[Bug 1090725] Re: slow scanning because too many times opens /etc/groups and /etc/passwd
Ooops I just noticed this bug is ancient -- hope my report helps anyway.

[Bug 1090725] Re: slow scanning because too many times opens /etc/groups and /etc/passwd
I had to try a dozen backed up versions of a file one after another to find a
lost edit and I was also greatly annoyed by the delay (~6 minutes with a fast
USB3 disk). So I noticed this report and also noted that duplicity indeed does
many tenths of thousands to half a million sys-calls to stat or open
/etc/localtime, /etc/group and /etc/passwd. That seems a bit unreasonable to me
but I'm NOT AN EXPERT AT ALL. The only thing I can tell for sure is that 6
minutes per restore is some times too long*. In my case it was painful.
To test I started the restore of one small file from the GUI and then run
strace as follows on various python processes that I was noticing with `ps
ax|grep python`. Before the final duplicity python process started I recorded
about half a million stat("/etc/localtime") syscalls (you may be interested in
[1] regarding this behaviour). I then recorded ~100,000 file related syscalls
to open /etc/passwd and /etc/group. Here are my commands:
# strace -e trace=file -p 3827 2> /tmp/foo
...
# wc -l /tmp/foo
100892 /tmp/lala4
# sort /tmp/foo|sed -e 's/", .*/"/'|uniq -c|sort -n|tail -2
49912 open("/etc/group"
49912 open("/etc/passwd"
What seems interesting are the duplicity processes I show starting. I
noticed the same commands running more than once and this doesn't seem
normal at all. Especially the fact that duplicity list-current-files
runs twice with exactly the same options and takes ~2 minutes each time
seems troubling**.

Here's the output of strace -c -f -p 11535 (duplicity list-current-
files) where you can see that 34.68% of syscalls time is spent on stat
(I _guess_ on stat('/etc/timezone'). Roughly the same times I show on
the other invocation of duplicity list-current-files.

[Bug 148454] Re: console-kit-deamon spawns too many threads
Vladimir, our difference is not whether I care about wasted resources (I do) but whether I see any worthy evidence of wasted resources (I don't). But I'm afraid that at this point of time you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you that the sky is blue so I had to google for a few minutes in order to show you some quotes you may wish to examine before blaming those 60 sleeping threads for your crawling linux system. They are from IBM's developer works and from Linux Journal and you will find them just after the next paragraph. Before the data a sincere advice with no empathy whatsoever: an attitude of come on you incapable programmers -- fix those obvious mistakes in your code when coupled with vague and disorientated complains about stuff you hardly understand DOESN'T help. Note that I don't pretend to know everything about life, universe and CDK -- I just don't call the developers of CDK incapable until I have some pretty good idea about what's going wrong with their program. POSIX threads explained -- http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-posix1.html Threads also happen to be extremely nimble. [...] Because of this, you can use a whole bunch of threads and not worry too much about the CPU and memory overhead incurred. You don't have a big CPU hit the way you do with fork(). This means you can generally create threads whenever it makes sense in your program. The Linux Process Model -- http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3814 threads share the same address space completely. All the threads run in the same address space, so a context switch is basically just a jump from one code location to another So: those 60 threads use the same memory as one thread would. Regarding the CPU use ps (with -H of course) and note how they don't use any CPU at all. As for the available threads: we have about 32.000 to spare so again check with ps to see if you are even remotely close to using them all (I've never seen more that 2000 threads and that was on a really heavily loaded web/db/mail server). -- console-kit-deamon spawns too many threads https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148454 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Lynoure Stefan, please take the time to explain to us what the problem with console-kit-deamon is, because until now everybody else HAS NOT (and it doesn't help that originally some of the posters were chasing a completely different problem that wasn't even there). That's the reason I've marked this report as invalid: because it doesn't define what the problem is with enough clarity. Now I'll have to make some guesses regarding the problem you see and ask you for some clarification: Lynoure, you seem to suggest that spawning 60 threads is a problem but WHY? People have posted a similar view before you but everybody has backed this up with either vague complains about wasted system resources in general or wrong[1] complains about wasted memory in particular. If you know better than the previous posters please take the time to make it clear to the guy that will have to deal with this bug.

[Bug 223650] Re: Intermittent sound problems in Hardy Heron 8.04 (Gnome and KDE desktops)
a workaround suggestion that I haven't had the time to test is here http://linux.qcg.nl/node/45 I'm quoting all of it: There are a few utilities in the last release of Ubuntu, that don't play shoutcast streams correctly. These are: vlc, gmplayer, mplayer, totem. When a shoutcast MP3 audio stream is played you can hear chirps and other dropouts. This is due to some data mixed in with the audio stream which is not filtered out correctly. Instead of showing the data in the player the software tries to convert the data into sound. To fix this problem: Execute as root: sed -i 's/Icy-MetaData:/Xcy-MetaData:/g' /usr/bin/gmplayer sed -i 's/Icy-MetaData:/Xcy-MetaData:/g' /usr/bin/mplayer sed -i 's/icy-metadata:/Xcy-MetaData:/g' /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstgnomevfs.so Tested on: Ubuntu hardy (dd 25-apr-2008) -- Intermittent sound problems in Hardy Heron 8.04 (Gnome and KDE desktops) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223650 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

(note: quotied text is re-order and often striped) Athanasios Lefteris said 4 hours ago: I could do an new version of the deb package easily but i don't think there is a big point right now on doing that. The new version has just a new lisence and the modifications that Nick Demou made to the aff file.

I have talked to markos and he is not in a mood right now to make a new version. I haven't talked to the other two. OK I can try to contact them ... let's see waht steve has to say first ... what is more important that making a new package for a THREE year old dictionary is to make the upstream development of the dictionary active again 100% with you ...and I think it would be a good idea if it could be improved by using the new hunspell features (used by OO.org and soon mozilla). hunspell surely seems promising and I do like the fact that it _is_ documented _ [1] http://elspell.math.upatras.gr/files/ooffice/el_GR.zip [2] http://packages.debian.org/unstable/text/myspell-el-gr I sent an email to Steve Stavropoulos, the man that seems to be the maintainer of the upstream project and asked him if he can move the project to an open-source hosting site, so that we can have version control, bug trucking and other benefits.

[Bug 96084] I get this error on random occasions
After 2 weeks of smooth operation I am sure I no longer have any issue with my hard disks (it was a loose connector causing me some problems before) but I still get this error every once in a while [1].

from a duplicate of this bug (Bug #24305) here are some comments: DETAILED DESCRIPTION - if the screensaver activates while the focus is on an rdesktop window, then upon exiting the screensaver (either password protected one or not) the mouse and keyboard are not working (moving the mouse or clicking around or typing have almost absolutely no effect). The only keys that work are X windows and gnome shortcuts (like ctrl-alt-L, ctrl-alt-F1 etc). WORKAROUND -- Everything comes back to normal if you do either one of the following: a) if you once again activate and exit the screensaver (by pressing ctrl-Alt-L for example) b) if you kill gnome-screensaver EASY REPRODUCTION -- 1) Start a session to a windows pc with rdesktop (you don't even need to login) 2) Open a terminal and run the following command then quickly switch to rdesktop and wait for the screensaver to start sleep 5; gnome-screensaver-command --activate -- I lost the control of the desktop when screen saver run https://launchpad.net/bugs/58093 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Adam wrote: It has led to information loss for me. Well in my case it has led to hardware loss. I know you are laughing. It's OK. Now let's get serious, here is my situation: 1) English is not my primary language as is the case of so many people 2) At my office I always have a locking-screensaver set to 5mins for security reasons. Quite resonable I think. So every day I will need to unlock the screensaver at least 5 to 10 times. Many times I will type my password and it will fail because I am in the wrong keyb layout. At least every day or two something like this happens: I get a phone call so I return to my office because I need my PC to help the caller. I type my password anxious to restore my desktop. The computer waits a little then complains that it is wrong. I say I should have typed slowly - I probably misstyped. I type it again slowly. The computer waits a little then complains. Argh... I say damn it was the wrong layout. I hit ctlr-alt and think I changed it but I only wake up the screensaver again. I type it once more. It waits then it complains. Then I say damn I probably misstyped. I type it again slowly. It waits... then it complains. I finaly realise I didn't switch layout. I hit a key to wake the PC then I switch the layout then I type my password fast because I've lost my patience. It fails... now you know why I am writing this in my brand new keyboard... the 2nd in one week :-) as for possible resolutions of this bug: -- if it is very difficult to have a keyboard indicator and switcher in the password dialog then at least the keyborad should be set to the default layout.

[Bug 24305] Re: windows screensaver makes X mouse cursor disappear
I can confirm Gabriel's comments: * This happens at least since breezy for me * I also found it's related to X screensaver and *not* to windows screensaver (at least when the gnome screen saver is set to lock the screen) * I also found that the bug is trigered when rdesktop is running in foreground (has the focus) * if you kill gnome-screensaver you get control of you PC again for users with less expirience here are the steps to bypass the problem when it occurs: 1) hit Alt+F2 and bring up the Run Application 2) enter the following command and check the Run in terminal option sudo killall gnome-screensaver 3) a terminal window will popup and ask for your password - enter it the steps above stop the screensaver, to start it again you must hit Alt-F2 and execute the command: gnome-screensaver -- windows screensaver makes X mouse cursor disappear https://launchpad.net/bugs/24305 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
