I'm attempting to run the Amateur (ham) radio program qsstv on Ubuntu 19.10, on a new Dell PC, Optiplex 5055 with an AMD PRO A10-9700 R7 CPU with 10 compute cores (4C+6G) and 8GB RAM. swapon NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO /dev/sda5 partition 14.9G 4M -2 free total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7082736 2973652 491932 76956 3617152 3732324 Swap: 15625212 4096 15621116

Every step of the way in this program, from the opening splash screen to clicking on different tabs and menu options in the program, there is a long 60-120 second wait before anything happens. Many other programs run like the wind on this PC, so I'm not sure what is going on here.

I tried to just mv the /home/user/sstv dir, and start with a new config, no luck. If I run this in a windows while going into the config menu, and attempting to restart and cat interface:

  • OM, the CPU is not very important here; the chipset is much more relevant. What's the model number of the PC? How does the camera interface, by USB or into a PCie card? Please click [edit] and add that vital information to your question so all the facts we need are in the question. Please don't use Add Comment, since that's our uplink to you. All facts about your system should go in the Question with [edit] – K7AAY Apr 20 '20 at 21:10
  • In a separate terminal window, `sudo journalctl -f` as you run `qsstv` may help. How much swap space do you have? `free;man mkswap; man swapon; man free`. – waltinator Apr 21 '20 at 03:49
