Ubuntu :: Utility To Stop Unnecessary Processes From Running?
Dec 19, 2010First time Ubuntu user (used to be on debian earlier).
I like that everything works out of the box (had to install codecs etc, but thats standard); but I dont like that there are 260 processes running. Is there a utility to stop unnecessary processes from running in Ubuntu 10.10? I used rcconf but there did not seem to be a whole lot of startup processes that were enabled. Yet somehow I am running 260 processes now.
Even if I log into fluxbox, I get 200+ processes running.

May 3, 2010I don't know about your computer but when mine is working properly no process is sucking 95%+ over time. I would like to have some failsafe that kills any processes behaving like that. This comes to mind because when I woke up this morning my laptop had been crunching all night long on a stray chromium child process.
This can probably be done as a cron job, but before I make it a full time job creating something like this I'd thought I should check here. :) I hate reinventing the wheel.

View 5 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Xorg Monopolizes Resources ?
Apr 20, 2010For some reason after the computer is on and idle for a little while, xorg starts using all available CPU resources. When I come back to use the computer, the screensaver will either be running nice and smooth, or the screen will be black. Either way, I won't be able to get back into X. I'll ctrl+alt+F1 into the console (or ssh if it's still not responsive) and "top" shows me xorg is hogging all the available CPU. I'll kill -3 <xorg> and it the computer will come back to the kdm login screen. What the %^&*??? It's a little irritating. I'm using Bouncing Cows and Seti@home when idle, but both do their job and close when they detect a key press. Even via ssh when I already tried waking up the computer with a key press, it shows the screensaver closed and seti is idle.
I have Debian/Lenny installed with all the latest updates and ATI's driver installed with direct rendering enabled (350fps for the cows, >2000fps for glxgears). it's a Dell Inspiron 8600, 1.8GHz, 2GB Ram, 80GB HD, ATI 9600pro/128MB.
Debian :: Python-pkg-resources Returns Error Code
Apr 9, 2010The system is Debian Squeeze/Sid with apt.conf set to Squeeze as the default. Most packages are from Squeeze.
I ran apt-get upgrade and it returned an error-code.
It might be it is this bug: Bug#574153: python-pkg-resources: Missing file leaves it unconfigured
I tried aptitude install -f, to hold it and to remove the package python-pkg-resources, but i am getting told the package would be in a very bad stage, and i should re-install it. That doesn't work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Laptop Brightness Gets Set To Maximum On Boot
Jun 10, 2010My laptop brightness gets set to maximium each boot.
Just wondering if this is the case for other laptop users. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad SL500 (GeForce 9300M GS) and am running Testing.
Ideally I'd like it to remember my last setting (which is usually the lowest). It'd be nice not having to turn it down each time I reboot/power-on.
It actually starts off at a low setting but during the boot process (before gdm and just after the "Waiting for /dev" line I believe) it suddenly gets set to max.
Debian Hardware :: CPU Frequency Always Maximum After Boot
Aug 1, 2014I have both cpufrequtils and acpi-whatevercpu, normally processor would be correctly controlled by the ondemand governor and have two steps for frequency, 1.4 and 3.5GHz. Now I've noticed my frequency is always at 3.5GHz, cpufreq-info gives me the hint:
Code: Select allguiu@guiu-desktop:~$ cpufreq-info --cpu 0
cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009
Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org.
[Code].....
This isn't really a big issue. Normally the processor will sit at +-28°C at low load levels at maximum frequency, with the proper governor it will drop to +-20°C (room temperature) and lower. So I still would like to get proper management of frequencies for more hardware life, and better energy efficiency, not to mention quieter fans. Documentations on cpufrequtils is very broad, and apart from that I don't know where to look for this. Debian wiki page mentions about a file that can be used to configure this but there isn't much documentation.
Ps: I previously had this issue where acpi-cpufreq driver wouldn't load at all, this is due to setting on bios resulting in different frequencies than stock, trying to get default frequencies allowed the driver to work.
Debian Hardware :: Can't Display Maximum Resolution
Jun 29, 2010I have a brand new computer with an ATI Radeon HD5850 video card I have a LCD monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1080. I installed Debian Testing 2.6.32-5-amd64
Because I have several machine, I use a KVM (switch keyboard) in the middle. This KVM is quite old but still work correctly only problem is that it don't forward the EDID information. Until now it wasn't a problem, and by specifying the correct parameters of the monitor in /etc/X11/xorg.conf , I always succeed to reach the 1920x1080 resolution
In installed the proprietary drivers from ATI Catalyst 10.6 (last version)
since I have 2 problems :
first in the console I used framebuffer in 1280x1024x32. Before installation of the ATI drivers, it was ok, now the screen is completely black !! on every tty (I didn't investigate much on this trouble yet)
Second problem:
I can't reach the native resolution of my monitor ! No matter what I'm doing, the best the driver propose is 1600x1200 !!
I made a lot of test and modification in xorg.conf but without success, it always goes back to this resolution and never propose something higher For information, if I connect the monitor directly to the video card (removing the KVM), everything is OK and the resolution is automatically set to 1920x1080
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0

Debian :: Can't Get Games To Play Right
Mar 2, 2010I'm running Debian on an old iMac G3 power pc. I've just loaded a couple of games for my daughter but the music is staticky and the cursor flickers and goes invisible. Is there anyway to increase virtual memory or something that will make these game work??I know the hardware is old but one of the few(only thing) things it did well with the old OSX system was play games, so I know its not the hardware.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDebian Configuration :: Partitioning The Four Individual Drives To Get Maximum Performance / Space From Them?
Jan 25, 2011I've got 4 identical 1 TB drives and would like to use them in a software RAID configuration on my home server. I'm running Debian Linux using 'mdadm' utility to manage the software RAID. I don't know how much I've read is fact or dated or even false so I decided I would ask here to get help from people who know more about this than I do. This is essentially just a file server machine to store all my data so being that I've got four identical SATA hard drives, I was thinking about doing RAID level 5. I guess I'll start here and ask if that is the recommended level of RAID. I think RAID level 5 will be fine for my general server usage. My second issue is partitioning the four individual drives to get maximum performance / space from them. Basically just asking here how would you or you recommend I partition the drives? I was thinking about doing three seperate partitions per drive:
/dev/sda1 = 4 GB (swap)/dev/sda2 = 1 GB (/boot)/dev/sda3 = 995 GB (/Now from that partition schema above, obviously all the types will be 'fd' for RAID and the partition for /boot is going to be bootable. My confusion is that I read Grub doesn't support booting from RAID 5 since Grub can't handle disk assembly. If /dev/sdx2 (sda2, sdb2, sdc2, sdd2) are partitioned for /boot (bootable), how would you guys configure this RAID to match up equally? I don't think I do a RAID level 1 on 4 identical partitions, right?

Debian :: No Sound In Games And Apps
Mar 8, 2010I installed Debian lenny amd64 a couple days ago and I have only got a few things figured out thus far. I got libdvdcss, and adobe flash along with some neat little games and apps. Well I had no sound at all because I couldn't get my audigy ls working with lenny so I'm useing my onboard sound (a realtek). I changed all my sound options to ALC 880 Analog now I have sound for movies and mp3's but not in games or on the web (ie ....., farmville).

Jun 2, 2010In recent versions of Ubuntu, it is possible to click on the top right corner to choose to shut, down, log out, etc as opposed to having buttons that need to be clicked on followed by other buttons. Ubuntu's current utility works by clicking on the top right corner which shows a list without opening a new mini-window or anything allowing me to select however it is that I want to change the state of my computer if it wasn't obvious as to what I am referring to.
View 4 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Change Settings For Games In Jessie
Jan 15, 2016I am currently running Jessie (Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie))
On occasion I like to play Tetravex, Sudoku, etc. I also like to play it at different levels of difficulty and complexity. It used to be very easy to change these levels, but now it appears to be impossible because Jessie offers me the possibility to close the game, move it to another workspace or minimize/maximize/resize/etc it.
But change the level of difficulty?
Nope, not a chance. That option, my dear fellow, is no longer available.
Why? Who decided to change the user interface to such an extent that simple and basic operations are no longer available? Did a MS or Mac mole infiltrate the Debian project team?
