[SLUG] Mini-Review: 2.4.0-test*
Kernel Krazy this week - I installed test1 a few days ago, and test2 in the last couple. Here's what happened... test1: * No troubles on boot, everything ran as per. * Framebuffer consoles (with Matrox cards) are cool. You get a penguin for each processor in your system - now I have a spurious reason to get a dual CPU board. * The VM (virtual memory) in this release isn't all that great. My highly technical appraisal is that with 2.2.16, BubbleMon shows about a quarter of my memory used when doing basic X stuff (powershell, console mail client, Gnome panels, irc - not Nutscrape), whilst with test1, it constantly creeps up towards full. * IDE performance isn't noticably faster, in fact overall performance seems overly sluggish when there's hard drive action going on. * bttv driver was greyed out during kernel config. test2: * Boots faster than any other kernel I've met. Postfix decided not to start because tar segfaulted in its script. This turned out to be a wider problem. * VM seems much better than both test1 and 2.2. Not sure who's code it was (there's a bit of competition going on on the VM front), but all-round faster for X things. No more leakage. BubbleMon test: stable at one-quarter full. * IDE performace is faster, feels like less CPU involved as other processes don't go AWOL as much. * bttv driver back and happy. Given the time, I might do a couple of "proper" performance tests - at least something with numbers. Anyone else been playing with the new ones? - Jeff -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- w: http://www.slug.org.au/ i: 16341281 (jdub!) q: "In addition to these ample facilities, there exists a powerful configuration tool called gcc." - Elliot Hughes, author of lwm -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text

From: Howard Lowndes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Which just goes to show that when you bundle it in the lamers will use it and let themselves become the victims of Melissa, ILOVEYOU, Life-Stages, IDD redialers and all the crap that is associated with the product. Actually, it just means that Linux web designers should test on IE and Windows as well as Netscape and any other browser which is used. Nothing more, nothing less. The shift to IE has probably had most to do with Netscape not releasing a product for a long time. Once Mozilla/Netscape 6.0 is released I think you'll see some shift back. Calling over 85% of people lamers is a bit rough, and rather antisocial. After all, it is pretty hard to convince someone to use Linux after you've called them a Lamer. ;-) John Wiltshire -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text

If I haven't accessed the mounted share for some time (varies from 30 minutes to a couple of hours), the connection appears to be lost. It's re-established by smbmount automatically (in 2.0.7 but not earlier versions), and the following messages appear in syslog: Jun 28 15:34:49 dropbear kernel: smb_trans2_request: result=-32, setting invalid Jun 28 15:34:49 dropbear kernel: smb_retry: new pid=10342, generation=15 I haven't had time to dig any deeper and find out why it happens, but since smbmount recovers itself, it's no big deal.

Once Mozilla/Netscape 6.0 is released I think you'll see some shift back. Unfortunate as it may sound, I actually think that IE5 does offer some advantages over Netscape as a browser. It does support CSS better (tho not fully still) and it does have some very nice features from a web design point of view. These stats would also concur with the general business sites we run. Corresponds roughly to the same amount of browsers as well. We have a variety of businesses who we control their web sites, having a wide variety of traffic levels.

[SLUG] X/gnome problem
Hello, X does not want to stay running for me. Whenever I run startx (or xinit), it crashes within seconds, or a couple of mins at most. The behavoius seems to stop when the machine is reset, but comes back every now and then. I am wondering if someone might know what is going on. The message that appears in the logs when it dies is: Jun 28 11:18:42 simon gnome-name-server[7731]: input condition is: 0x10, exiting. So... I tried upgrading Gnome. Compiled gnome-libs (1.2.3) worked, gdk-pixbuf (0.8.0) ok. Now gnome-core (1.2.1) thinks gdk-pixbuf is not there. Configure script doesnt find it, nor does make, so somethign is wrong. checking for GdkPixbuf library = 0.7.0... Unknown library `gdk-pixbuf' ldconfig seems to link it (afaik): [root@simon gnome-core-1.2.1] # /sbin/ldconfig -v | grep gdk_pixbuf libgdk_pixbuf.so.2 = libgdk_pixbuf.so.2.0.0 and now gnome panel is refusing to load (keeps segfaulting) What else do I need to do? or can I do? Other things I have tried: including the --libdir=/usr/local/lib in configure options (and --includedir) gdk-pixbuf 0.7.0 (no difference) forced the configure though, make died saying it couldnt find gdk_pixbuf stuff.

[SLUG] FW: flip flop (machine)
Hi all, This message below show 2 hardware ethernet MAC addresses which are actually from different ethernet cards. Both cards are on a different IP but arpwatch is showing this error. Any ideas on why it's flippin' and floppin'? thanks, George Vieira Network Administrator Citadel Computer Systems P/L http://www.citadelcomputer.com.au -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 29 June 2000 2:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: flip flop (machine) hostname: machine ip address: a.b.c.d ethernet address: 0:0:21:cd:b3:33 ethernet vendor: SCC (PAM SoftHardware also reported) old ethernet address: 0:0:21:d1:9d:2e old ethernet vendor: SCC (PAM SoftHardware also reported) timestamp: Thursday, June 29, 2000 14:00:55 +1000 previous timestamp: Thursday, June 29, 2000 14:00:50 +1000 delta: 5 seconds -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text

Re: [SLUG] mobile internet!
DaZZa [EMAIL PROTECTED] From slashdot... Blackbox writes "This site answers the age old question: "What do you get when you run 16 mobile phones in parallel?" The answer is of course a 150 kbit/s connection to the internet for your car! Check it out at: http://www.megacar.com shows you the details. Wow! I want one! I'd better start saving! The net access costs alone would break me! use the telstra 5c/min off peak rate calling another telstra mobile number and dial into the bigswamp access number that's a mobile number. 16 x $0.05/min * 60min = $48 per hour. And of course if you wanted 16 phones, you'd really need probably twice that number cos half would have dropped out at any given time!

[SLUG] 0 users on uptimes
Jill, If a machine reports 0 users, and you know there are something like 20 logged on, the problem isn't that serious, it's just that they (terminal emulator, or terminal itself) can't write to utmp, or wtmp (damn caffeine-deprived mind.) When my machines do this, i usually chmod 4755 the binary (not the best solution, granted), but if those 20 users are telnet'ing or ssh'ing in, i'm fairly stuffed in which program can't write to u/wtmp.
