I have a Rocky Linux setup going to a Dell 5248 running OS10. LAGs switch to switch work just fine. If I do individual interfaces from Rocky up to the switch, I can ping the switch's VLAN interface no problem. However, when I try to set up a LAG I lose more than half my packets. The LAG is up on Linux:

On the switch side it sees it in ARP, the port channel is up, the VLAN is all setup correctly:

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 on my laptop and today it suddenly started freezing up frequently for seconds on end. When I check the running processes it seems that a process called "upowerd" is hogging up the CPU causing lag spikes rendering my system useless. I tried disabling this service and killing the process hoping to fix it but it keeps starting again. Note, I don't have an iPhone, I have a mouse and a keyboard connected through USB and an external monitor connected through HDMI. My laptops battery is pretty much dead so I always use it connected to the power. Any help is appreciated as I'm not able to play any games or even properly use my laptop anymore. Please let me know if there are any extra info I can provide to help debug the issue. Thanks in advance.

Linux' bond driver can be configured in 7 different link aggregation (LAG) modes (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_aggregation#Linux_drivers) Among them, there's mode 1 (active-backup) and mode 3 (broadcast), which both provide fault tolerance (but no bandwith aggregation). I understand the technical differences between them, but I don't see in which use case you would choose mode 3 (broadcast) over mode 1 (active-backup). I identified two use cases for mode 1 (active-backup) : - It seems as it's the preferred mode to interconnect switches in high-availability mode (HA), according to MicroTik's Linux-based RouterOS documentation : > Active-backup is the best choice in high availability setups with multiple switches that are interconnected. - It can also be used on laptops, to automatically switch from LAN to Wi-Fi when the LAN becomes unavailable (it's what Debian calls "Laptop-Mode" ). But I can't find a use case for mode 3 (broadcast) : - This site says that : > This mode is beneficial in environments requiring consistent and reliable data broadcasting to ensure simultaneous data receipt by all recipients - Red Hat states that : > The drawback of this mode is that it is not suitable for heavy workloads and if TCP throughput or ordered packet delivery is essential. I don't really understand those statements. A practical use case example where mode 3 (broadcast) would be chosen over mode 1 (active-backup) would maybe help me understand, but I didn't find any. Any idea ?

I have had Mint on this machine for over 3/4 years now, but either due to an update/upgrade , the machine goes to 100% about once an hour, ( showing on the desktop mini) . Problem is , I can't figure out from when. What I installed during that time , is Tauon, Bottles, some config with the Dosbox emulator. And timeshift moved to a HDD.

OS is Debian 12. Got a brand new disk to use as a backup for a disk currently in use. For the initial rsync, my system starts to lag and freeze for maybe half a second at a time. This is especially noticeable when playing back audio. Load average jumps from ~5 to ~15 during the rsync. What is going on here? I know it's rsync because the instant I kill the process, audio playback goes back to normal. Trying to run with lowest cpu priority and lowest io priority like so: sudo nice -n 19 ionice -c 3 rsync -a --sparse --delete --info=progress2 /mnt/src/ /mnt/dest Running with sudo as a few files are owned by root and I want to be sure those get copied. How can I run rsync so my system doesn't freeze? Also I know it's not an issue with these specific disks, as I have tried other combinations of disks and I get the same issue. I also had this same problem on my older system, which used entirely different disks and motherboard.

I have a laptop with EndeavourOS on it. It has a Core i3-4405U (4) 1,6Ghz, and it's sometimes lagging, e.g. if I start a program like Firefox or a game like Minecraft. It just starts lagging so much that even the mouse is lagging, and nothing works anymore. The fan is speeding up, and my HDD is starting to spin like crazy. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Sadly the issue reported and described here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/149029/pernicious-usb-stick-stall-problem-reverting-workaround-fix and https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/474216/is-writeback-throttling-a-solution-to-the-usb-stick-stall-problem continues to be unresolved in modern Linux distros as of 2024 despite the availability of the BDI interface introduced in Linux 6.2 released in February 2023. This can be addressed by a simple udev rule invoking a script which sets sane writeback cache values for USB mass storage devices.

run this in terminal with internet off: while true;do sudo -n uptime 2>/dev/null;echo "date($((i++)))";sleep 0.1;done now turn internet on (WIFI here). The log will happen now every 5s to 10s... How to make sudo ignore internet? Also, why it behaves like that? Obs.: ubuntu 22.04 PS.: I use sudo -n uptime to alert if the terminal has sudo access (I color it all in red). So I get that problem on every command I run in the terminal. a log with the delays when WIFI is ON:

I've been using GNU/Linux for the past 4 years now, and am closely following the progress of stuff like Wayland and Nvidia support. I think the progress achieved last year is awesome. Wayland however isn't stable enough for daily use at the time of writing this. I've had random stutters in x11 since forever (mostly when dragging windows and some animations) and I've been looking for a fix for as long as I've used GNU/Linux. So far the only solution I've seen work for me is using Wayland/XWayland. I recently got a 165hz monitor and the difference is even more noticeable and it freaks me out. I can't wait for Wayland to be more stable but until then I've got to use x11. So, is there anything I can do to improve/fix the random UI stutters? I'm using the latest Nvidia proprietary driver but I've seen no difference when using older versions. I also have "Prefer Maximum Performance" in nvidia-settings. This also happens with any DE I've tested. Note: When I say stutters what I'm really saying is when moving an application window it looks like the window would render at 165 fps and randomly drop to <= 60 for a few seconds and then go back to normal.

# Introduction Recently I accomplished a brand new installation of PopOS 20.10 standard image (not NVIDIA one). I have Intel UHD Graphics 620 (rev. 7) / i7-8650U installed. # Problem statement I noticed a very laggy UI, just the same way when you don't have Intel graphics drivers installed on your Windows machine.
I.e. when you view animations while surfing the web in your browser. # Solution Just move to Wayland from X11 and that should resolve the issue for 100% *(that did for me)*. # Guideline

# Edit GDM3 configuration
# set (or add this entry if missing) WaylandEnable=true
sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
# Restart the GDM3 daemon
sudo systemctl restart gdm3

Now you should see PopOS on Wayland on the login screen under gear button. Choose that option.  # Check which display protocol is being used

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

I have a non-stellar SSH connection to some machine; the echo time is... I don't know, 0.2 seconds or so. Anyway, when I start vim, say with no input file, I experience a long delay, of about 3 to 4 seconds, which - when I connect over a lower-latency SSH connection (i.e. within the same network segment), I don't experience. This delay is _before_ vim has written anything to the terminal, and hence before it can expect me to input anything - so I'm wondering what's causing it to try to communicate over the connection, and what exactly it's communicating. I used strace -rr, looking for differences of over 0.1 seconds, and noticed a bunch of these lines:

0.284973 recvfrom(3, "\1\0\v\0\0\0\340\1", 8, 0, NULL, NULL) = 8
     0.133300 recvmsg(3, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\1\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\1\205\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", iov_len=4096}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 32
     0.138255 recvmsg(3, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\1\0\2\0\0\0\0\0\377\377?\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", iov_len=4096}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 32
     0.148123 recvmsg(3, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\1\10\4\0M\1\0\0\37\0\0\0\0\0\0\0001\5\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., iov_len=4096}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 1364

(and this repeats itself again and again.) What's going on with these messages? And - how can I make vim skip these communications attempts and just come up faster?

I am sure many PC users have experienced slow downs on their computers over time (mine is about a year old), but this scenario I find strange. **The Problem** At about 5:30PM yesterday I was browsing the web and running commands (mainly trying to change my background in a shell script). I had a few different web pages open when I noticed huge amounts of lag. I tried closing all windows and nothing changed. I could tell by moving my mouse across the screen that it would freeze for a small period of time every second. I assumed a restart would handle it, but the lag persisted. The next day I started my PC and everything seemed normal, but after opening a few windows the lag started again. I noticed it started and stopped randomly, sometimes happening right when I booted and it would even go away sometimes. This is when I started to try and find the problem. **Possible causes** 1) The last thing I can remember doing before the lag is running # gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file:///home/jonas/Pictures/dark-wallpaper.jpeg. This command did not work (I was trying to change the background). 2) A bit earlier I tried to install banshee by adding the repository # sudo add-apt-repository ppa:banshee-team/ppa. This threw an error so I removed the repository with the -r option. I also tried to install 'lyrebird' with # sudo dpkg -i lyrebird_1.1.0-3.deb which I had downloaded from Github. Both attempts were unsuccessful. **What I've tried** 1) Run clamscan on my home directory folder (0 viruses detected) 2) Check system monitor for possible resource intensive programs. I compared a screenshot of it when lag wasn't happening and when it was, there were no differences. I doubt anyone will be able to give me an exact cause, but even just a suggestion on how to find the problem will mean a lot.

I changed my distribution from Ubuntu 22.04 to Debian 11 because it was a complete mess but it was fast, I think it's because Ubuntu uses proprietary drivers for my Intel HD Graphics. Switching back to Debian 11, everything is working fine but my laptop can't handle multiple tabs or multiple open software windows at a time, it freezes and I have to shut it down manually... My question is : how can I install the non-free drivers for my Intel HD Graphics ? I don't seem to find any tutorial or articles about that, there's only the integrated kernel driver mentioned in the Debian Wiki... Thanks for your help :)

- Processor: AMD A8-6600K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 3.90 GHz - Installed RAM: 8.00 GB (7.20 GB usable) - System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor - Pen and touch: No pen or touch input is available for this display - HARD DISK DRIVE: TOSHIBA(every os uses the same hard disk with the same amount of partition) This is my computers specification. Now my question is when run Windows 10 on my computer it is literally faster(performance, dragging an application, startup of an application etc.) than running Linux (arch base{KDE PLASMA}, Debian base tried{KDE PLASMA}). I don't know why it happens, but it really annoys me because I know linux should run faster on my PC as it consumes less RAM and moreover the desktop is blurry too in Linux rather than Windows. Will ubuntu give me more better performance than arch or debian?

Is there a way to reduce the lag between psychically moving the mouse until it moves on the screen? I'm using Manjaro KDE Edition (17.1.10).

I followed the instructions on Arch Linux Wiki and managed to set up sound playback thorugh bluetooth. However, there is a serious lag when using A2DP profile. No problems when using the headset profile except for unacceptable sound quality. When the profile is set from headset to A2DP there is no lag for a while but it'll kick in sooner or later. What could I do to solve the bluetooth A2DP playback latency problem?

Good day!
Trying to install linux on new SSD but everytime, no matter what i do, even in LiveCD linux freezes and i have to restart PC from button. Tried to install PopOS, Fedora and Debian. Also used Ubuntu livecd.
PopOS just freezes before installing
Fedora one tried to install, got bootloader error(i think because i used automatic disk partitioning and needed to make /boot/efi manually). But then LiveCD just freezed to death..
Debian installed successfully, but got kernel-panic when i tried to apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. Then freezed to death.
Ubuntu LiveCD worked well for little more time than others, but got death freeze when i tried to use GParted So, the question is, does LiveCD has logs? How i can find a reason of this freeze?
Definately this is drivers problem.
Hardware:
Gigabyte B450 Gaming X
AMD 3500X
GeForce 1650
2 HDD(file storage NTFS), 2 SSD 2.5(one for windows NTFS and one for linux ext4+efi boot partition) and one M2(NTFS for games)
Linux freezes almost everytime i try to do disks operation(like partitioning). But i tried to do it only with SSD for linux(ext4)...
Only thing that i got in mind, is that i need to debug this debian kernel-panic, at least installed system has logs.

Lately my Cinnamon desktop environment (running on Linux Mint 18.2) has been a bit... laggy. Mouse movement is 100% fine; however every scrolling, window-moving, highlighting, video playing (as it seems to me, things that update window content) causes 100% CPU spikes on one core for half a second, repeating with 1-2 sec period, freezing whatever I was doing. Disk usage stays low during it. This also causes videos to desynchronize with their sound. Needless to say, it's extremely annoying. Between the lags it works as it should. My computer should handle Cinnamon well - Linux is installed on an SSD (though some directories, like ~HOME, are on an HDD), I have 4GB RAM and an i5 3.2gHz CPU, and running from a Raedon 5770 GPU (built-in driver).

I'm experiencing lagging on my linux laptop. For example, sometimes, when I switch tabs by clicking in the browser, the click doesn't get registered for around 5 seconds and then the webpage itself loads 5 more seconds. Sometimes when I type in my text editor the symbols and the edits appear some 2 seconds later. **Please help me figure out why that is**. I am running an arch-based distro on a 2014 MacBook Pro, with lxqt/i3 (which I consider to be pretty lightweight - no overhead there), I tested this behavior in my main Firefox with a lot of extensions and on a clean install of Firefox - same lagging persists. I am also running power-profiles-deamon and switched to the balanced profile (didn't help too). I am also monitoring cpu frequency with bpytop - it is all over the place (800MHz-2.0GHz-3.1GHz), but the CPU load is always around 10-20% and the temps are around 60-70C. I have a fan manager daemon running and the fan spins under heavy load. I am on a WiFi connection right now, and can't test the browser behavior with a wired connection (but I'm sure the editor has nothing to do with connection speed). I would like to know, **how to make the laptop perform these tasks faster** (at a higher clock speed, possibly with a higher load and at the expense of battery life which I don't care about). My boot clock is 3.4GHz.
