[SOLVED] Compiz performance & Gnome stability problem

Hello,
I just purchased a new computer, core i5 2400 with integrated graphic. After reinstall arch & stuffs as usual, I found out that Compiz is very slow (I think it's slower than my atom netbook) and Gnome randomly crash to GDM. I did google & search the forum, tried every solutions I found with no luck. Here is my situation.
1. Gnome is fast with metacity. It will crash to GDM if I try to change the screen solution with System->Preferences->Monitors.
2. Compiz is slow. I can't play 1080p video from youtube smoothly. I also experience random crash & return to GDM.
3. With compiz, moving the windows of System->Preferences->Monitors always crash Gnome to GDM instantly.
4. The current config is from arch's wiki.
5. I also tried many solutions from google, none of them work.
6. I now fallback to metacity and looking for a solution.
any idea?? please advise.
Tony

Hello,
This is the driver issue. Sandy bridge requires xf86-video-intel 2.14 which is being in testing repos. All other related software such as Mesa, libdrm that supports this CPU is still in testing too. We will also get better support for this new platform in kernel 2.6.37 (yes, in testing too). For one who don't want to wait. Add testing repos to your pacman & update your system.
I'll close this thread and Have a good day.

Performance and Stability Problem with PE9

I just upgraded my computer to a Core i5 with 8G of memory and everything is running much faster. But my NEW PE9 just run very slow. Some of the simple tasks take 10-30 second to complete. Even Windows 7 will often come out to ask if I want to wait for PE9 to wake up or kill the process. When I want to change the size of a video clip, it just doesn't work at all due to performance. It will take PE9 20-30 seconds to resize the video clip. Without some realtime feedback of the size, it is impossible to do the resizing and this is a very fundamental operation. PE9 often crash or seize up as well, I didn't have any of these problem with PE3.0. I upgraded to PE9 simply because my PE3.0 for WIndows XP is not comletely compatible with Windows 7 (some of the text displace does not show up).
Do anyone else have issue with performance and stability?

[SOLVED] Compiz crashes Gnome after pacman update

Hardware: Nvidia NVS 3100M, latest drivers 260.19.36
Software: latest pacman -Suy
On startup, right after the login, X (or Gnome?) crashes and I see the login screen again.
After I disable compiz, I am able to use Gnome desktop.
When I start compiz via fusion-icon, it crashes everything again.
Has anyone seen this?
Any clues?
==== Update =====
I solved this by re-installing the same nvidia driver I had. During install it detected that the original installation "has been altered".

That's a scary thought: what if I'm the only one with this problem... :-)
Let me answer your questions guys (and thank you for replying).
First of all, I don't have anything monitor-related in my xorg.conf.d directory. Here is what I have there:
t510 ~: ll /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
total 20K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.1K Aug 24 06:45 10-evdev.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 377 Jun 21 2010 10-quirks.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 443 Nov 13 10:36 10-synaptics.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 267 Nov 19 03:48 10-synaptics.conf.pacnew
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 107 Sep 2 19:39 20-nouveau.conf
Second, I do pacman updates maybe once a month. So I had 600+ MB of downloads and something like a hundred packages, including xorg itself. However, I do know that the kernel and nvidia's proprietary driver are both latest and haven't changed.
If I delete xorg.conf, arch will try to look for noveau open-source driver and will fail because I do not have it installed: it doesn't manage power well to be used on a laptop.
Looking into Xorg.log I see this:
[ 102.032] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
[ 102.032] (EE) NVIDIA(0): log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
[ 102.032] (EE) NVIDIA(0): server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module. If
[ 102.032] (EE) NVIDIA(0): you continue to encounter problems, Please try
[ 102.032] (EE) NVIDIA(0): reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.
[ 102.582] (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU NVS 3100M (GT218) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)
I will try to reinstall the same nvidia driver I have to see what happens.

[SOLVED] Compiz Performance with ATI x700

So this is my story:
I have an Acer Aspire Laptop with a ATI x700 Mobility graphics card. A couple of days ago I installed Arch for the first time. I installed the "xf86-video-ati" package and compiz-fusion and it worked great. Then I managed to break my system to unusability and decided to reinstall. In the meantime there was an update for xf86-video-ati (from 6.8.0-4 to 6.9.0-5) and now I have some quite annoying performance issues with compiz: maximizing/unmaximizing as well as unminimizing a window (so I assume everytime it has to load a new window into the memory) takes like 2 seconds (while working perfectly smoothly before).
I tryed the options suggested at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI … nce_tuning but without success. Since I use exactly the same xorg configuration as before I can only speculate that it has to do something with the package update (maybe some option that was enabled by default before now has to be manually set?). I also tried the catalyst drivers but performance was pretty much the same.
Anyways, here are the relevant parts (so I think) of my xorg.conf file
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "drm"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "** ATI (generic) [ati]"
Driver "ati"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,AUTO"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Group "video"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Any ideas what I could do to bring back compiz at the speed that my graphics card already proved to be capable of are very welcome

I think I just experienced the same problem with my x800gto. It was very slow to toggle between vertical/horizontal/full maximizations. I tried changing the default acceleration method from XAA to EXA. This seems to have solved the problem, and now my wobbly windows change size with butter smoothness. The changes I made were to add
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
under the device setting. There reason you need no such option for XAA is because, to my undestanding, XAA is the default. Making this change means you should also comment out
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true" #needed for aiglx
since it is now irrelevant.
Since you also use an ATI card, I will suggest configuration options that work well for me:
Option "AGPMode" "4"
Option "GARTSize" "64"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "True"
Option "ColorTiling" "True"
Good luck. Hope this does the trick for you.

[SOLVED] Can't start compiz with gnome

When I set up gnome initially, I used the following wiki guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … k_Users.29
I had some issues after upgrading to gnome 3.8 that have now since been solved. I wen't through quite a bit trying to fix it and now somehow compiz isn't starting with my gnome/compiz session. It starts just fine if I run
$ compiz ccp --replace
after logging into the session. I think I'm simply not understanding how this session that I've installed works (or .session files in general).
here is my /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-compiz.session:
[GNOME Session]
Name=GNOME Compiz
RequiredComponents=compiz;cairo-dock;gnome-settings-daemon;
RequiredProviders=notifications;
DefaultProvider-windowmanager=compiz
DefaultProvider-notifications=notification-daemon
I tried removing cairo-dock from the above file just to make sure that this is the file actually being used and it did start up without the dock as I guessed. Obviously this file is being used. Why won't compiz start as well? I also tried adding gnome-panel to the file and gnome-panel did not start. Is this because it needs a .desktop file as well? I assume so.
Here is my /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-compiz.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=GNOME/Compiz
Comment=This session logs you into the GNOME desktop environment with Compiz and Cairo-Dock
Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-session --session=gnome-compiz
Icon=compiz
Type=XSession
and here is my /usr/share/applications/compiz.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8

Exec=bash -c 'compiz --replace --sm-client-id $DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID --keep-desktop-hints ccp decoration'

X-GNOME-WMName=compiz
# back compat only
X-GnomeWMSettingsLibrary=compiz
Last edited by instantaphex (2013-05-04 20:59:44)

So I started to think that maybe compiz was actually starting up but the ccp argument wasn't taking. I ran
$ pgrep -l compiz
and got no output. So compiz really isn't starting at all. What gives?

Compiz with Gnome?

I don't have any WM installed as screenfetch says (I find it weird because I have shadows, but whatever). I want to install Compiz, but Gnome crashes when I try compiz --replace in both terminal or Alt+F2. screenfetch also displays Clearlooks as my GTK theme when I really have Adwaita. I had Clearlooks when I was on Xfce, maybe it's just making a holy mess. How to install Compiz?
Thanks for your attention, already solved 1/2 of my problems with this forum!

I used compiz with Fedora 15 Gnome (3) successfully. After installing compiz, there was an option at login to run gnome classic with compiz or gnome 3. Haven't tried running compiz with Fedora 16 Gnome, but it can work. The conflict I believe is between the gnome 3 shell and compiz. The previous poster was correct in saying the default window manager for gnome 3 is clutter/mutter.
I believe with Arch gnome you would want to start gnome in fallback mode to use compiz.

Performance with repaint problem

Hi,
I have a performance and repaint problem.
My problem is than I have a layer pane with about 500 JScrollPane, each JScrollPane has a JLabel, and each JLabel has an Icon. I can have to maintain this hierarchy.
I have a thread that makes the icon change from a color state to a grey state; in fact it makes them all blink.
My problem is that is takes 50% of the CPU when the blink thread is running. As well, they do not all blink at the same time. The thread changes the icon color and calls a repaint. They seem to repaint independently.
What I would like is to collapse the paint calls into one without having to call repaint on the whole JFrame which does solve my problem but it is a hack.
Swing should collapse all the repaints into one call to the parent but I think because of the JScrollPanes it is not. Can anyone shed any light into why it does not paint all in one call instead of 500 repaint calls.
Thanks,
Pat

Well, I'd change the design first, but if you must play around with paint() then you can try using this setIgnoreRepaint(true) in the Component class.
You could do the grouping yourself and then when you really want things repainted, flag all your components again with setIgnoreRepaint(false), and then call revlaidate() to the parent, and it should repaint everything at once. That is what's I'd try, anyway.

Xorg using 30% cpu when idle,slow performance and video problems

I'm having a problem with Xorg, I don't know what it is but I guess it has something to do with configuration problems because in Ubuntu eerything works out of the box.
My problems are these:
1. Xorg is using arround 30% cpu when the computer is idle and very simple animations in kde like minimize a window are performed very poorly.
2. Compiz' performance is very poor and chopy
3. h264 videos are not wachable. it feels like watching 3fps videos.
as i mentioned above, i don't have any of these problems with ubuntu.

I am new at this and I don't want to damage my PC.
I've been reading about and I think my PC may be unstable and I hear that I shouldn't update because of that.
I occationally have hardware failure crashes (blue screen) and I was hoping that this new processor could change all of that (I have narrowed down the source of the crashes to my hard drive, RAM(maybe) or processor).
It might be the case that my BIOS is already 1.2 and I can skip all of this but I don't know how to check my current version.

Hi Henry, thanks for responding.
I have changed my sig, hope its alright.
I will give some info on my stability problem. I'm a novice when it comes to pc hardware so sorry if I come off a bit dense.
For a while now I have had the same anoying problem with my PC. HD videos and video games run really slow, it's not that I am unable to play them it's just that my PC struggles and they stutter, even though I have been told that my PC should be able to handle them no problem. And my PC keeps crashing sometimes with and sometimes without a blue screen hardware failure.
Over the last couple years I have been upgrading my PC, I added 3gig of ram, then I got an nVidia 8500, then PSU, motherboard, added another internal hdd but the same problem pursists. The only components I haven't upgraded are my CPU and my original hard drive. Everytime I upgrade, my PC runs a little bit faster, but still not as it should be.
I recently got Win7 from my university and I tried to install it on a partition but everytime I try I get a blue screen (hardware failure)
The weird thing is half the time when my PC crashes, it will crash again but if I'm lucky, if I can restart my PC after I get a bue screen, then my PC will run perfectly fine, HD vidoes work perfectly and so do my games. Usually to get my PC into this state, I need to keep restarting my PC just waiting for it to crash so my PC works properly.
I'm guessing that it's either, my CPU, hard drive or ram(maybe) causing the problem. I have tested each stick of ram individually but it didn't make a difference in my performance so I assume they are both fine (or it's both of them).
right now I'm trying to upgrade my CPU to the
intel Core 2 Quad
Freq. 2.50GHz
FSB 1333MHz
L2 Cache 4MB
Core 45nm
Socket LGA 775
PCG 05A
Q8300
But I need to update my BIOS to 1.2 (currently I am 1.1), which I am reluctant to do because I'm worried that my PC will crash.
Thanks
Russ

Various 4G / 5G stability problems and now my iPod is USB 1.1 only!

Hi,
I bought a brand new iPod a week or two ago and it worked fine for one sync. Then the battery was running low (because I'd been using it!) so I plugged it in and iTunes synced automatically and the battery charged. after the sync I hit "eject" in iTunes so that the battery would just charge.
I returned to find that the iPod was still mounted! Very strange. I ejected again..... and it seems that what was happening was when the iPod was ejected it simply rebooted and when it came back up was mounted automatically again!
I ejected and unplugged the iPod and it was no longer stable - I would get to the menu and almost to play a song and it would reset. It seemed like my speed was the limiting factor (i.e. the iPod would only stay up for n seconds), rather than it crashing because I tried a particular function.
I saw this unstable behaviour with my old iPod (4G, firewire on this same machine) too where I had to reflash it to get it working again reliably.
So, I reflash the (new) device with the iPod Updater software downloaded for me by Software Update. It resets, and all seems well, with the rather catastrophic exception that now the iPod is only recognised as a USB 1.1 device according to System Profiler! The transfer speed is very very slow.
This is really a bit of a showstopper for my user experience. I have tried:
- Resetting my computer
- Changing the cable (I have two USB2.0 cables and 1 USB2.0/Firewire cable which I have tried all of)
- Changing USB ports (including taking ALL my USB devices away and plugging the iPod directly into the back of the desktop machine)
- Reflashing the iPod again
I have NOT tried:
- re-downloading the iPod Updater from Apple and using that (I'm downloading it now)
So.... the questions are:
- Has the firmware updater somehow made my iPod appear to be a USB1.1 device?
- Or is this a hardware fault and I need to return the iPod to be fixed?
- Is this stability problem a commonly observed one?
- If so what can I do to avoid it?
Thanks in advance,
Neil.

Neo2 platinum Encountering Stability Problems /w dual channel memory

Hello,
Recently I built my first computer ever, see bottom. After getting windows installed I then had problems with installing other programs and general stability issues. I tried reinstalling windows and after the reinstall I got the same problems.
Something to do with the instability is when I start it up, and go into BIOS, it states my Athlon 64 3500+ as running at 2211, a half percent overclock. Also, even though I have the FSB set as 200mhz, when I go into CoreCenter on windows it states the FSB as being set 201mhz. In the nVidia system utility, it states my memory as running at 402mhz, and I had to crank that down to 400mhz to get stability, it allowed my to install programs without error, but there were still stability problems like crashes(blue screen, the computer just plain restarting without notice). I took out one of my memory cards, both of them work alone though, I've ran memory test utilities. That had a good effect and the computer runs fairly stable, but I still have problems, and I want to be able to take advantage of dual channel. I'm running my memory on auto and it's using the times of 2-3-3-6-2T.
Another problem I'm experiencing is the AC97 audio not being detected and loaded by windows, it will say I have no audio device, and the speaker will not show up in the notification area in the bottom right-hand corner. This happens inconsistantly.
-Thank You

hi bknoll,
welcome to the forum.
1) i wouldn't worry overmuch at the 201 issue.
2) Quote
I've ran memory test utilities. That had a good effect and the computer runs fairly stable, but I still have problems
which test utilities did you use, Don't quiet understand Quote
had a good effect and the computer runs fairly stable
3) It may be worth checking the Mushkin site or any documentation you have to verify that the auto settings agree with the quoted settings for the modules. It's not unkown for errors to occur when the memory controller on the CPU to misinterpret the SPD chip setting on your sticks - this is where the auto settings come from. Some memory like certain corsair modules need to run at different settings on AMD64, thus auto timings must be overidden,
4) Have you installed the Realtek drivers from the CD, & enabled onboard sound in Bios. When these are done normally there's the MSI Sound Effect manager in control panel. you just need to set your speaker config in the Windows Sounds & Audio Devices.
5) Usual question What power supply are you using as been underpowered on the 12v rail in particular can be the cause of crashes,

[SOLVED]Xorg.conf, mouse config problem

The Rapoo M765 mouse can not work properly under normal mouse configuration.
The mouse goes beyond controll when config as below:
hacksign@XSign [14:13:13] : ~
>> cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf
#Section "InputClass"
# Identifier "Mouse2"
# MatchProduct "RAPOO RAPOO 2.4G Remote Mouse"

# Driver "mouse"
# Option "Protocol" "auto"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
# Option "Buttons" "7"
# Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
#EndSection
When there is no any configuration, the mouse can work abnormally. Movement and right/left click work fine, but I can not use scroll wheel,and the "go forward"&"go backward" mouse key can not work too.
(I know Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" is the configuration of scroll wheel emulation.)
The real problem is 'mouse beyond controll',the cursor goes crazyly on screen ....
I guess it is something wrong of ButtonMapping option. But when I tried to get button number from command xev,when scroll wheel scrolles, I get something below(the scroll wheel movement is identified as a key event~):

Thanks for reply !
change Driver 'mouse' to Driver 'evdev',solved cursor goes beyond controll problem.
but I still can not use scroll button and 'go forward'&'go backward' button.
(BTW:evdev_drv.so is from local/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint, and local/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint package is from AUR)
I think, maybe something wrong with my button number mapping, but I still can not get scroll button number with 'xev' command....
below is my configuration:

Try to remove xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard (same as before, this is deprecated and handled by evdev) and remove also a "joystick" driver if you have it (I have had problem with it conflicting with the evdev driver).

Hi,
This may be beacuse of the Internal Table you are passing to the Subroutine.

How to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Database 11gR1. The Database Control Console https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em works correctly. I can create a Database and a table successfully.
My OS is Linux and connects to internet successfully.
In order to run SQL statements. we need to use Oracle SQL Developer. I connect Oracle SQL Developer in the following way:
Connection Name: DB1 (this is my database name as well)
Username: SYS (this is the user name I used to login to the Console)
Password: SYS (this the password used to login to the Console)
Connection Type: Basic
Host Name: localhost
Port: 1158
SID: DB1 (this is created during installing the Database)
But the error message comes up: "Status: Failure - IO exception Connection Reset."
Can any folk tell me how to solve Oracle SQL Developer connection problem ?

password: enter_your_correct_password given at the time of oracle installation
role: select sysdba if you would connect as sysdba else select normal for users other than sys
hostname: enter your oracle server hostname or ip address eg:- 192.168.11.12
to find the hostname open terminal/command prompt in oracle installed machine
type ---> hostname
type ---->ping hostname
you can find the ipaddress of the server
port number: 1521 (default) ----> i guess , else check the port number in the tnsnames.ora file under your ORACLE_HOME/network/admin folder
SID: DB1
try it
Good Luck

Performance and stability in 10.4.7

I've had numerous performance and stability issues since the 10.4.7 update. Most noticeable are:
1) It often take a long time to focus on windows. When I click on, say, a Terminal window, the window raises immediately but is not active for about 1-2 seconds. (The close/minimize/maximize lights on the titlebar remain gray and the window is inactive.) During this time, the Terminal process is takes 50-90% of the CPU, and then the SystemUIServer process hogs the CPU for the following 1-2 seconds. This behavior is not exclusive to the Terminal process; it happens to other windows too.
2) When the system has been on screensave for a long time (say, >1 day), it becomes unresponsive to keyboard and mouse input and won't wake up. I usually have to power down the computer and reboot.
Has anyone else noticed this with the current OS? Could it be my fault somehow? If not, is it likely to be fixed in 10.4.8?

This is unusual. My 10.4.7 is pretty instantaneous. It could be a sign that you are using something in the background that eats up the signal for graphics redraw. What third party software do you have installed? What peripherals do you have installed? Have you installed any Dashboard Widgets.
2) When the system has been on screensave for a long time (say, >1 day), it becomes unresponsive to keyboard and mouse input and won't wake up. I usually have to power down the computer and reboot.
Screen Saver or Energy Saver? Big difference here. Energy Saver could create such a situation especially with third party USB devices that are unfamiliar with Mac OS X's Energy Saver methods and send back signals expecting to receive back power and not getting it just as the machine wakes from sleep. If it is a Screen Saver, which Screen Saver? Have you tried to see if this happens without any pictures in your Pictures folder?
Is your data backed up? Diagnosing issues which result from force shutting down may require hard drive repair utilities. And the same issues that come from that can have caused the freezing and slowdown you are experiencing, as well as show up on a hard drive that is dying. So it is critical your data is backed up before we diagnose further. See my FAQ on backing up:
