Re: [ilugd] Optimum usage of my RAM

2005-05-28 Thread T.Meyarivan
 Why is swap being used when my RAM is free? How can i make my Linux
 use my RAM instead of swap, so i can utilize thats being left idle
 (remaining 100 megs of RAM).

lookup discussions around /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
(especially if you are using 2.6.x - the discussions
will point you to similar handles for 2.4.x)

[ilugd] CVS related issue

2005-05-28 Thread Aman Sharma
Hi all,
I have been using CVS for version control and for
a particular repository I am able to grant read or write permissions
to different users depending upon their CVS logins.
But I wanna ask whether it is feasible to give different
permissions to a particular cvs user for different modules within same
repository.
 e.g.
   -I have one cvs repository rep1 .In rep1,I have two modules
mod1  mod2. Now can I give read permission for mod1  write
permission for mod2 to a particular cvs user A .

CVS gurus please respond!

Regards,
-Aman Sharma

I have read an article which said something similar, but nothing much
changed. I tried decreasing swappiness to 10, but experienced little
changes.

hmmm...Maku can you elaborate how you got the job done??? I could do with 
some changes, even though they may be little.

Another *drastic* soln. might be removing swap??? I have a question...what 
happens if I dont have swap space and i run out of ram? does the system 
hangs/locks or it waits for space to be emptied out?

http://kerneltrap.org/node/3000 should give you enough pointers.  It
works only on 2.6 kernels

[ilugd] Update on lug-delhi.org companion site

2005-05-28 Thread Sandip Bhattacharya
Hi everyone!

The unofficial ILUGD companion site lug-delhi.org has been
reorganised. As you can see from http://www.lug-delhi.org, the site has
a new look with three distinct sections:
1. The wiki based knowledge base where anybody can contribute.
2. The forums, which act as a web based gateway to the ILUGD mailing
   lists.
3. Member blogs where individual blogs of ILUGD members are aggregated
   and shown in one place. If you want your blog added to this list, do
   mail me.

The home page shows the latest entries in each of these sections.

Comments, feedback, brickbats welcome.

Part of the credit for the new site design goes to my graphic designer
friend, who calls himself Frank J. Wolf. :)

All members whose blogs are presently setup are requested to send a
face pic of theirs - maximum width 90 pixels, preferably PNG with
transparent background. Take a look at my face in the blogs section to
make out the kind of photo of yours that is needed.

Thanks,

 Sandip

P.S. Yes, the wiki and the forums still havent got a consistent theme,
but I am working on it.

Just now, minutes before, I was emerging k3d (not k3b) on one tty, top
was running on another  i was logged into Gnome 2.10. emerging k3d
took my load averages to nearly 19, after which my PC froze (god knows
how high it would have went!). It returned back with a crashed X,
i386-pc-linux-gnu-g++ reporting an internal error (ghosh!). My RAM
usage went as high as 99%, with just about 2 megs free, SWAP was being
used full 100% (i have almost 200 megs swap).  at this point, i was
not even able to switch tty's or login to any one of them.

You see, something similar can happen if ur PC runs out of memory (grin)
