Long delay on start up
Hi,
My department at work has several 15 inch Powerbooks, running 10.4.8. We are all having similar problems. In the office, connected to the network, startup is fine. Out of the office, startup can take a very long time - 10,15,20 minutes or longer. Usually we'll get the log in window, enter our name and password, and the computer will spin for a while, then the enter button goes grey, and the computer spins again for a long time.
Sometimes on the road it is quick, and all seems fine. Other times it seems to take forever.
Any ideas on what is wrong? Is the computer looking for a network? If so, is there a workaround?
thanks
will
as a guess, OS could be looking to load something off the network.
as a test, try creating new user on laptop, log in as new user and see what happens.
if loads quick under new user, issue is caused by something with the original user accounts.
also, in Accounts preferences, check startup items for the user.

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract—not at the end.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A GPU restart report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".gpuRestart". Select the most recent of each. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful. -
Problem With Listener Service: Long Delay Starting Listener, Intermittent Connections
I am having trouble connecting to my Oracle database. I'm not sure what the cause was, but now when I connect to a database that has been working fine for the past two years, I usually get a ORA-12541 error.
I run lsnrctl status on the server and get a prinout like this:
Copyright (c) 1991, 2010, Oracle. All rights reserved.

I've also tried manually stopping the service via services.msc and then restarting via lsnrctl start, but when I do this I get a really long delay (10+ minutes) before it returns with something like:

I'm pretty lost as to what is wrong. I've been messing around with listener.ora, but I don't see anything problematic in there. Here's a copy:

Long delay starting up in Leopard
I have been finding that my Mac Mini is taking an inordinately long time to start up in Leopard 10.5.5. I have long delays in both the gray screen with the rotating gear, and also in the "blue screen" that appears afterwards. I have tried starting up in verbose mode to see if I can identify a problem in the startup sequence, and there seem to be a number of errors that occur during startup. I have several different external disk drives attached to my Mac (both FireWire and USB), which may be contributing to the problem, but it seems to be slow even when I disconnect these devices. Is there any way to troubleshoot or debug the startup sequence to streamline it and allow the Mac to start up more quickly?
Thanks for any help or input on this.Dear everyXnewXday,
I'm as mystified as you are. This sounds exactly like my issue. Have you tried starting up in Verbose mode (hold down cmd-V on startup)? This will give you a running log of events that occur during startup, and may indicate where errors are occurring that the operating system has to resolve or work around in order to proceed. I'm no expert in interpreting this information, though, which is why I posted this question in the event others have ideas about how to reduce the amount of computational "red tape."
Do you have many external drives or other peripherals connected to your computer? One thing I have noticed in the startup sequence is that the OS has some difficulty recognizing or mounting some of them (in particular, a Seagate FreeAgent USB drive). Not sure if this is a driver issue, but I believe I have the most current drivers for all my external drives.

MacBook Pro takes a long time to start up or hangs at gray apple logo after minor fall
I upgraded to Mavericks a few days ago. Everything was working fine until yesterday, when my MacBook Pro started taking a really long time to start up or restart.
Before upgrading I had some directory problems which I fixed with DiskWarrior. I then upgraded to Mavericks. There was also a fall that I took, which resulted in the MacBook Pro hitting on one corner and getting a minor dent (It was inside a padded messenger bag when I fell). It worked fine for a whole day, but the next day it started slowing down and getting stuck.
I run DiskWarrior again and there was more directory problems, which were fixed again. When I start the MacBook Pro from an external HD with Mac OS X 10.8, there is no delay in starting up. When I switch to the internal HD, then I get very long delays (5-10min) or hangs at the gray apple logo screen.
DiskUtility did not report any problems, neither did SMART report.
Could it be that the HD got somewhat damaged and gets stuck intermittently? Is it possible to start up OK some times and others to get stuck?
How can I check the HD? Shouldn't the SMART report indicate a problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my main work computer!
ChrisI think that my Mac was shutdown when it fell, but I am not 100% sure.
I did perform both SMC and PRAM resets. I will also try to run maintenance scripts. Thanks for the suggestion.
It keeps on taking around 10min to restart now, but it has not frozen yet.
The other very strange thing that happens (and this was the first sign I had when it started acting up) is that Mail.app cannot connect to my IMAP servers (a host provider and Google), even though my Mac connects to the internet. I have the MacBook Pro on the same ethernet network as my home iMac, and I get mail without a problem on the iMac! So something is blocking the mail on the MacBook Pro.
This happened for the first time on Friday and after that I kept having the long delays in startup or freezes I mentioned before.
Could those two be connected?
When I use an external HD as as start up I can get mail fine. -
Long time to start Java Web Client (Analyzer 6.2.1)??
Does anyone know why Analyzer(6.2.1) takes a long time to start Java Web Client. Sometime it's even take more than 5 minutes. I think it is the Java Plug-in starting on the client computer. Any solution?
The key to Analyzer 6.2.1 running correctly is the version of Sun Java Plugin. The ideal version (most optimal) is 1.3.0_02.Secondary to this if Analyzer performs OK once you are logged in then it could be down to the speed of your connection. The applet compiles at runtime (unlike Analyzer 5 which was a one time download). The delay in getting to the login screen could be this download.Hope this helps.Paul ArmitageAnalitica Ltd.www.analitica.co.uk

[SOLVED]Long delay opening files if multiple selection in file chooser
neok wrote:
Hi,
When I try to open several files in an application, (example: Gimp), by multiple selection in the 'open' filechooser, there is a long delay (about 1 sec per file) before the Gimp starts opening image files. During this delay, the disk access LED flashes continuously and iotop indicates that its jbd2 accessing (writing) on the / partition on my SSD drive. This is despite the fact that the image files are on an external USB hard disk and the Gimp would have no reason to write anything on the / partition. Even if it did, the image files are small (50-100 kb) and such a long delay would be out of place.
The significant thing is that the delay occurs _before_ the Gimp starts opening files. It seems the delay is in the filechooser making a list of the files to be opened. Once the Gimp starts opening files, it finishes quickly.
This sort of thing happens with other apps that can open several files by multiple selection in a filechooser.
Any hints please? I am lost here :-(
The delay is caused by (apparently) GTK which writes to the ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel file, to record all the files that are opened in the multiple selction. Even so, this writing seems too slow, even when opening a large number of files (the ones that I open by multiple selection, by an app that I am working on, are about 10k each, so opening a few hundred should not take the delay I see, about 30 sec).
Anyhow, I patched the problem eventually by chattr +i ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel to stop the writing. But I would prefer to disable the use of this file by configurtion rather than brute force, if there is such a choice.

I re-installed and reconfigured Arch so that I now have a fresh, uptodate system. In the process, I found that this problem occurs when I run the Gimp as a normal user. If I run it under sudo, all is well. I am strggling to find out why, but no results so far (have checked file permissions where I thought there may be a problem, but no joy).
Any hints much appreciated. -
Long delay from receiving INVITE from PSTN gateway and actual end client call
I was wondering if there is anyone who can assist me in some troubleshooting long delays within the mediation server. I have a lab environment which has the front end and mediation server on the same box. I also have an audiocodes MP-114 connected to two
test PSTN lines and this is configured as a trunk to the mediation server and there is two polycom IP phones within the test environment.
Now everything works - SIP invites and media but certain aspects have significant delays.
The problem is with inbound calls from the PSTN line
PSTN via Audiocodes MP-114 to Polycom phone - When I dial the PSTN number from my mobile the audiocodes sends a SIP invite to the Mediation Server within just under a second - I was able to determine this by using the syslog and to be honest that seems a
reasonable time.
Now moving onto the OCSlogger I logged the mediation and SIP logs and the mediation server is showing the SIP invite about half a second later (I am assuming some network latency clock drift etc) which again seems fine.
I then receive various logs showing TLS negotiation between ports 5061 and high ports on the server, and dial plan matching which all seems ok and this seems to take about 1 second not great but not the biggest issue However I then dont receive any message
logs for over 3 seconds until the the mediation server states "SDP Answer to Gateway, SDP is :v=0"
Then another 4 seconds go by until another tls session is negotiated and the SIP invite is sent to the lync registered polycom phone and then the IP phone starts ringing - so it appears the mediation server is not doing anything anything for 7 seconds.
Now looking at the detailed Trace logs I get three TL_ERROR from the proxysdp.cs(1417) proxysdp.cs(422) during the delay that states
TL_ERROR(TF_PROTOCOL) [0]12EC.1ED8::02/05/2014-12:22:45.305.000b07d8 (MediationServer,ProxySdpProcessor.InternalTryParseSdpT<GlobalDescription_TMediaDescription>:proxysdp.cs(1417))
(0000000003CB324D)SDP parsing error: Empty SDP offer
and then a warning
TL_WARN(TF_COMPONENT) [0]12EC.1ED8::02/05/2014-12:22:49.028.000b080e (MediationServer,ProxyCall.FinishGetOffer:proxycall.cs(4578))[57060297]
57060297Could not get MRAS candidates from the Media Relay token. Connectivity Servers List = SRV-0003.LOCAL.COM.NULL
and an error from SIPSTACK
TL_ERROR(TF_COMPONENT) [0]1298.25DC::02/05/2014-12:22:49.034.000b1d72 (SIPStack,CISIPProxy::CreateUriFromString:ISIPProxy.cpp(1333))
( 00000000002061A0 ) Exit - not a valid SIP address. Returned 0xC3E93F25(SIPPROXY_E_INVALID_URI_SCHEME)
Now the call goes though and works fine but the delay is considerable for the first ring - Has anyone got any ideas as I am stumped at the moment
Cheers
AdamAdam, you did not mention Edge and so, I will assume one is not deployed yet. Is this the case? Do you have edge defined in topology but not physically configured? "Could
not get MRAS candidates from the Media Relay token" indicates Mediation is trying to get Media Relay address from Edge via FE, but could not.

Long delay when sending non-btinternet mail
We are using Outlook Express/Windows mail client, and there is a long long delay when sending mail.
It just hangs saying "Connecting..." in the status bar. Receiving email has no problems.
Eventually it sometimes works or sometimes just times out.
The smtp server is not btinternet/yahoo but our own email server, which we have been using for 10 years. There is no problem pinging the smtp server. e.g. smtp.ourserver.net
It works without delays on other (non BT) home/business networks.
We have tried plugging other laptops into this home network and trying to send email (to the same mail server) - same problem.
It therefore seems to be peculiar to a BT Hub or BT as the ISP.
The problem seems to have first appeared when an upgrade was made to cater for future fibre optic services.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Today I started from my Firewire-device with 10.4.11 and had ichat running from there. I chatted with my friend, who is on 10.5.1 - no problems at all. (so my router is not causing the problem, as I thought)

I remember that I installed Little snitch some time ago and removed it manually. Then today I run the official uninstaller for it. Still I cannot get rid of this activity. May be it has to do something with the text delay in ichat? How to delete all Little Snitch processes? How can someone find these data?

Hello, I have a 2002 Quicksilver mac running OS 10.3.9. When I start up my mac it goes through the usual process, first the gray Apple logo with the spining time symbol while it loads, then a blue screen followed by the bar which shows the apps being loaded at start up. The thing is now after the first step of the Apple logo with the spining time symbol, I have to wait a minute or more on the blue screen before the bar which shows the start up apps being loaded. I never had to wait this long before. It would be almost an instant after the Apple logo with the spining symbol that the bar would show. Once the bar screen is done and it shows the desktop everything seems to run ok. I have repaired permissions with no effect, and was wondering if there was anything else that may be causing this problem?
Thanks,
John
G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)Thanks for the reply,
I actually have two hard drives, one that I use for media. The I have not added any thing to the main drive with my OS for a long time. I have 56 gig available on my main drive. The funny thing is it just started happening, where one day it was working fine then the next time I turned on the computer it started to have a long delay before it would show the bar where the start up apps are being loaded. Could it be my hard drive needs to be replaced? Is there any other thing that I could check?

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.
Last edited by Lekensteyn (2012-09-16 20:50:27)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:

Creating an empty ~/.config/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop overrides the one in /etc/xdg/ and seems to work.

Long delay when sending normal text message
Whenever I send a standard message, there is always a long delay (8 secs) before it sends. I know it is not aol because it is all the time. I am running 10.5.1 on my macbook with iChat 4. I have tried reinstalling ichat including removing all pref files. Still no luck. Any help would be great! Thanks.
Today I started from my Firewire-device with 10.4.11 and had ichat running from there. I chatted with my friend, who is on 10.5.1 - no problems at all. (so my router is not causing the problem, as I thought)
Starting from 10.5.1 again I opened up Activity Monitor and found this message every 10 secs !
25.12.07 25.12. 15:18:29 com.apple.launchd[138] (at.obdev.LittleSnitchUIAgent[654]) Exited with exit code: 1
25.12.07 25.12. 15:18:29 com.apple.launchd[138] (at.obdev.LittleSnitchUIAgent) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

I remember that I installed Little snitch some time ago and removed it manually. Then today I run the official uninstaller for it. Still I cannot get rid of this activity. May be it has to do something with the text delay in ichat? How to delete all Little Snitch processes? How can someone find these data?
Thanks for Feedback -
Long delay launching application
I have a problem with an application dispensed by webstart. Some users get long delays launching the application. Webstart hangs at the point of "checking for updates" and takes up to 20 mins to get past this point. The problem is not usually reliable. The few times I've got my hands on a computer which displays these symptoms it mysteriously decides to start working properly. Has anybody experienced anything similar or have any idea what might be happening?
I noticed a bug with similar symptoms in the FAQ but I am not setting heap size so it's not that.
The only common feature I've identified is that it doesn't appear to happen to people who don't have to authenticate on the web server.
These are the details:
There are about 100 people launching an application through webstart on various operating systems and with various network configurations - ie some are loading over a vpn and some access from outside the network.
All users are accessing the same web server and all users go through a fairly restrictive firewall (though obviously open on port 80).
There is a possibility that some of the files (in particular the jnlp file) get cached by servers routing the data. This has sometimes caused problems before.
The server (running apache) requires authentication for all users not on the local network.
The application is quite large and it takes about 30 mins to download via a 56k modem.
There are regular updates to one of the jar files.sorry to revive an old thread... perhaps this may be of some help to you

Browsing---long delays states it is 'loading' second third attempt works fine.
When I enter a search topic---there is a long delay--tool bar states 'searching'. If I then re-enter after going out of the screen and then in again---the same thing happens. If I repeat the above---after two or three times search commences like normal.
I find this very frustrating. If I go to another search engine this does not happen.Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.<br />
