[Solved] Chromium - Overusing CPU

Today I wanted to take a look into Chromium. So I:
pacman grabbed it
went setting by setting configuring it
signed into my google accounts
found all simmiler addons from firefox (List below)
Configured every addon
checked out the about:flags section
enabled the "Uber Page" (Tested both with and without this)
launched htop
put on mplayer with my favorite podcasts
then started surfing...
About 1-2 minutes later the entire (more or less (Seems to be a render thread (Meaning the UI reacts to input, but the chrome (UI at the top of the browser, not the browser's name) becomes wonky and the pages fails to respond))) browser lagged to a hault and htop showed that /bin/lib/chromium/chromium had ~120% CPU utilisation. One of the cores is running a solid 100% used and nothing will get the browser going again except a relaunch.
I have tried everything, and even doing nothing in roughly the same time will acheive the same result.
The chromium task manager shows 0 CPU usage among all "Pages" then jumped later to show 104% for the browser.
I tried to view chrome:memory, but it just wouldn't load.
The memory ran essentially at ~400M of memory the entire time and my system has 4G of it, so it's not a memory problem.

Just checked my TTY1 fom which I launched X. Seems that the crashing thread is throwing the following error twice on chromium's boot:
...:ERROR:bus.cc(261)] Failed to connect to the bus: Failded to connect to the socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
I now tried running it with the --no-sandbox option. Same result.
I now ran:
$pacman -Syyu
so I know I'm up to date. I haven't rebooted since installing chromium, so I will try that after posting and will update this thread if anything changes.
Solution:
Well it seems it was a problem with just the addons. No matter how I played, anything more than 7 would yeild the same thing. Honnestly, Chromium's plugin API is awful. I'll stick with firefox, at least it can run my plugins to tweek the UI to my liking (All 32 of them... UGH).

Yes, I have gstreamer good, bad, ugly, ffmpeg and all the plugins.
I decided to try installing pulseaudio. It turns out you were in fact correct all my mp3 files now play correctly. Very strange! thanks for your help axelectrik.

[SOLVED] chromium unresponsive when opening preferences

When opening preferences in chromium, a new tab appears but it is not populated and the tab becomes unresponsive. Obviously, this is a deal-breaker and I need some help in fixing it.
I observed that after opening preferences, a new ktradertest process (I use KDE) is eating 100% cpu. ktradertest is spawned by xdg-settings, which is spawned by the original chromium process, trying to determine if it is the default browser. So the root problem is that ktradertest never returns. This is reproducible by running "ktradertest text/html Application" in a terminal.
A new user account did not exhibit the same behavior. Running ktradertest through either strace or gdb also failed to reproduce the problem. Attaching to the hung process yields the following stack trace:
#0 0x00007f4a429b81c5 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1

So it seems that some configuration file is causing the problem, but I've tested every one I can think of without success.

It seems that ktradertest is part of kdelibs3 and is not included in recent releases of KDE4, which explains why I couldn't find any information about it. There was only one old application using kdelibs3, so I got rid of all KDE3 stuff and the problem is solved. Since ktradertest is not intended to be run in a modern KDE4 environment, it's understandable that it's unstable and failing in this weird way.
However, it seems that xdg-settings should not be using it. xdg-settings also calls xdg-mime, which does perform a version check and uses ktraderclient in the case of KDE4. It seems that xdg-settings should also perform that check and not use ktradertest, which probably just returns a "command not found" on most desktops.

(solved) T61 swap cpu? (everything you need to know about swapping a T61 or T61p CPU)

Edit: I've summerized everything I've learned in a week long search and added it to this topic, so scroll down and read. You'll save yourself many hours of reading and research.
I asked this as part of a prior topic but never got a definite answer, so I'll ask this specific question.
Can I swap a cpu from one t61 to another?
Donor system: T61 15.4widescreen with T9300 cpu (2.5ghz, 6mb cache)
New System: T61 15.4 widescreen with T8100 cpu (2.1ghz, 3mb cache)
I'd like to know for sure before I begin. Best answer I got so far is "I think so".
ps. I also have a 14" (non-widescreen) t61 with a T7300 cpu (2.0ghz 4mb cache). I'm thinking the larger cache makes this superior to the T8100 even though it's slightly slower, do you agree? and if not, should I put the leftover T8100 in it? will it fit? more trouble then it's worth? (secondary question, but non-urgent)
ThinkPad W-510 i7-820QM(1.73-3.06GHz) Quad Core... ThinkPad T500, T9900, 8gb SSD...FrankNpad T-60p/61p (X9000 2.8ghz) 8gb SSD ips FlexView...ThinkPad T-61p (T9300 2.5ghz) 8gb ram...Thinkpad X-61 Tablet 4gb ram...ThinkPad A-31 (1.9ghz P4 1.5gb ram)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm going to add some additional info to this post to help anyone who reads it.
The T61 / T61p was manufactured with one of two different types of CPUs
Merom (older)
Penryn (newer)
If your system board came with a Merom and you install a Penryn, you'll get a false "thermal error" on boot. There is a 3rd party bios to block that error from posting, but it's unauthorized by Lenovo and should be considered experimental.
If your system board came with a Penryn, you can install either of the two CPUs.
If your not sure of which CPU you have, load your bios and it will show you it's intel number. Mine is T9300 (which is a 2.5GB Penryn CPU with 6MB of cache). Go to Intel's website and search that number and towards the top of the page it will say something like "formerly Penryn" (I believe "formerly" is used because they are out of production).
Example: http://ark.intel.com/products/33917/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9300-(6M-Cache-2_50-GHz-800-MHz-FSB)
Since Penryn is newer, your Merom boards won't be able to run the faster CPUs, so you can either try to find the fastest Merom CPU, or if you want to be daring you can reflash your bios with an unoffical firmware and run the Penryn. Although this has been done successfully with thinkpad enthousiats world-wide, it still won't give you full Penryn support.
The fastest Merom processor I know of is that a T61 will run is the T7800 It runs at 2.6ghz and has 4MB cache (note that this is slightly faster ten my 2.5gz Penryn, but my 6MB of cache more then makes up for the slight difference in speed.
The fastest Penryn processor I know of is that the T61 will run is the T9500 It runs at 2.6ghz and has 6MB cache (some day I'll get one of these when the price in the used parts market drops low enough.
There are faster processors, but I believe the T61 will not support one with a front size buss rate above 800mhz. *note, if anyone knows if this is possible please contact me and I'll edit this information.
This should fully explain all the technical details I've discovered during my investigation, but to make this topic more complete, I'll hare a photographic guide showing how to remove and replace your CPU and cooling fan, and also addresses replacing your thermal paste (proper use of thermal paste is a MUST, to much and you could end up with a T61 paperweight, to little and you got the same problem. Basically when the heatsink is tightened down onto your CPU and GPU, it should spread to cover all the chip, with as little as possible overspread. I recommend Artic Silver #5, which is made of 99.9% silver filings. They also make a less expensive version that uses alumimum instead of silver, but given that T61 is known for thermal problems, you don't want to get cheap paste to save yourself all of $5.
Buying a new fan should be considered too. You can buy the fan alone for $12 includinng shipping from many ebay sellers. The heatsink and fan can also be purchased as a unit, but your heat sink should last the life of the Laptop. There is also a conductive "pad" that transfers heat from your systemboard chipset. This can be reused, just make sure it is intact and don't allow it to get any dust or finger prints on it. I'd also recommend a can of compressed air to blow out the inside of the laptop. Do this before you remove your cpu, you don't want to be blowing crap into the socket.
Also be very careful not to bend any pins on the CPU, and inspect the new CPU carefully, a slightly bent pin could miss being detected and if you insert the cpu carelessly, you'll crush it.

PDF guide (better guide in my opinion)
If anyone has a suggestion for improving this guide, send me a P.M.
If you found this information useful, click me some "kudos" so I'll know the time spent in sharing the info I learned is appriciated.

[SOLVED]Wine 100% cpu usage in some games

I'm using wine for almost 2yrs now, only to play counterstrike which it runs flawlessly. I today installed nfs undercover and it seems that cpu usage is always 100%(due to nfs.exe). From the nvidia control center I can see that the gpu temp is really low from which I can guess that the gpu is underutilized and so the game runs sluggishly. As I dont game that much in wine, I'm asking u guys that Is it supposed to be like this? or are there any tweaks?

Generally it is though. What's a 'hardcore' game? I play HoN through wine (long story) and I know that big resource hog NWN2 ran just the same FPS in wine as on the windows install. Those are even DirectX games, the extra cost of DirectX->OpenGL conversion is offset by the fact that you don't have to run a virus scanner and all those junk apps a typical windows install needs.
IMO wine is made for games of all kind. Now if only it worked better with Office and the Adobe apps....

[SOLVED] Chromium + pepper = Video @ double speed

I am using the latest stable chromium, with the pepper-stable package from the AUR recommended in the Chromium wiki.
I moved to Chromium as Flash is no longer being developed for Firefox....And Firefox 26 crashes a lot, and randomly, including with all plugins removed. So It's a problem right now.
As the subject mentions....I am getting weird video issues. Usually, the video plays back at double speed, with the associated spastic audio output. Here is an example: Ref: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smCQ2g9L7PU.
This used to play fine in Firefox with the old flashplugin.
In my porting process, here is what I did:
With no browser open:
a) "sudo pacman -Rs flashplugin"
a1) Verified that flash was no longer operating in Firefox.
b) "sudo pacman -S chromium"
c) "yaourt -S chromium-pepper-flash-stable"
d) In chromium: "chrome://plugins" to verify that flash wasn't showing up.
Arch x86_64 (current), NVidia GTX-660, using the nvidia drivers from Arch...extra. (rev 331.20) vdpau is installed in both the 64 and lib32 variants.
I have tried disabling hardware acceleration in the pepper-flash plugin, restarted the browser and retried. I have tried enabling hardware acceleration, restarted the browser and retried.
Playback seems unaffected in either scenario, and remains unusable.
Gnash has never performed properly for me in any scenario where I've tried it. So Gnash is not an option. Gnash has a long way to go until it is ready to be a good drop-in replacement for an official "flash plugin".
So for now, I have to use the smtube for smplayer to view YouTube/major news site videos properly.
I am requesting, please, some assistance in fixing my video playback issue in Chromium.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Dave
PS: I'm curious, why does the firefox community appear to be sitting on their hands when Adobe has made it clear for a long time that Adobe Flash for linux is being abandoned as of 01-JAN-2014? I would have expected some really heavy programming resources to be assigned to gnash to make it better, or write some sort of wrapper for the chromium pepper plugin....for official Adobe support.
Is there another reliable flash playback mechanism that I am missing all together?

I agree with ewaller (the new html5 player for youtube is good) but to answer your question I had a similar issue with pepperflash and if I recall correctly it was related to sound issues. I do not remember which package solved the issue but here is the alsa / pulseaudio packages I have installed:

[SOLVED] chromium install fails (imperfect solution)

I've recently installed arch on a new machine and while I am generally able to install other software from pacman I am having trouble with chromium.
Specifically one file:
error: failed retrieving file 'gtk2-2.24.24-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from mirrors.acm.wpi.edu : Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds
This error repeats for each mirror only to be exhausted and cause the installation to fail.
This has been occurring for over a week. I was away the entirety of last week and when I came in this morning I Synced and was still received the same error. I've searched but not encountered any similar errors. Can anyone add anything or might possibly know the status of gtk2-2.24.24?
EDIT:
changing the pacman configuration to use wget solved this issue, but I consider this imperfect as I don't really understand why the issue was happening in the first place. Perhaps I should just be happy that it worked, but I just wish I knew "why".
Last edited by matchew (2014-07-08 15:20:26)

That unfortunately did not fix my problem. Strangely enough I am able to download it from the mirror listed in my error message without fail at 10.7 MB/s using wget...I wonder what this is. I have been able to install a few other programs without issue too since I made this original post a couple hours ago.
EDIT:
ok, I went to the pacman conf
vi /etc/pacman.conf
and uncommented
XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget -c --passive-ftp -c %u
which then used wget to download the packages. I dislike this option, and wish I understood what was occuring previously. I think I will recomment that line and use this as a method in case of future failures. I hate to mark this as solved...but I will at the end of my work day if I can't figure out a better explanation.

[SOLVED] Question about CPU temperature

Hi everybody,
I just want to ask a question about "standard" CPU temperatures because my laptop (a Dell Vostro 3700) is permanently hot with the fans on even when I am not doing anything special.
I have CPU freq scaling active with the conservative governor, and I use Gnome Shell 3.2 with an nVidia using the nouveau driver.
Here are "stable" temperatures while writing this post:
# sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +72.5°C (crit = +103.0°C)
nouveau-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +78.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +110.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +73.0°C (high = +95.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 2: +73.0°C (high = +95.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
And this is the output of mpstat
# mpstat -P ALL

10:16:50 PM 3 1.36 0.20 0.39 0.02 0.00 0.01 0.00 0.00 98.01
The fan, of course, is full speed (very annoying)
I think that these temperatures are quite high, but I don't know what's really causing all this heating because my laptop is basically idle.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

[SOLVED] Chromium crashes everytime I choose a file in the file dialog

Title says all. And it doesn't even need to be a file dialog from Chromium itself. If I trigger a file dialog elsewhere, Chromium also crashes. I only have a slightest idea that it has something to do with GTK+ (or with oxygen-gtk), but that's all I've got.
Any ideas?
Last edited by R_Rios (2012-12-17 04:06:36)

So, I just ran the gtk-kde4 kcm module and the theme field was empty for some reason. Just selecting a theme (oxygen-gtk, if that matters) seems to have solved my issue.

[SOLVED] chromium-pepper-flash fails to install

I use chromium-pepper-flash and today there was an update, but the install script has errors.
Sorry for the locale, but summarized it said cat and sed didn't find a file.
Probably the chromium-pepper-flash.install cannot find the $_default as it says
[ -f etc/chromium-browser/default ] && _default='etc/chromium-browser/default'
[ -f etc/chromium-dev/default ] && _default='etc/chromium-dev/default'
[ -f etc/chromium/default ] && _default='etc/chromium/default'
Anyways the installation was successful.

Solved, must edit the path which is missing the first / like this
[ -f etc/chromium-browser/default ] && _default='/etc/chromium-browser/default'

[ -f etc/chromium-dev/default ] && _default='/etc/chromium-dev/default'
^
[ -f etc/chromium/default ] && _default='/etc/chromium/default'

I tried, but this should be labeled as a joke, that gives basically very little difference, they should just look at how Firefox implemented it for a good reference

[SOLVED] Chromium won't start

I'm not sure why but chromium does no longer want to start for me.
When I type it in the terminal I get this error message
[1856:1856:142255483:ERROR:process_singleton_linux.cc(940)] Failed to create socket directory.
[1856:1856:142255592:ERROR:chrome_browser_main.cc(1507)] Failed to create a ProcessSingleton for your profile directory. This means that running multiple instances would start multiple browser processes rather than opening a new window in the existing process. Aborting now to avoid profile corruption.
According to sources online the problem is caused becaused the /tmp directory is fulll.
When I run df -h my results are

Now I dont know if it has to do with the

And when I go to my root directory and type in ls the /tmp directory is highlighted in green.
In my tmp there is nothing there except an empty cron folder.
Before hand I was trying to get CUPS working.
And had disabled usblp.
But I took I no longer blacklisted it, and removed CUPS from my DAEMON.
When I rebooted I noticed usblp did not load on startup.
So i modprobe usblp, but I still get same problem.
Could that be my problem?
How to I get it to load usblp from start up?

Find out what is taking up the space. No, you can't just delete everything :-)
Maybe you have just too many packages installed and you should be using a bigger / partition.

[Solved (partially)] 100% CPU for Reader

Here is a detailed description why Reader ends up using 100% CPU (output taken from strace, unimportant lines removed):
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 12
connect(12, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.150.8.100")}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress)
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLOUT}], 2, 0) = 0 (Timeout)
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLOUT}], 2, 15) = 0 (Timeout)
until here, everything is fine. Reader polls for events on the socket descriptors with a timeout of 15ms.
I our case, Reader is running on a Kiosk system, so connection to most hosts are forbidden, including pmupsw.adobe.com ("192.150.8.100"). So after some time the connection fails.
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLOUT}], 2, 13) = 1 ([{fd=12, revents=POLLERR|POLLHUP}])
Unfortunately, now the poll() returns immediately. Reader does not handle the POLLERR, so it ends up polling the socket in a tight loop.

Running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on HP6715 notebook. I had the 100% cpu utilization issue. I changed the adobe proxy setting from direct connect to manual. I entered the proxy settings at my company. This fixed the issue. It would be nice if adobe could use the system proxy settings.
This issue was documented here

[SOLVED] Chromium with Gnome Keyring as password store?

Hi there.
I'm trying to use gnome keyring as default password store for google chromium. I read all over the web about starting chromium using options '--password-store=detect' (to detect gnome evnironment) or even '--password-store=gnome' (force gnome). None of these options work for me, as I get the same result: chromium will store password in its own keyring.
$ pacman -Q chromium gnome-keyring
chromium 18.0.1025.162-1
gnome-keyring 3.2.2-3
Any idea how I can make it work as planned?
Thanks in advance!

chromium use by default libgnome-keyring
I don't think so, that's a makedepends; it means it's needed for building the package, not for using it.
On my system (not running any desktop environment), I need to run chromium with --password-store=gnome for it to use the gnome keyring.

[SOLVED] Chromium won't redirect public wifi signup page, Firefox does

Not sure if this belongs in the Apps forum or this one, let me know if this doesn't belong here.
On my laptop, I connect to various Wifi networks at hotels, client networks, etc. Most of those Wifi networks have an "accept" or "enter your room #" type page where you must enter some information before the "real" connection is established.
The problem is that Chromium just sits and never connects to this intermediate page, whereas Firefox does. Once I have entered the information on the Firefox side, Chromium works fine. Is this a DNS problem, a Chromium issue or something else? The problem is that there is never any errors displayed on the Chromium side, it just sits indefinitely and never connects.
I don't think this should make a difference, but I use netctl for network management.

No, not using https everywhere. I do have my Chromium "signed in" so I can sync my bookmarks between phone and browser, so maybe it's hanging on trying to sign in the browser. I haven't tried yet to launch "chromium --incognito", which should prevent any type of sign-in. I'll post back with results.
Edit: sure enough, running chromium --incognito works.

[Solved] Chromium always in full screen mode

Does it happen to anyone else? Since yesterday, chromium starts in full screen mode, and, no matter what you do, press f11 or whatever, it does not go back to normal mode... pretty annoying....
I have been looking for info and some people say its because of dual monitor setup: I have dual monitor setup...
Do you know how to fix this?

Sorry, I should have asked what version of Chromium you are using also. Is it 14.0.835.202?
