"xfile add" gets progressively slower on Linux system

Hey all,
I have a TCL script which uses "xfile add" to add about 1800 files to a project. On a Ubuntu 10.04 deployment, I get almost no problems. But on Red Hat 6.3, as well as Ubuntu 12.04, each call to "xfile add" gets a little slower, until it takes about 10 seconds to add a file. Making a single call to "xfile add" with a big list doesn't appear to help.
Has anyone else seen this behavior before? Is there a work-around for it?
Thanks

I had the same issue and managed to work around it by first adding the sources to a list and next adding the list to the project:
set xfile_list []
lappend xfile_list "File1.vhd"
lappend xfile_list "File2.vhd"
lappend xfile_list "FileN.vhd"
xfile add $xfile_list
This reduced my ISE project creation time from 2h15min to below 4 minutes!
Best regards,
Bart

SCCM 2012 PowerShell script gets progressively slower with each machine added to a collection

Firstly, I hope this question firs in this forum.
I have a PowerShell script that I created the imports a CSV file and adds the machine names to a collection as a direct membership. There are 5000 machines total in the list. When the script first starts, the average per machine is just a few tenths of a
second. Once it reaches about 10% the average is up to almost 4 seconds and that time is getting larger with each machine. I tried using the CMDLets for SCCM but they were even slower than the WMI seemed to be.
What is the reason for this increase?
Is there anything I can do to not have this happen?
My script:
$ErrorActionPreference= 'continue'
$FilesInFolder = Get-ChildItem $PSScriptRoot
$CSVFiles = $FilesInFolder | where {$_.extension -eq ".csv"}
$SiteCode = "US1"
Function AddToCollection-WithWMI
ForEach ($File in $CSVFiles)
$CollectionStart = Get-Date
$CollectionName = $File.Name.TrimEnd(".csv")
$PClist = Import-CSV $File.FullName
Write-Host "Populating Collection: " $CollectionName
$i = 1
$PCRollingTime = New-Object System.TimeSpan
ForEach($PC in $PClist)
$PCStart = Get-Date
$ResourceName = $PC.SerialNumber
Write-Host $i "of" $PClist.Count
$ResourceQuery = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "Root\SMS\Site_US1" -Class SMS_R_SYSTEM -Filter "Name = '$ResourceName'"
$CollectionQuery = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "Root\SMS\Site_US1" -Class SMS_Collection -Filter "Name = '$CollectionName' and CollectionType='2'"
$CollectionQuery.Get()
IF($ResourceQuery -ne $null)
#Create new direct membership rule
$NewRule = ([WMIClass]"\\Localhost\root\SMS\Site_US1:SMS_CollectionRuleDirect").CreateInstance()
$NewRule.ResourceClassName = "SMS_R_System"
$NewRule.ResourceID = $ResourceQuery.ResourceID
$NewRule.Rulename = $ResourceQuery.Name
#Commit changes
$CollectionQuery.CollectionRules += $NewRule.psobject.baseobject
$CollectionQuery.Put() | Out-Null
$NewRule = $null
ELSE
Write-Host "No Device ID found for: " $PC.SerialNumber
$CollectionQuery = $null
$ResourceQuery = $null
$PCFinish = Get-Date
$TimeSpan = New-TimeSpan -Start $PCStart -End $PCFinish
$PCRollingTime = $TimeSpan + $PCRollingTime
If(($i % 25) -eq 0)
$CurrentAvgPerPC = $PCRollingTime.TotalSeconds / $i
Write-Host "The current average is" $CurrentAvgPerPC "seconds."
$SecondsToETA = ($CurrentAvgPerPC * ($PClist.Count - $i))
$ETA = Get-Date
$ETA = $ETA.AddSeconds($SecondsToETA)
Write-Host "The Estimated time of complete is" $ETA
If(($i % 250) -eq 0)
$PCRollingTime
$i++
$CollectionQuery = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "Root\SMS\Site_US1" -Class SMS_Collection -Filter "Name = '$CollectionName' and CollectionType='2'"
$CollectionQuery.Get()
#Initiate the collection evaluator
$CollectionQuery.RequestRefresh()
$CollectionFinish = Get-Date
AddToCollection-WithWMI

I haven't checked the complete code, but it doesn't look very efficient. For example I would take the collection query out the loop for all the pcs, simply because it's always the same and would save you about 4999 queries.

Additionally, you could likely replace most of the WMI calls you do with the built in SCCM PowerShell cmdlets. The two lines below will check to see if a Device Object for a specific PC exists and if it does, adds it to your collection
$PCID = Get-CMDevice -Name $PC.SerialNumber
if ($PCID -ne $null) {
Add-CMDeviceCollectionDirectMembershipRule -CollectionName $CollectionName -ResourceId $PCID
If you want to check to see if the collection exists before trying to add devices to it, you can use the Get-CMDeviceCollection cmdlet.
Get-CMDeviceCollection -Name $CollectionName

Mouse input gets progressively slower

Anytime I use 64 bit Photoshop CS6 the mouse's responsiveness on the canvas gets slower and slower. After about half an hour or so it'll be at the point where a click takes a couple seconds just to register. This is the case using any tools on the canvas, nothing else is delayed. The size or type of file doesn't make a difference. Closing and reopening fixes the problem but after a while it inevitably returns. It isn't present in Illustrator or any other program.
I haven't altered my installation or added any plugins or anything. When I searched for this problem I found similar issues being attributed to a wacom tablet, but neither a tablet nor it's assorted drivers have been anywhere near this computer. The computer itself is fairly powerful with 8GB of RAM, a GTX 660 with updated drivers, and an FX-8350 eight core processor
Can anyone please offer any advice? This is becoming a frustrating problem.

Despite what it says, I'm on Windows 8.1

Progressively Slower Connection Speed

Hi,
I'm having some difficulties with my BT Broadband speed. The connection is getting progressively slower. Each time the router recycles I get a lower connection speed.
According to the BT Wholesale checker I should be able to get 6.5-8Mbps but I've never seen > 3Mbps and am currently <2Mbps.

I have a shielded cable connecting the router to the line-box and the line-box has an ADSL filter faceplate which ought to mean I don't need filters anywhere in the house. This was fitted by a BT engineer.
I would be grateful if anybody could make a recommendation as I've tried everything I can think of.
Thanks in advance,
Simon Burrows

Hi,
I've left the router up for several days now with no decrease in connection speed:
5. ADSL uptime:
7 days, 00:01:00
6. Bandwidth:
448 / 1984
I've tried the quiet-line test with a corded phone and get a constant buzz.
The next thing I've tried is to disconnect the ADSL filter faceplate from the line-box and have plugged a different ADSL filter directly into the line-box. The quiet-line test still yields a buzz, albeit slightly quieter.
Now that I've reset the router (turned it off whilst swapping cables around), I now have the following (with a different ADSL filter):

I have set up LINUX and virtual agent configs a couple of times, and it has worked pretty ok.
What I found was that you might have to download a newer version of PLINK.exe and put that onto your OLT system.
(with the packaged version, I also had some communication issues)
Try to download the lates plink.exe and see if that works…
(you may want to restart you system after replacing plink.exe)

OAS 4.0.7 on SUSE Linux 6.1 gets very slow or hangs

Hallo out there,
we installed OAS 407 on a SUSE Linux 6.1 system with ORACLE
Server 8.0.5.0.0. After long time solving installation problems,
we are now able to start OAS via the OAS-Manager html page.
And we are able to launch a simple PL/SQL-application, which
produces the output of a system table. Now, the thing is, that we
can start this application once or twice or maybe a few times
more but then the system hangs or gets very slow, so that only a
hard reboot of the server machine works.
We configured the NR_TASKS parameter in tasks.h to get ulimit to
512 for the user processes. System seemed to work better then,
but maybe only a little bit better.
We have also got problems with domain-names and node-names, which
sometimes are just machinename, then machinename.domainname, then
again machinename.badister.(none) .
If there is anyone out there who has got the same problems or
solved them, please tell me.

I have wasted a lot of time trying to get OAS 4.0.7 to run with
a 2.2 kernel... it doesn't work, even after you've fixed all the
problems like to ps command for example, the listeners hang. I
now have it working on a 2.0 kernel, which is reasonably stable,
although I have to do a reboot every few days!

ALSA: snd-via82xx - No sound but system gets very slow

Hello!
I'm using the Onboard sound chip on my Fujitsu-Siemens D1607 mainboard. It' A Sigmatel STAC9758/59 Chip and runs with snd_via82xx module (worked with SuSE 9.1 so far, at least stereo-out but no LineIn). Now when i load the module as discribed in the ALSA howto an unmute Master and PCM i still get no sound, but my system gets very slow (applications start ten times slower, loading websites also takes much more time). But snd_via82xx seems to load without errors.
ArchLinux is uptodate and i'm using a custom Kernel 2.6.7 because i need some special settings for my AVM Fritz!Card DSL.
Does anybody have any hint?

Hmm ... is tried it at root only . Strange is that even CD doesn't work. No sound. Unfortunally this config works perfectly under WindowsXP so speakers should work so far. Realy strange .... this is was amixer says:

How to run the oracle form in linux system

Hello all,
My config is :-
Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)
Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
I can easily run my on Windows and Linux platform untill i am not use java bean in my form. After using the getMacaddress JAVA BEAN. I am not able to run my form on linux platform. If i remove the java bean from my form than form will run on linux.
I am not familiar with linux so i am not able to trace the problem basicaly i don't know which version of jre is used by linux system and i don't know how to find it.
Please guide me.

Now i install the jdk 1.6.0_20 and add into the jdeveloper 10.1.3.
and i change my code for get mac id is -
package demo;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.NetworkInterface;
import java.net.SocketException;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
public class App{
public static void main(String[] args){
InetAddress ip;
try {
ip = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
System.out.println("Current IP address : " + ip.getHostAddress());
NetworkInterface network = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(ip);
byte[] mac = network.getHardwareAddress();
System.out.print("Current MAC address : ");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < mac.length; i++) {
sb.append(String.format("%02X%s", mac[i], (i < mac.length - 1) ? "-" : ""));
System.out.println(sb.toString());
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SocketException e){
e.printStackTrace();
in form i create one jave bean area and add the implement class is
demo.get_info.
and on B1 (button) when-button-pressed
:T1 :=GET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('BEAN_MAC',1,'get_info');
No error comes and no out put comes. So please guide me how to use the getHardwareAddress to get mac id.

Hi, I am using an old PC P2 450Mhz, 256 MB Ram. Is ver 3.6.16 ok for my system or will it slow down the system? Thanks

Hi, I am using an old PC P2 450Mhz, 256 MB Ram. Is ver 3.6.16 ok for my system or will it slow down the system? NODD is the anti-virus. I am not happy with IE or goolge as these are taking too much space. Thanks

The system requirements for Firefox 3.6 are:
* Pentium 233 MHz (Recommended: Pentium 500 MHz or greater)
* 64 MB RAM (Recommended: 128 MB RAM or greater)
You exceed the minimum and are just short of the recommended processor. It should run OK but the only way to tell will be to try using it. Note that using add-ons can slow Firefox down, so if you start installing quite a few you may get performance issues.

Progressively slower speeds

This is my last effort to get my Infinity back to the speed it was a few weeks ago before I give up and change provider.
First, some back story, I didn't pay my bill on time, and got disconnected because of it. When I did pay my bill and got reconnected, the speed wasn't quite where it previously was before I was disconnected. I usually get around 37mbps which is roughly what I signed up for (40 mbps) but what I was getting was around 35 mbps. Since then, it's gotten progressively slower.
As I'm typing this, I'm getting anywhere from 22 mbps, to around 30 mbps, It's fluctuating quite a bit. To add to that, my ping for online gaming has gotten progressively higher.
After numerous calls and live chats to the extremely unhelpful indian call centre, and after being told time and again that the speed I'm getting is in the acceptable range (which I don't think a loss of about 8 mbps is at all acceptable, especially when I'm paying the same price) this is the final effort I'm making to fix this issue, if it still can't be resolved, then I'm afraid I'm switching provider to someone else. I'm truly fed up with being flat out lied to by the customer service, once being told that the maximum my line can handle is 35mbps which is an utter lie because I've already achieved higher speeds than that.
Sorry if this comes across as aggressive but I have had enough of spending weeks on the phone to BT to try and sort this, Hopefully someone here can help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It looks like DLM has fixed your data rate to raise your noise margin in an attempt to deal with instability on your line. Interleaving has probably been added to your line profile for the same reason and this will impact your pings.
The instability could be due to a line fault.
Once the instability has been removed, for example by an engineer fixing the line fault, then your speed and ping should return to normal.

How can you connect Ipod to a linux system?

Bought our study abroad student an Eee PC computer that will work well in his home country of Africa. My boys got Ipods for Christmas and I gave him one too. We are unable to find a way to get it to connect to his linux system. Is is possible?? It is an Ipod Nano 4th generation. Thanks!

The iPod is designed to work with iTunes however is no version of iTunes for Linux so there's no simple answer to your question. You'd be much more likely to find a possible solution by posting in one of the many Linux discussion websites. Linux Questions would be a good place to start, you'll find the forum at this link: LinuxQuestions.org

HOWTO: Repairing a headless Arch Linux system that fails to boot

The scenario...
I have a "headless" (no monitor or input peripherals) Arch Linux computer that is connected to a local network via a wireless adapter, and accessed from other computers via SSH.
Earlier today I accidentally broke its kernel so it did not boot anymore.
Idea: Temporarily connect a monitor to the computer, boot from a live CD (like the Arch Linux install CD), then chroot into the system and fix it.
Problem: I didn't have a compatible monitor at hand.
Idea: Log in to the live CD session from another computer via SSH.
Problem: The live CD can't auto-configure the headless computer's wireless connection, and setting it up manually while working "blind" would be a major hassle. A direct LAN connection to the router wasn't available either.
Idea: Connect directly with a laptop via an Ethernet cable, and then use SSH from the laptop => This solution worked for me!
If you find yourself in a similar situation, you can follow this tutorial which describes the solution that worked for me in detail...
You need:
a copy of the Arch Linux install CD (I used the 2013-05-01 version)
an Ethernet cable
a keyboard (might be dispensable, with additional preparation)
a functional Arch Linux laptop (or other computer within physical range)
Step 1) Prepare the live CD...
I used the plain Arch Linux install iso, burnt to CD.
By creating a carefully customized version of the live CD using Archiso, you might be able to eliminate the need for steps 2 and 4 - however that's not covered in this tutorial.
Step 2) Prepare the laptop...
The laptop needs to be configured in such a way, that the live CD's attempt to automatically establish an Ethernet connection with it will succeed:
a) IP address
In my case, the Laptop's wireless adapter had an IP address in the range 192.168.1.*, connecting it to the local network and Internet via the central router 192.168.1.1.
The Ethernet connection between the laptop and the headless computer becomes a separate mini-network, for which I decided to use IP addresses in the range 192.168.0.* (note the different third number). Specifically, I set the IP address of my laptop's Ethernet card to 192.168.0.1. You can do this by running the following as root (replace "eth0" with the name of your Ethernet interface):
ip link set eth0 up
ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev eth0
b) IP forwarding (optional)
While we're at it, we might as well enable IP forwarding, so that the live CD session on the headless computer will be able to directly use the laptop's outgoing Internet connection (which will make it much more convenient to install/upgrade packages during the repair session). To enable this, run the following as root (replace "eth0" and "wlan0" with the names of your laptop's Ethernet and wireless interfaces, respectively):
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth0 -j ACCEPT
sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
c) DHCP
The live CD will assume there's a router on the other side of the Ethernet link, and ask for an IP address via DHCP. So all we need to do, is run a dhcp server on the Laptop that will answer this request. It's surprisingly easy: Just install the package dnsmasq, and put the following in the file /etc/dnsmasq.conf (again replacing "eth0" as appropriate):
interface=eth0
dhcp-range=192.168.0.2,192.168.0.2
By setting the start & end values of dhcp-range to the same IP address, we enforce that this specific IP address will be used by the live CD on the headless computer.
Then start the daemon by running the following as root:
systemctl start dnsmasq.service
Step 3) Connect everything and boot up the live CD...
Connect the laptop and the headless computer via the Ethernet cable.
Connect the external keyboard to the headless computer.
Then put the Arch Linux install CD into the headless computer's drive, and boot. Wait a minute or so to give the CD time to load its boot menu (you should hear the CD drive spin up and settle down again). Then hit ENTER on the connected keyboard, to activate the default menu choice (which will boot straight to a live Arch Linux session with root privileges).
You can check whether it booted up and successfully initialized the Ethernet connection, by ping'ing the IP address that was specified in step 2c) from the laptop:
ping -c3 192.168.0.2
Step 4) Start the SSH server...
Unfortunately, the Arch Linux install CD doesn't automatically start its SSH server, and also it uses a randomized root password. To make SSH connections possible, you will have to use the connected keyboard to type in some stuff "blindly" (but it's simple enough):
type "passwd" (without the quotes)
type in a new password of your choice
press ENTER
type in the same password again
press ENTER
type "systemctl start sshd" (without the quotes)
press ENTER
Step 5) Connect from the laptop via SSH...
Now you can open an SSH connection, by executing the following on the laptop (when it asks for the password, enter the one you chose in step 4):
ssh [email protected]
Step 6) Profit!
Within this SSH shell on the laptop, you can now do whatever you would usually do to fix an Arch Linux system from a live CD.
You'll probably want to chroot into your Arch root partition, which is very easy thanks to the arch-chroot tool that is included on the live CD (replace "/dev/sda3" with the name of the headless computer's root partition):
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
arch-chroot /mnt
If you set up IP forwarding as described in step 2b), then Internet access should magically work in this shell without any further configuration, so you can freely use pacman etc. inside the chroot.
Enjoy!

It is definitely able to recognize the USB and DVDs as separate drives; it gives the option of booting from USB, and it gives the memory capacity of the USB drive I used as a live USB, and the memory used for the live CD. But when it comes time to actually boot, something is going wrong.
I would suspect it is a problem with the BIOS, if not for the fact that I had a similar issue on my previous system, which used a completely different motherboard. If it is the same issue, it would either have to be a problem with the DVD drive (although I don't know why it would be against loading some live CDs but not others) or perhaps the way I created the live CDs. Although, again, I don't understand why the Linux Mint 32-bit DVD would work fine, while both 64-bit DVDs would not.
I will try using a different DVD drive to boot the DVDs, and if that does not work, I'll try creating a new Arch live CD to see if I can resolve the issue. But if anyone has any ideas, it would still be greatly appreciated.
