Re: Slow network with F13

The disk read speed on the F13 box looks to be ~ 75 MB/s, so it doesn't seem to be the bottleneck. I'd try to test the network and disk aspects separately. You might want to give ttcp a try between the two boxes and test just the network speed. For all we know, you might be seeing a slower data path to the disks.

That's the right place. But on the Setup Basic page you should set the DHCP scope to exclude the addresses you're using there. Click 'Add' and enter the info in all the fields correctly, else when you save/apply, it blanks them all out again (just the one you're working on; previous saves should not go blank from messing up a new one). Enter the MACs in the form 01:23:45:ab:cd:ef (i.e. not 012345abcdef, nor 01-23-45-ab-cd-ef, nor even cisco's 0123.45ab.cdef format). I use the NetBIOS name in the Host name field. If they're members of a domain, you should use the DHCP server of the domain controller, as DD-WRT's DHCP server is lacking a few features (e.g. no matter what IP is set for the Gateway in Network Setup the DHCP server instead assigns the Local IP Address as the Gateway when responding to BOOTP requests... it's also slow to respond). I use 10080 minutes for the Lease Time (1440 minutes is 1 day, of course). You're supposed to be able to leave that one blank (I think it defaults to 4 days if blank), but I fill it in anyway. You cannot assign the same IP to multiple MACs (even if they're the wired and wireless interfaces on the same machine and are configured so only one can be active at a time). For the laptop I usually use on a dock, I have 3 IPs reserved (for wireless, NIC, and the dock's NIC). Once you get the format right so it saves OK, you can click 'Add' enough times to open the number of IP's you want to reserve and do them all at once, then click Save... but that's not much faster than saving them one-at-a-time. Once they're all saved, click Apply Settings. When it comes back, click Reboot Router, then the Static Leases should work. This has me really frustrated! Perhaps I don't have the right incantation but I'm unable to enter more than seven dhcp address assignments and keep them. I have a total of 17 that I need. I've entered all 17 of them and I can go through data entry box by box and do a little double click routine and each one fills in so it remembers what I've done, even through a power down! But those in excess of the first 7 are lost from the list of DHCP clients under the wireless system information tab! I fill in a few lines, click save then click apply and then go on and do some more up to the 16th line. They are not really applied it seems since they don' t appear in the dhcp client list? If I enter the 17th line and save they are immediately stripped out back to the first seven? I'm working from Firefox and did the Tools Start Private Browsing thing if that matters but saw no change. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Not really... however, it may be that the developers of DD-WRT never dreamed anyone would want more than a handful of DHCP assignments, so the functionality just isn't there.

I changed too dhcp since there were fewer router configuration problems using it. Some of the devices are portable and have been taken on vacation by the users, system changes now are a major effort but I may have to bite the bullet. It's more likely though that I will simply trash the router which has been nothing but grief since I bought it. I had hoped to make something useful of it ... I have a different router on order from a different manufacturer, I feel I got stuck with the WNDR3300! Thanks for your thoughts.

One is i686 (Pentium III (Coppermine) 800 MHz), 512 Mbytes memory and the other one is x86_64 (AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 1800 MHz, 2 Gbytes memory. I had installed F12 on both of them. The /boot (ext4) is 200 Mbytes on both computer. I decided to do preupgrade on both (F12 - F13). Since the /boot is only 200 Mbytes I followed the instructions published on Fedora wiki How to use PreUpgrade (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PreUpgrade). The preupgrade of the i686 went fine. It only did do the first step so when I rebooted the computer I only needed to configure the network as stated in the wiki. When I tried to preupgrade the x86_64 using same method as with the i686 the /boot got full and the preupgrade program crashed. I have goggled and not found this problem. Have other same problem with x86_64 or is there other way to do this without resizing /boot? PS The rest of the disk is LVM on both computers. -- Regards Jon Ingason -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
F13: How to reset KDE user/session desktop to its defaults?
Since I am a heavy gnome desktop user, I decided to take a look at KDE. The first thing I tried to do was to figure out how to move the bottom panel to the top, and I tried to drag and move it, but in the process, I peeled something out from the bottom and I unexpectedly dropped it into the middle of the screen... it appeared as a partial window, there was only the title bar and what appeared to be, a 1/4 semi-window with no content and it was not a complete box encapsulation, it looked like two sticks on the left and right. I tried to put this panel back into the bottom panel, to no avail, giving up, I ended up deleting it. I noted that the bottom panel was not looking the same from its default. What I would like to do is to restore/reset the desktop back to a first time user. Is this possible? Some say to delete the .kde4 in the user's home directory but on F13, I only see .kde, not .kde3 nor .kde4, so I am assuming that F13 by default is probably KDE 3? As noted, I have amarok and perhaps other kde apps in gnome so it is perhaps not a good idea to simply blow away the .kde directory nor to simply rename the .kde to something else and expect to recover my gnome kde configurations, piecewise? In particular, I definitely do not want to mess up my gnome settings, but since I am new to KDE, all I care is to figure out how to restore KDE to its new user defaults and proceed to learn how to configure KDE to my taste. Any advice? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Looking at the tail end of dmesg moments after you've inserted a drive is an easy way to see where the system finds it. And you don't need to be the root user to read that info. With fdisk, you have to be familiar with all your drives on the system, so you can tell apart the newly inserted one from the others. That's probably not too hard to do with a single USB flash drive, but gets complex with multiple drives. With gparted, you can see the size of each drive when you go to select the drive to work on - it works as long as you do not have 2 drives of the same size plugged in.

Kmail - Hard-wrapping URLs when pasting
Hello everyone, I'm runing 1.13.5 (Fedora 12) and noticed that, on the Composer window, when I paste a long URL it hard-wraps it at the configured word wrap at setting. This is not the behavior when you actually type it (there are some smarts there that will detect you are writing an URL and won't wrap it) but it doesn't when you paste it. This used to work back in Fedora 8 (don't know what Kmail version was over there). I've looked every setting and can't find any option for it.

I found something. I forgot to mention that I'm running Gnome and I'm suspecting some issues there (KDE app on Gnome). If I copy from Firefox (GTK app) and paste the URL into Kmail (QT app) I see this behavior (hard wraps it). I now tried copying from K3B (some long string I typed on one of the config widgets) and when I paste that into Kmail it works perfectly (it doesn't wraps it). At least now I know it's some inter-desktop-environment issue. If anyone knows a way around this please let me know. I'll update the thread if I find anything.

When you add new Panel, the first one will be installed at top of your desktop. Be sure to put Task manger back onto Panel first, followed by System Tray, then Digital Clock and then anything else you want after that. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I couldn't explain why is so, but I think this is an PA bug. Currently the playback works every way but, recording not. When I try to use Empathy jabber voice call option to my partner, then rings out with voice, but after pick up - for an shiny brief moment - the mic works, after that no more - and pops out an error that couldn't link source (maybe the thread makes itsef suicide, perhaps?). After that I have made an second try - I have attached an USB soundcard - what is widely usable on many linux (it uses Cystal Sound chipset). The result was disappointing - here the mic worked as should, but I heard no voice in my headphone, nor even at my speakers. Anybody could confirm this is an bug? Is there a known solution? PS: If needed, I'm ready to debug. Thanks, Zoltan -- PGP: 06853DF7 Usually, when I say things about Pulse Audio, others gently correct me. Sounds like you have two separate problems...without the USB sound card, your microphone stops working. With the USB sound card, your speakers/headphones stop working. I think you need to debug each problem separately. Do you have pavucontrol installed? rpm -q -i pavucontrol -- yum install pavucontrol Yes. The whole PA set. I'd check what pavucontrol tells you about the volume settings for your input devices and output devices. Please make sure nothing is muted. Checked twice. Nothing is turned off. When you add the USB sound card, I'd expect separate controls for the second sound card. I only have one sound card...I'd expect Pulse Audio to supply a way to select the sink (speaker/headphone) and the source (microphone) to use when you have multiple sound cards. I'm not sure how to select the source or sink when one has multiple sound cards. Hopefully, others will answer. Before running empathy, does your microphone work when you do not have the USB sound card? There is no sign, to there is some activity on monitors. For the stereo analog device monitoring - it's pulsing as should, but for mic - it's only seems for me nothing happens. After running empathy, do you need to reboot to get your microphone to work? No. If you look at the pavucontrol settings for the microphone before starting empathy and compare those settings after you start empathy, what changes? Nothing. I could control the volume up to 4x to the default, but nothing changes. If I call my partner through empathy, then, I could hear him, but I couldn't answer - he says he only hears from me garbage noice, or snatches. Before running empathy, your speaker/headphones work when you have a second sound card? When the second usb card is inserted, and switching to the output, and input - strangely the situation flips. There is totally silence from speakers, but mic works. The problem gets harder, when I say that I have also an integrated mic next to the built-in cam, and there is no any control/adjust it/switch between the headphone mic and the built-in one. After running empathy, do you need to reboot to have your speaker/microphones work? Sometimes Empathy Voip part immediatelly brokes, when the call is received - or sent and picked up. Sometimes when I call - then doesn't get's broken, just works without my mic. But when gets broken, yes - I need to restart the whole machine, or kill the whole empathy - to release from freeze. What pavucontrol settings change for your speaker/headphones? I always look at http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup when I have problems with Pulse Audio...nothing jumps out at me that may help you. I'm curious what does Empathy think it's using for sound? Is it Alsa or what? It's alsa, with the control of PA - I think. I have installed earler alsa and oss compatibility, Jack, and ESD too - sometimes earlier this repaired the PA. But this time not. Also I know perfectSetup, I always begin here - when problems appearing around PA. Is there anything in /var/log/messages from pulseaudio when you run empathy? Some bug reports suggest doing pulseaudio -vvv. Normally, pulseaudio is running as a user startup application (or so I think). Can one do kill pulseaudio pulseaudio -vvv somefile.txt and see if there are any useful pulseaudio messages. I have no idea what pulseaudio -vvv produces...it may be lots of output. pulseaudio -vvv may have so many messages audio quality will be bad.

I have also seen special embedded linux drivers that provide an ioctl to let the process get a set of physically contiguous pages and map the space to user virtual space. This is for performance reasons to reduce copying from user space to kernel space when large amounts of data need to be moved. This is not a new idea. it has been around for many years. I first saw it in Linux back in 1998/1999. Perhaps I misunderstood. Do both of the following necessarily require physically contiguous memory? char fred[69000]; char *greg=malloc(96000); Would they sometimes require physically contiguous memory? It depends on what you want to achieve. If the target device you will write that buffer to can handle a contiguous physical space of, say ... a few pages, then you would want to ask the special driver of that device, via an ioctl, to give you those pages, and map them to user virtual space - i.e. you would not allocate them from the heap. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

It will replace all your F12 rpm's with F13 rpm's and then you Reboot your computer into a F13 kernel, and the LAST thing you have to do is rpm -qa | grep kernel that will display all the F12 kernels left behind, you do a yum remove any kernels left behind. If I use the command line and Copy and Paste those old F12 kernels at yum remove it makes it easier. And very lastly you got a Brand Spanking new F13 to boot from.

I use XDMCP on all of my boxes and

from 5 - 13 and it works.
Are you using GDM or KDM?
If GDM can you post your custom.conf file and if it is possible, a pic

Thanks,

I am using both gdm kdm.
There was a very hard to locate webpage that explained
how to enable and configure XDMCP for both, but I will try
to give you the run down, best as I can. I hope I have not
missed anything...
As for security, make sure that you read up online on how
to use X SSH tunnelling if later, you decide to expose your
X chooser to the Internet for remote access. Also, if you do
this, you have to expose port 177 on your firewall.
Keep in mind that you will get a chooser, a login screen
showing the same background image with the login
dialog with the list of users, exactly as it appears when
you log directly onto your console terminal.
When you use a vnc viewer, the remote access host
field is in the form: host or IP address:last-2 digit-port#
What this does is to choose the port number defining
the window properties as defined in vncserver shown
below, the color depth and the screen size. This allows
for flexibility for the particular terminal console you are
using remotely.
After you properly configured everything below, a reboot
is required. If there are any issues, be SURE that port 177
is actually accessible remotely and you can use nmap
to check it since it is a udp port. Also make sure that
vncserver services are actually listening via netstat.

Because it is true linux one gets to use all the same tools (like wpa_supplicant etc) for mediating the wifi connection. You can scp the configuration files to the router and keep current version under CVS on your fedora box. In short, it is very fedora-friendly. It did not look that way, but I'll 'stand corrected'. At least it is something that we can learn from.

As for security, make sure that you read up online on how
to use X SSH tunnelling if later, you decide to expose your
X chooser to the Internet for remote access. Also, if you do
this, you have to expose port 177 on your firewall.
Keep in mind that you will get a chooser, a login screen
showing the same background image with the login
dialog with the list of users, exactly as it appears when
you log directly onto your console terminal.
When you use a vnc viewer, the remote access host
field is in the form: host or IP address:last-2 digit-port#
What this does is to choose the port number defining
the window properties as defined in vncserver shown
below, the color depth and the screen size. This allows
for flexibility for the particular terminal console you are
using remotely.
After you properly configured everything below, a reboot
is required. If there are any issues, be SURE that port 177
is actually accessible remotely and you can use nmap
to check it since it is a udp port. Also make sure that
vncserver services are actually listening via netstat.

Problem comes as Michael explains, that when a process needs a large
physically contiguous chunk of memory, it might not be available.
That said, usually, requests for physically contiguous memory is only
needed when wanting to map very large number of DMA pages for
doing direct physical I/O.
Otherwise, a process itself does not need to have physically contiguous
pages. Only the virtual space allocated to that malloc or large buffer
declaration in a program, is contiguous.
Why would malloc or a large buffer declaration
require physically contiguous memory?
It is done in a driver on the process' behalf when doing direct physical
IO .
typically, such blocks of physically contiguous chunks memory are set
aside during boot.
I have also seen special embedded linux drivers that provide an ioctl
to let the process get a set of physically contiguous pages and map the
space
to user virtual space. This is for performance reasons to reduce copying
from user space to kernel space when large amounts of data need to be
moved.
This is not a new idea. it has been around for many years. I first
saw it in Linux back in 1998/1999.
Perhaps I misunderstood.
Do both of the following necessarily require physically contiguous memory?
char fred[69000];
char *greg=malloc(96000);
Would they sometimes require physically contiguous memory?
It depends on what you want to achieve.
If the target device you will write that buffer to can handle a
contiguous physical space of, say ... a few pages, then you
would want to ask the special driver of that device, via an ioctl,
to give you those pages, and map them to user virtual space -
i.e. you would not allocate them from the heap.
It makes sense that if a process insists on physically
contiguous memory and can't get it, the process would die,
but the above code does not tell the compiler what is to be achieved.
In the following, would fred or greg necessarily
refer to physically contiguous memory?
#include stdlib.h
extern void hank(char *);
int main(*args[], int argsNum)
{
char fred[69000];
char *greg=malloc(96000);
char *greg=malloc(96000);

I had installed F12 on both of them. The /boot (ext4) is 200 Mbytes on both computer. I decided to do preupgrade on both (F12 - F13). Since the /boot is only 200 Mbytes I followed the instructions published on Fedora wiki How to use PreUpgrade (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PreUpgrade). The preupgrade of the i686 went fine. It only did do the first step so when I rebooted the computer I only needed to configure the network as stated in the wiki. When I tried to preupgrade the x86_64 using same method as with the i686 the /boot got full and the preupgrade program crashed. I have goggled and not found this problem. Have other same problem with x86_64 or is there other way to do this without resizing /boot? PS The rest of the disk is LVM on both computers. I have found the easiest way to upgrade is get the latest Fedora-release and Fedora-release-notes from the F13 mirrors and rpm -Uvh both rpm's into F12 , then do a yum clean all and lastly yum upgrade from command line . It will replace all your F12 rpm's with F13 rpm's and then you Reboot your computer into a F13 kernel, and the LAST thing you have to do is rpm -qa | grep kernel that will display all the F12 kernels left behind, you do a yum remove any kernels left behind. If I use the command line and Copy and Paste those old F12 kernels at yum remove it makes it easier. And very lastly you got a Brand Spanking new F13 to boot from.

I changed too dhcp since there were fewer router configuration problems using it. I have only a couple machines on my LAN that I really need/want to have the same addresses every time... a print server and a computer I want to be accessible via dyndns.org (requires the same address every time so the port forwarding in the router points to the correct machine)... so I never really ran into that limit before in DD-WRT. And not to hijack this thread, but it wouldn't be that hard to setup a DHCP server on fedora instead, would it? (I don't want full setup instructions... it must have a wiki somewhere.) And that should handle MAC-reserved IPs, too, right? I would likely be happier with that, ultimately, since if I want to run a transparent proxy I could set the Gateway address to the proxy server, but DD-WRT's DHCP always sets the Gateway to its own LAN IP when it hands out addresses.

It appears you have two input devices.
One is the RS880 Audio Device.
One is the Bels? hangforr?? Analog Stereo device.
Please accept my apology for using ? for non-English characters.
I don't know how to enter non-English characters.
I'm not sure what the Monitor of ... entries are for.
I ignore them (can someone tell us what they are for?).
When you run paman (from rpm -q -i paman), it should show
Server Information as the first tab, Devices as the second tab,
Clients as the third tab, Modules as the fourth tab, and finally
Sample Cache
For Server Information, what is the Default Sink and what is the
Default Source.
I have, for Default Sink, alsa_output.pci-_00_10.1.analog-stereo
Default Source, alsa_input.pci-_00_10.1.analog-stereo
For devices, I have
Sinks
alsa_output.pci-_00_10.1.analog-stereo Internal Audio Analog Stereo
Sources
alsa_output.pci-_00_10.1.analog-stereo.monior
Monitor of Internal Audio Analog Stereo
alsa_input.pci-_00_10.1.analog-stereo Internal Audio Analog Stereo
This leads to my questions:
1) do you have alsa_input.xxx... for each microphone input source?
I would ignore the Monitor of ... entries.
2) On the Server Information tab, what is the default Source when
you do not have the USB sound card in, and what is the default Source
when you have the USB sound card.
I still suspect you have to select your default source and default sink.
I did another Internet search...don't know if it will help:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Allowing_Multiple_Programs_to_Play_Sound
Please search for Random Lack of Sound:
Random Lack of Sound
If you randomly have no sound on startup, it may be because your system
has multiple sound cards, and their order may sometimes change on
startup. If this is the case, then change this section of /etc/asound.conf:
ctl.dmixer {
type hw
card FOO
}
Replace FOO with the desired audio device, as reported in the
/proc/asound/cards file. An example of the file is shown below.
0 [U0x46d0x9a1]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x9a1
USB Device 0x46d:0x9a1 at usb-:00:12.2-2, high
speed
1 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
HDA ATI SB at 0xf9ff4000 irq 16
Device 0 is the microphone built into a webcam, while device 1 is the
integrated sound card. If you've copied the /etc/asound.conf from above
as is, alsa will attempt to initialize the microphone as an audio output
device, but will fail and you will have no sound. Rather than setting
FOO to the number, you set it to the name next to the number, like so:
ctl.dmixer {

Problem comes as Michael explains, that when a process needs a large
physically contiguous chunk of memory, it might not be available.
That said, usually, requests for physically contiguous memory is only
needed when wanting to map very large number of DMA pages for
doing direct physical I/O.
Otherwise, a process itself does not need to have physically contiguous
pages. Only the virtual space allocated to that malloc or large buffer
declaration in a program, is contiguous.
Why would malloc or a large buffer declaration
require physically contiguous memory?
It is done in a driver on the process' behalf when doing direct physical
IO .
typically, such blocks of physically contiguous chunks memory are set
aside during boot.
I have also seen special embedded linux drivers that provide an ioctl
to let the process get a set of physically contiguous pages and map the
space
to user virtual space. This is for performance reasons to reduce copying
from user space to kernel space when large amounts of data need to be
moved.
This is not a new idea. it has been around for many years. I first
saw it in Linux back in 1998/1999.
Perhaps I misunderstood.
Do both of the following necessarily require physically contiguous memory?
char fred[69000];
char *greg=malloc(96000);
Would they sometimes require physically contiguous memory?
It depends on what you want to achieve.
If the target device you will write that buffer to can handle a
contiguous physical space of, say ... a few pages, then you
would want to ask the special driver of that device, via an ioctl,
to give you those pages, and map them to user virtual space -
i.e. you would not allocate them from the heap.
It makes sense that if a process insists on physically
contiguous memory and can't get it, the process would die,
Not necessarily. It is not clear what you mean by insist.
For example, the process could be put to sleep until the
contiguous mem became available. But this is not achived via
malloc or the likes.
but the above code does not tell the compiler what is to be achieved.
And it cannot. It is not the compiler's job.
In the following, would fred or greg necessarily
refer to physically contiguous memory?
No! Not at all.
In older versions of unix, there used to be a facility
for the user to ask for phsycially contiguous mem.
That has disappeared from most versions of unix
and clones.
There are drivers that, upon bootup, acquire
from the kernel's internal interface, for X many contiguous
pages. The driver then manages this pool of pages.
The driver would export to the user process (header file) an ioctl
through which the user process could request a number
of pages, and they would then be mapped to user virtual
space so the user could write to those pages, and when
the write(2) call was made to write those pages, there
would be NO copy from user space to kernel space.
This was done in some embedded linux drivers for some
certain devices to achieve higher performance.
So, let's not beat this thing any further.
You might want to do your own googling.

If I remember my Kerningham-Ritchie correctly, the answer is yes, since
C relies on pointer arithmetic to refer to the elements of the array.
The fred and greg variables are pointers to the beginning of the
corresponding memory area, and referring fred[i] goes to the start of
the array at fred, and then goes i elements forward to end up with the
wanted element.
No.
User virtual space (say 128 Megabyte char array) would NOT
have a correspondingly contiguous Physical space of 128MB.
Each virtual page would correspond to a particular physical
page. But those corresponding physical pages are not contiguous
with each other.

Presently there's only an Apple Mac Pro something, my daughter's desktop there. If I'm really limited in the number of dhcp addresses I guess I will have to begin assigning fixed addresses to things like tv cameras and printers, laptops, iPods, etc. This family can't seem to function without a connection to our LAN. Getting some of those devices to work with dhcp was a chore [I rarely deal with Windows and the Apple stuff is strange to me too], fixed addresses will be more difficult. I believe the router on order also runs DD-WRT and I hope to replace this older Netgear WGR614 with it. I have often regretted the decision to install the modem there rather than up here in my room, it was simply an easier cable run using existing holes in the house. Now when I have router problems I have to string a fifty foot cat-5 cable through the place or keep running back and forth making adjustments. Tomorrow I will start assigning fixed addresses to the items that I can get to easily. Hopefully the new Ubiquiti router will allow more dhcp client addresses than this router I have been experimenting with.

It's just a warning... when you install/remove/upgrade something with rpm directly, then use yum again, it's letting you know that something was modified with rpm. Transactions done with rpm directly don't show up in 'yum history' as rpm doesn't update the yumdb with that info. So, it's likely not a problem, but it's probably best to get in the habit of using yum all the time. kevin signature.asc Description: PGP signature -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

That would explain it. Can this warning be reset/cleared? You could try reinstalling with yum. btw, as far as I recall the latest yum supports installing rpm packages over http or ftp. No reason to use rpm directly any more. :) (except for queries and troubleshooting ofc :-p) -- Suvayu Open source is the future.

Have you gotten this to work on a whitebox (no raid) one random nic??? Yes I have. Compared to an older desktop computer, yes you need a little more serious hardware. This is not a desktop hypervisor. Ideally, you want at least 1 good quad-core processor and 4GB of RAM. Two processors and 8GB will start to give you some real capacity. You also really want plenty of Gig-E NICs (starting with 4), unless you can afford 10G Ethernet - a couple of 10G NICs will hold you for a long time. It then tends to scale up from there, but more so in terms of how many virtual machines you can run as opposed to how fast they run. I have a server in my church with 4GB RAM, 2 Gig-E NICs, and a single Quad-Core CPU. I could realistically run 3 to 4 VMs of average size on it, but would need more RAM to do anything more than that. Ironically, on the lower end of the scale, it's possible, if you have VMware Workstation on a decently powered desktop, to run ESXi in a VM. Virtualizing Hypervisors is done more for training purposes than anything else. It's not fast, but it works well enough to give you a good idea of what a larger system would need.

Re: Compile kernel
Konstantin Svist kirjoitti perjantai, 20. elokuuta 2010 19:57:53: and, finally, i686 is the hardware architecture this package is meant for HTH Oh, propably asked wrongly. I know all that, what you explained. I ment, what for is that -devel source, if I can't compile it directly? By make menuconfic etc. When I started with linux 1996, from since I have compiled kernels that way. This moment I don't need any rpm from this kernel, because I know, that there's coming at least that bug correction soon. I'd like to test, if there's noticeable difference between pentium pro and pentium 4 optimizion. So why is this -devel for, if it's patched already, but you can't compile it?

Re: VMWare and Fedora 13
Really? Last I knew it would not even run unless it found particular raid adapters, or a fiber san connection. Must look into it again... On 08/20/2010 11:58 PM, Christopher A.
