Mageia forum

has anyone else noticed issues with mageia control panel.

for example security - > firewall -> everything , just wont accept changes at all.

also open services tab from system, and its , well dead slow locks up window so you cant scroll, takes for ages to display anything.

quad core phenom1 so not 486.

Sorry, having no such troubles on my end... makes me wonder if something else is running, and eating up your CPU.

Can you open a console, and use the "top" command to see the running programs? Which one(s) are using the most CPU time?

nothing is eating my CPU, system is fully responcive, and running very fast , just the services
screen is running like a dog, has nothing to do with cpu and everything to do with
the way the mga control panel services gui is interacting with systemd

Sorry, I guess I misunderstood the problem. Again.

Wish I could reproduce the problem to help sort it out, but it looks like I won't be much help here. Anyone else experiencing this trouble with the MCC?

i think the problems always been there since mga2 because they are running this whole thing in perl,

i think the interaction with systemd and the perl drakeservices script is just too inefficient now unless you are on peak hardware.

my phenom 6 core 3.3 gig on mga2 has the problem, but its useable, to the point you have to look to see the delays.

my phenom 4 core 2.3 gig on mga3 has the problem , however it is not at all useable.

and i dont think mga2 or 3 can say that a phenom 2.3 gig quad core is just to old.

Agreed, sounds like you have a pretty robust system there. But I'm running on a 1.6 GHz quad-core without this problem. So I'm guessing it's not your hardware at all. Something feels wrong here. Did you do a clean install of M3, or did you upgrade? Just wondering.

clean, from 64 bit dvd

systems a asrock vsta am2 board with geforce 6800gt, phenom1 9650, 4 gig ddr2 800, whatever sata harddrive i had.

There may be a service that is slow to respond. Try running drakxservices in a root terminal and watch the terminal output for lags.

since we have systemd i think the best way to manage services is systemadm

The problem is known here too, drakxservices is quite a bit slow to scroll, since the switch to systemd.

For the firewall issue, you've already posted the solution yourself, no? viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4987

yes, thanks
