I come back once more after being fed up with my systems performance. Is there anyone of you claiming to have some insight in tweaking some components? Currently, I can hardly open the browser without it crashing by running out of RAM, let alone multiple apps [09:40] Damn ... I installed LibreOffice applications in Libertine (after fixing the keyboard before that) and noticed a strange thing ... If in all applications (for example, Firefox and Midori) the keyboard is called, then for example in Xterm and in LibreOffice the keyboard is not called ... Strange keyboard logic ...

I don't expect to watch youtube videos and have a lot of apps open, but it is really annoying when I cannot even share a picture on telegram because both apps keep starving each other [10:03] clean installed needed sometimes ;-) [10:03] [Edit] clean install needed sometimes ;-) [10:03] I was thinking maybe there are some components I can disable? I didn't see anything promising in services though [10:04] i often listen to youtube music in background, while browsing without issues [10:04] @peternerlich [yes, but they were pretty good initially. I don't expect to watch youtube videos …], Yes sharing pictures can be PITA I know. Still, it will be hard to optimize this. Most newer devices we have are 2GB+, most even 3or 4GB, so its really questionable how much effort we can/should put into this. [10:04] @lduboeuf [clean install needed sometimes ;-)], I tried that some time ago and was disappointed that I had only little relief [10:04] @peternerlich [I was thinking maybe there are some components I can disable?

I cannot i …], You are welcome to try, but idk if you will able to reduce mem consumption there. Its basically Qt/QML based, so we rely on what Qt framework think is appropriate. But well you can try. … Another story is that if you would stream file conte [10:07] nt to/from content-hub then maybe there is less mem consumption. But also there, at some point the image must go to memory, and then it goes boom [10:07] maybe cache clean ? [10:08] @lduboeuf [maybe cache clean ?], how do I do that? or do you mean the browser? [10:09] yes, with Tweak Tool [10:09] @lduboeuf [maybe cache clean ?], Nah on BQ devices you frequently run out of ram thats known [10:09] nothing to do with cache [10:09] yes, but i'm still surprised how well it still works ;-) ( not always ) [10:11] @lduboeuf [yes, with Tweak Tool], uh, couldn't find it in there with a quick look [10:13] @peternerlich [Hi again, lovely people of the UT community! I come back once more after being f …], I have two BQ E4.5. One UBPorts and the other Canonical - the performance differences are minimal in my opinion. Of course, this is very old equipment, so don't expect miracles.

[10:53] preferently in landscape [10:53] it should post of memory info [10:54] [Edit] it should post some memory info [10:55] @lduboeuf [what is your use case where it hangs ?], - I have Teleports open to chat here … - I open the browser to search whether there are something like light versions of qt … - the browser takes some seconds to show me the initial blank tab page after the splash screen … - the browser starts loading the last open page (duckduckgo) [10:55] , the loading bar is somewhere in the middle, there is nothing rendered to screen yet. usually at this moment I can already see the other app killed by the pixelated 'screenshot' in the app switcher thing … - the browser finishes loading and displaying duckduckgo, with a bit of luck it doesn't get killed within the next few seconds. More loaded pag [10:55] es tend to trigger the killing beforw the page can finish loading.

[11:22] no, terminal [11:22] you must remote into the device, it won't work properly otherwise [11:24] hm, I will take a break and try later again [11:25] alright [11:52] cuscus_1871 was added by: cuscus_1871 [14:57] @lduboeuf [humm the "/" partition is almost full], it is a loopback mount and readonly, so yes, that is true on all devices [14:58] the problem is not disk usage [14:58] and with 336M available, it should be fine otherwise [15:14] yeah but iirc there's a lot more thatn 26MB free on the rootfs by default [15:14] nope [15:14] [Edit] yeah but iirc there's a lot more thatn 29MB free on the rootfs by default [15:15] at least a 100MB by memory i've installed things up to 80MB into the rootfs for experimentations [15:15] [Edit] at least a 100MB by memory i've installed things up to 80MB into the rootfs for experiments [15:15] [Edit] at least a 100MB by memory, i've installed things up to 80MB into the rootfs for experiments [15:16] nope [15:21] presumably with it being a loopback device it'll basically always show as 'full'? and then when you choose to add stuff to it it'll just get bigger but still remain full [15:21] or am I thinking of something else [15:22] I think it depends on the device … I remember the root was almost full by default … right now, it seems that i have around 200mb free on my Nexus 5 [15:22] @Fuseteam [at least a 100MB by memory, i've installed things up to 80MB into the rootfs for …], well, "legacy" devices are different [15:22] my xperia x has GBs 😄 [15:22] legacy devices have different partition layout and not using loopback mount [15:22] for a 'real' idea of how much space it's taking you'd want to check the actual physical disk partition rather than the loopback device [15:23] so i guess that just means @peternerlich installed some stuff with apt or something [15:24] but really, the described issues don't sound like a problem with storage space [15:25] esp given there's >1GB free on `/userdata` [15:26] @PiecerEdd [presumably with it being a loopback device it'll basically always show as 'full' …], nah you definitely had a limit [15:26] @dohbee [well, "legacy" devices are different], he's talking about a BQ E4.5 fwiw [15:26] I actually didn't continue trying to ssh and reapply the image yet, but I had the thought of checking the swappiness... and was surprised to it turned up to 100. That's not the default on UT, is it? [15:27] @Fuseteam [he's talking about a BQ E4.5 fwiw], but still, free space on `/` is irrelevant, since it's supposed to be read only [15:27] [Edit] I actually didn't continue trying to ssh and reapply the image yet, but I had the thought of checking the swappiness... and was surprised to it turned up to 100. That's not the default on UT, is it? … I set it to 80 for testing whether it improves anything. Not sure so far. [15:27] @peternerlich [I actually didn't continue trying to ssh and reapply the image yet, but I had th …], it's not actually swap. it is zRAM [15:27] so 50% of the RAM is compressed to give you more RAM [15:27] @dohbee [so i guess that just means @peternerlich installed some stuff with apt or someth …], that's my guess yes, if whatever he installed is related to it is another story [15:28] but it clearly also says "336M available" in the `free -h` output, so RAM should not be an issue either [15:28] the issue is weird nevertheless [15:29] if it isn't storage and it isn't memory, that leaves the cpu maybe? 🤔 [15:29] well it isn't amount of storage/RAM [15:30] that doesn't mean eMMC or RAM can't be electronically faulty [15:30] heh good point [15:30] but it could also be some extra thing installed in rootfs causing problems, too [15:30] so "clean install of stable channel" would be a good place to start [15:31] yeah agreed [15:32] Just flashing a redmi note 7 seems stuck on preparing system image how long does that part … Take any ideas [15:32] @By brian All rights reserved [Just flashing a redmi note 7 seems stuck on preparing system image how long does …], did you have android 10 on it before?
