You can sort top by processtime (>), then it might highlight a particular bad performer. Try also iotop, incase it higlights a particular app that is always writing to disk. If you have an ageing processor, performing in cpu audio mixing via pulseaudio, can consume eg 30-40% cpu with 1 stream, more if you have two audio streams at once. It's something to think about. The second one is non-accelerated video drivers, if you are doing any 3d work/effects etc. For me, if you are browsing the web you migt use flask block/adblock to disable loading from certain sites.

I still think it is the 16 registers and thus > far less restrictive than "large chunks of data processed 64 bits at a > time" Depends on the operation at hand. If you need to do an XOR across a block of data then if you can do that in 64bit chunks instead of 32bit chucks, or even 16bit ones, then 64bit will win hands down. Also, many 64bit CPUs also have the capability to load four 16bit or two 32bit values into a 64bit register, then perform an operation on each value in one step. Again, a clear advantage for 64bit. >> But all that is beside the point.

That's not the same thing as saying that 64bit doesn't offer any advantages if you have less than 2GB. Again, for the record, I'm with Alan on this - you should generally choose 64bit over 32bit every time - but I'd also add the the following 3 exceptions: Your hardware doesn't support it (32bit CPU) Your main applications run faster in 32bit mode (per Jerry's post) The 64bit version has known issues (like Enrico's drivers) My original recommendation to Enrico was that if moving to 32bit sorted out his 64bit driver woes, then he should do that and wait for the 64bit versions to be fixed. Unless Enrico has the skill and time to fire up a debugger and fix the problem himself, then it's better to be productive in 32bit mode than suffer problems in 64bit mode. If you look at my original post on this thread, the second paragraph that seems to resulted in us going off on a tangent is aimed at the case of a *general purpose PC* - ie. something that spends a lot of its time idling and waiting for the user to input data, and even then I said "most of the time". I specifically excluded situations involving addressing large amounts of memory (>2GB) or spending a lot of time processing the kinds of data that see the biggest gains from 64bit from that. -- Andy The only person to have all his work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

solved tnx to the help of Josua Dietze at USB_ModeSwitch website.
I disabled this line in /lib/udev/rules.d/61-option-modem-modeswitch.rules
#ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1446",
RUN+="modem-modeswitch -v 0x%s{idVendor} -p 0x%s{idProduct} -t
option-zerocd"
and now it works even with no usb_modeswitch .

abrt making no sense
It alerts me, and shows a bug unreported. I tell it to report. It churns through seventy downloads, or so it says. When it thinks it's ready, I fill out its question as to what I was doing, and tell it to go. It gives me a box, labelled Report Done, but containing two error messages. One is called Bugzilla, with the rest in red, "Can't login. Check Edit->Plugins->Bugzilla and /etc/abrt/plugins/Bugzilla.conf. Ser" The other is called Logger, and reads "file:///var/log/abrt- logger" The first seems to expect me to read its mind, perhaps by going to the redhat bugzilla site and hitting Edit.

Help with Microsoft 4000 keyboard Zoom key?
I have just replaced my ailing Microsoft Natural Elite keyboard which has surprisingly served me well for about 11 years.. I've replaced it with the (wired) Microsoft Natural 4000 which all is working fine on except for the Zoom slider. It'd be handy to be able to map it somehow and so far no luck. There is also the Microsoft 7000 which is a wireless keyboard which appears to have the same slider key. It just creates repeated events when held up or down, nothing really special. xev does not pick up inputs from it at all, however the program showkey does: # press up keycode 418 press keycode 418 release # press down keycode 419 press keycode 419 release BTW, as long as I hold the key, it repeats 418/419 press. I've tried xbindkeys per some results on google, but it won't map anything >255. I keep reading about "keytouch" but not quite sure how to use it and seems a bit kludgy, but if that's the best solution I can try it again. I've been googling and can't find anything that seems to help so far, any help would be appreciated! -- Walter Francis khayts.us theblackmoor.net unlimitedphoto.com -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Re: Fedora 11 64bit Installtion on a New computer
Hello, I have Fedora 12 installed on this machine and it works wonderfully cept for the ATI drivers which i understand is not a Fedora issue it is a AMD issue. However I tried to install Fedora 11 64bit on a secondary drive to allow for me to use the things that require 3d support such as games. When i go to install Fedora 11 the computer shows the grub menu on the DVD and proceeds to try and load the installer however during the intial loading of Anaconda i get an error message saying that it was unable to configure X so dumping to the text installer. Now if this installer would still install all the packages the graphical one would i could then dabble with a custom corg.conf to get the display working, however this seems to only install 183 packages which I assume are the bare bones packages needed to boot into a Kernel. It also fails to configure or even detect my network card in this fashion as well.

fc11 - blank screen at boot after mobo upgrade
I had an old Epox mobo running with an old Athlon XP chip so I decided to upgrade. Before I made this decision I decided to upgrade from fc10 to fc11 using yum. Upgrade went well, rebooted, everything fine. After upgrading my Mobo and CPU to an Asus m4a78-em and a sempron 2.7GHz AM3 chip I booted up. All my drives are recognized, the grub prompt comes up (I'm dual booting with windows XP on a smaller drive) and life seems good until the screen goes blank. After booting couple of times I tried using noapic to no avail. Once more I tried but removed quiet from the grub kernel line. This time I see stuff happening but the text flies by so fast I can't read it, but at least I see the system trying to boot. I always upgrade using yum, never had a real problem I couldn't work out. I'm using stock LVM, never had a problem there either. I wonder if its grub but I didn't want to start messing around until I got a little advice. Also, I am dual booting windows on a separate drive. Any ideas?

But you need to be registered - and the very first time abrt ran, you were asked for your credentials. You need to goto buzilla.redhat.com and register for an account. Add that to the abrt preferences, and go back and resend your information, so YOUR PROBLEM can become a task for a developer. > The other is called Logger, and reads "file:///var/log/abrt- > logger" That's where it stored the information it wants to send to buzilla and it's also where it stores the error it received from bugzilla.

You can run "reports" where you search for existing reports, or see/manage the reports you've created. You can actually do quite a bit, but you need to either create a bug or work on an existing one. Bugzilla does take a while to get used to though - no arguing there. > I do edit /etc/abrt/plugins/Bugzilla.conf (That "Ser" makes no > sense.) I give it my login and password.

If you open abrt (Automatic Bug Report Tool - see it in your "System Tools" menu and choose plugins, then find "bugzilla" and hit configure, you may find it easier to manage. Make sure case and username are spelled exactly the same. And make sure it's the same address (as above) that is used by bugzilla. > Seems to me abrt needs a technical writer who knows English. > Badly.

Well... search my posts or bugzilla and you'll see that I've had my fair share of video issue both historically and recently. But after some playing around and a few of the bugs affecting me did get fixed, things are pretty good on that front. > Actually, I also think f12 is one of the best releases, > but I also guess it may be another 18 months or so before > X recovers from all the redesign and starts working > reliably again :-(. I have to agree a bit there. But then again this is Fedora, the cutting edge release. We have to expect a bit of that sort of thing, not that I am giving the developers free reign to ship alpha grade updates. I think we've made incredible progress since F8 or so. KDE4 used to be terrible and now I find it pretty polished. The thing that I'm finding is that Linux apps are starting to pass their Windows equivalents. In particular, I'm finding OO to be making some pretty good progress these days. Note that I didn't say things were perfect. I've got issues with sound myself. But the rate of improvement is incredible and if things keep going as they have been, Linux is going to be THE OS to be running, bar none, regardless of price, being open source, etc. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

WAV files in Evolution
I am looking for a good, fast, clean way to play WAV files in Evolution. I get these from Asterisk when I have a phone message. If I click on the Play button that Evolution shows me, nothing happens. If I click on the little arrow, I get a menu that lets me use Amarok or Kaffeine to play the message. This works, but using a huge, slow GUI application just to play a 10 second audio-only phone message is like killing a fly with a pile driver. I can save the WAV file and play it with a command like "play msg0001.WAV" and that works fine. What I would like is to find a way to get Evolution to do this by default when I click the Play button. I have been all through the Preferences menus in Evolution and the various System -> Preferences GNOME menus, but I can't find anywhere that I can change this. --Greg -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

A kernel line parameter (in grub.conf) or a setting in the initrd file specifies where to read to un-hibernate. If you've created a new swap since the initrd was created, you need to recreate the initrd or specify the swap file/partition to use on the kernel line. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Also, on my Evolution, all the open-with applications I've set up to deal with audio appear with the message. So if I put a small application into the list, that's an option as well.

I don't know if my experience with my HP PSC 2510 would be any help. But, it has 3 connections possible. USB, wired network, or Wifi. The documentation on the printer indicated the default IP address on the wired connection. I connected the printer to my system ethernet to ethernet and pointed my browser at it with http://192.168.1.1/ (I'm guessing at the IP address). Then I simply used the web admin interface to configure the wifi stuff...including WEP. So, the printer ended up with an IP address and was pingable from anywhere on my LAN. I then used the tools from hplip package to create the needed devices in F12. -- modem, adj.: Up-to-date, new-fangled, as in "Thoroughly Modem Millie." An unfortunate byproduct of kerning.

Barry Yu writes: Would appreciate any input that can enable me in F12 to make use of wi-fi printer HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m, when connected with usb cable it works fine but can't setup the wireless connection. A quick Google search found a manual for this printer. Which, I'm sure you also have. After you direct your attention to page 5 of this manual, you will discover that this printer does not like standard 802.11 networks, but it really wants a wireless router that supports some mutation called a "WiFi Protected Setup". Basically, a wi-fi router that, in addition to supporting ordinary wi-fi clients, the router also features a magical button that you press first, the press a matching magical button on this printer's display, and the printer established a connection to the router. It's all in your manual. So, unless your wi-fi router has this magical button, you're somewhat boned. But, according to the following pages in the manual, it's possible to get this router working with a standard wi-fi router, but you must configure it through a USB connection using the supplied Windows software. I haven't tried, but I'm rather skeptical that there's a Linux equivalent for this setup software. So, you're still boned. And, in either case, it's not clear what the printer would look like over wi-fi. Hopefully, it would look like a CUPS or an lpr host, and once you reconfigure your wi-fi router to turn off client isolation, you should be able to set it up like any other CUPS or an lpr-hosted printer. pgpLSXKI4oTVo.pgp Description: PGP signature -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Try it. I found this in Edit -> Plugins, but it's already checked. This appears to control whether or not the Play, Stop, Pause buttons appear with the WAV attachment. The problem is that when I click the Play button, nothing (visible or audible) happens. If I uncheck it and restart Evolution, then the Play-Stop-Pause buttons do not appear any more. I also tried adding a custom command in Nautilus, but I'm not certain how to go about doing that (I do not normally use Nautilus much). I tried using "play", "play %s", and "play -" as custom commands under Edit -> Preferences -> Media -> Music Player, but it doesn't alter the behavior of the Play button in Evolution for those WAV attachments. I forgot to mention that this is with F12. --Greg -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

A little more on this: I started evolution in a terminal window, and when I click the Play button, it says: ** Message: don't know how to handle audio/ms-gsm, rate=(int)8000, channels=(int)1, codec_data=(buffer)4001 --Greg -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
redirection puzzle
Greetings; I have a terminal program running on the far end of a bluetooth serial circuit that is capable of handling the reception, or sending, of a file via the zmodem protocol. Unforch, the linux version of sz seems to fall short in 2 respects. 1. I am only seeing two **B00 in the received string, I was under the impression there should be ***B00 etc, am I right|wrong? FWIW, if I fire up minicom, no characters are gobbled up from what I type on this end. And conversely, no characters are lost by minicom of those I type on the other end. 2. The man page for sz ignores any references to the proper redirection of the desired path, and while I can get it to attempt a send according to the traffic monitor in blueman-manager, in fact I see traffic going both ways in the blueman-manager status line, but nothing is actually transmitted to the other end, and in 30 seconds or so, sz reports: Retry 0: Timeout on pathname Transfer incomplete This in spite of the fact that I gave it an -C10 -b filename on the invocation. So what is the proper "<>>" way to make sz use /dev/rfcomm0 for all transfer I/O? Man bash gives no examples for redirection of stdout and stdin simultainiously(sp?)
