Public bug reported: Binary package hint: distributed-net
The package summary says there should be no noticeable slowdown when running the distributed.net client, however, with recent changes in the way the Linux kernel handles process niceness, this is no longer true (processes with nice 19 are no longer entirely preempted). The solution is to set the real time attributes of the process with the chrt command. This can be accomplished by changing line ~54 in /etc/init.d/distributed-net from: su daemon -c "$DAEMON $OPTIONS" to su daemon -c "chrt -b 0 $DAEMON $OPTIONS" This changes the scheduling to batch, with the lowest priority. ** Affects: distributed-net (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- incorrect scheduling attributes set for distributed.net client https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307826 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
