Sound Hangs, Slow Desktop with Dapper Flt 4

[reh4c]

I have installed all Dapper Flt versions on my Fujitsu FMV-Biblo LOOX T86A (Transmeta Crusoe 867Mhz, 512 MB RAM, and ATI Rage Mobility P/M graphics chip) . All Dapper flights have been terribly slow to login and use GNOME. Also, with Flight 4, sound hangs (i.e. continuous drum roll when logging in). Then, GNOME is very slow...virtually unresponsive. What debug output do you need to fix this bug? By the way, boot time is great on this machine (a little more than 1 minute); it used to take 3-4 minutes to boot up with Breezy. Now, I just need to get the desktop working better.

Thanks for your bugreport.

About gnome being slow, can you please open the system monitor (System/Administration/System Montior) and look at the cpu time column.

thanks,
 Michael

After installing Flt 4, the login sound hung as it had for several daily iso builds since approximately 12 Feb. However, when the GNOME desktop finally finished loading, the update notifier popped up. I updated my system and restarted. On this login, I did not encounter the "rolling drum" hang. Also, the desktop seemed to have decent responsiveness (at least as good as Breezy). I don't want to close this bug yet. I'll do a full install of the next Ubuntu Beta to see if sound hangs on the initial login. By the way, my CPU % stayed around 99% during the login process, but dropped significantly after that. Firefox still uses a lot of CPU when loading-close to 100% for 15-20 seconds. Thanks.

After installing Flt 5, sound still hangs on the initial startup of the desktop. However, after a reboot, sound functions properly (i.e. no "rolling drum"). First time run of the system must have an issue. This bug should remain open until sound works properly from the start. Thanks.

I'm having the same issue on my Fuji Lifebook 2120(same specs as above, except 256 ram), both on flight 5 and I've recently done a clean install using the Flt 6 live disk. Whenever I hear the "hung" drum beat, I can reboot and it works fine, but just about every other boot will have the stuck sound.

Is there anything runing in the background (maybe you can switch to a terminal and run top during login) that is very cpu intensive and could cause the distubtion?

[Joel Stephens (jbstep)]

running top in a terminal during login shows that top is the highest cpu intensive program at ~1 to 1.6 %CPU

"Rolling drum" sound bug appears to be fixed with Dapper 6.06 final. Please close this bug, unless others are still having the problem. Thanks.

thank you for the comment, marking as fixed then
