levisiccard Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 hey guys, i've noticed that my pineapple running on the 3.0.0 firmware runs a bit slow and always has a high cpu (80 to 100%) as in the example below: Is this normal? I copied as much information in the example so you can check it out:System Current Time Thu Jan 1 01:13:23 UTC 1970 Uptime 1:13 Hostname Pineapple CPU CPU Model mips Load Average 81% 1.54, 0.63, 0.27 Memory Total Available 28.65 MB Free 16% 4.69 MB Used 84% 24.09 MB Swap Total Available 957.24 MB Free 100% 956.05 MB Used 0% 1.19 MB Storage rootfs [/] 30% 228.00 KB/768.00 KB /dev/root [/rom] 100% 5.25 MB/5.25 MB tmpfs [/tmp] 1% 180.00 KB/14.33 MB tmpfs [/dev] 0% 0.00 KB/512.00 KB /dev/mtdblock3 [/overlay] 30% 228.00 KB/768.00 KB overlayfs:/overlay [/] 30% 228.00 KB/768.00 KB /dev/sda1 [/usb] 5% 134.98 MB/2.79 GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I have informed Sebkinne and a temporary bug fix has been made. https://wifipineapple.com/?portal&bugs&action=view&id=48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxtrot Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Judging from the information given, I would say it is uhttpd, However, could obviously possibly be something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levisiccard Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hmm, I guess it's when i'm running multiple infusions at the same time. shutting down some of them seems to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hmm, I guess it's when i'm running multiple infusions at the same time. shutting down some of them seems to help. Execute 'top' from a Terminal Session and report whether uhttpd is at the top of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levisiccard Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 hey foxtrot, you mean top in a terminal session on my linux machine (kali)? Don't know if it's possibble on the pineapple but i did on my kali machine and there's nothing that looks like uhttpd. here's the output: top - 02:39:02 up 19 min, 3 users, load average: 0,19, 0,23, 0,23Tasks: 140 total, 2 running, 138 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie%Cpu(s): 3,2 us, 0,7 sy, 0,0 ni, 85,4 id, 10,5 wa, 0,0 hi, 0,2 si, 0,0 stKiB Mem: 3939972 total, 752900 used, 3187072 free, 37732 buffersKiB Swap: 1321980 total, 0 used, 1321980 free, 346972 cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3275 root 20 0 382m 21m 11m S 5,3 0,5 0:43.89 gnome-terminal 2569 root 20 0 148m 14m 5728 S 2,7 0,4 1:03.95 Xorg 3924 root 20 0 859m 133m 34m S 1,3 3,5 1:02.85 iceweasel 3702 root 20 0 32288 2120 1420 S 0,7 0,1 0:07.37 airodump-ng 206 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0,3 0,0 0:00.10 kworker/0:1H 3049 root 20 0 47408 796 444 S 0,3 0,0 0:00.10 udisks-daemon 4084 root 20 0 23232 1708 1204 R 0,3 0,0 0:00.03 top 1 root 20 0 10648 836 696 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.56 init 2 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 kthreadd 3 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.25 ksoftirqd/0 5 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 kworker/0:0H 7 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 kworker/u:0H 8 root rt 0 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.17 migration/0 9 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 rcu_bh 10 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.51 rcu_sched 11 root rt 0 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 watchdog/0 12 root rt 0 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 watchdog/1 13 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.15 ksoftirqd/1 14 root rt 0 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 migration/1 16 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 kworker/1:0H 17 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 cpuset 18 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 khelper 19 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 kdevtmpfs 20 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 netns 21 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 bdi-default 22 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 kintegrityd 23 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 kblockd 24 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 0,0 0,0 0:01.06 kworker/0:1 25 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 khungtaskd 26 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 kswapd0 27 root 25 5 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 ksmd 28 root 39 19 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 khugepaged 29 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 fsnotify_mark 30 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 crypto 34 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 kthrotld 36 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0,0 0,0 0:00.00 deferwq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 No, run "top" on the pineapple over SSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxtrot Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Hmm, it shouldnt be the uhttpd problem then... If you are running lots of services, remember that the pineapple is not a computer, its still a SOHO router. From the picture your showing, The pineapple is using only 3% of the CPU.

levisiccard Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yeah, saw that 3% also. I have deleted some infusions. Its the "status" infusion that indicates the high cpu. So I'm guessing its not a correct value or am i mistaken hereCPU CPU Model mips Load Average 94% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 That 94%, to me I have a feeling that that is the idling cpu percentage, not the cpu percentage it is using, try checking to see if the number 'status' reports is the same as the idle one.

levisiccard Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Nopes, Guess not. The idle is about 95% now, the cpu% it is using is about 4 and the number that "status" reports is between 30 and 40 now. Well, I guess the numbers that should be trusted are the ones I get in puTTY with the "top" command. I don't know what the "status" infusion is reporting there but it shoudn't be a problem I think, althought I'm curious about it I will not let my sleep for it :-) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whistle Master Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) The value returned by the status infusion is the average of cpu values during the last minute, during the last 5 minutes and during the last 15 minutes, given by uptime command. The only issue is that the tile gives an instant snapshot of the cpu load but it has to be refreshed frequently to get an adequate value. I will make test with values returned by top to use with the status infusion. Edited August 22, 2013 by Whistle Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levisiccard Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Seems like my "problem" is no problem at all then. then. solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
