Re: [gentoo-user] Slow application start, LC_CTYPE and XCreateFontSet
Initially I had similar behavior as you, except that en_US.UTF-8 was
faster and others slower (my laptop is a 1.8 GHz AMD64).
But, after repeated invocations of 'time xterm ...' all versions
settled down to the same value: ~0.25 seconds.
Maybe you should post your question on some X-related mailing list.
--- Vladimir
on 07/21/2008 04:36 PM Zdenek Travnicek said the following:
Hello,
I've installed new laptop few weeks ago and everything is running fine
except for all (most?) X applications taking few seconds to start.
I've tracked the problem down with ltrace to XCreateFontSet() call
that blocks for more than 2 seconds.
Searching on google lead me some forums about problem with this call and
UTF-8 encodings.
Further tests showed that the problem is related only to having locale
set to en_US.UTF-8.
Setting locale to anything else seems to solve it (even en_US)
$ time LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 xterm -e echo
real0m2.422s
user0m0.010s
sys 0m0.012s
$ time LC_ALL=cs_CZ.UTF-8 xterm -e echo
real0m0.065s
user0m0.048s
sys 0m0.010s
That's probably the reason I never saw it before, I usually have some
non-english locale on my system. (czech/japanese/russian, none of them
affected)
Specificaly, it seems to be related to LC_CTYPE setting.
strace shows lots output similar to:
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}], 1, -1) = 1
read(3,
\1\0\212\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\351\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0,
32) = 32
writev(3, [{1\1\t\0\1\0\32\0, 8}, {*-*-*-*-*-*-KSC5601.1987-0, 26},
{\0\0, 2}], 3) = 36
read(3, 0x7fff831995a0, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
I tried to generate al locales with 'locale-gen -A' and to install some
other fonts (to have the same font set as on other machine where it
works fine) and nothing helped at all.
Any ideas how can I solve it?
Does it mean that I'm missing some fonts? Or something else? I'm running
out of ideas what to try...
my X server is xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6 compiled with USE: dri
input_devices_joystick input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse
input_devices_synaptics ipv6 nptl sdl video_cards_nv video_cards_nvidia
video_cards_vesa xorg xprint
I generated all possible locales with locale-gen -A
I use fluxbox-1.0.0-r2
Any help is greatly appreciated

What sort of ebuilds/apps should I be looking at to solve the problem? After further investigation of the above with the helpful hint of checking out 'fancontrol' apparently my laptop contains no pwm capable chips. Now I suspect this is highly unlikely as the fan speed does indeed change under vista. I wonder then if it's just not detecting the chip.

This kernel, however, looks balky to me, because it's reporting warnings and other oddities during compilation. I don't like warnings at any time, and with the kernel's make wrappers cleaning up the output they tend to stand out. Here's what I get: -- various type/attribute warnings -- reports of deprecated elements -- a report of section mismatches, and instructions to use make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y to find details. All that being said, the compilation completes, and I can boot it. I don't know the cause, but I have been unable to get vmware-server running on it, and I'm going back to the previous kernel for that reason. SNIP You are not alone if having issues with this kernel. When I tried to run it recently, I noticed a serious slow down in KDE, especially when logging into KDE. My usual login time is about 7 to 8 seconds but with this kernel, try about 30 seconds. My mouse was jerky and even Seamonkey was very slow to switch tabs. Nothing changed but the kernel. I didn't test to long because it was so annoying. Don't forget to mention, that sun darkened and rain was coming, once you had booted 2.6.25 ... Compile issues are one thing, but putting all these application issus on the kernel seems a bit unfair, especially, when admitting, that you didn't test long. I have seen my KDE login or tab switching in firefox delayed, too, but not because of any kernel upgrade, but because updatedb was taking action right when I was logging in, or because a forgotton compile process on TTY1 took CPU power away. I for my part didn't have any problems with 2.6.25-r6, neither at compile time nor at runtime Well, I have tested it a few times, recently because of the DVD problem with udf, and each time I run that kernel it is slow as syrup on the north pole. Since my updatedb runs in the morning, I'm sure it was not running. I *think* it is something different in how the CPU is done. I show very little hard drive activity when it is logging me into KDE. Same with Seamonkey being slow. It is funny that they are predicting severe thunderstorms and wind here today. Guess that just confirms it. LOL Dale :-) :-)
Re: [gentoo-user] OT Calenders
James [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Wednesday 23 July 2008, 19:43:16 Hello, I currently use Korganizer. I was wondering if there is a way to enhance the calender with know public holidays. For example, say I wan to get the Holidays for the USA, Canada and Jamaica onto my KOrganizer? KOrganizer supports standard ICal-Files. Googleing for usa holidays ical gets me to http://www.icalworld.com/holidays.html There are files for Canada and the USA. I didn't verify their completeness, since I'm not living in any of the mentioned countries, and don't know about any US holiday save Independence Day and Halloween ;) -- Freedom is always the freedom of dissenters.

Hi there, my texlive setup works well with the tetex useflags enabled, since the packages I encountered all depend upon a virtual that is provided by both tetex and texlive.

That is sort of along the lines of what I am thinking. It doesn't seem to be something accessing the hard drive or something like that so I suspect that something is using the CPU a lot. I do plan to check this more later on. I did also notice some of the warnings the OP mentioned. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with my issues but thought it may be worth mentioning in case it was also causing other issues. Since my old kernel is stable and runs fine, I usually answer no to the new stuff with make oldconfig since I'm not using them anyway. It is possible tho that something got turned on that I missed. After all, I'm getting older and prone to silly things. o_O Dale :-) :-)

Check if you're using a graphics driver that needs its modules recompiled after a kernel upgrade or else it either disables acceleration or falls back to the VESA or FB driver (slow). I didn't test to long because it was so annoying. I used make oldconfig and my old kernel config as a starting point. Did you happen to do the same? Maybe it should be done from scratch? Some conflict or something? Thoughts? I never needed to do 'make oldconfig'. After emerging a new kernel, I do make menuconfig (or xconfig (Qt) or gconfig (Gtk)) and everything is already configured like the currently running kernel. I think this requires the following options enabled though (General setup): * Kernel .config support [*] Enable access to .config through /proc/config.gz I think it's on by default.

No offense, but I don't know enough about you to evaluate your skill or knowledge. warnings that are not harmless are being fixed before a release. 2.6.25 is at .10. So everything that is harmfull should be fixed by now. Also, the build is full with these messages. Just because you missed them before does not make them worse now. Deprecation warnings are just that. Something uses something that is on its way to be phased out. If you have followed the kernel you'd know that it can take YEARS between 'deprecation' and removal. And the mismatch warnings - again if they would be dangerous they would be fixed. I have asked on lkml about them once and got no reply - which is close to 'it is not serious'.
