[arch-general] System like glue, High IO Wait.
by Carsten Feuls 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

Hello Everybody, I have some trouble with my ArchLinux Installations. The Systems are very unresponsive (long waiting on gui interaction). In Htop I can see a high CPU wait time,and a high cpu load, but in iftop no IO load is on the drives. I have these Probelem with 3 Arch Installations. These systems run kf5. All installations runs ArchLinux Stable (not testing), and the Installations are up to date. On my parents PC the problem only appear after the last update. I have copy the output to pastebin. http://pastebin.com/E4xnQKhJ For me it looks like a graphics bug. I have downgraded the kernel to an older version but it does not resolve the problem. Maybe anybody know something about that. Or have an larger expertise in investigating this bug. I use archlinux now longer than six years. I have solved much problems. But this bug makes me crazy.. Sincerely yours Carsten Feuls

[arch-general] Sysctl.d configuration ignored (possible pebkac)

Hi! I believe it's a layer 8 error, but I can not change kernel.sysrq at boot to anything else than defined by Arch packages. I read the manpage, wiki and google a few times yet I can't spot my mistake. I have this file: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17 Mar 23 02:05 /etc/sysctl.d/10-sysrq.conf With this content: kernel.sysrq = 1 Yet any time I log in the `kernel.sysrq = 16` parameter from /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf overrides the one I defined above. What did I do wrong? Thank you in advance! Regards, Garmine
