This is true, as far as it goes. However, the kernel makes good use of physical memory pages not currently needed by applications. It uses them to cache disk contents and reduce the amount of physical disk I/O required to satisfy any given set of file system requests. So even if your application mix never needs more than, say, 1GB, having 2GB or 4GB (or any larger amount, as long as your hardware is such that it's actually accessible, which depends in large part on the CPU you're using--modern systems can all typically access at least 2 or 3GB), having more than that much physical RAM can still improve your system's overall throughput. > -- > Cheers, >Carlos E.

[opensuse] double X server problem ATI fglrx driver SOLVED
For the archive... I recently updated an on-board pci video with the ATI X1050 (hardware) and activated the card's 3D accelerator (see the archive for the details). I soon noticed that two X servers were running (one session owner, the other sleeping) both on :0 vtty7, the one looking like a fork of the other... same mem, same start time, incremental process id, no associated -:0 and no running time... obviously not doing anything except taking up memory and irritating me. :-O Well, I wanted the fglrx driver from ATI for the 3D acceleration and failed to realize that the larger contribution of the driver is dual head support. Although I had the xorg.conf configured as only one screen, CLONE mode off, Xinerama off, DesktopSetup "s" (single), and have only ONE display card with only ONE monitor... the silly driver starts a second X server to handle the second head --- if I ever want to add it ! I have not been able to find a way to prevent the startup, except to turn on Xinerama. Xinerama will handle both monitors on one X server as one large desk... or, by turning Xinerama off two X servers can be running, one for each of the monitors. If I turn on Xinerama then the second X server does not startup... *and* 3D acceleration is not activated. Of course all the help on the web is regarding HOWTO make dual heads work... not HOWTO disable dual heads :^)So, it looks like this little feature is normal... the second server (always has a larger process number and Stat codes of SL+ ) can be killed -SIGTERM, and the primary session owner will function fine without it--- (has a lower process id, active time, and Stat codes of SLs+ ). Or if memory is not an issue... just let it sit in memory I'm pretty sure its not a trojan waiting to do something naughty. Probably not.

Re: [opensuse] RE: Current Kernal handeling of multi core 64bit Processors
Carlos, Exactly the response I was looking for. After having to deal with the appalling memory management of other PC O/S you have answered the question perfectly.

Now with the program came a file that i putt in the /etc/cron.d dir because the program instructed me to do that. Basically what I want to do is to let the program run once a minute. The file I putt in the cron.d dir contains these entries : * * * * * root/usr/bin/ipdetect.sh */15 * * * * root/usr/bin/ipdetect.sh -p host -r browser -c Now cron doesn't run the ipdetect script, never. I did some investigation and I found out that cron doesn't have any log files or conf files on my system, which I thought was a bit strange. cron logs via syslog; there should be log records about the start of each job in /var/log/messages. The exception is when your crontab line starts with "-" (a hyphen), then job start logging is turned off. (In fact, when your ipdetect cron job really works, you might want to turn off job start logging that way.) If there are no respective log entries, execute "touch /etc/cron.d" to be on the save side. cron detects changes in files in cron.d only if the timestamp of the directory /etc/cron.d changes as well. Alternatively, call "rccron restart". After touching cron.d, there must be log entry that cron re-read the crontab files, maybe one or two minutes later. Your crontab syntax itself is OK, that's not the cause.

Maybe you'll start your investigation by discarding the "-" at the start of the run-crons command line in /etc/crontab. Then the execution of run-crons is logged in syslog. There you can see if it is called at all. Then, run "sh -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons" to see what happens in the run-cron script and what scripts are called when. Maybe the check for ac-power is wrong, or whatever. Up to 10.0, do *not* create the timestamp file in /var/spool/cron/lastrun, to the contrary: _remove it_ for each and every test anew. You might think that you can set the timestamp of that file with touch, but that's not the case: run-cron uses its ctime, not its mtime. So "ls -l" does not show you the time that would be used. From 10.1 onwards, there is a config variable in /etc/sysconfig/cron that tells when cron.daily/* should be executed. I hope that puts you on the right track.

If so, it is not too surprising that Dell would rather get them from M$. That way they should not have M$ telling their customers that running SLES is not supported in a M$ virtual machine.

Re: [opensuse] 4GB computer slowdown
Regarding the issue that Suse 10.2 x64 hangs, I've already tried the failsafe mode to no result, it still hangs. I'll investigate more tomorrow, since I have to get up in the morning to go to work :) Now, the ATI Driver is probably to blame, though it worked fine on the same system when I had only 2 GB of RAM. Probably he doesn't like the extra 2GB or there is a mixup with the memory addressing, since I am currently using the x32 version of suse (the x64 can't be installed, for it hangs :( ).

IF yes, good. If no, then you may have timing issues between the modules that may be causing your lock-ups. Are you keeping the 4GB in matched pairs? Have you swapped the pairs in their sockets? I'm not familiar with your mainboard but have you made sure the BIOS is set for default timings and not for any performance settings? Same for video settings within the BIOS. Have you checked for and applied the latest BIOS for this mainboard? You won't be able to use all 4GB because the BIOS maps out PCI, DMA and other things into the high end of your 4GB. The exact amount reserved is usually mainboard/BIOS dependent. Your swap space/file has nothing to do with this unless your system is somehow using all available RAM and immediately using swap during boot - unlikely.

Fairly asked question? This is either a mistake, in that John suggested the FUD part of the question to refer to the validity of Ballmer's claims, or a troll, and I suspect the former. The Linux mailing lists have been all over Monkey-Boy Steve Ballmer's comments. Here's just one quote, from http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9005171 November 16, 2006 (Computerworld) -- In comments confirming the open-source community's suspicions, Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer today declared his belief that the Linux operating system infringes on Microsoft's intellectual property. In a question-and-answer session after his keynote speech at the Professional Association for SQL Server (PASS) conference in Seattle, Ballmer said Microsoft was motivated to sign a deal with SUSE Linux distributor Novell Inc. earlier this month because Linux "uses our intellectual property" and Microsoft wanted to "get the appropriate economic return for our shareholders from our innovation." -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Or it may be the xorg changes, and the nvidia drivers. Or it may be because of the xinerama setup I'm using, with one DVI and one VGA monitor ... there are so many variables. I had this setup before wroking, and it started to freeze recently, after the xorg update. It may be coincidence with a bad card, of course. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse] cron issue
Hello everyone. I've been having problems with cron running cron.daily jobs. I can't for the life of me figure it out and it is embarrassing and frustrating. First off cron doesn't log for shit. Sendmail wasn't running so I turned postfix on to see if mail shows up in root, it hasn't after 6 hours. I can see cron starting up in /var/log/messages, but that is it. I simply want to place a script called backup under cron.daily. So I run service cron restart, it checks /var/spool/tabs/ and /etc/crontab. The crontab is the default and should run cron.daily scripts. I've read that I need a file cron.daily under lastrun (which is empty now) so it's timestamp can be used. I've tried manually creating this and it doesn't work. Please HELP! Where do I look to see what is going wrong. I need hints. I *should* be able to reinstall cron, put a file under cron.daily, and sit back and relax (ie. cron.daily jobs are run by default on a fresh system with cron), but this doesn't work. Cron seems to be running (ie, sleeping, but not zombie or defunct). According to timestamps it is not reading any files in the system every 15 minutes and it should at least look in lastrun I believe. Here's some debug info. I restarted cron at 11:01 and it is a fresh install (uninstalled through yast, then reinstalled) dendrite:/var/spool # ls -lu /etc/cron.daily/ total 52 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 409 2007-05-07 16:10 backup -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2928 2007-05-03 15:55 beagle-crawl-system -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 393 2007-05-03 15:55 logrotate -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 948 2007-05-03 15:55 suse-clean_catman tail /var/log/cron | grep -i cron May 8 11:01:35 dendrite /usr/sbin/cron[8398]: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0) dendrite:/var/spool # ls -lu /var/spool/cron/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 2007-05-06 04:00 lastrun drwx-- 2 root root 48 2007-05-08 11:01 tabs dendrite:/var/spool # ls -lu /etc/crontab -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 274 2007-05-08 11:01 /etc/crontab dendrite:/var/spool # cat /etc/crontab SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/lib/news/bin MAILTO=root # # check scripts in cron.hourly, cron.daily, cron.weekly, and cron.monthly # -*/15 * * * * root test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons > /dev/null 2>&1 dendrite:/var/spool # ls -lu /var/spool/cron/tabs/ total 0 dendrite:/var/spool # ps -Al | grep cron 1 S 0 8398 1 0 78 0 - 494 - ?00:00:00 cron dendrite:/var/spool # ps -Al | grep syslog 5 S 0 3023 1 0 75 0 - 1239 - ?00:00:19 syslog-ng 5 S 0 3043 1 0 75 0 - 430 syslog ?00:00:14 klogd dendrite:/var/spool # cat /etc/cron.daily/backup #!/bin/sh date >> /var/log/backup.log mount -v /backup >> /var/log/backup.log rsync -au / /backup/ --exclude ppg --exclude fmri --exclude /Network/people --exclude /backup --exclude /sys --exclude /proc --exclude /var/tmp --exclude /backup --exclude /home/bruss/external_mp3.dir --exclude /mnt >> /var/log/backup.log umount /backup >> /var/log/backup.log echo "backup complete" >> /var/log/backup.log dendrite:/var/spool # Perhaps I should compile it from source, this is a yast binary.

Chances are very good that your AppArmor profiles are all out of date. In August 2006 we modified the AppArmor profile language to address failings; the full details are here: http://marc.info/?l=apparmor-general&m=115477304809811&w=4 The summary of the changes is that you now need 'm' privileges in profiles to specify that an executable or library may be mapped with executable privileges. And it is my guess that all those 'rpmnew' profiles that are being skipped in the log below were ones that we modified to also include 'm' rules everywhere. The symptom of failure to map a library with execute permission is usually a segmentation fault. I would suggest either inspecting the .rpmnew profiles to see what new privileges to add to your profiles, or placing all your applications back into learning mode and using the logprof utility to update the profiles over time. Check to see if you have an /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/base.rpmnew. If so, you will fix many problems most quickly by making the same changes we did -- you can either copy this file over your existing abstractions/base or you can make the changes by hand, whatever works best for you. > Loading AppArmor profiles Skipping profile > /etc/apparmor.d/bin.netstat.rpmnew > Skipping profile /etc/apparmor.d/sbin.klogd.rpmnew ... > /sbin/klogd: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: failed > to map segment from shared object: Operation not permitted If you check the differences between your existing /etc/apparmor.d/sbin.klogd file and the new /etc/apparmor.d/sbin.klogd.rpmnew file, I think you will see that some 'm' bits are missing. The libc.so.6 failure comes from abstractions/base though.. Sadly, there is no good way to find _only_ the changes we made and apply them to your already-existing profiles. :( Some day. But for now, the best we can suggest is to hand-inspect your .rpmnew files and add whatever looks important to your existing profiles, or copy the .rpmnew files over your profiles and re-generate whatever local modifications you needed. Whichever seems easier.. Thanks pgp8w4Z4eARcW.pgp Description: PGP signature

I have a couple of ideas for you, and some comment... ... first, almost all intermittent problems are hardware--- like 99.9% of them. At this point I would be suspecting the video card--- memory or chip. The nvidia geforce chips are famous for crapping out... because they are usually surface mounted, and when they get hot they break free from their mounting. (one possibility) The other possibility is that there is a memory problem on the card... can cause the same kinds of flaky lock-ups that memory problems cause on the bus. Bottom line, try another card. The other thing you might want to look at is your xorg.conf file. I have been experimenting with my ATI setup and have been able to force my system to "lock" (and I do mean locked... kernel is dead not even a panic), by changing some of the settings (mouse, monitor, device) in xorg.conf. This is a disturbing revelation for me... because in the unix environment *nothing* should be able to bring the system down --- especially X... thats sounding like Windoze. In other words, there may be problems with X and the server may not be stable, or may not start, or my lock... but the system should *never* go down because of it... so some serious breaches are occurring somewhere (something is rotten in Denmark!). Obviously the the xserver code is too closely linked to the hardware/kernel lately. Unrelated to your problem... at the moment my ATI machine has two(2) copies of X running ... only after updating xorg and installing the ATI fglrx driver for 3D support?? Well, it may be normal... but I can't prove it. It probably is a problem... but I'm not finding much to help me figure it out.

For now I'm going to use an older 3ware card ( 95008mi) in this machine so that I can get it up an going. I'm planning to build a new server again in near future an will use the 9650 card in that machine then after you get the new 10.3 out in production. Thanks for trying to help me, I just need to get this machine back up and in use an the new / older 95008mi card should help me in that for now. I have wasted enough time on this issue at this time an finally convinced my boss that I need to go with another card for now. Now after this is done he wants me to look into clustering software for two different machines here with linux. I will save that for another message later to the list.

You won't see more than 3.5 (or 3) GB available in Linux, unless you use the 64bit version. That is inevitable.

Yes, and the kernel driver by definition is linked in kernel space. We are *not* talking about user programs here. > So no kernel code is actually compiled into the nVidia drivers, correct? This is exactly where the trouble starts. The driver uses kernel headers, for instance. Also, compilation is irrelevant, it's linking.

But that is not the point, there are many kernel developers who don't. That is the point.

Under Beryl-manager->Desktop->Desktop > Cube->Options->Multimonitor mode->One big cube/Multiple cubes. >From the compiz maintainer: It's not really possible to get multiple independent cubes in either compiz or beryl at the moment. The input transformation support that will be added to compiz soon will allow this but without that it's impossible. The beryl option that is called multiple-cubes is the behavior of compiz, which is a different cube face for each monitor but they are not independent (you can't rotate one without rotating all other ones). The "one big cube" option in beryl is just a small hack for those who prefer it to look like one big cube instead of mapping each monitor to a separate cube face. It doesn't change any functionality, it just makes it look like compiz in not multi-head aware. - David -- JP Rosevear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
