[CentOS] Intermittently unresponsive mouse
I am using the Mate desktop on CentOS 7 and have found that the mouse intermittently becomes unresponsive for a few seconds, typically no more than 3-5 seconds. I do not remember seeing that when I used the regular Gnome desktop on CentOS 6 but I could misremember. The machine is fast and uses a dual-monitor setup with the native nVidia graphics driver. Is this really to be expected? I thought this was not an issue on Linux or maybe I am engaging in wishful thinking... ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Does `tail -F /var/log/messages` show anything special while this is happening? Would be nice to check the resources consumption too, in order to see it those lags correspond to high-activity peaks.

I use a touchpad that's built into my usb-connected keyboard and don't encounter mouse latency issues with c7/mate. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Intermittently unresponsive mouse
My mouse lag tends to correspond to low battery or exceeding the 2-3 ft range of wireless (i.e. I kick back on my chair). Assuming it is wireless. Not much info on hw. -- Fred ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I touched the physical disk solution briefly while looking around, but felt at the time it was a tad bit complicated. I'll have another look at this.

The important data is backed up properly. I'm looking for a "quick fix" solution to clone the server as is. I'm pretty sure I can duplicate the setup for the license managers and intricate scripts, and what not. I'm just not too hot on spending a few weeks on this. I'm aware of the fast - cheap - good pyramid. :-) -- //Sorin ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I think Kaby Lake support is still a sketchy, thats Core gen 7. (i-7xxx). I'm not sure what the state of Skylake is (gen 6) Broadwell should be very solid at this point (5th gen), that was new in early 2015. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

While Hyper-V is not ideal, it's good enough for our purpose. We made a choice a few years back to either completely rehaul our vm infrastructure or just hand it over to central IT at our university. The later option won, mostly because of the cost. Since central IT uses Hyper-V, that's what we also use. Building a completely new vm and somehow restore from backup the important parts, is what I'm looking at now.
