[SOLVED] Long prompt delay after issuing a command

I use VirtualBox to run archlinux.
When I issue a command, like ls in a directory with many files, the long outcome on the screen ends relatively fast (2-5 sec) but the command prompt is only available after 20-30 sec. In the meantime, processor is still in heavily use (95-100%). As soon as the prompt becomes again available the processor use drops to normal level.
Does it have to do with virtualbox or ...?
Thanks

I run Arch Linux in Virtualbox and yes its does take up quite a bit of system resouces
Depends on your system specs, amount of ram given over to VM etc...
But to answer your question yes it does have a lot to do with Virtualbox.
Arch would of course run very very fast in a real sytem enviroment
Welcome to Arch :-)

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.

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.

CS3 - delays after 'undo' command

A quick search suggest that others are experiencing this but
I couldn't find anything in adobe support about the issue:
Basically I am getting several seconds of delay after every
undo command. Someone has suggested it is connected to the
size of the .fla and appears to be mainly experienced by animators
working with files 20-30MB but so far my own .fla is only about
5MB.
It doesn't happen on new files but is a substantial enough
disruption to my workflow on this larger file for me to consider
reverting to MX. I have entertained the possibility it is to do
with how some of my imported illustrator files are being recreated
in flash (occasionally dozens of individual paths to render what
should basically be simple gradients) but have not yet had the time
to try and remove library elements one by one to see if the problem
goes away.
I dont think this is system specific as I have mainly been
reading posts of PC users (with powerful set ups) and I personally
am on an Intel based MacBookPro with a respectable spec.
<b>Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions as to what
might be going on / how I can get an instantaneous undo
back!?</b>

Posting my own solution to this on account of new
information:
Opening the file without the library panel appeared to solve
the problem (until I needed a symbol at which point it came back
and required me to close and open the file again without the
library panel - hardly an effective solution)
<b>However</b> changing the undo’ settings
in preferences>general from ‘document-level’ to
‘object-level’ clears the delay up completely.

Long Unresponsive Delay with Spinning Color Wheel After Compressor Launches

I'm running FCS3 with Compressor 3.5.
After I launch Compressor, there is a 1-2 minute delay before it will respond to my mouse clicks. The Choose a template window will finally appear after the long delay and then Compressor is responsive to user input.
The reason why this is happening is because I have six (6), yes 6, external optical DVD and Blu-ray burner drives connected to my Mac Pro through a combination of FireWire and USB. When I turn them all off, the delay and unresponsiveness in Compressor is significantly shorter (about 6 seconds). Compressor tries to scan for all your optical drives upon program startup, and this can take a long time if you have many optical drives connected. This issue does not exist in Compressor 3.
This is just a tip for anyone else out there who may have several optical drives connected to your Mac. If you only have one or two optical drives, then you may only see a 6 second delay with the spinning color wheel after Compressor starts up, which is bearable.

Again, this is just a tip. If you want to avoid long delays after starting up Compressor, then disconnect or turn off any external optical burning drives you may have connected.

The input line is too long. The syntax of the command is incorrect.

I am a prentice on J2EE by using the Tutorial 1.4.
I keep getting this error message: "The input line is too long. The syntax of the command is incorrect." from the windows's terminal no matter what arguments I issued for the command asant right after I successfully executed command "asant build" under the directory of both <Install>\j2eetutorial14\examples\web\bookstore and bookstore1 when I practice the topic of The Example Servlets on Chapter 11: Java Servlet Technology.
The command and the arguments are:
asant create-db_common
asant create-bookstore-war
asant package-bookstore
asant deploy-war
All of them have the same outcome:
"The input line is too long.
The syntax of the command is incorrect."
I have tried to do the research on the google and ased some Java developer friends and school teachers; unfortunately, none of them can solve this problem.
The OS I am using is win2k professional. The commands were issued on DOS terminal. I have successfully built application server, and pointbase, deploy tool. I have utilize this tools and environment to run all the examples very well on Chapter 8: Building Web Services with JAX-RPC.
Even worse, after failing on running the Servlets Examples, I got the same error message when I go back to the Chapter 8's Examples and run the command "asant build" on the directory <install>\j2eetutorial14\examples\jaxrpc\staticstub.
The Server and PointBase were activated when I issued those commands.
Can someone or the Tutorial's authors kindly help? Thank you very much!

Hi eric.jendrock,
Appreciate your help; unfortunately, in my asant.bat script I cannot find the line you indicated even though I found the solution addressed in the FAQ as you instructed, too. The only ines I found are:
:runAnt
"%_JAVACMD%" %ANT_OPTS% -Dcom.sun.aas.installRoot="%AS_INSTALL%" -Djava.library.path="%AS_INSTALL%\bin;%AS_ICU_LIB%" -classpath "%AS_INSTALL%/lib/appserv-se.jar";"%AS_INSTALL%/lib/admin-cli.jar";"%AS_INSTALL%/lib/appserv-admin.jar";"%AS_INSTALL%/lib/j2ee.jar";"%AS_INSTALL%/lib/appserv-ext.jar";"%AS_INSTALL%/lib/appserv-rt.jar";"%AS_INSTALL%/lib/commons-launcher.jar";"%AS_INSTALL%/lib/install/applications/jmsra/imqjmsra.jar";"%LOCALCLASSPATH%" "-Dant.home=%ANT_HOME%" org.apache.tools.ant.Main %ANT_ARGS% %ANT_CMD_LINE_ARGS%
goto end
:runAntWithJikes

goto end
I however did tried to remove those lines with -Dcom and -Djava but kept the variables of arg0s, "%_JAVACMD%" %ANT_OPTS%. Here is the result I got:
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
(to execute a class)
or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]
(to execute a jar file)
where options include:
-client to select the "client" VM
-server to select the "server" VM
Looks funnier. Do you haver any clue or better solutions? Thanks!

I recently got my long desired MAC, after my laptop crashed. Is there anyway to get all of the music that I have already invested in, in iTunes, on my new Mac? I thought that it had been saved to an external hard drive, but there were only photographs.

I recently got my long desired MAC, after a laptop died over a year ago. Isn't there someway to get all of the music and movies that I've already invested in, off of iTunes? Don't they have a record of my purchases, that could be downloaded to this new computer? I thought I had it on an external hard drive, after a friend tried to save my itunes and photographs, but there are only photographs on the hard drive..... Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!

IPhone 5s contacts are no longer synching with Mercedes E class command system. It did 3 days ago but no longer synchs my contacts?

My iPhone 5s contacts are no longer synching with Mercedes E class command system. It did 3 days ago but now it longer synchs my contacts - how do I get my contacts downloaded to the command system of my car?

status update -- I tried a lot of other things but finally solved the problem after I removed all the groups from mac address book. (thank-you to my son Ben)
FYI -- along the way I tried doing the reset sync history, which deleted all contacts from the iphone. I initially thought that was a good thing, until I discovered that nothing I tried after that would put the contacts back on the iphone. Next I restored factory settings on the iphone and set up as a new user, but that didn't work either. Or maybe it did; maybe deleting the groups wouldn't have solved the problem if I hadn't deleted all contacts and reset the iphone first.

Extremely long print delay - Mac

I am experiencing very long print delays or, in one case so far, an error message.
I downloaded Adobe Reader for Macintosh 11.0.02. I have a Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.2. The Mac Mini has USB 3.0. My printer is a Brother MFC-8440 local printer, USB 2.0. The printer driver has been updated and is current. The Mac and Brother printer are connected via USB.
I am able to print the PDF files as images but not as documents. Most of the PDF files I have tried to print as documents have done so but they take FOREVER to print. For example, a 28 page PDF file might take the better part of an hour to print (that may be an exaggeration but not by much).
But on one PDF file that I tried to print I got some weird error message on the document that printed. It says,
ERROR NAME;
         ioerror
COMMAND;
        flushfile
OPERAND STACK;
        --filetype--
        --arraytype--
Strangely enough, I can see the document on-screen just fine. But the only thing that printed on the sheet was that error message.
I am able to print documents from other applications such as Word without any issue. So this seems to be isolated to printing PDF's.
I previously used Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows on my old PC (XP Pro, SP3, same printer) until I recently switched to the Mac. I never had any issues with printing PDF's in a fairly quick manner with the PC.
I am only using Adobe Reader now.
My guess is that with the Mac there is probably some sort of bug in the processing software with the Brother printer. The Brother printer has an LED that flashes as the data is being downloaded.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Does this mean the "data" goes from MBP wirelessly to AE then "upstream" to the Modem/router then back to AE then USB to printer?
No, the data should travel from the MBP wirelessly to the AEBS, and then, to the printer via the USB port on the AEBS. If; however, a network client is wired to the D-Link, then data would travel from the client to the D-Link, and then, by wire to the AEBS before it goes out the USB link to the printer.

Windows 7 -Delay after right click and installation query

Hi,
I have freshly clean installed Windows 7 home premium x64 in my HP laptop which was previously running the x86 version of the same factory installed OS.I have performed a usb install.Now,I have two queries-
1.During the installation,when the machine rebooted,to complete the installation process,it gave the option of 'Continue with win 7-EMS ENABLED'-and I went ahead with it and completed the process.I want to know whether this EMS thing is normal or not?
2.There is a slight delay after the right click in the desktop-how can it be resolved?
Looking forward for your valuable opinions regarding this

Hi,
First please know that EMS allows users to control particular components of a server remotely, even when the server is not connected to the network or to other standard remote-administration tools. In Windows Vista and later, use BCDEdit /emssettings command
and its parameters to establish EMS settings for all boot entries. Then, use the BCDEdit /ems command to enable EMS for a particular boot entry.
It's ok to get EMS enabled.
For your second question, it seems a performance issue.
Please first let me know except the system default context on the right click menu, if there is any 3rd part context menu or extension. if so, please use shellexview to remove them:
1. Download ShellExView v1.41 from the following link
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.zip
Please Note: The third-party product discussed here is manufactured by a company that is independent of Microsoft. We make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
2. Extract "shexview.zip" file and open shexview.exe. It will scan the registry for all the shell extensions.
3. Select all the non-Microsoft extensions in pink by press "Ctrl" in the keyboard.
4. Click the "Disable Selected Items" on the toolbar and click Yes.
5. Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
If there is no such context menu, please run performance troubleshooting under Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories.
Also, help to test the issue in Clean boot mode.
How to perform a clean boot
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If the issue doesn’t appear, you can determine which one can be the cause by using dichotomy in MSconfig. Checking on half of Non-Microsoft service and restart, determining which half of the services cause the issue and repeating to check half of the problematic
half services.
If the issue still persists, please check if there is any related error or warning in event logs, post back for our further research.

How to get the previous state of my data after issuing coomit method

How to get the previous state of some date after issuing commit method in entity bean (It should not use any offline storage )

>
Is there any way to get the state apart from using
offline storage ?As I said the caller keeps a copy in memory.
Naturally if it is no longer in memory then that is a problem.
>
and also what do you mean by auditlog?
You keep track of every change to the database by keeping the old data. There are three ways:
1. Each table has a version number/delete flag for each record. A record is never updated nor deleted. Instead a new record is created with a new version number and with the new data.
2. Each table has a duplicate table which has all of the same columns. When the first table is modified the old data is moved to the duplicate table.
3. A single table is used which has columns for 'table', 'field', 'data' and 'activity' (update, delete). When a change is made in any table then this table is updated. This is generally of limited useability due to the difficulty in recovering the data.
All of the above can have a user id, timestamp, and/or additional information which is relevant to the data being changed.
Note that ALL of this is persisted storage.
I am not sure what this really has to do with "offline storage" unless you are using that term to refer to backed up data which is not readily available.

Create .txt empty file After Message Processing Command Line Linux command

Hi All,
An empty .txt file has to be created in FTP location(FTP loc c:\xyz\Customer20082910.txt) only after the .dat file has been created(FTP loc c:\xyz\Customer20082910.dat)
Note:.dat has the actual data and .txt is an empty file and is created only after .dat is created
I know that .txt empty file can be created using the After Message Processing Command Line...
But confused which command to be given such that it will be created in the FTP location(c:\xyz\Customer20082910.txt)
Can any one please give the Linux command for it...
Regards,
Sridhar

Hi Aamir,
Thanks for the suggestion, I will ask my client to create a shell script at FTP server...
And one more question,
This is reverse side , now the .dat file is to be picked only if .txt exists at the FTP server (scenario File > XI>SAP) (earlier was SAP>XI>File)..
So please can you suggest for this also...
How can i check for the .txt and pick corresponding .dat file...
i had posted question long back
Need to pick .TXT file only if .CTL file is available
Regards,
Sridhar

same issue if:

- Adding Option "DRI" "False"
Digged a bit:
- same modules errors but appears to be a Gnome bug (X starts): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1441716
- same modules errors but X starts up without problems http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … 175511372/
makes me doubt if this issue is related to the modules not found. Which is the single indication I found so far x-/
Any light on where can the issue comes from? hardware is pretty much standard even if getting a bit old. Never had Xorg related issue so far on this pancake.
