Long delay after logging in - WXP & M200

Hi,
When my M200 is running on batteries, most of the times I log in to the system from a cold start I have to wait for about two minutes after logging in. Opening the Task Manager learns that the CPU is idle, harddisk is idle, only few of the processes loaded; the system just seems to be waiting for something. Other programs than Task Manager cannot be opened.
Around the time the delay happens, in the System section of the Event log the following error messages are recorded:
. "Silent Running: Stress test transition: Dynamic -> Performance 3D", service "nv", event_ID: 106
. "Silent Running: Stress test transition: Performance 3D -> LowPower 3D", service "nv", event_ID: 106
nv seems to be nVidia, but reinstalling the display driver did not change a bit. When the system is running on AC power, the problem never occured.
What is happening here & how do I solve it?
Thanks for any good suggestion.
Pieter.

Hi,
in my opinion this relates to the power savings because the graphic chip is a Nvidia GeForce FX Go 5200 for notebooks. The chip is managed by the power savings and could be set to different modes.
I search in the internet about these error messages and foud something. All opinion I had read said that this only a event log entry which doesn't matter. There are some more similar expressions for other events.
Nice holidays and Xmas

  • Long delay when logging in Network User

    Hello,
    We are running into a weird problem.
    We have an XServe G5 2.0 GHz DP with 5 GB RAM, providing multiple services to a small school.
    The Users have Network-based accounts, and are authenticated via OD on the same server.
    Lately, Users have started experiencing a very long delay when logging in.
    At the login prompt, if they input the wrong password, they get "the shake" right away, which indicates that the authentication speed is rather fast. If they do input the right credentials, nothing happens for 25 - 30 seconds, and then login proceeds as usual, fairly quickly. The machines are normally responsive from there on, i.e. it is not a network performance issue. Also, even if no one is on the server, the first one to log in runs into the same issue, i.e. it is not a server overload issue. Does anyone have an idea what is going on? Any suggestions for a solution will be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Alain Chammas

    Hi
    This could be down to a time sync issue. Are Server and Clients all using the same Network Time Server? Do you see a similar delay when presenting the login window displaying a list of network users? If you did not know this is a computer list mananged preference. Anything unusual in the system.log?
    Hope this helps, Tony

  • Long delay after issuing commands at prompt

    This has only begun recently, so I assume I've done something wrong but I havn't tinkered that much, so I can't really retrace my steps.
    At the prompt when I type in certain commands there is a very long delay (10-30 seconds) to load certain things. startx is one of them, emacs and firefox are others.
    There isn't really anything else to say, there isn't any error messages or anything so I really have no idea how to locate the problem. It also occurs outside of a prompt, for instance when using xbindkeys.
    After they've been loaded once they load quickly but it's really annoying after I reboot.
    Any clues?

    I find that there is a small delay normally with those programs, I'm not sure if that's what you mean.
    Could you post the contents of /var/log/errors.log and the output of dmesg.  Also you might check the CPU
    usage when they open.

  • Long delay after F10 "full  motion" stop

    I am new to Captivate and am recording a movie in Word where
    I need user to see continuous movement of mouse cursor as I point
    to different things in the Word document. I am also using
    continuous audio while recording to movie. The problem is that when
    I hit the F10 key to stop the full motion animation I get a delay
    of about 20 seconds before the movie ends, even though I quickly
    hit the End key after hitting the F10 key. The full motion movie
    created is about 9MB and about 4 minutes long but with a long delay
    of at least 20 seconds with no action at the end of the movie. It's
    almost like my hardware is working to stop the animation and end
    the movie but it is taking 20 seconds to stop the full motion
    recording and ending the movie. Has anyone else experienced this
    problem? I am using a laptop with a Celeron M 1.5 GHZ computer. Is
    my hardware the problem?
    Adobe technical support has had me reload the Captivate
    program several times with no luck.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi again Jeff
    As I indicated in my earlier post, full motion in Captivate
    is brief. For example, say you are recording WordPad (this example
    is taken from the official Captivate training curriculum).
    You record dragging across a sentence to select it. This is
    just a few seconds long and ends up as full motion. You then click
    the color pallete to change the color. This results in a static
    slide. You choose the color. Another static slide. You step off to
    show the color change. Another static slide. Now you scroll the
    document to view the text at the bottom. Another full motion slide
    as you drag the thumb of the scroll bar. Then you select multiple
    lines. Another full motion slide as you select the lines. Then you
    click the icon to apply bullets. Static slide. Then step off the
    selected text to reveal the bulleted text with no highlight. A
    final static slide.
    With Captivate, it is the combination of static and full
    motion slides that provides the illusion of fluid movement.
    Hope this helps... Rick

  • Long delay after switching application

    I have a project which has about 1000 clips.  Every time I switch to another application and then back to Premiere, it takes a very long time before Premiere can respond to any action.  Initially, I thought it's b/c memory.  So I added more RAM and see about 50% of RAM free.  However, this does not help.
    One day I deleted a clip in Explorer and switching back to Premiere.  After the long delay, it pops up a dialog asking me where is the clip.
    So could the long delay is from scanning for clip changes?  If so, is there any way to disable it?
    thanks!

    Do you mean:
    1. The delay is unrelated to the scanning of clips
    or
    2. It's not possible to stop the scanning?
    The project file is only 40MB.  I've had 100MB or even larger project file before and never see such long delay.  Could you please give me some pointer on how to reduce this delay (right now about 30 seconds)?
    Thanks!

  • [Gnome 3] Long delay after login

    Hi guys,
    I experience a delay of about 15 seconds before the system begins to start the gnome-shell after I had logged in through GDM. During that time the system doesn't seem to work. At least the hard drive is not.
    Can you confirm that behaviour?
    Regards

    The dbus subsystem isn't starting.  You might want to add that to your DAEMONS to start on boot or check to see why it isn't starting.

  • BB Balance - long delay after switch to/unlock business content after Upgrade to 10.2

    Dear All,
    we're using Z10 with BES10.1.3, everything run smoothly but we've one issue:
    since we have upgraded Z10 device software from 10.1 to 10.2.0.1791 there is a delay of about 12-15 seconds each time we unlock device to business content until we see messages in BB-Hub
    to explain, business content is locked - we type in password - OK
    display switch to empty hub - then we have to wait 12-15sec. until messages will appear in hub
    We've tried out different things, we've wiped device, we've deleted business content and regarding email account, activated device new on BES10, wait 2 days that basic syncronisation will be done and same issue.
    Can you help us please, we don't know what we should try out any more...Blackberry Hub and the fast check of new incoming messages is one of the main features of Z10...thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your quick reply, so what should I try out with this device in detail?
    Thanks

  • Long delay after startup before screen brightness, volume buttons work

    I just started noticing this in the last few days. After I start up, it will be 4 or 5 minutes before I can adjust the screen brightness or volume using the F keys. Also, I noticed that I can't do a "Force Quit" during this time - either by doing the keystroke or by going to the Apple menu. After this "dead period" is over, if I've enacted any of the aforementioned activities, they will appear on the screen all at once.
    I can start and use other applications just fine during this period. It seems like OS X is just not completely done booting up, and that's why I can't get to any of the built-in OS features. I think I would be fine with that if I was still using windows, but I've never had this problem on my mac before. The only things that I've installed in the last few weeks are the Firefox 3 upgrade and (I believe) some pushed updates from Apple - can't remember which apps they were for.
    Can someone help me troubleshoot this?

    Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    How much Free space do you have on what size HD?
    Might give a try with Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Or, you can do some of those things another way...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    Then Safe Boot off the HD & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.

  • Long delay after a drag and drop to trash

    This seems like a new behavior and I haven't changed anything: when I drag something to the trash there seems to be a delay in it actually "Getting in there," however if I right click and then click "Move to Trash" its immediate. Is this the way it should be? I am not using secure delete.

    And it does nothing similar when you drop an item on a folder or anything else, only the trash... Geez, that is pretty darn strange. And if you slowly drag and drop it, it does the same? I wonder if resetting your PRAM might be worth a shot.
    If you delete or remove the plist from where it is now I would guess that a new one would be created automatically like most preferences. But maybe you should wait for Baltwo on that one. Does force quitting the finder do anything? You might also try starting up in Safe Mode to see if that has any effect. If it does, there's probably some software conflict going on. Good luck, if you get it fixed post back. I'd really like to know what was going on.

  • Long delay after selecting print in Mail

    Hi,
    Installed Snow Leopard over the weekend, however there is a delay when I try to print any email (large or small) from Mail.
    I click command and P and the 'File' in the top menu turns blue for around 30 seconds before the print dialogue box finally pops up. I am going to add another 1Gb RAM to my Macbook to see if this addresses this issue. Bear in mind that Mail is the only application open at the time.
    Does anyone else have this issue?

    Hello Rory:
    FWIW, I do not have that problem.
    You might try a couple of things.
    1. Rebuild the mailbox(s).
    2. Delete your printer, restart, and then add it back into your system.

  • Long delay on KDE login caused by Pulseaudio

    Hi all,
    I am experiencing an annoying delay after logging into KDE. This happened very recently, where I moved to pure systemd and upgraded kde (I am not sure what the exact cause is). It looks like https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1157890, but instead of not starting, I get a long delay.
    Example:
    timestamp 0 - login
    timestamp 8 - desktop is loaded partially and startup freezes
    timestamp 33 - loading the desktop continues
    This is very reproducable, I logout and login again - the issue repeats with the same times. I have isolated the problem to /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11, line:
    /usr/bin/pactl load-module module-x11-xsmp "display=$DISPLAY session_manager=$SESSION_MANAGER" > /dev/null
    Stracing it shows that it freezes after sending the load-module command to pulseaudio over the native socket in /tmp/pulse-XXX/native and waiting for a response. This takes about 25 seconds, the same as in the example above.
    The above timestamp tests have been performed by adding the next to ~/.bash_profile:
    if mkdir /tmp/checks 2>/dev/null; then
    for ((i=0; i<=40; i++)); do
    [ -d /tmp/checks ] || break
    p=00$i
    p=${p:0-2}
    ps xww -o user,pcpu,cmd >> /tmp/checks/$p-ps
    cp $HOME/.xsession-errors /tmp/checks/$p-xe
    sleep 1
    done
    fi &
    I then use the next to check the differences between two ps outputs (after using wc -l to count the lines in the files and using `date -r XX-ps` to check the timestamp):
    read a b; colordiff -u <(sed 's/[0-9]\.[0-9]//' $a-ps) <(sed 's/[0-9]\.[0-9]//' $b-ps)|less -r
    Similar to http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermai … 11721.html which appears to be solved, but not for me.
    Does anyone else experience this issue? Any solutions?
    System is up-to-date, KDE 4.9.1, pulseaudio 2.1, systemd, laptop.
    Edit: the problem occured since I patched kdm to set XAUTHORITY (not sure if that is related), after replacing with the original kdm binary, the issue seems to be gone is still existent.

    Well yes, that just avoids the issue by preventing start-pulseaudio-x11 from starting. I'll try that workaround until a real solution shows up. Thanks for your reply.
    I'll try this patch from Ubuntu quantal does not seem to work:

  • CP 7 Bug? Long delay between preloader and first slide

    I am using OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 and recenly created my first project since upgrading to CP 7. My project is 15 slides and contains only audio (mp3) and image files. My preloader is set to 25%. When I upload the published project to my web server and test, there is a fairly long delay after the preloader loads and before the course begins. It last several seconds and appears as if all the elements on the first slide are missing (the only thing that shows is the playbar - I have only the CC button turned on):
    Is this a bug with CP 7? I have never experienced anything like this in CP 5.5 and 6.

    That should have been the "last" Artist, not "first". I would've edited the message, but I guess I'm too late as the option isn't available.

  • Is there a fix for long "spindle" delays after the 10.6.8 upgrade?

    After I downloaded the 10.6.8 upgrade and even the combo pack I get very long delays. Only reverting the system back to 10.6 helps.
    Any ideas?

    After doing a Software Update, AirPort has been having serious connection issues. It cannot find wireless networks where the *Wireless SSID Broadcast is DISABLED*. My iPhone finds the networks perfectly, every time. I am forced to input the network manually every time through "Join Other Network...", even though the network is saved on the Advanced list in Network Preferences.
    *Here are the specs of my MacBook Pro:*
    Model Name: MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,3
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 6 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
    *The router I am connecting to is...*
    Linksys Compact Wireless-G Broadband Router
    Model WRT54GC
    Firmware Version: v1.05.7
    Mode: Mixed
    Wireless Channel: 06
    Security: WPA2 Personal
    Encryption: AES
    Everything is pretty much defaulted to the default settings for the router. I have also another Linksys Router that is having the same problems. These used to work before perfectly BEFORE the MacBook 10.5.8 updates...
    *Previous Methods in Trying to Resolve Issue:*
    -Deleting AirPort connection in Network Preferences and re-adding it
    -Deleting the "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" file in /Library/Preferences/etc.
    I'm at a loss here... any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Brand New Installation of Snow Leopard Takes A Very Long Time To Log In

    Hello All
    I installed Snow Leopard onto a friends computer this past weekend and I have run into a strange issue. The computer in question is a Black MacBook 2.16 GHz with 2GB of RAM. The first thing I did was to back up the computer to an external hard drive using TimeMachine. Next, I formatted the drive and zeroed out all of the data. I then installed Mac OS X 10.6 onto the computer. During the initial boot process, I restored the applications, home directory, and misc. files from the TimeMachine backup. The first login took an extremely long time to log in. I figured that the Mac was sorting out the newly restored files and home directory and such and this was probably normal. Then I ran all of the software updates to get the machine completely current. When I rebooted, it took a really long time to log in. I thought maybe the machine was sorting out and installing the new updates (even though it has never taken this long on my MacBook. So I started up from the Snow Leopard install CD and ran DiskUtility and repaired the disk and permissions. Upon another reboot (I timed it this time) it, again, took a very long time ... *8.5 minutes!* I'm at my wits end and am thinking about rebuilding the machine again to see if this build is better. Also, as far as I can tell, the System is working perfectly once I get logged in; no spinning beach ball, hangs, kernel panics or what have you. Also, the machine didn't have this issue before I rebuilt it. Has anybody ever heard of this before? If so, is there a nice fix for it?
    Thank you all for reading and have a good day.

    Check /System/Library/StartupItems & /Library/StartupItems on the Black MacBook. Any items in either folder is not part of the Snow Leopard install & may be causing the slow starts. Also check System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items, especially if the log in screen comes up quickly & most of the delay is after entering the account password. It is normal to see the iTunes Helper app login item, but any others may be causing the delay, especially if they are not fully compatible with Snow Leopard or are apps that require Rosetta to start up before they will run. The same goes for any items n the "Others" section of System Preferences.
