OS: OpenSuSE Tumbleweed
Using latest KDE 5.20.2
Latest kernel: 5.10.9-rc3.1.ge72caa5-default
INTEL PC:
16 GB RAM
i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40 GHz
AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series (Its a PCI-Express 7850)
The Intel PCs Motherboard iGPU is also used
AMD PC:
8GB RAM
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Processor
AMD RS880 - HAS NO VIDEO CARD
Has anybody noticed delays/lags recently ?
Symptoms:
Some apps seem to be very heavily delayed to start after running:
There is now an apparent delay (black screen) for maybe 10-20 seconds after the initial OpenSuSE boot screen
Krusader File Manager takes me 1 min, 40 secs to actually bring up a window
Some of the functions in system settings are delayed by as much as 20-30 seconds
Sometimes sound is unavailable (muted) upon boot-up
Intermittently the start menu stops responding (freezes)
Logging out is ok, but waiting for SDDM login screen is a problem
Sometimes massive delays - sometimes minutes
of waiting for terminal to display something after
entering password after command sudo zypper dup
It should be noted that i have the exact same OS on both an i5 Quad Core with 16 GB Ram and an AMD hex-core with 8GB RAM
Both PCs are kept 100% Fully up to date with all latest updates - kernel and otherwise
Same Symptoms on BOTH PCs
Same Symptoms under other Desktop Environment
Booting into an Earlier Kernel version (v5.9) that had no problems makes no differance
SYMPTOMS ON OTHER DESKTOP ENVIRONMENTS:
Xfce:(AMD & INTEL PC)
Krusader File Manager no longer works - attempting to
make window full screen size results
in an outline to appear, and then app just stops
Enlightenment
Krusader File Manager same load up lag/delays
Lxqt - AMD PC:
Krusader File Manager same load up lag/delays
Plasma (Wayland) - AMD PC:
Both main 32" and 14" monitors swapped over (small one is primary desktop)
Dragging anything around on 32" Monitor results in a sort of ‘windows’ graphics smearing (copies of graphics)
I have had these symptoms for approxx the last 3 weeks now
Issues appear to have started just before main upgrade from kernel 5.9 to kernel 5.10
I have upgraded ALL the time right up until the last 2 hours

3400G:~ #
Both PC’s have SSD’s which OpenSuSE is installed on
Skype also has a huge delay in running as well
Degraded Efficiency in large data handling
Demonstrates in selecting 900 emails in inbox on
Seamonkey to ‘Drag’n’Drop’ into another email folder
Note that ALL these emails are cached/stored locally in
the Seamonkey profiles folder
SSD activity happening
SSD LED has been consistently flickering ON/OFF
(Not the commonly seen ON NON-STOP)
Attempting to “drag” all selected emails does nothing
KDE PLASMA does not appear to give any recognition
of the users choice of “Holding down the left mouse
button and moving the mouse”
Un-Selecting all the emails, and selecting about 300 DID work
Selecting another 600 emails also worked, but one notices
a slight apparent KDE PLASMA “Delay” of about 1 second
of struggling before finally accepting the Drag
I have been using BTRFS for both / and homes on both of my PC’s
That original issue i posted about is now gone - I think i had re-installed OpenSuSE Tumbleweed
However, the link above that you posted does seem to explain the slow file copying to/from an External USB 3.0 BTRFS drive i have
Hopefully the devs will corect the issue soon
