iotop (in portage) may help?

There is another app, that I've never tried but folks rave
about, memtop, but it's not in portage.


A while back, I posted about Ftrace (function trace) and some
non portage ebuild, that may help.

hth,

KDE's "System Activity" (KSysGuard) is more accurate.

I think the best way to measure how much memory a process is using is to
kill it and see how much memory is freed.

I know, the VIRT column shows the size of the virtual adress space of the 
process, and this has nothing to do with the real, physical amount of memory 
allocated.

The RES column shows the resident memory, i.e. those pages actually in use and 
kept in memory, exclusive those pages swapped out. This column shows currently 
1185M (after rebooting this morning)

It may not be as useless as you think.  Try to search for fhandle and you'll 
see it coming up.  It should also have a little box for you to tick, which is 
what you were asking for.

You don't search for CONFIG_FHANDLE, just FHANDLE or fhandle. Both
menuconfig and xconfig find it here, don't be so quick to blame the
software.

[gentoo-user] vmware-player-6.0.0.1295980 and gnome?

2013-12-27 Thread Stefan G. Weichinger

greets ...

I was curious again and unmasked the hardmasked gnome-3.10-stuff as
mentioned in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486484

So far it works fine on both my desktop and thinkpad.

The only issue I see right now is vmware-player crashing when I want to
open/resume my small Windows-VM. This might have to do with gnome-3.10
or not, no idea!

Does anyone else here have problems with the player lately? Couldn't
find anything on bgo.

Maybe I should install a small WM in parallel to check if it's gnome or
not. Recommendations?

The underlying reason for needing windows in a VM is the fact that I
can't sync my Suunto Ambit2 watch with movescount.com as they don't
provide a linux-binary and the moveslink-windows-binary does not install
with wine here.

See

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30753

... would be great if someone knows a solution for this as well!

Thanks!
Stefan
