I tried Fedora 11 Live CD and if finds and I am able to connect to my wireless network imediately. But now when I have installed Fedora to the hard drive, I can see the wireless network, but when I press connect, it starts connecting, both dots become green but then it just says "Disconnected, the wireless network has been disconnected"

I am using BSNL WLL (Wireless Local Loop) on my Fedora system to connect to the internet My modem is Huawei ETS-1201, I use wvdial The problem is that, on every linux distribution I tried, Webpages dont load or load incompletely randomly This happens most during peak net traffic. I tried to edit the /etc/ppp/options file to set my MTU and MRU to 576
But, It does not seem to be working. There is no such problem on Windows and I can connect flawlessly I takes several retries to connect to a site.

View 5 Replies View RelatedRAM for older machines like I use is fairly cheap these days. But flash memory is just as cheap or cheaper. So I'd like to ask about the feasibility of expanding my system's memory using flash memory. And about whether creating a partition for swap on the flash memory, or whether a swap file on the flash device, is the better way to go.
By flash memory I have in mind mainly USB sticks or what are sometimes called "pen drives." But I do also have CF and SD cards that, with the proper cheap adapter (one of which I already own for adapting CF) could be used to create extra swap space. So, what is the current consensus on the feasibility/advisability of using flash memory for swap? I've read about the limited write cycles of flash being an argument against using it for swap. But recent reading indicates to me that the limited write cycles problem applies mostly to older, smaller-capacity flash memory. Some will come out and say that, for larger-capacity flash memory, the life of the device is likely to exceed the amount of time your current computer will be useful (I think I've seen estimates in the range of 3-4 years life--minimum--for newer, higher-capacity flash memory).
A more persuasive argument I've heard against using flash memory for swap is that access times for these devices can be much slower than SATA, and maybe even IDE, hard drives. That would certainly dictate against using flash memory for swap.
So, how about some input on this issue? Anyone using flash memory for swap? If so, what kind (e.g., usb stick or SD/CF)? Are you using a swap file or a swap partition? How's system performance? Likewise, has anyone had flash-memory-used-as-swap die on them? The consequences would undoubtedly be dire. Also, has anyone measured flash memory access times to confirm or refute claims about slow access times? Are some types of flash memory better/worse than others in terms of access times?
I know it's possible, but does anyone have a URL or tutorial on how to do this?

I've an 8GB swap (I know, overkill, but I don't have space issues, and I'd rather have too much instead of too less). The problem is that my physical memory fills up, and the system crashes, but swap usage is ALWAYS 0%
Mem: 8060580k total, 5193436k used, 2867144k free, 1013788k buffers
Swap: 8388604k total, 0k used, 8388604k free, 2262112k cached
Setting aside the fact that I can't trace why memory usage goes up to 8GB with just firefox/terminals/pidgin, why isn't my swap EVER used?
Also, if I run
Code:
# top

(The rest are all "0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0")
If add up all of the RES columns, I get <1GB. If I add all the VIRT column, I get about 3GB. Where's the other 2GB being used? This goes up all the way to 8GB, without being able to add up where my memory's going.
i had to install oracle in my laptop...it required a certain amount of swap space which i didnt have... i tried to create it using the datadump command... dd if=/dev/zero of=/extraswapf bs=1M count=512 i then rebooted and made the swapfile using: mkswap /extraswap i then made the entry in /etc/fstab as follows "/extraswap swap swap default 0 0" and i used the command : swapon /extraswap the swap space was visible after that... but after rebooting the swap space is not visibille
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the swap partition configured normally in fstab but it doesn't automount when I boot up. Not only that but I can't manually mount it either (ie with 'swapon -a', 'swapon -L /dev/sda7' etc). When I try I get this error -

View 2 Replies View Relatedwhy the operating system is not using swap.I am using Fedora Core 13, it did have 4GB of ram, all of the ram was used. performance was poor. I used free and top to check if it was swapping - according to both, swap was NOT used at all. Never the less, I upgraded to 8GB and performance improved a lot.However, once again, free and top state that ALL the ram is utilised, yet NONE of the swap is utilised.

The Fukushima HP has been officially retired. In it's place there now labours a Toshiba R830-8300. And therein lies a host of problems. The Fuku-HP ran an AMD Turion 64 dual core. The R830 runs an i5-2520M The Fuku-HP ran an Nvidia GeForce 7350m. The R830 runs runs an [8086:126] ??? Dunno what is. But that's what Hardware Lister gives me on the VGA controller) I don't want (for several reasons outlined below) to have to re-install F15.Regardless of all arguments to the contrary, Gnome 3 is a time-consuming PITA to get tweaked into any resemblance of useability Neither the F14 nor the F15 liveCDs will boot to GUI on this laptop to allow a new installation. Not exactly sure what's up with that. I've got a ton of tweaks and data on/in the existing install that I do not wish to lose.
I know for a fact that both Linux and Compiz (acceleration) work peachy keen fine on this box. The second partition has been given over to MINT-11, and works swimmingly!
I have also been able to get to GUI in the F15 install this morning, by the expedience of the following:editing the GRUB kernel line to remove references to nouveau, Nvidia and any mode setting, and booting into Runlevel 3 as root. drilling into X11, and killing xorg.conf, and xorg.conf.d. logging out, back in as myself, and then running startx.
The rub lies in the fact that Gnome-shell fails to load, and drops me back to fallback mode.
So, my goal is to tweak the existing install to run normally on this Toshiba i5. And I'm afraid that's gonna take bigger brains than I have readily available on a Sunday morning after not-enough sleep. (Or any other day of the week with enough sleep.)
I am therefore, at the mercy of the more learned than I.
