Hello world!

Re: [expert] Re: Best Use of Swap
Yes, Linux swap managing is quite "intelligent". Imagine you have 2 modern harddisks hda and hdc, and an old slow one hde. In that case you may want to swap splitting into hda and hdc, and only if they both are full up it will use the old hde. You could do this complicated scenario by putting in /etc/fstab the entries (I used partition numbers just to show an example): /dev/hda11 swap swap defaults,pri=1 0 0 /dev/hdc13 swap swap defaults,pri=1 0 0 /dev/hde5 swap swap defaults,pri=2 0 0 As if by magic, isn't it? =8-O El mié, 08-10-2003 a las 21:19, Norman Zhang escribió: > Hi, > > >> I'm running software RAID on 9.0.

RE: [expert] Do these messages explain why my system hung?
I'm glad it might be usefull to someone (I have used sucessfuly it in the past). Have a look at (googling around will lead you here): http://badmem.sourceforge.net/docu/BadMEM-HOWTO.html It does not waste resources as what it does os just install itself as a resident kernel module (not swapable) into those specific locations, so it locks them but will never be used. The only thing to accomplish is to try to put the good module(s) first to guarantee that lilo, the loader, etc get executed properly just upto the "module" load.

That's not true, I'll show the most interesting cases in brief. Let say you have a HD and it's running out of space, so you buy another one. Then you'll have some programs/data in one and some in the other, but in general you are only accessing one at a time (what a waste!! ;-) So what Raid 0 (raid for speed) would do is (for example) define a virtual HD that has a sector of 32K when actually each drive has exactly the half, so it reads/writes data joining sectors from both drives. That way you have the same capacity as in the paragraph before but now with the time a drive needs to give you a block you get 2. Useful, isn't it? The drawback is if one of both fails, you won't loose half the data but ALL!! Raid 1 is for reliability as it writes exactly the same data in both drives, so even having 2 drives you have only 1 drive capacity, but if one fails, you still have ALL the data. Raid 5 is a situation where you have N+1 drives (minimum 3) where you have N for speed (about N times faster than a single drive) and the other one for reliability. Actually all of them work together for speed and reliability, so a drive (ANY drive) may fail and you'll still have ALL data. ALL of them are trivial to set up (if it seemed trivial to me... well you know ;-) Anyway, I'd go for Raid 0 in your case as: 1) it's cheap 2) you'll get a 'virtual HD' about 2 times faster 3) doing backups are easy and cheap, so if one of the drives dies you won't loose all your data... > > > If thinking on a fast AMD XP, just have a very close look at the > > heatsink+fan as it easily maybe insufficient or be too noisy... > > That could be very important.

If you're going to be close to it many hours, take one with less than 30dB of noise. As your future CPU seems it's going to be near 100% many hours, cooling power is esential.

Re: [expert] VMWARE $
Try to set extraversion tag to empty in /usr/src/linux/Makefile to make it match to original version of kernel sources. Chances are it will work then... (happened to me ;-)) By the way, I have MDK 8.2 so don't know how it is in 9.x, but Todd Lyons told me that thought it was going to be made 'easier' in MDK9.1: 1) Kernel modules are compiled against /usr/src/linux/include (provided by kernel-source-xxx.rpm) 2) Applications compile against /usr/include (provided by kernel-headers, that were the headers used to compile glibc) This seems to be common for all linuxes not only MDK. So if the first paragraph does not suits you, try to see if your glibc and kernel-headers versions are the same. Let's see what comes...

Re: [expert] DVD stuff
Is it crashing when at dvd menu or while at film? To play menus you need xine-dvdnav plugin. I have a Mandrake 8.2 and see DVD with no problems at all. If I do (as root): rpm -qa | grep xine I get the following list of installed packages: xine-win32-0.9.13-3plf libxine0-0.9.13-3plf xine-ui-0.9.13-2mdk xine-esd-0.9.13-3plf xine-oss-0.9.13-3plf xine-divx4-0.9.13-3plf xine-xvid-0.9.13-3plf xine-dvdnav-0.9.13-1mdk libxine0-devel-0.9.13-3plf xinetd-2.3.7-1.1mdk xine-aa-0.9.13-3plf xine-plugins-0.9.13-3plf xine-dxr3-0.9.13-3plf xine-d5d-0.2.7-2plf xine-faad-0.9.13-3plf xine-ui-aa-0.9.13-2mdk xine-arts-0.9.13-3plf libxine0-docs-0.9.13-3plf xine_d4d_plugin-0.3.2-2plf Anyway, give a try to se what gmplayer says, it is a really good player. Xine has better user interface (at least to me) but it seems gplayer has more resistent codecs (they suffer less corruptions found in the stream). If you can't get anything neither with Xine nor Gmplayer, it's probably a device config problem, so if so post detailed error message of both players. Good luck.

Re: [expert] open source spreadsheet file format.
True, but that's why standards are for... Have a look at http://www.w3.org/ as they are working on html, xml, etc standards and they pretend them to be widely spread. M$ is not a reference to proof a standard. I read somewhere that M$ worked together with other companies to get HTML transactional 4 (look the web above), but in the end what they have made is: their products to understand the standard they among others aproved, but when designing a web page by default their programs violate it!!! For example: M$ frontpage does by default: text Should be: text They don't close some tags, use options that does not exist, ... Don't know about xml treatment, but from what I know about html, don't think of how M$ products XML output is, but if they read the XML produced by another program.

XML is universal and should perform ok with any perl/whatever script to convert to/from any other format.

Re: [expert] Enlarging Swap
Not only that!! It will split accesses to both so it would be similar to
a raid (more or less). Another thing is that you can also asign
priorities to them, for example to priorize writing/reading in the fast
HD until it is full up and then you write to a slow one (or even in
sleep mode). You can do it with something like ('pri' is priority
parameter, of course) in /etc/fstab :
/dev/hde10 swap swap defaults,pri=1 0 0
/dev/hda14 swap swap defaults,pri=2 0 0

[expert] Two X displays (vtty7 and vtty8)
I have a NVIDIA GFORCE II graphic card and have NVIDIA driver compiled against kernel to get most out its perfomance. Problem is I want to have two displays (vtty7 and vtty8) with X. If I try a simple gdm from console while already into vtty7 X session it will finally launch X on another vtty, but I can't get it working through config files. I read I have to edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers and add a line like: :2 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -deferglyphs 16 but with this line it won't start any X at all.

Re: [expert] Lilo conf lines
I already sent a email out explaining this but it seems it got lost :-(( (This is not the first time I suspect I'm not sending/receiving all the email...) IMHO you have to tell lilo to load the mbr in another drive (lilo -b /dev/hdc or something similar). I think that when you swith on the computer, BIOS boots from your 100MHz ides, but as soon as kernel is loaded it reorders ides so hda is one of the 66MHz ides, not the 100MHz ones. This makes that when running lilo will default to load mbr in hda (if not specified another unit) which is *not* the boot drive. I copy the explanation sent before (please tell me if you got a email from me on 12 Mar 2003 just to check if I'm relly losing emails...): Let's have first some background before breaking it all ;-)) I have a board with 2 IDE ports (HighPoint's raid) and 2 "normal" IDE ports. That's why I had to add those 2 disk-stanzas I will describe the issues in my board (that might be quite similar to your case): At startup, BIOS makes raid to be ide 0 and 1, and normal ones 2 and 3. It then tryies to boot from first drive in the first ide available. Let's say it is a master drive in ide 0. We should call it hda. So far so good. The "problem" is that Linux does not use BIOS to do it's I/O, so as soon as it has been loaded into memory it won't use BIOS conventions. In my case it thinks normal ide port's are 0 and 1, and raid ones are 2 and 3, just the opposite as BIOS stated!!! That's all. All you have to do to make thinks easier is to think is how to force a remapping of ide's so as to be the same as BIOS, and you'll get rid of many mistakes. For example, if Linux mappings of hard disks does not match with BIOS ones, and you run lilo to update mbr (OS boot menu) on hda, that drive might not be first drive for BIOS, so it will boot another mbr and you'll be wondering why you are booting with the same menu as always, but nothing to do with the one you have spacified!! All this can be solved by typing into lilo.conf the spells of remaping drives (or by specifing boot=/dev/hd, but taking into account that drive is the letter of BIOS remapped to what Linux wnted/was told to). Remapping can be done with disk's or map-drive spells (use disk's, cause map-drive is mainly for DOS and the first one can be used with all OS and it's clearer). Anyway, what you specify is: real_drive --> how_I_want_it_to_be_seen_by_the_OS Now to your point: Try to coment out those 2 stanzas and run lilo to see if Windows will boot. Sincerely, I can't see a reason for them to be there provided there is not a previous remapping of drives in lilo.conf. Anyway it probably won't change much if all partitions in hdf are invisible to Windows.

Re: [expert] OK, what am I doing wrong when compiling a new kernel?!?
I have always had problems compiling kernel if I don't do first a: make mrproper but it always is at compile time (making/installing modules). If you are going to try this, copy your .config into ANTOTHER directory, do the 'make mrproper' and copy it back, then do a: make oldconfig first just in case config file was for a previous version/release. Another point is changing the extraversion in the makefile AFTER a 'make xconfig/menuconfig" and BEFORE starting with the rest (make dep ...). Another point is (what Adrian said) "...If I install a system update I get a new kernel (from the update) and I still can boot all the other pre-existing ones..." I understand this is from rpmdrake or similar, because if you do it by hand (get the rpm and upgrade it) you might be spoiling existing kernels as kernel shouldn't be upgraded (rpm -U) but installed (rpm -i) as the second case will not overwrite the old one. Anyway, what Todd said sounds to me is probably the right direction.

Re: [expert] DMA on new Maxtor hard drive
If I'm right HighPoint HPT372 is only supported through a kernel patch
you should download from their homepage. If it is a HPT370 one, then
kernel 2.4.20 and above support dma in it (not sure about 2.4.19).
Good Luck!

Re: [expert] kernel panic after defrag in WinjMe
OK, let's go safe first. Before doing ANYTHING more make a partition table copy just in case it gets even worse: 1) Boot a linux (for example th rescue cd you have). 2) Insert a spare floppy disk 3) (As root) dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=64 Fine, so you have now a copy of your harddisk boot and table partition (the damaged one). Now let's start playing Write down in a paper sheet the guessed partitions and then run parted from the rescue linux: parted /dev/hda To see what you have rigth now type: print then remove every partition you have except 1 and 2 (Windows and extended one): rm minor_number where minor_number is the number in the first column of the partition to erase. When you are done, just create the new ones with guessed starts and ends: mkpart ext2/ext3/reiserfs/what-ever-you-had guessed_start guessed_stop mkpart linux-swap guessed_swap_start guessed_swap_stop To exit just type: quit To know more about parted type man parted or just type help inside parted.
