KDE Very Slow - But only on Wifi

Hi all,
I've a strange issue.  I've installed Arch and KDE on a Thinkpad T61 and it all works wonderfully, except that KDE freezes when using the widgets or toolbar when I'm on a wifi network.  If I'm on a wired network it's fine.  An example is that if i'm connected to wifi, I can use my web browser just fine, but none of my desktop widgets update (CPU monitor etc, nothing that downloads anything) and if I click on a different application on the tool bar then nothing happens for about 30 seconds then the window will open.  I can easily alt-tab between windows and that works just fine, it's just the toolbar.  As soon as I disconnect from wifi, it's all working perfectly again.
I actually don't even know where to start diagnosing this issue.  I've tried using wicd and networkmanager to control the network but they both have the same issue.
Help please?
Thanks
Chris.

Hi there,
No they don't.  When I first started with it, I had no widgets referring to wicd or wifi at all, i was using wicd-curses to control it.

  • I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? Thanks

    I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
    Thanks so much!

    FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
    -Close FCP
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
    -Empty your trash
    Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
    Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
    EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

  • Internet is very slow but says i have a good connection ?

    My internet is very slow but yet i have a good connection please help

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same?
    What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

    Firefox respons very slow but speeds up when I move the mouse over the page. Keeping the mouse moving results in normal speed.

  • MAC is SLOW, but only in certain users...

    I hope I've placed this post in the right area. I am running 10.4.11 as you can tell by my bio. I have 4 users on the start up screen. Me, wife, 2 kids. My user is fine, everything runs smoothly, a little slow but that's due to the lack of RAM. (already have the additional ram on its way) My wifes user is very slow, firefox and the other browsers just run slower then they do on my user. It just seems that something is wrong with her user. Is there anything I can download that would get rid of any excess temp internet folders, cache, etc... Basically a clean up, and where would I look (folders) to clean up this mess. Is there a probability that more then one app. is running? If so how can I check. Or should I just save her stuff, delete user and then reinstate. HELP
    Thanks

    <<But you have opened another can of worms. Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions? What is the purpose of these 2? >>
    Testing and repairing disk permissions:
    If you have trouble opening applications or documents, or if your computer is running slowly, the user permissions for some of your files may be set incorrectly. Permission problems sometimes happen after you update your system or install new software. With Disk Utility, you can repair these problems.
    You can verify or repair permissions only on a disk with Mac OS X installed.
    In Disk Utility, select the disk in the list.
    Click First Aid.
    Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions.
    As it works, Disk Utility may print messages about its progress and the special permissions some files use. These messages do not mean your files' permissions were incorrect.
    Repairing Disk Permissions can fix a myriad of bugs when things go wrong on a Mac. It's a simple trouble shooting tool.
    Your Disk Utility application is in your Application/Utilities folder.
    So that you can better understand how Disk Utility works, launch the application, then from the Menu Bar click Help. There's an index available.

  • Why i have very very slow downloading speed on wifi on iphone5

    While on wifi I am experiencing very slow downloading speed on iPhone 5. My iPhone 5 is a brand new phone, I have to wait for hours to complete a running download of about 40mb or so. Please help me and tell me if there is any solution to that. On the same wifi network I have the new iPad and iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, all are working perfectly getting perfect speed while downloading but I can't on iPhone 5.

    What you did was fine. Leopard is a little different to 10.4.11, but:
    Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two.

    and here:

    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • QuickTime launches slow but only the first time

    QuickTime is slow in Mac OS 10.7, that's been widely discussed.
    In my case, QuickTime is slow to open up a video file (MP4, AVI, WMV, etc,), but only the first time.  After I've successfully opened up the one video file, all subsequent video files open up quickly, even after quitting QuickTime.
    However, after a restart it's the same old situation again.
    Is QuickTime installing something, then removing it when the computer shuts down?

  • When i open safari it is very slow but once it has opened i can switch web sites very quick, can anyone tell me why.

    I have a problem when i open Safari.it takes a few minutes to open, the home page opens but if i try to open ( say Amazon) it just sits there for more minutes before opening ,but once it has opened i can switch from web site to web site very quick.can anyone tell me why this and is there anything i can do to 

    Try changing the "Top Sites shows:" to the smallest number possible.  Safari is loading these sites when its starts so it can give you an image of what the site looks like when you start blank new window.  A smaller number of sites will make that quicker, assuming the top sites do not have a very slow site in the mix.

  • Internet is very slow but shouldn't be...

    I have had a MacBook for about a year now and until recently my internet has been working fine. We just moved to our house in Canada and now my internet has been very slow most of the time. When i first turn on my computer the internet works great. The activity monitor shows a very high speed (aound 120 kb/s average). After a minute the internet slows down to around an average of 5 to 10 kb/s. Our iMac's internet works great and both computers are using the built in airport. I downloaded iAntiVirus and scanned my computer and nothing bad was found. There is an old windows laptop with a wireless card right next to my laptop that has good internet speed. I can't think of whats wrong but I think something is slowing my internet down.
    Any suggestions to how this can be fixed/what's wrong?

    Some more info,
    I have found that this problem (internet 'fading' out and in) happens wherever I am. Also, a friend had this problem with his apple computer and his Dad fixed it somehow so I'm pretty sure there is a fix.

  • Can I save my photos from my Nikon Coolpix AWS 120 camera to my camera roll on my ipad over wifi without using any type of adapter but only using wifi?

    Can I use my ipad mini and my wifi camera to save my photos on my ipad without using an adapter and only using wifi? If so. How

    Not unless you import them to your computer first, then sync with iTunes over WiFi, but I suspect that sort of defeats the purpose.
    Just use the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter to connect your camera directly, or alternatively, the SD Card Adapter.

  • Youtube very slow, not only on safari but all other of my web browsers.HELP

    Over the past weeks youtube has been getting slower and slower, a few weeks ago it wouldn't even load youtube thumbnails, it's very confusing. My mac is almost a year old and has 4 gigabytes of ram. It is running MAc OS X 10.5 (whatever the most current version is) Any tips?

    Hi
    Follow the suggestions set forth in this recent post for upgrading to the latest version of Flash (10.0.12.36). When complete, restart Safari, then go to the Safari Menu and "empty cache". Then try the video linked in the aforementioned post.

  • Help! Ran EtreCheck on Macbook Pro. Very slow and only 2 years old.

    I want to start out by saying I take very good care of my computer, its my baby .  But for some reason over the last 6 months it has gotten extremely slow. I have no idea what is causing this. Something that sparks my attention is that I have 8 gigs of RAM and after I start up my computer I'm left with only about 30 megabytes of free RAM right off the bat.
    I do want to point out that I am running the second developer preview of Yosemite as I am testing our software on it. I have had no further problems with the developer OSX that I had with Mavericks. The problems came about way before this.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Here are screenshots of the EtreCheck report:

    You mistreated your baby by installing the useless Sophos garbage.
    Uninstall it.
