - deleted tmp files etc When i launch my KDE System Guard the following message appears, in addition the screen keeps refreshing its self continuously cannot get to access this program. In addition the desktop now seems to start to be doing the same the wast basket and the desktop area. Any ideas as to why this is? and how to resolve it. System installed suse linux 11.1 kernal 2.2.27.25-0.1 with windows xp duel boot system KDE 4.2.2 release 114 AMD Athlon 64 2300MHZ Mem 1.8 GB Many Thanks for your assistance in advance. CM |

The first thing to check is whether there is lots of traffic to the disk sub-system; first check -what about the disk drive light, or the noise (assuming that you can hear it/them)? If there is, it could be swap or something indexing your disk and as the cures are different, you would want to find out which. Quote:
Work around; there are a number of command line utilities which, one way or another, can do do the stuff that you are doing with ksysguard Disadvantage to the work-around; you'll end up learning half a dozen or more command line utils (top, atop, htop, iotop...probably anything with top in it, plus a few others as well).

Thanks for the reply salasi. I have taken your advice - however not much to report here very little traffic on the system. :~> df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 20641788 5201416 14391732 27% / udev 961052 244 960808 1% /dev /dev/sda7 103518040 7463096 90796472 8% /home /dev/sda1 184321744 48196136 136125608 27% /windows/C In addition i have looked at the top as follows cannot see anything untoward top - 04:46:32 up 2:35, 3 users, load average: 1.89, 1.76, 1.70 Tasks: 130 total, 4 running, 126 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 53.1%us, 3.9%sy, 0.0%ni, 42.6%id, 0.3%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 1922104k total, 1800160k used, 121944k free, 373492k buffers Swap: 2104472k total, 12k used, 2104460k free, 854396k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2793 root 20 0 300m 165m 5100 R 59 8.8 49:54.99 Xorg 4288 webmaste 20 0 530m 41m 27m R 29 2.2 33:50.19 plasma 4354 webmaste 20 0 295m 123m 27m S 16 6.6 24:51.89 firefox 4280 webmaste 20 0 60860 18m 14m S 9 1.0 15:41.65 kwin 9205 webmaste 20 0 123m 34m 21m S 5 1.8 7:09.96 kget 10675 webmaste 20 0 73872 18m 14m R 1 1.0 0:03.48 konsole 4008 webmaste 20 0 3300 1208 640 S 1 0.1 0:33.14 dbus-daemon 1 root 20 0 1008 360 308 S 0 0.0 0:01.46 init 2 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 kthreadd 3 root RT -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 migration/0 4 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.72 ksoftirqd/0 5 root RT -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 migration/1 6 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.46 ksoftirqd/1 7 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.28 events/0 8 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.48 events/1 9 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 khelper 10 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 kintegrityd/0 11 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 kintegrityd/1 12 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 kblockd/0 13 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.02 kblockd/1 14 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 kacpid 15 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 kacpi_notify 16 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 cqueue 17 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.02 kseriod 18 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:16.00 kondemand/0 19 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 kondemand/1 20 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 pdflush 21 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.94 pdflush 22 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.20 kswapd0 23 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 aio/0 24 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 aio/1 25 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 kpsmoused 68 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.10 ata/0 69 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:01.82 ata/1 70 root 15 -5 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 ata_aux In regards to the Desktop and wast bin moving around on screen i am referring to 1. the wastbin moves in a vertical direction repeatable and the Desktop moves down the screen and has to be realigned :- In response to your suggestion i have tried to install KDE 4.3 this meat with some resistance as you can see from the attachments - don't know where to go from here. Thanks |

In addition i have looked at the top as follows cannot see anything untoward Quote:
Well, firefox is using a bit more CPU than you'd like but that's firefox for you. Really that leaves Xorg and plasma as the only eaters of cycles. I've seen Xorg that high (briefly), but you'd really, more typically see about half of that. Plasma, I'm not sure about, but it does seem to point at the only thing that is burning up cpu cycles concerns drawing the screen. I don't think I can be more specific than that. It may be worth ensuring that you aren't making things worse with extravagant desktop effects. Quote:
Repo details are here: http://en.opensuse.org/KDE4 http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Repositories (the first of those two is probably more germane). I'm sure that there is a better guide on repos on the opensuse forums but I can't find it....their search function claims that is no thread containing the string 4.3, so its obviously lying. There have been some threads about possible incompatibilities between proprietary drivers for 3d graphics cards and kde4 but I'm not sure there has been a definitive 'x is incompatible with y, cure it by upgrading z' kind of conclusion. Might be worth looking into, though. You'll need factory for kde4.3, and its a chunky update. |

Many thanks for your help will keep looking and carry out the update to KDE 4.3 |

Many Thanks once again salsa My KDE 4.3 is now up and running However it seems to have affected my firefox browser and i have been informed that it is to do with Qt " You're using the wrong Qt repository. KDE:Qt45 contains development snapshots. This version is not released yet. Any idea as to what i have done wrong here? please. Thanks |
