Re: Evolution consuming 50% cpu on FC 16

[hostmaster]

Hi,

Tried your script. It seems to have worked. Evolution is 0% cpu.

Thanks a lot.

uuidd fails to start

[JD]

Booting with every fc16 kernel, I always get this failure.
Boot.log shows
Failed to start LSB: UUID daemon  FAILED
See 'systemctl status uuidd.service' for details.
# systemctl status uuidd.service
uuidd.service - LSB: UUID daemon
  Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/uuidd)
  Active: failed since Tue, 29 May 2012 00:06:00 -0600
 Process: 1003 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/uuidd start (code=exited, 
status=1/FAILURE)

  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/uuidd.service

So, I tried to start it manually:

# uuidd
Failed to open/create /var/run/uuidd/uuidd.pid: No such file or directory

Even if I create dir /var/run/uuidd and restart the system,
it fails the same way, because the dirs in /var/run get removed.
But I can start it manually, if I create the dir and invoke uuidd.
Of course, it does not survive a reboot.

Also, I searched the system for uuidd.service

# locate uuidd.service
#

# find /lib/systemd /etc/systemd -name uuidd.\*
#

So, where is this service file? Or is it created dynamically at boot time?

Googling for uuidd.service shows some early development mods containing
uuidd.service.in , but it is not in latest source code of 
util-linux-2.20.1-2.3.fc16.src.rpm.


I anyone has a solution or a clue, please share.

Hi,

folder?

The Inbox is the the top folder with 20+ sub-folders. Message will go in
to the Inbox folders and moved to the sub-folders by message filters.

> being that Inbox folder for accounts receive _all_ emails first, it
may be that a filter routine is constantly checking Inbox for new
emails.

I have quite a number of filters but I don't experience this in my
previous version of Evolution.

You might have broken index files. It can sometimes help to "vacuum" the
database. Here's a script I posted recently:

#!/bin/sh

cd ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/
for i in `find . -name folders.db`
do
echo "Rebuilding Table $i"
sqlite3 $i "vacuum;"
done

Important: this is for Evo 3.x. Earlier versions used a different file
structure. Also, this should be done only after stopping Evo completely
("evolution --force-shutdown").

If that doesn't work, ask on the Evolution list:

I tried and it didn't work.

Perhaps it is because my friend is running Fedora 15 and I have Fedora 16.
Hopefully it will work once we both upgrade to Fedora 17 in the near future.

I have made a comment for 822792 that when yum update
had brought in kernel-3.3.5-2.fc16.i686, it created a bad
uuid for the search line in grub.cfg, but left the Linux line
with the correct uuid. So, I was never able to boot
kernel-3.3.5-2.fc16.i686 and it had not occurred to me to
examine grub.cfg at that time. Ditto after yum update
brought in kernel-3.3.6-3.fc16.i686, the same thing happened
and I had not looked at grub.cfg. I only decided to examine it
closely yesterday (05/27) just after midnight. I posted my
finding in bugzilla.
So, I believe installing kernel-3.3.5-2.fc16.i686 mad the
bad uuid entry, and kernel-3.3.6-3.fc16.i686 made the mistake
of using the kernel-3.3.5-2 menu entry as a template, and made
the same erroneous entry (that's my guess).
Afcter I deleted both kernels (rpm -e) and ran yum update
which brought in kernel-3.3.6-3, I checked grub.cfg and
it had the correct uuid and I was able to boot it.
I would like to verify my guess re: kernel-3.3.5-2, but I cannot
find the rpm for it anywhere online.

does this happen with other 'top' folders or is it just your Inbox folder?

being that Inbox folder for accounts receive _all_ emails first, it may
be that a filter routine is constantly checking Inbox for new emails.

if high usage does not occur with other 'top' folders, Inbox subfolders to
another 'top' folder.

i use thunderbird for email client and subscribe to thunderbird support
list, where there are a lot of posters complaining about one problem or
another with an Inbox that has subfolders.

when they move subfolders to another part of 'tree', problems go away.

and yes, just like it may be with evolution, there are some users who
have Inbox subfolders and never have problems.

checking other 'top' folders and moving subfolders is an easy thing to
do and may cure your problem.

I don't use Evolution, but I do have a question: is it possible to 
compact its folders, and if so, how long has it been since you did?


I ask because most email programs today organize the folders as 
databases, and when you delete a message, all that happens is that the 
message is marked as deleted; it isn't actually removed.  As time goes 
on, it can take your client more and more time working its way through 
the deleted messages to find the ones you want to see.  Compacting the 
folders rewrite them with all of the deleted cruft left out, making it 
much more efficient.

Evolution consuming 50% cpu on FC 16

[hostmaster]

Hi,

My Inbox has about 20+ sub-folders. If I click on the Inbox folder the cpu 
consumption would spike to 50% and stays there. 
When I click on any of the sub-folders the cpu will go down to 0%.

My Evolution is converted from an old version(FC11). I converted it by first 
creating a backup and then do a restore. I receive email 
by 'Local Delivery' and send email using 'Sendmail'.

Any idea what is causing the 50+% spike in CPU?

Thanks.

Al

You are using F15.  All of the above is true.  F15 currently has
libmtp-1.0.6-5.fc15.i686.rpm.

Your choices.

Use an older version of mtpfs which uses an earlier version of libmtp

or

Upgrade to, at least, F16 which has libmtp-1.1.3-2.fc16.i686

If you are looking for the address of the default interface, you can
fetch based on the default route.  This should work on most systems, as
almost all have a default route, and few have more than one.

- get the default route entry:
  ip route list match 0.0.0.0

- get just the device name:
  ip route list match 0.0.0.0 | sed 's/.* dev \([^ ]*\).*/\1/'

- list the address(es) on the default device:
  ip addr list $(ip route list match 0.0.0.0 | sed 's/.* dev \([^ ]*\).*/\1/')

I don't like to use add-ons, unless they come directly from Mozilla.

clive seems to meet my needs best.

I don't bother with conversion, since most applications (vlc, smplayer, etc) 
play flv 
files. The few times I did try to convert (with kdenlive, avidemux), I noticed 
a 
significant and unacceptable loss in video quality and the files were often 
larger, 
despite the inferior quality.

There appear to be problems with the Network Manager itself.  I don't
know much about it, since networking on my system has always "just
worked" (tm); but here's a log of a little console activity:

KDE Network Manager Applet goes weird

[Jonathan Ryshpan]

After last night's upgrade, the Network Manager applet in the KDE tray
now appears as a red X.  Clicking on it produces a message that the
network manager isn't running, and that I should please start it.  In
fact networking seems to be running just fine.  Has anyone else seen
this?

System is Fedora-16 running on x86_64 hardware; KDE version 4.8.3.  The
applet doesn't identify itself; here's the log of the Network Manager
upgrade:

I always have a similar problem when the kernel on an old i686 laptop is
upgraded, but never have it on my other machine, which has x86_64
hardware.  I can always correct it by running grub2-mkconfig to generate
a new /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file.  This has been reported in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=818715
There are other odd differences in the startup menu.

NetworkManager

[jarmo]

What's wrong with networkmanager? From fedora 15 it has not managed
make automatic connection with mobile broadband. Using nokia c-17
dongle and everything worked ok with f14. But not after. I've seen loud
a much bugreportas about it, but no correction. Is anyone from list
noticed same. Mostly in ubuntu list this is reported, but seems, that
correction is somewhere hiding. Anyone know solution?

The after three weeks part is that I have a day job and a night job,
and trying to keep up with the mailing list is not top priority for
me.

The wake it up part, I guess, is that I really, really think hibernate
is important.

And technical accuracy is also important to me.

You contribute some good things to the list, Riendl, but your field of
vision seems severely limited to your own working set. And some of the
things you say (nothing but greedy RAM policies in any Unix-like OS?
No reason to use a low-power netbook running Fedora on the train?) are
just plain wrong.

When I plug it on another computer, it is also recognize (I can tell
from lsusb) and I never have the option to give the Pin number.
How can I load the interface to give the PIN number?

Thank.

Wow  :-) :-) 

And did you know that one needs to be part of the "wireshark" group to use 
wireshark
as a normal user?  And, you have to part of the "vboxusers" group to gain 
access to
USB devices when using VirtualBox?

This has nothing to do with selinux.  It is normal unix/linux limiting policy.

It's possible but there are a fair number of steps involved.

Use rescue mode (you'll need to in order to resize the rootfs and
partition containing the PV).

Boot into rescue mode and skip the file system detection option then
use lvresize or lvreduce to shrink the file system volumes and their
file systems (specify the --resizefs flag - otherwise you need to do
this as a two-step process, first shrink the file system with e.g.
resize2fs, then shrink the LV that contains it).

Once you've shrunk the LVs you can check to see if the PV can be
resized - use pvresize with the --setphysicalvolumesize option to set
the the PV to the intended size.

If this step fails it will be because there are still extents
allocated to some LVs that are using the space you want to free up
(this is unlikely with the default Fedora layout but can happen with
more complex VGs or VGs that have a lot of allocations taking place).
If this is the case you'll need to use pvmove to relocate those
extents elsewhere (see the pvmove man page).

Once the PV has been reduced in size you can shrink the partition.
Unfortunately there's no good automatic support for this today. Parted
still insists on resizing file systems (but doesn't work with most
common file systems..).

I normally use fdisk: you'll need to remove (delete) the partition you
want to resize and then re-create it with the same starting offset.
The easiest way to do this is to use sector mode (default now) and
make a note of the value in the start column before removing the original.

If you're using a GPT partition table then you can do the same
remove/re-add routine with parted but I prefer fdisk for MBR partition
tables (again, use sector units when modifying the partition).

Regards,
Bryn.

Fedora 15 Unable to connect to serial port

Written by Administrator Thursday, 25 August 2011 20:16

Fedora 15 fails to connect to USB - Serial port or inbuilt serial port

Fedora 15 comes with a restrictive user policy.

Your user account need to be in the dialout group you can accomplish this with the 
command below run as the root user.


usermod -a -G dialout 



What does it have to do with SELinux? It's the plain old UNIX permissions.
In the old(ish) times, you had to be in the "uucp" group to accomplish the same.
