People use those stats, but at the same time advocate against them. Strange thing indeed.

Welcome to Linux: Development Tools for Linux on Sunday, 23-Dec-2007
As part of the Welcome to Linux ( http://welcome.linux.org.il/ ) series, the Tel Aviv Linux club will hold the fourth meeting of the series next Sunday, 23-December-2007. Elizabeth Sterling will give the Development Tools for Linux presentation, which will explain about the basic tools of developing C/C++ programs for Linux. The presentation will start at 18:30, in the Schreiber building, room 008 of Tel Aviv University. Attendance is free and everyone are welcome. The purpose of the Welcome to Linux series is to introduce Linux to people who are not very familiar with it.

That's how I got Firefox with Flash, Skype and other proprietary stuff to play nice on my amd64 Debian Etch. schroot makes this simpler to use. I think I heard that Debian Lenny has aligned with other distro's in this area and started providing i386 libraries in the amd64 version. I'm running sid and the only problem I had is with skype, who's static version still compiled against libsigc-2.0.so.0 dynamically but I solved that by putting the 32 bit version in it's directory and putting a script in /usr/local/bin containing #!/bin/sh LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/skype /usr/local/skype/skype Didn't try the said file but I don't have problems up to now with mplayer. Didn't see a codecs package though, 32 or 64 bit. Firefox works nicely with flash although I am running the flashblock addon that disables all flash unless enabled explicitly Just FYI. --Amos = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Open office display question
I'm using a laptop with a rather smallish display - 1024x768 at something like 12. in order to better use the limited screen real-estate, I've set the font display to 75 DPI - Using GNOME's font preferences. I'm running Ubuntu with the GNOME desktop. The problem is that Open Office is displayed using 96 DPI, no matter how I change GNOME's properties, and Open Office's Options-Appearance doesn't have anything related to that setting. What can I do ? the Open Office UI looks really big compared to other elements in the system and it also takes up way too much space (with 1 menu and 2 tool bars on top and a tool bar and status bar at the bottom, a 22% increase is size means a lot). Thanks in advance
Linux memory monitoring compared to MS-Windows
Hi List. I heard (but haven't actually seen) that in MS-Windows the system keeps track of some notion of working set, which is supposedly (if I understand correctly) the total size of pages that an application referenced recently - whether these are currently resident or swapped out (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684891.aspx which is an MSDN article I found on the subject). The way I understand processes normally work (in Linux anyway) is that as long as there is enough memory available the memory manager keeps all pages that an application constantly references in physical RAM, and pages that are not references are swapped out after a while. A good example of such is a long running Java virtual machine process (at least the Sun implementation anyway) that doesn't return unused memory to the operating system letting it being swapped out until its needed again - so I have some jvm process which takes up some 1.5GB of virtual but less then 150MB resident: it was processing a lot of data some time in the past but now its idling. Now (again - according to my understanding) under contention - i.e. when processes need to use more physical memory then what is available - the memory manager keeps swapping stuff in and out of memory in an attempt to satisfy all requests. Under such conditions its might be useful to know - for each process - the amount of physical memory in use, the amount of virtual mapped to the process, but also how much of that virtual memory the process actually tries to use but can't get it all in physical RAM because other processes are also hogging the memory. Does such a thing exist in Linux?

Processing time spent in IRQ handling and what to do about it
Hi List I have a somewhat of a problem but I don't know how serious it is or how to handle it: I manage several servers - quite a nice beasts, HP ML360G5 with 2 x dual Xeons and 4GB ram each. Now one of the production servers is not behaving all that well - it doesn't handle the load as well as I would like it to and its responses are slower then what I would expect according to previous benchmarks (on identical hardware, not on the specific machine). After doing some application testing and optimization, I still do not rule out sub-optimal application behavior, but I noticed something disturbing and I would appreciate some input on that - I use htop to monitor the server's load, and the load average is quite low when the servers suffers under load, and the cpu time bars rarely reach over 50%. Splitting the cpu time display in htop according to system/IO-wait/hard-IRQ/soft-IRQ I can see that a lot of time is spent in the hard-IRQ region - sometimes more then all other regions together. Running some static benchmarks that should mimic the behavior on real load, on identical hardware at the office, I see very little hard-IRQ time if at all. The main difference between the static benchmark and real usage is that the static benchmark only tests the application logic and IO, while real usage also fetches some files served by Apache over HTTP with each request - maybe ~50Kbytes worth of responses are served by Apache for each request to the application. I was thinking that the high IRQ usage is due to high network traffic - could that be the case and could that be affecting the server's performance ? I'd appreciate any references that you can provide - searching the web for irq bnx2 (the NIC module used by the machine) yields nothing that I could decipher.

I am not an expert on this, but what you want might be NAPI - a new network driver infrastructure designed to solve just that. Google a bit - I do not know exactly when it entered 2.6 (and you did not state your kernel version) and which drivers use it already. -- Didi = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
