Slow system after update

I updated my laptop yesterday, and after doing so it was painfully slow. I restored it to its pre-update state using snapper and it got its zip back.

I cleared the package cache and updated it again today, and it once again seriously slowed things down, so I have once again restored it.

There was an error during the update:

( 7/22) Creating temporary files...
Failed to write file "/sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy": Operation not permitted
error: command failed to execute correctly

Could this error be a part of the problem?

After a very large update, if you experience a slowdown try running a btrfs balance operation. Be sure to reboot after a balancing operation.

Have you searched for the error on the forum? Iā€™m sure there are more than one answers to this question already @Colin.

You could also use htop or something like that to check which application is using most of your resources.

Thanks for the info.

Iā€™ll look into this and give it a try.

After looking around I think this error is not related to the issue.

The slow down is universal from boot up to shut down.

I found details about btrfs balance at

I enteredā€¦

bash -c "sudo btrfs balance start -musage=60 -dusage=60 / & sudo watch -t -n5 btrfs balance status / &&  fg"

ā€¦at the terminal, and this has been displayedā€¦

No balance found on '/'

ā€¦it strikes me that Iā€™ve got something wrong.

You can perform balance through the Garuda Assistant utility.

I've found the balance utility on the BTRFS Assistant...

...I'll set the frequency briefly to daily. It will then hopefully be done sometime tomorrow.

Just a word of caution, you should never interrupt a balancing operation while it is in progress.

Is there any way to tell when it's being done?

Not sure if the command below will work after the balance has already been initiated:

sudo watch -t -n5 btrfs balance status

I'm only on my phone so I can't verify that command , but give it a try.

Otherwise, if you have an activity light that keeps flashing you'll know its still likely chugging away

To run it manually I use "Btrfs Assistant">Overview tab> bottom right "Balance" section> click start. It will show you the progress and the percent of chunks left.

In the hopefully remote event that the balance does not start at all, check the journal.
A long time ago (before Garuda...) I had a problem with a btrfs file system (it was the first time I tried it) whereby the balance would not start (and I remember noticing it exactly because the system was slow, not much though). The journal did not report specific errors when the balance was launched, but there were errors before. Searching the Internet I found the solution (but I don't really remember).
What I seem to remember is that the whole thing had started because of a crash (or maybe a simple shutdown that didn't complete and I had forced...) during a balance, or scrub, trim, etc.

Thanks for the additional replies.

I used the following to perform the balancing operationā€¦

ā€¦thanks for this info.

I still found my system wasnā€™t as snappy after the update as it was prior to it. It was only when I opened up btop that the reason became clear.

Prior to the update my CPU idled at 1400MHz. After the update my CPU is idling at 400MHz, and its maximum speed is 409MHz.

Iā€™m baffled.

Something must have changed in a recent update for the amd-pstate or the governor.
Try to switch to Performance Tweaks in the Garuda Assistant.
Or try first to change the governor, e.g.

sudo cpupower frequency-set -g performance

:confused:

Please, no pictures from terminal.

You can install it

sudo pacman -Syu cpupower

Check what you have in the Garuda Assistant.

I had a look on YouTube to get some info on auto-cpufreq. I was somewhat dubious about using it as Gnome has its own power settings, but it seemed obvious they were having no effect.

I had a look at this video by the author of auto-cpufreq...

...and after doing so I installed auto-cpufreq via Garuda Assistant > Settings > Powersave Tweaks and then enabled it.

The first thing I noticed was the Gnome power settings had disappeared from its drop menu.

I then found that when the power cable is not inserted into my laptop its CPU frequency is 400MHz, and when it is inserted the CPU frequency increases to 2.1GHz.

Prior to the kernel update the CPU frequency was always 1.4GHz at idle regardless of whether the laptop was plugged in or not, so I guess some changes regarding power usage have been made in this kernel update.

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of auto-cpufreq. It has resolved the issue (and my battery should now also last a bit longer).

As a footnote, after a reboot I had a problem. Here's the terminal output::

auto-cpufreq --stats

Note: You can quit stats mode by pressing "ctrl+c"

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
