Find out why my Dolphin upload speed is low?

[michel]

I asked KDE regarding the error message and got this answer:

Those messages can safely be ignored.

As for what the messages are:
Code: Select all
"/usr/bin/dolphin(10229)" Soprano: "Could not connect to server at /tmp/ksocket-michel/nepomuk-socket (No such file or directory)"
"/usr/bin/dolphin(10229)" Soprano: "Could not connect to server at /tmp/ksocket-michel/nepomuk-socket (No such file or directory)"

These come from Soprano, the library which underlies Nepomuk. Unfortunately it tends to be a little noisy. This essentially means Nepomuk is not running/is disabled on your computer.

Code: Select all
dolphin(10229) KSambaSharePrivate::testparmParamValue: We got some errors while running testparm "Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Loaded services file OK.
WARNING: You have some share names that are longer than 12 characters.
These may not be accessible to some older clients.
(Eg. Windows9x, WindowsMe, and smbclient prior to Samba 3.0.)
"

This comes from Samba, it seems that the smb.conf file on your system has some shares which have names longer than 12 characters - it is essentially a warning. KDE interacts with Samba to allow you to share folders on your system easily.

All is well.

I believe the nepomuk entries are because it is currently disabled. I too get those same errors and I have nepomuk disabled. Although, my dolphin is acting just fine (i.e. no speed issues that I can see).

My output:

I don't use Samba and un-install everything related to it (that is allowed) post install, so I am not sure why I have that error. Also, not sure why I am getting the other errors either though.

I think Samba is involved because you can use Dolphin to browse the network including Samba shares ?

I tried to add some sort of Samba services to Dolphin. The service never showed up in the Dolphin menu. When I look at installed services, Samba is not there. At any rate what should I be looking for in smb.conf and what about those nepomuk entries?

Michel

Run testparm on /etc/samba/smb.conf and see what it says. Samba won't run if the config is bad.

I don't get those errors (nepomuk or samba). Both could cause slowdowns. The first thing I'd check is your smb.conf. You obviously got a syntax error in there somewhere.

Here's my term. output when I start Dolphin:

Nothing there stands out to me. Nepomuk shouldn't affect FTP KIO-slave. Yeah I would recommend filing a bug, after you check out if the bug doesn't already exist. I have a suscpicion that its a packaging issue cause my 12.2 install is smooth as butter and crazy fast.

[dmeyer]

I'm using 12.04 and Dolphin Version 2.1 Using KDE Development Platform 4.9.2.

Michel

Thats strange, all my FTP slowness at first was fixed when I updated a little while ago.

As was recommended, try launch it from the terminal and point out any discrepancies. Also if its still unexplainable just file a bug report.

Ok this post is redundant. I hadnt refreshed the page after typing it.

I'm on the same versions here and no crashes or slowness. In fact, it's the quickest Dolphin so far.

I suspect something else is slowing your Dolphin. Try launching it from a terminal and see if there are any tell-tails.

Just a thought. I come here from Mepis and Dolphin is unusually slow. I'm not talking about using it as an FTP, just as a file manager. Just after my initial install it was really bad with freezing and crashing issues. Now it's just a bit too slow.

Michel

Which Version of Dolphin are you using? Which version of KDE? Dolphin underwent a huge rewrite for v2 and v2.1 which sped it up massively and has made it a whole new beast especially v2.1 with KDE 4.9.x

I think there is a bug with the FTP kioslave. I know on my system that I often have to start a file transfer, let it run for a few seconds then cancel it and start it again to get full speed. That simple little process usually does the trick but to be honest its not a deal breaker for me.
