| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> Hello everyone, just now I have shifted from Kubuntu to Ubuntu OS on my main laptop, but after finishing the installation, post Reboot the CPU usage is 100% due to the systemd_journal process... | 01:35 |
|---|---|---|
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> When earlier I was using Kubuntu, I found this solution to get out of this systemd_journal issue and it did work but when I applied the same on Ubuntu OS nothing happened. Still, CPU usage is 100%. | 01:35 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> I know this group is made for Kubuntu support only but still if i can get some help from anyone, it would be really appreciated..thanks (re @Student: The systemd-journald is service in Linux OS that collects and stores the logging data. | 01:35 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> On some Linux distributions it is often found that systemd-journald service is consuming more than 90% or some times nearly 100% of CPU resources. | 01:35 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> So here's a fix for this problem... | 01:35 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> Open your terminal and type following command.(You can use text editor of your choice.) | 01:35 |
| tomreyn | Student: systemd-journald is the systemd system logging / journalling daemon. it stores system log files which you can inspect using the journalctl command. if the daemon is keeping the cpu busy, this might be because it is logging a LOT. and that may be because something is malfunctioning,spewing out lines that are to be logged all the time. | 03:04 |
| tomreyn | journalctl -f will show the logs lines as they are being added. if running this command writes a lot of repeating lines to screen then find out what it is that logs this, and stop / fix it. | 03:05 |
| tomreyn | https://linuxtechos.blogspot.com/2018/11/solvedhigh-cpu-usage-by-systemd.html (which you seem to have quoted above) is old, i also don't see how the supposed fix (workaround rather) is (directly) related to the symptom - it may just have helped this one persons' computer, but i would not expect it to be a universal solution to this problem. | 03:06 |

| BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:22 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> Can you please suggest some YouTube video or article that will guide me to understand and help to resolve this issue step by step.. thanks (re @IrcsomeBot: <tomreyn> journalctl -f will show the logs lines as they are being added. if running this command writes a lot of repeating lines to screen then find out what it is that logs this, and stop / fix it.) | 13:03 |
| tomreyn | Student: I was looking for some web page describing the symptom and providing a general approach to identifying the root cause yesterday, but could not really. this one (from a debian user) describes the symptoms well enough: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/606291/systemd-journald-and-rsyslogd-high-cpu-usage | 13:15 |
| tomreyn | it also discusses some commands you can use to get a better idea of what the root cause may be, just as i suggested running journalctl -f yesterday | 13:16 |
| tomreyn | have you done so, yet? | 13:16 |
| omegatron | hm, my KMail crashes at startup (Kubuntu 21.0.4); in the crash report window, following the "How to create useful crash reports" link (because of some lines with '??'), it tells me to instal -dbgsym packages.. well how would I do that? apt-cache doesn't find them and the Muon Package Manager is not helpful at all ... | 13:31 |

| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> I think the issue got resolved itself😂. When first I installed Ubuntu on my laptop, the CPU usage was 100%, so I changed "quiet splash" to "pci=nomsi" in the grub file, but the issue did not resolve by changing it. So I texted here to get some help. | 14:42 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> Today, after seeing your message, | 14:42 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> I reverted the same settings by replacing "pci=nomsi" with "quiet splash" to get the output of this command (journalctl -f) but before running this command, I checked my CPU usage and now I am not getting any high CPU usage...😁 it's normal... (re @IrcsomeBot: <tomreyn> have you done so, yet?) | 14:42 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> How do i play .ts file on Ubuntu? Default player doesn't support .ts file and VLC player does support it but the problem with VLC player is that, it's very lagging when i tried to forward/backward the video and there is some delay in video and audio on vlc(same issue was with windows earlier and now with linux) | 15:06 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> On windows, pot Player was perfect to play .ts file without any lagging and it was very smooth but on Linux OS the pot player is still not available. | 15:06 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> So is there any other video players, which works smooth? | 15:06 |
| BluesKaj | VLC and Smplayer do very well on Linux | 15:08 |
| mybalzitch | tried mplayerc ? | 15:08 |
| mybalzitch | that might be old software now | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | it's not old it's up to date | 15:09 |
| BluesKaj | I use both VLC and Smplayer on Kubuntu dev release 21.10 which I'm testing atm, and both players work very well, nice and smooth | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | later all, take care | 15:54 |
| tomreyn | Student: i still doubt that botting with "pci=nomsi" is a magical fix to solve whatever yet unknown root cause that drives up cpu load on systemd-journald. what may happen is that adding "pci=nomsi" removes functionality which now prevents the root cause from occurring. maybe. we don't really know for lack of details. | 16:24 |

| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> Ok, will try this later and let you know, my daily Internet data got exhausted now. (re @IrcsomeBot: <BluesKaj> VLC and Smplayer do very well on Linux) | 17:36 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> Thanks for the suggestions, will try and let you know. (re @IrcsomeBot: <mybalzitch> tried mplayerc ?) | 17:36 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> Don't know about smplayer, but did you tried to play .ts format file on VLC? I am sure you will face lagging issue on VLC.. (re @IrcsomeBot: <BluesKaj> I use both VLC and Smplayer on Kubuntu dev release 21.10 which I'm testing atm, and both players work very well, nice and smooth) | 17:38 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> Rightly said, without knowing the root causes we can't say anything... But in the future, if I face a similar issue, then first I'll run the "journalctl -f" command & will take a screenshot and I'll share it with you to find the root causes.. thanks for the help buddy😇. Appreciated. (re @IrcsomeBot: <tomreyn> Student: i still doubt that botting with "pci=nomsi" is a magical fix to solve whatever yet unknown root cause that drives up cpu | 17:43 |
| tomreyn | you're welcome | 17:48 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> I Will try it later, thanks 😇 (re @IrcsomeBot: <ubottu> Student: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> Need some suggestion, my friend wants to buy a VPN so he asked me. But you all are more experienced then me so which one you suggest? | 18:10 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> His primary requirements are :- | 18:10 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> 1) no log privacy | 18:10 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> 2) unblock sites | 18:10 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> 3) faster speed | 18:10 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> Checked on the internet, most people are saying to go for Nord and Express VPN. | 18:10 |
| oerheks | VPN choice is not a Kubuntu support issue | 18:11 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> Ok, i was just asking for suggestion, but no problem..thanks | 18:12 |

| Mekaneck | @Student keep in mind that this IRC channel and Telegram group is tailored at support for Kubuntu not Ubuntu | 22:38 |
| Mekaneck | And afaik you can't get a restore option for timeshift in grub | 22:39 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Student> Ok, good bye | 22:41 |
