It is to be praised that the IT engineer knows the details, but I fail 
to see why it should be applauded that the IT engineer shows off knowing 
the details in a pedantic way ;-)

Anyway, instead of spending energy arguing over trivial matters, both 
parties maybe can redirect their energies at something more positive? 
You both have a point guys, but please refrain from letting your 
emotions get into it.

Ah, I misunderstood your hint then. Well, I don't know which file 
contains the history, but if it is places.sqlite that would be 11 MiB.


I don't have many bookmarks - bookmarks.html is only 20 kiB.


Thanks for the command, but I don't understand what it does, so I won't 
try it. If I read "executeSimpleSQL("VACUUM")", I fear it would delete 
things I want to keep.

Actually I'm not really worried about the startup delay. I just 
mentioned my observations of the unrelated slow NFS share because it 
might give others a hint where to look for their slow firefox start.

No, just the opposite - the cache would be loaded when you start FF but 
you clear it so this is not a possible cause. However, what about 
History? how big is it?

I have a rather large Bookmarks file and I have noticed that FF takes 
just a bit longer to start nowadays, but it doesn't worry me.

I did read sometime ago that 'to make Firefox leaner and meaner' one 
should clear out the sqlite databases occasionally. The command to do 
this - in console as root, and put command all on the 1 (one) line:

Components.classes["< at >mozilla.org/browser/nav-history-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsPIPlacesDatabase).DBConnection.executeSimpleSQL("VACUUM");

Re: Ubuntu 13.04 Suffers Performance

Nils Kassube — 2013-06-19T05:58:41

Yes, I clear the cache but not the history. Do you suggest that a 
startup delay could be caused by an empty cache?

Re: Issue while doing rsync from ubuntu mirrors

Jared Norris — 2013-06-19T05:49:17


Is the error the same for both mirrors you are trying to use?  Does the
rsync start off from where it finished last time? I rsync from aarnet
regularly and don't face any problems although it must be said I don't use
as much switches. If it helps, my command is:

rsync -vtlrh --ipv4 --progress --stats --delete --exclude .~tmp~/
www.mirror.aarnet.edu.au::ubuntu /media/Repository/ubuntu/

I would start with trying to eliminate errors from the mirror end and
internet connectivity end (connection reset by peer seems a bit
connectivity related rather than rsync related according to the samba help
site - question 3 at http://rsync.samba.org/issues.html). Otherwise perhaps
give my working one a try and see if it runs all the way though. If that
works, I'm at a loss and hopefully someone else can chime in.

Issue while doing rsync from ubuntu mirrors

Mail List — 2013-06-19T05:37:18

Hi All,

We are facing an issue while rsyncing packages from the ubuntu mirrors. 

The commands we used are as the following
----
/usr/bin/rsync -avzH --bwlimit=50000 --delay-updates --delete --exclude-from=/opt/crucial_mirror/ubuntu-exclude-list.txt --exclude "Packages*" --exclude "Sources*" --exclude "Release*" rsync://mirror.uber.com.au/ubuntu/archive/ /distros/ubuntu;

/usr/bin/rsync -avzH --bwlimit=50000 --delay-updates --delete --exclude-from=/opt/crucial_mirror/ubuntu-exclude-list.txt rsync://mirror.uber.com.au/ubuntu/archive/ /distros/ubuntu;
----

The command will start rsync process, however after a few hours, it will get failed with an error message like this:
----------
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(759) [receiver=3.0.6]
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (21172499 bytes received so far) [generator]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [generator=3.0.6]
----------

You, on the other hand, are a semi-literate loudmouth with a childish

Do you clear the cache (and possibly history etc) when you shutdown Firefox?

Find out which package caused the problem and try to reconfigure it using
dpkg.

I usually run 'sudo aptitude update' and 'sudo aptitude upgrade' to resolve
conflicts or mis-configured packages...

Good Luck,

Amichai.

Indeed there is no such option. I suppose it isn't even related to NFS 
and I would possibly see a similar delay, if I had a slow USB stick 
mounted (e.g. via USB 1.0). Maybe it is a "feature" of one of the 
libraries used by firefox which is more a side effect than intentional 
behaviour. At least avidemux-gtk has the same behaviour. I don't know 
about other applications because I don't use too many gtk-applications 
(I prefer KDE). 


It doesn't matter if the share is unmounted or if there is no traffic on 
the link - in both cases firefox starts with the normal speed.


It would be nice if you would refrain from top-posting (see 
<http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailing-lists> chapter

deliberately as more and more modern PCs don't have one, they have UEFI
firmware instead.


What a pretentious ass. Those of us out in the field actually working on
computers for a living, and who hang out online have been writing it as
'bios' for many years. The same way people write cd-rom, dvd, and many other
acronyms. 

It has the same meaning no matter how its capitalized. It's an acronym. Your
point is meaningless.

If you had ever actually looked at any of the motherboard manufactures
websites for a bios, you'll find on most that even the newest, uefi-based
models direct you to click on 'bios' to find the area the op is looking for.


And I won't mention that you missed the point entirely that the op seemed
confused because of your lack of explanation about what you wanted him to
do. I was clarifying. 

I won't mention it because you claim to have read these emails out of order.
Fair enough.

You're still an ass, "Proven"

Re: Ubuntu 13.04 Suffers Performance

Istimsak Abdulbasir — 2013-06-18T19:15:50

That is weird. I did not see an option in firefox that gives it the option
to check for NFS files systems.

Have you tried unmouting your NFS share and then start firefox. If your NFS
is being heavily accessed, then this could delay the startup of firefox.
Too many simultaneous reads.

I'm not sure about LO and I don't use TB, but for firefox I always have 
a huge startup delay if one of my NFS shares is responding slowly 
(that's on a WLAN with heavy trafic). I have no idea why firefox has a 
reason to check remote file systems.

John R. Sowden — 2013-06-18T17:41:50

I do not have a hanging problem, but I am definitely seeing a reduction 
in performance.  I often count 10 seconds from a click to having 
firefox, TB, LO on my screen.  This did not used to be the case.  I 
wonder if we are experiencing code bloat.  It seems that more programs 
require many other programs to work, instead of just compiled code.  
This may also be a 'time to market' issue.

Re: only one ping from router

Colin Law — 2013-06-18T16:28:30

If it was all working and then suddenly stopped it could be hardwar.
Try swapping ethernet cables with one of the working machines if
possible (leave the cables plugged into their original connections in
the router so that you are checking the cable and connection at the
router).  Also try disconnecting all other PCs from the router in case
you have somehow got two with the same IP address.

In Network Manager > Connection Information does it show the Default
Route and DNS servers correctly?

only one ping from router

Josh Stratton — 2013-06-18T16:10:59

The internet on my desktop suddenly stopped working while watching a video.
 I don't think anything has changed recently as far as configuration goes.
 It seems like the eth0 interface is getting an IP address from my router,
but I can only ping myself.  dns names don't resolve like if I ping
yahoo.com.  If I ping the router at 192.168.0.1, I seem to only get one
response back before it hangs and times out.  I've been trying to debug
this myself, but I'm unfamiliar with what files are used for what now.

Is there something I can do to fix networking?  Other computers attached to
the router don't seem to be having any issues.
