System is presenting strange "lags", and sometimes it is impossible to work

Hi everyone!

i would be very grateful in to count with your help, if possible.

Today I installed Manjaro (I’m coming from Kubuntu). But, the system started presenting strange “lags”. I really don’t know how to explain this, but it seems sometimes the things are doing some “hicups”.

Lags, etc, I don’t know. But, for example, if I try to open Konsole sometimes everything froozes . And this happens with several apps and moments.

I am really lost here, and don’t know even from where to begin to discover where’s the problem.

Below is the output of inxi:

Thanks in advance.

can you report

inxi -Fza
sudo pacman -S cpupower 
sudo cpupower frequency-info
sudo mhwd-kernel -li

since its a fresh install its probably related to baloo indexer, so go to system settings/search/file search and uncheck all the options, delete the index, click apply and see if it helped

Thank you! Sure! :slight_smile:

@brahma ,

I’ll try. Many thanks!

can you check

sudo pacman-mirrors -c all
sudo pacman -Syyu

you can also add sensors ( follow uppercase value )

sudo pacman -S lm_sensors
sudo sensors-detect

Thanks once again.

So, below is the sensors outpub:

The sudo pacman-mirrors -c all command returned a series of queries. The only problem (in red - I suppose this was a problem) was wtih Bangladesh (read timeout).

After that, I ran sudo pacman -Syyu, and the system seems to be upgrading without problems. The only thing I am afraid to have done wrong is that I accidentaly answered Yes to a series of questions, as for example the one mentioning “Change at-spi2-atk for extra/at-spi2-core?”.

no it was good always says Y to go forward.

is there any change since reboot ?

Understood. Thank you.

So, the system is updating right now. I think the total size is around 2GB. I will await it finishes, restart and check. :slight_smile:

Hi again,

Just updating the thread. :slight_smile:

I think the problem is solved (or almost solved). And I think that it was solved by the two procedures you’ve suggested me ( @stephane and @brahma ).

I also noticed a lot of work when I acessed system settings ==> searches. That was probably also causing slowness.

Now I’ll finish somethings and reboot the system.

Thank you very much for all the support and kindness.

Everything is looking very good! Thank you very much!
