I live in a condo building, with a separate electric meter for each suite. I'm conserving a valuable resource, i.e. my bank account G, by shutting down the machine overnight, etc. I noticed a problem with suspend, but I didn't realize the connection with Nvidia 302.17. I do have a problem that occasionally an image on Firefox overflows this then infects all the other desktop displays: it is cured by killing FF re-opening it. That seems, however, to be due to Firefox 13 or possibly Flash, not to Nvidia, which I've only just updated. It seems to be a problem with Nvidia+Flash. E.g. start a Youtube Flash video in FF. Then drag an xterm over the FF window. You've seen the images where xterms have a background image? Well this goes one step further... there's actually a live video image playing under the text. Somewhat distracting, to say the least. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org

IRL I suspect that nobody bothers to do that, but it's nice to know in case something c++ starts misbehaving right after updating gcc. I have never had any problems with C++ applications. What definitely doesn't work, is to compile a C++ application with a newer compiler and try to run it on an old system, i.e. a system where the newer libstdc++ is not installed. Helmut.

Have others noticed this -- it seems to be a recent innovation -- is it a known ploy of server managers ? Are you using traffic shaping like a police filter, or is there shaping somewhere in the path? - most of the linux shaping methods work on a burst principle that produces a given throughput by gating the traffic for an average throughput. I have seen the effect you mention with block transfer protocols (ftp) and wget when trying to use its built in bandwidth regulation which works similarly to when traffic shaping is in effect. There seems to be an interaction between the two instances of regulating the traffic to create an effect like you have seen. This also affects other traffic trying to use the link at the same time as the available bandwidth gets very choppy. I have less experience with other than linux based shaping methods such as Cisco QoS methods but have not seen the same effect there. BillK

Re: [gentoo-user] VMWare Hypervisor - SD vs CF card?

Is there any reason NOT to do this? If you have a small ESX cluster, there are numerous advantages to having some local storage on each your ESX hosts in addition to your primary SAN storage: We actually will be using ONLY local storage... Dell R515's with 8 450GB SAS drives in RAID10 (with one hot spare assigned)... A decent SAN wasn't in the budget (yet, but we may go that route in a year or two)... - Lastly, I never really have been a fan of ESXi as an upgrade from ESX.seems that it was more driven by vmware making windows admins feel more confident since they didn't have to learn linux for ESX console. This is a new install, so not an 'upgrade'... But, there is nothing keeping you from getting mirrored CF/SD cards for the hypervisor boot and also keeping a few mirrored 2TB SATA drives on each host for local datastores (7200rpm SATA is much cheaper than 15K rpm SAS). I do plan on having a couple of large SATA drives in RAID0 (for speed) for temporary snapshots (which I then backup using rsnapshot or my VM backup s/w) and for if I ever need to add some drives to my RAID10 (probably won't, the 1.7TB I'll have is 4 times what we have now which is only 70% utilized)... I get the CF cards today (already have the adapters), so we'll see how this goes this weekend...

Ultimately they both probably have the same flash chips inside of them so if your main concern is reliability, I don't think it matters. If your concern is performance, CF seems to be used in more professional applications and more high-speed CF cards are readily available. In either case I would suggest avoiding the cheap no-name brands. Sandisk Extreme Pro is likely the fastest card you can buy (of either CF or SD form factor), it is available up to 100MB/sec write speeds, but of course your card reader/host needs to support speeds like that. Sandisk also routinely has more than 10x the random I/O performance of most of the other brands which is important when using it on a computer and not in a linear recording device (photos/video).

I can see that 295.53 and 295.59 are available. Use 295.59. I've updated to the latest testing 302.17 it's working ok so far. I just did the same update. I thought at first everything was okay, then I ran glxgears, which runs at 1/5 normal speed. Going back to 295.59 fixed it. Very puzzling, since there was nothing unusual in Xorg.0.log. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=176815 Would you mind translating that bulletin into Greek so I can understand it? ;) Aha. I re-emerged nvidia-drivers-302.17 and the lightbulb lit up: $glxgears Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate. 302 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.292 FPS Sure enough, my monitor's vertical refresh rate is 60Hz. I guess the logic is that the video card needn't render more frames than the monitor can display each second? Yes. You can set this stuff up in the nvidia-settings control panel. Unfortunately, the Gentoo nvidia-drivers ebuild isn't the best, and it doesn't install a start-up launch script for nvidia-settings (like Ubuntu and other distros do.) So when you change settings, you need to manually run nvidia-settings to restore them again after every login. I solved this problem by creating an executable file: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/95-nvidia-settings with the following contents: #!/bin/sh [ -x /opt/bin/nvidia-settings ] /opt/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only /dev/null 21 This restores the settings automatically on every X11 login. Ah well, welcome to Gentoo :-P

Try to run startx as a user instead of using xdm and see if you get any better errors/logs. If you have another computer/device SSH into your problematic computer before starting X so you can see if it's still alive, just unresponsive at the local terminal. Maybe then you can see logs and stuff. revdep-rebuild just to ensure everything is consistent on your system. I rebuild all of my x11-drivers it rebuild the nvidia driver along with a couple of others. I used startx and got the errors below. I have a feeling it has something to do with my nVidia card (Geforce 8400GS) SSH is not active anymore. It is also the computer that shares the internet and no one can access the internet either. Okay now I think we are getting somewhere. Didn't think to leave XDM out but I did do it. It still froze but I got some useful information soon as it did freeze. This is from /var/log/messages Jun 22 11:52:52 beast kernel: NVRM: Xid (:02:00): 6, PE0001 Jun 22 11:52:54 beast kernel: NVRM: os_schedule: Attempted to yield the CPU while in atomic or interrupt context Jun 22 11:52:54 beast kernel: NVRM: Xid (:02:00): 3, C 0002 SC 0003 M 0100 Data Jun 22 11:53:03 beast kernel: NVRM: os_schedule: Attempted to yield the CPU while in atomic or interrupt context Jun 22 11:53:05 beast kernel: NVRM: os_schedule: Attempted to yield the CPU while in atomic or interrupt context Jun 22 11:53:08 beast kernel: NVRM: os_schedule: Attempted to yield the CPU while in atomic or interrupt context That was printed as soon as XFCE froze. Okay, now I googled those errors and it seems to be a fairly common problem. The workaround I saw is to add nolapic_timer to your kernel commandline. Try that, reboot and cross your fingers. ;) Yeah I see that too. Tried to add that to my grub.conf/menu.lst. It did not work for me. I rebuild my kernel for nouveau drivers. Rebuilt xorg-drivers and mesa, installed xf86-video-nouveau. So far it is not working, still might have to do some tweaking. if you use nvidia binary, turn off all nvidia graphics related stuff in the kernel and to be sure nothing screws you over - unmerge nouveau. If you use nouveau, try the binary driver. There are reasons, Linus does not like nvidia very much. -- #163933 It was working with this same kernel. I can't figure out for the life of me why it is not working now. I have a feeling after 6 months of upgrades something broke in that time. I am fine with the nouveau driver. I only really want a GUI to play movies. -- Willie Matthews matthews.wil...@gmail.com A bit off topic but you don't really need a full GUI for movies. Try just X + mplayer, or XBMC. Dunno if those alone would work for you (and you probably want to fix your problems anyway). Depending on your CPU and video card, the proprietary drivers may help you if you can use VDPAU for video acceleration. -- Willie Matthews matthews.wil...@gmail.com
Re: [gentoo-user] Just a heads-up, I think =sys-libs/glibc-2.14.1-r3 is a stinker.

Wow. Just wow. This is incredible.
This is repeatable for me.

Can you upgrage to glibc-2.15?
Sure. It's going to be another full reinstall.
Forgot to try this. Will do tomorrow.
Can you tweak you gcc flags to something more conventional and see if the
problem persists?
Those CFLAGS should be equivalent to:
CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe -ggdb3 --march=native.
But I'll try making it just -O2 -pipe --march=native.
Just an update: Tried CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe --march=native -ggdb3. Same results.
If you are interested in submitting a patch to the upstream then you can
build
the glibc test suite with your gcc flags and check if the tests pass.
I do still have a working gentoo laptop I could try this on...but it
has an i3 proc, as opposed to the core 2 xeon or the phenom 9650. Have
a link to instructions?
