You want to restart zmd at least once a week since there were
definiteyl and might still be some resource leaks in mono that make it
wise to restart,

Last time , It taked more than 3 minutes to wake up in an amd64 1GB RAM,
CLI only install.
this is what I call a real pig. and it's nearly unusable in low resource
systems. :-(

Using rug it's completely out of question for me.

Hi,

> Why does this executable live in /usr/lib64?

This seems to be known as

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=162302
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=162464

I disagree with the resolution in both cases, but maybe it's better to just not 
touch it any more if it works now and there were problems finding the 
executables in the past. Especially if this resolution was proposed by the 
project manager himself. ;)

But doesn't this only make him go to sleep more seldom?
The next time I need him he's asleep again anyway..

I'd need him to be awake, fresh and ready when I need him.

Houghi's solution obviously would do that, but as he said, it's
processor load and server traffic in vain.

I have had refresh on in all my YaST sources in 10.0, so I know it takes
a lot of time to refresh, so maybe it's just the same here. When I know
I'm going to need zmd, I'll ask him to wake up and go do something else
for a while.

In case I forget him for a too long time, I think what Andreas says will
prevent him from going to sleep again too soon.

Is there a maximum? Are there disadvantages if you use an extreme large
sleep-interval? e.g. what happens if you do a sleepinterval of 24 hours
and then use crontab to do a forced update at a moment where it does not
matter, like at 04:00 or whenever you least likely are going to use it.

One disadvatages I can imagine on the top of my head are unneeded load on 
the servers.

What if you make the timeout a week, or a month, or indefinite?

After some struggling with YaST as I used it the way I'm used to I made
a fresh install and used rug all the way. That seemed to work well, I
wrote some notes on my site.
There's been quite a lot of traffic to that page since, so we'll see

YUM sources added with rug are not synched in yast, whether this is by design 
or oversight or broken I am unsure, i've still got a coupel of thigns i want 
to try and AJ's new test packages to try before i open a bug report. 

ZYPP sources added in rug synch with yast just fine ( at least here ).

Agreed. This is a huge show stopper for the new SUSE users that visit the IRC

Is it possible that parse-metadata or update-status are looping waiting for 
the next metadata file to download? Please read the following and consider 
this as a contributing factor somewhere in the update stack chain. If not 
related to the problems with parse-metadata or update-status in it's own 
right it highlights symptoms many users are reporting.

A user last night on #suse was having difficulty adding a mirror for the main 
installation source. His symptoms were that the inst_source module would seem 
to 'freeze' after he clicked the finish button.

Now knowing that the main repo can take a while to download, and knowing that 
there is no progress indicator (  a *working* progress indicator for 
inst_source would be an improvement by orders of magnitude I cannot convey in 
written text  ) I suspected that it was maybe a slow download of the 
repo metadata after he had clicked finish. 

I asked the user to try a few things and I was surprised to discover he would 
have the same problem for smaller repos with small sized metadata, I asked 
him to try adding a ZYPP source using rug and the same response, he would say 
that 'rug had stalled, it had frozen on 0% progress'. This was indicative of 
reports from many users in #suse over the past couple of weeks. Many of them 
report the same symptoms.

Now, knowing the mirror is good and knowing that in rug the progress indicator 
when adding a ZYPP source is broken (  a *working* progress indicator 
for rug when adding ZYPP sources would be an improvement by orders of 
magnitude I cannot convey in written text  )  I asked the user to add 
the same repository as a YUM source, knowing the progress indicator for YUM 
actually works (  Oh wait, this one works ;)  ) I was quite 
suprised to discover just how slow his download of the catalog meta data was 
adding a YUM source.

[09:14] * spyderous watches '13.0 bytes/s'
[09:19]  spyderous: your mirror is on your campus yeah?
[09:21]  cenuij: yeah, i get 1+M/s downloads
[09:21]  and your attached to the campus network with a 100Mbit/sec 
connection?
[09:24]  cenuij: sorry, yeah i am. didn't see what you said
[09:27]  spyderous: ok one more thing if you dont mind please :) could 
you try a wget on inst-source/suse/repodata/filelists.xml.gz ?
[09:28]  42% [===>] 7,363,246
  
1.31M/sETA 00:08

So, on a 100Mbit/sec LAN/WAN connection the update stack was transfering the 
repo metadata at a staggering 13.0 bytes/s and from the same repo he was able 
to transfer metadata at 1.31M/s

I understand this is not scientific, or conclusive and other factors may be at 
work here but we were able to reproduce the same symptoms and slow transfer 
using the update stack. Eventually he was able to add the main installation 
repo, I asked him how long it took; "20-30 minutes". 

I asked the user to file a bug report, hopefull he will. Of course if anyone 
has time to test this or profile whatever network aware part of the update 
stack may be causing this...

I have tried to test the following:

I have an install repo on a server. I put a newer package there and see
if it works.

I'll have some results soon. Like tomorrow, maybe.

I am not talking about doing actual online updates. I am talking about a
directory to *test* online updates in Factory, Alpha, Beta and RC.

e.g. just one file that will be updated and that is the "Release notes" or
somthing else competely irrelevant to the working of the system itself.
Perhaps just a test added to the realease notes that states that no real
security updates are done.

That way we have a directory to point to for our online updates during the
pre-release period and see what goes right or wrong. So no real (security)
updates, but a rocess to *test* the process.

At this moment, I think there is no way we can test YOU or similar
processes with zen. Such a directory would make it possible to test these
processes.

I believe that such a directory should be part of the Factory process all
the time. If not for actual updates, then at least for testing purposes.

It should be a nice way to test online updates. Just to test the update
process. Edit the Release Notes to include: Update worked or just change

OK. I'll keep it on my "factory machine"

I ran the stuff seemingly successfully and removed it from my desktop

Testing now with adding and removing sources and software with rug and
Updater/Installer.

We will reissue this set of packages in there as regular online update
once testing has finished.

Of course we can now do more such one-offs ;)

That page is cool!

My understanding improved significantly. It's not hard to improve from
zero :)

Is this update-test going to stay there for testing or is it a one-off?
Should it be kept?

I've replaced Yum with Zypp in the examples on this page.

It seems that using zypp is generally the best approach.

bugfix for dhcp (DHCLIENT_HOSTNAME_OPTION)

It saya Applied but because of the orange I attempted to run it with result:

This worked, thank you. The globe went Orange, 17 updates.

Didn't last long either.

I wonder if I should now run them, this is my attempted-to-keep
installation.
I ran those already on my factory one but I don't know yet what they did.

Use

rug sa --type=zypp 
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test/  
update-test

You missed the actual name at the end of the commandline.

Then:
rug sub update-test

This is better, but I'm not sure if not the removal of duplicates

I did with yast. It never finished, but rug sl showed the source as 
added.

> The stuff appeared as updates (the Globe went orange) in updater.

I don't have the update app running, so I tried the usual way: 
Yast->Software Manager-> show all packages->install new versions if 
available (non was available). 

Whatever, I downloaded the RPMs now. ;-)

But I do.

I just had a quick look and it looks like zmd.exe is really compiled 
differently on i586 and x86_64.

It shouldn't be, and the executables shouldn't be in the lib64 directory.

But it's probably not worth a bug report because the zmd package as a whole 
(not zmd.exe) needs to be architecture specific anyway for other, unrelated 
reasons.

Having a crontab every 20 minutes seems to do the trick Just keep it

I wanted to try this, but the first try is not successfull. When I tried

It failed to add. Next I choose import, now the dialog is there after

How can I do it? I see no dups in GUI so if you suggest that I should

SUSE uses lib64 for default 64bit libraries, so on AMD64 "everything" is

Why does this executable live in /usr/lib64? How can zmd.exe find it there? Is 
it compiled differently on lib64 systems? But wasn't it supposed to be 
architecture independent?

Sounds like another bug...

Hi,

some time ago I was reflecting on how to boost performance on a Pentium Pro 200 
MHz with 128MB RAM. I concluded that today's programming language and -style 
suffers from needless copying of data (not to talk about needless calling of 
code), making the relatively fast CPU cache quite useless. As a proof on 
concept I 
wrote a sample program that does very aggressive data sharing (kind of "copy on 
write"). The performance is really great (I did unpack MIME messages): It's 
about 
a factor of 1000 faster than PINE. However: Data inter-dependencies are 
terrible, 
and it's a maintenance pain.

Performance sample (on a P4 2.8GHz meanwhile): base64-decoding 9219kB (includes 
reading the source (most likely cached, however) and writing the output): 
0.161s 
(elapsed! time (wall time))

Now for XML... ;-)

Regards,
Ulrich

I definitely used the rpm-md's. I thought those were "recommended" now - of 
course I have no knowledge of the technicalities involved in it.

That sounds a lot like XML repository metadata parsing.
libzypp/ZMD is most probably not parsing the data stream as it is
being downloaded, so I presume it's download everything (for one
repository) first, then parse.

Would be interesting to do some profiling on parse-metadata.
Anything available for Mono ?

What XML parsing model is being used there, SAX, DOM, StAX ?

Most probably not DOM...

When I look at my ("guru") RPM-MD repository for 10.0 (which is large,
but a lot smaller than the FTP tree):
== compressed:
primary.xml.gz   =   1,058,326 (bytes)
filelists.xml.gz =   1,029,756
other.xml.gz = 497,642

== uncompressed:
primary.xml  =   6,174,750
filelists.xml=  11,032,393
other.xml=   2,950,989

== compression ratio:
primary.xml   =  5.83
filelists.xml = 10.42
other.xml =  5.92

Now when I look at SL-10.1/inst-source/suse/repodata:
== compressed:
primary.xml.gz   =   8,056,136 (bytes)
filelists.xml.gz =  17,474,199
other.xml.gz =  53,265,854

BTW, other.xml.gz is *huge* (contains %changelog information) - I
don't know whether libzypp/zmd download and/or use "other.xml.gz"
though. smart (http://smartpm.org) doesn't.

== uncompressed:
primary.xml  =  47,127,500
filelists.xml= 211,884,423
other.xml= 206,534,422

== compression ratio:
primary.xml=  5.83
filelists.xml  = 12.12
other.xml  =  3.87

Assuming that other.xml is not being used by libzypp/ZMD, I would
guess the following memory usage with DOM:
- primary.xml:47MB on disk => 150-200MB RAM
- filelists.xml: 210MB on disk => 600-800MB RAM

Hmm.. after all... maybe it _is_ DOM ;)

Could someone with the mentioned libzypp/ZMD problems have a look at
memory/swap usage as well ?
- vmstat -n 5 999
- sar -r 5 999 (even better; sar is part of the sysstat package))

The yast2 format is possibly more efficient wrt memory and CPU.
Maybe worth investigating whether the memory+CPU problems happen with
RPM-MD repos but not with yast2 repos... ?

I'd say turn down (or even remove) all repositories, then just add the
10.1 FTP tree metadata, and run vmstat or sar to monitor CPU+memory
usage. With sysstat, it can be done like this:

sar -r -X `pidof parse-metadata` 5 999

(5 = 5 second interval, 999 = number of iterations)

You can even draw graphs from that data when you store it into a file
(-o option, it's a binary format), but you can't use -o in conjunction
with -X, so the stats would be system-wide:

mkdir ~/sar
sar -o ~/sar/sa.$(date '+%Y_%m_%d') -r -u 5 999
isag -p ~/sar

... then choose the file (click on the "-" button) and choose memory
or CPU graph (and you can even save the picture).

Into RAM? If so, wouldn't it preferrable to use some light-weight & fast 
database 
library like Sleepycat (now: Oracle) to store meta-data instead of XML (on 
disk)? 
That way, the data structure would be ready almost immediately. I could imagine 
either shipping the metadata database as CD image, or as an "importable" 
database 
dump.
I can imagine (juast a wild guess) that even BerkeleyDB mounted over NFS isn't 
much slower than XML-parsing the same data after downloading them. (If you are 
asking about incremental updates)

As expected I thought of some more pretty big issuses, imho at least, shortly 
after sending the last mail. So I'll do some more "crying" as Henne calls 
it :)  - I think it's constructive input for making it better though.

* YaST2 now installs dependencies without consulting/warning the user first - 
it can be a bit surprising sometimes to see all kinds of packages being 
installed that you never selected.

* Conflicts/deps need to be taken care of one by one, unlike before. Often you 
get a lot of problems with the same reason - which could be easily resolved 
in one or two clean swoops "in the good old days" of <=10.0.

* When you add sources to yast they are always called "YUM", in ZMD they're 
given numbers for a name - the date + some random numbers I guess. Once 
you've added maybe 6 or 7 sources it gets pretty hard to keep track of which 
is which - and there's generally not room for the entire url. Maybe there's a 
way to edit the names that I'm not aware of.

After writing down these issues and the ones before it's becoming apparent to 
me that almost all of these issues are with YaST2. Maybe things actually work 
pretty well with rug/zen - apart from the parse-metadata and update-status 
slowness.

I'll add the above issues to the page Henne set up on the wiki.

Why is everybody thinking there's something rotten going on if a bug
is closed?

  


Not because it's closed. I could not even know that. It's because I am
not supposed to know the bug. This creates the "rotten" suspicion.


Oh, so it's rotten that you cannot view a product for which you're not 
registered as a tester?


Keep in mind that the Novell BugZilla tracks *all* products that are in 
the Novell briefcase.  You may enter a bug that you found on OpenSuse, 
but it's already been reported as a SLES bug. Then your entry is marked 
as closed/duplicate, and since you're not a SLES tester, you don't have 
access.


That isn't very rotten, is it?

Point is: in an open source world one takes the best solution available,
e.g. for package management (and there are a few out there). Or you
think you can develop a better one then you go for it. BUT always in
mind to produce a solution for the community, not for a single vendor.
So: the source is open, but not the mind. It just looks open source.

Flawlessly? I'm sorry but we can't agree on that. Those are easily the most 
serious bugs - but there are a lot of smaller irritations - and though I'm 
not a developer or a genius I'm a pretty experienced SUSE user I think - 
what's irritating to me will be completely unacceptable and incomprehensible 
to most noobs. 

Here's a quick list of issues that bother me - some of which have already been 
fed to bugzilla in beta-state.

* there are serious problems with: right click on rpm > Open with Software 
Installer / actions > Install package with YaST

* you can't add a simple directory containing rpms as a source to yast - which 
was never a problem before

* YaST gives no information when it's downloading or refreshing repodata 
making inexperienced users think it's frozen. For inspiration on how to 
handle this I would look at the smart -gui which tells you what's downloaded, 
how much, from where, at what speed etc.

* The issue with repos not being digitally signed. The warning message keeps 
popping up - no matter how many times you tell it "don't show this message 
agian".

* Maybe this one is me being stupid - but if you have services added, but not 
subscribed to - it seems to me that zen/rug still parses metadata for those. 
And I've even had rug ask me for a cd when the cd catalog was unsubscribed 
and factory added and subscribed to (it was during betas, but it's not fixed 
yet). I thought that added / subscribed-unsubscribed were the equivalents to 
added/activated-deactivated in yast - but that's not the case apparently.

* Also you can't seem to have more instances of packagemanagement running - 
don't know if this is intentional, and has to be this way. But it certainly 
was no problem to have "installation souces" and "software management" open 
at the same time in earlier releases, for example.

* If you add sources to yast they're automatically added to zen/rug - but this 
doesn't work the other way around.

I don't know what the long term strategy is - but if yast sw and zen are 
supposed to coexist in the long run I'd like some kind of central 
repo-management module in which you could add, remove, deactivate, refresh 
etc. all the repos, with selections for all frontends.

I'll probably think of more as soon as I click send - but these are issues I 
could currently think of.

Ok to summarize:

There are two problems with packagemanagement in 10.1

* zmd meta data parsing is not fast enough for realworld requirements

With a typical SUSE Linux user inst-source setup parsing the metadata
takes up to 10 minutes. This is with variations depending on download
speed and the amount of installation sources. This also manifests in
suse_register (which is using zmd) and general i/o during normal
operation when zmd wakes up and starts parsing.

* inst-source syncing between yast inst_source and zmd is not robust

Usually this problem pops up when users start to try to work-around
problems with zmd (like removing services with rug, reinstalling zdm
etc.)

Everything else is working pretty flawlesly. Can we agree on that?

This is bad but not unfixable.

I'm talking about 176301.  It was never public.

Let's leave that one as reported against SLES - that way it will get
highest priority ;-).

If anybody likes to be CC'ed on it, tell me offline and I add you to
it.

Bug 177758 was connected to 176301 as "bug 177758 must be first fixed
before we can close 176301".

It never was.

Those are totally unrelated - but since 176301 is not public, you can

I believe you misread it. The bug was moved. Because it was originaly was
reported as a lybzypp bug, the one where it is moved to will also be a
libzypp bug.
This most likely means that there is an issue with libzypp, because
otherwise the bug would have been closed and not noted as a duplicate.

All is giuessing, because we are not allowed to see #176301 even though it
was first a public one.

there is a real bug, it is the visible/invisible state of a 
bug in bugzilla. We already discuss this here, no real 
solution I fear :-(




After playing around with this problem a bit it seems likely that
running "rug sl" just once is the workaround for this bug.


yes and no.

during my tests I've seen zen sessions shadowwed several 
times. may be there is a problem is this corner, when 
creating the first run config.


is not, if this is necessary, it should run with a better

I experience the same thing as Frank - on my 900mhz/512 mb laptop - I added 
inst-source, non-oss, packman, guru and kde-update to yast installation 
sources module. After every boot the processes "parse-metadata" and 
"update-status" use up a lot cpu for *at least* half an hour. Same thing 
happens if I should want to run the Zen Software Installer.

On my AMD64 3000+/1 gig ram work station things weren't nearly as bad - but 
still very slow.

Of course I quickly solved this by removing all repos from zen/rug - that way 
there is not much update status to check and no metadata for it to parse. And 
then installing Smart in stead. The only reason I didn't remove rug/zen 
entirely is that I want to be able to test it some more and give feedback.

Good to hear AJ's interest in our feedback. I've been meaning to do a list 
that describes everything about Zen/rug/Yast/zmd/libzypp that I don't like. 
Since AJ suggested a discussions about this next week I'll start preparing :)

Actually I generally like the "setup" - with the three frontends. Rug for cli, 
Zen for the random quick install and Joe sixpack users - and YaST if you 
want/need a lot of options and information. If only it would work - and 
preferably pretty fast at that - it would be nice.

However I can't help but wonder how things would look if the ressources that 
were put into the whole libzypp-, rug-, zenworks-thing had been invested in 
developing Smart instead.. I've only used Smart for about a week and 
primarily the gui - but I'm absolutely blown away - to have YaST-qt as a 
frontend for that would rock the world I think. I also tend to think that 
maybe it would be smarter (get it?) to ditch Zen and go with Smart - given 
the amount of work Zen still needs.

Using Smart the last week or so actually gives food to the idea that "Not 
invented here" is playing a part in what's going on. Maybe it's true that 
Novell wants to reinvent everything in Mono.

PS. Someone said, you lose the systray update notifier if you move to Smart. 
Not necessarily so - on the guru source there's a package called Ksmarttray - 
that does just that.

My guess would be that most of the time is spent downloading the metadata. 
In any case, I'd suggest you try ftp-1.gwdg.de instead of ftp4.gwdg.de

Note that /etc/zmd/zmd.conf has a config option when zmd goes to sleep again:

~~
[Advanced]
run-transaction-test=False

[Server]
bind-ip=127.0.0.1
refresh-interval=86400
inventory-enabled=True
remote-enabled=false
require-verified-certs=True
sleep-interval=1800
~~

sleep-interval=1800 means it sleeps after 30 minutes of inactivy -
which is fine for me.  You can increase those values if you like.
Once zmd sleeps it needs some time to wake up again since it does not
store everything in its database :-(

The ftp tree is rather large.  If you remove it, your system is much
faster.  This tree has 20 MB of *compressed* xml metadata, downloading
and parsing it takes time - too much right now.

Why is everybody thinking there's something rotten going on if a bug
is closed?

The bug is "Bug 176301 - Overview bug for performance issues regarding
zypp, zlm, NCC" and starts with:
~~
We have identified some bugs which all have some influence to the performance
issues.

NONE of this is a blocker for itself, but alltogether results in the
performance we face now.

I opened this bug with severity blocker to keep track of all the issues.
If we could fix some/most of the related bugs, we could downgrade this one to
critical or even major.

Currently I am aware of  #155591, #163186, #169719, #175880, #174887

If any one is aware of further bugs related to perfomarnce add the to the
dependency tree of this one.
~~

And the developers add any bugreport that they thing is performance
related.  Nothing more.  The initial report was against SLES10 which
is closed and therefore the bug is closed.  But their's no conspiracy
or whatever.

rug and zen-updater talk with zmd.  zmd is a daemon running.  zmd
talks with the libzypp-zmd-backend to libzypp.

It's libzypp as called/linked by zmd/yast2.

No, yast2 links against libzypp and only calls zmd in this case:
* Adding/removing installation sources (so that the sources are in
  sync, unfortunatetly both have their own source handling)

Yes, it needs to parse all the stuff and then the daemon has

8 minutes is still to long and therefore I would like to see which
repositories you use (output of "rug sl") to get a feeling whether
there's a reason for it.  It needs roughly two minutes on my system,

Must that be done each time a source is added, or only once? If each time,
it could be something that needs to be run/added after adding a source.

At this moment I am installing KDE to see if there is any difference with
Gnome (The should not be, but you never know) and will see if adding
another source makes a difference.

Installation will take about two hurs, so don't hold your breath. :-)

These are three machines showing this bug: 2GHz/512MB, 2.2GHz/512MB and

The reports I read on Hungarian lists were about P3's and early P4

1.9Ghz PentiumM with 512MB of RAM (Compaq nx8220) and dual 2.4Ghz P4

any significant slow down. On my 1Ghz PPC machine with 256MB of RAM I 
can feel some slow down, but only beagle has a real impact on

does not have any impact on the same machine. Bye,

No, the other way round: zmd and rug use libzypp's API.

Yes.

No, both of these go through libzypp.

No, YaST works if zmd is not even installed.

You can do:

rpm -e libzypp-zmd-backend zmd rug

and YaST will still work. (Except for the so-called registration.)

Actually I don't think it's libzypp, it's more about ZMD.

Could someone post a few details about what libzypp actually does and

Is it an abstraction and/or API to ZMD and rug ?

Is libzypp the one capable of handling yast2/ZMD repos and RPM-MD ? Or

That ridiculous. What would some "kind of install" have to do with ZMD
working properly or not on 3 different boxes and several others he did
from scratch.
And he's not alone with this issue, it's being reported often on IRC.

On IRC we currently recommend using smart, y2pmsh or rug and
disable+remove ZMD packages.

Well, I strongly presume those problems are related to plain ZMD
and/or libzypp bugs, not particularly to his setup.
Those problems are encountered far too often to just be related to
some specifics of his installation or hardware.

Yes, the Beagle frontends work well, no problem with that. But the
Beagle daemon is also often a resource hog that causes people on IRC
to complain about 10.1 being so slow.
I suppose there's not all that much to be done about the Beagle
daemon, it's kind of inherent to what it does (it has to do a lot of
I/O and probably actually needs a lot of memory) - document indexers
usually do that, I don't think there's a silver bullet to solve it.

Nevertheless, Beagle is not a critical component to the system. If
it's a resource hog on your system, then just turn it off, SUSE Linux
10.1 will remain an excellent distribution to work with.
The same cannot be said of the package management subsystem. The
latter must work reliably, always, so we really have to identify and
fix bugs there (and not dismiss them).

Hard to believe that bad connectivity could put my system into 96% wait
state for 30 minutes. Please, explain.

It lasts through reboots. So seems only the very first "rug" in the
lifetime of an installation takes that long.

Real problem is that during beta testing there were no [EMAIL PROTECTED] update
servers available for testing, just a new beta every week, so none
of the Zen stuff (practically the only reason for the 10.1 release)
ever got any testing.

My guess as to why some people have problems and others don't: Bad
connectivity to the update server that got picked for the system. Try
poking around on the mirrors list and selecting different ones manually.



Nope, I don't think it is.. I have huge delays even on a local mirror on 
Gbit networking...

I won't work with the current 10.1 update repos, as it depends on the 
old-style patch descriptions and directory layout.

Real problem is that during beta testing there were no [EMAIL PROTECTED] update
servers available for testing, just a new beta every week, so none
of the Zen stuff (practically the only reason for the 10.1 release)
ever got any testing.

My guess as to why some people have problems and others don't: Bad

Apparently it's the wake-up of Zen that takes forever.. It loads both 
CPUs to 100% while coming to life. When alive sommands go instantly, no 
more than 0.3 seconds to execute just about anything that doesn't 
involve checking sources online, while doing the same things with 
zmd.exe in sleep state takes between 1.5 and 10 minutes.

You have quite a lot sources and even duplicates.  I suggest to remove
those that you do not need.  1, 2, and 6 are all the same.  I would
remove either 1 or 6.  No. 1,2,4 and 6 are quite large, the meta data
for each are around 50 MB, so the download alone takes time - and then
comes parsing...
