unusualy slow openbox system.[Solved]

darkclown · 2007-07-20 00:23:42

Hi
I have a rather simple system running on my computer without anything fancy, the things thats constantly running are pidgin, conky, uim, xfce4-panel, skype, xchat and sonata then ether transmission or firefox. The demons I have running are syslog-ng, network, netfs, crond, mpd, alsa, dbus, avahi-deamon, cups and gdm.
For some reason especially Firefox is extremely slow but everything is also rather slow for example startup time of urxvt.
The thing is that my backup system is way faster (Ubuntu with gnome) theres got to be something wrong with ether one of my apps or with my settings, any idea what I have missed?

Is your loopback interface up?

Do you have your machine's name on the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts?

darkclown · 2007-07-20 02:03:23

yes on both

oh yea, forgot to put in the original post...
Maybe I'm missing an important app or demon?

Anything sucking up CPU at all? (When you run 'top' or similar)

Anything in /var/log/messages or the output from 'dmesg'?

Ah solved it, I didn't know the top command before but it showed that gdm was sucking up allot of possessor and ram and ones I turned it of everything works nicely
Thanks ataraxia
