Re: [newbie] folding@home
From: Kenneth [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When I run [EMAIL PROTECTED] (nice setting 19) the Gnome system monitor
reports cpu usage at a 100% flatline without my running any other
progs but Gnome and system monitor. This doesn't sound very nice
to me - although it does appear that I can still run multiple major
applications with no apparrent problems.
Is this constant 100% cpu usage something I need to be
concerned about?
That is exactly what nice 19 means, Kenneth. Whenever the CPU is not
idle this application is scheduled to run. If the machine is idle then
nothing else runs. (Of course, your CPI activity monitor will show that
it is taking some of the CPU since it runs at a higher priority.)
If ANY higher priority tasks are on the OS's ready queue, programs
that are ready to run rather than waiting on IO or a timer timeout,
these tasks will get scheduled in preference to the nice 19 task with
a minor creeb. I understand that there is a fairness factor calculated
into the Linux kernel that allows even a nice 19 surrounded by a hoard
of higher priority tasks a wee bit of time to run every now and then.

That is exactly what nice 19 means, Kenneth. Whenever the CPU is not
idle this application is scheduled to run. If the machine is idle then
nothing else runs. (Of course, your CPI activity monitor will show that
it is taking some of the CPU since it runs at a higher priority.)
If ANY higher priority tasks are on the OS's ready queue, programs
that are ready to run rather than waiting on IO or a timer timeout,
these tasks will get scheduled in preference to the nice 19 task with
a minor
creeb.
I understand that there is a fairness factor calculated
into the Linux kernel that allows even a nice 19 surrounded by a hoard
of higher priority tasks a wee bit of time to run every now and then.

Is that cool or what? :)
Is creeb a specialised computer science term or a typo error

Haque [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon Dec 27, 2004 9:17 pm Subject: Re: [bytesforall_readers] Pls. submit information/experiences/reports on Tsunami at bytesforall.net Hi group, in light of the interest in post-Tsunami disaster mitigation projects, just so that it is on record, the SEANET (South East Asia Network of Amatuer Radio Operators) meets on HF Frequency 14.320 MHz +/- QRM every day at 1200Z (1200 GMT, 1800 Bangladesh) for many years now on USB - Upper Side Band. The purpose of the network is to share first medical traffic/civil emergency traffic and the net controller usually rotates the discussion with all the countries that have access to the range of the HF signal, typically from West Asia through to East Asia and the Pacific in a very wide circle as appropriate to the radio wave propogation. In 30 minutes the net controller canvasses all regions and asks for medical/emergency traffic and if there is none, any other traffic (messages) for operators in other countries. There is no prior requirement to participate, nor is it obligatory - and it is really for the enthuisasts at this point more than any other use. However it is open as per regulatory laws worldwide to Licensed radio amateur operators - anywhere. Now, this may sound antiquated in the era of the internet, but is very very appropriate for disaster mitigation networks where you know for sure, absolutely sure, double sure, that the radio network is working fine and will work on the day that youwill need it, it only requires a 12V cell battery to power up a radio transmitter/receiver in a manner to reach thousands' of miles away your party who can send help or send messages. I have participated before in such efforts, sadly this time am unable to do so due to other issue - and it takes time and efforts on a purely volunteer basis in order to reach out and help someone. There are thousands of radio amateurs with sets around Asia - Pacific, and they need to be encouraged to help out, and for those who still have connectivity to the 'net, they can act as a 'bridge' between civil and commercial and emergency worlds. However, it also requires planning in advance to be really effective, if you have lost battery power, and won't get back your mains electricity for a few days - you may end up being dead yourself. So if you permit an emergency task force kit to be setup so which can be AIRLIFTED, they can have a remote power pack, transceiver kit and a emergency communications handbook in order to send coded e-mail messages and act as a controller which can take on the civil emergencies coordination role - you will need training to use this stuff, and you will have to have lists of appropriate license holders who are registered volunteers with proper mindset to help out. -samudra, S21X N3RDX http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bytesforall_readers/message/4530 From: Subbiah Arunachalam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon Dec 27, 2004 6:15 pm Subject: A timely telephone call saves lives Friends: A former MSSRF knowledge centre volunteer, Mr Vijayakumar of Nallavadu (a coastal village in Pondicherry), did a wonderful thing.

Re: [newbie] Any 'Wine' expert out there?

If you're using the fake Windows installation, just install your applications in drive_c of your /home/user/.wine directory. Start wine with or without a terminal. If you want to see messages (while still getting wine configured and so forth), open a terminal and type wine at the prompt. The log of what's happening as wine start up and runs will show in the terminal window. Wine starts in its own separate window. You can set up a desktop icon to do this. You can also run wine from the launcher on the start menu by typing wine -- no separate terminal will open to show ongoing wine messages. Wine assumes it is in C: -- so you can usually start your program by typing [program_name].exe to start an application. Everything then should be exactly as it is under Windows. Once you're comfortable with how it works, you can create icons, links, and so forth to automate things and make it all appear more Windows-like. The only thing I would caution you about is in setting up your mime types -- don't allow Linux to automatically start an application using wine by clicking on a Windows executable. I like to use XWine (not the same thing as WineX which is the version of wine fully implementing DirectX for gaming). XWine came on my Mandrake CDs. It acts as a gui front-end to wine which helps with all aspects of installing and configuring both wine itself and Windows applications. I found it particularly useful in configuring each application as to which dlls had to be native or built-in. The configuration file it produced was quite informative. There has also recently been announced a new and improved Winetools for doing something similar. I've not tried it, so cannot really comment on how well it works. I have been confused about this simple little point to start with!! will most programs using windows code work or only those supported with a build of some type? I would like to run my Polar heart arte Monitor, my Printer (HP Laserjet 1000) and my digital camera with Wine if possible. Any equipment or peripheral should be installed in Linux and run from Linux. Windows apps running from wine will be able to find and use them. They should be identified in your wine configuration file. In particular, your printer (definitely) and your digital camera (likely) should be installed in Linux. I don't know if Linux will run your heart monitor. Since there are certain drivers and files connected with devices wine does not implement (and will not be implementing due to licensing issues), it is possible that wine will not run the heart monitor (actually it's likely that it will not). In general, devices must be run from Linux -- not wine. The Windows software for the devices can be run from wine (maybe -- depends on what dlls and so forth it needs), but not the devices themselves. If you need to run devices that Linux doesn't run, you should consider VMWare or Win4Lin. They install a virtual machine on your Linux machine and will run Windows. You need to already own a copy of Windows and install it in the virtual machine, and then install your device. deedee Registered Linux User #327485 Visit WordStar GNU/Linux http://www.wordstar2.com Also, see WordStar Users Group Community http://www.wordstar2.com/WordStar_Users/index.php -- ___ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
