Ever since I turned on my notebook yesterday (Compaq Evo N610c) my processor has been working 100% all the time. I checked processes via System Monitor, and no process is doing such thing.
What can I Do?
Here's a copy/paste from top command
Code:
[juan@x22 ~]$ top
top - 11:02:39 up 37 min, 2 users, load average: 2.77, 2.21, 1.48
Tasks: 142 total, 3 running, 139 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
i have installed ubuntu in my laptop.since i have AMD processor fedora doesnt support AMD processor..the recent version fedora 12 supprots AMD processor.i am doing my final project in ns2 hence it should support tht too!!! Which is the best choice to override ubuntu grub fedora 12 or redhat linux.
I'm working on this Intel Celeron HP33w Pavillion with 512mb ram and a 180 gb hard drive. Installed xp on it, partitioned half the drive and left the other half blank. xp installed no prob, then installed ubuntu on the second partition letting ubuntu create the partition and swap space (which was 3 gigs) and it installed fine (aside from being incredibly slow to go through the actual install process). Once finally booted into ubuntu with no other programs running aside from the standard ones that start with ubuntu, i added the system monitor to the panel and expanded all the other monitors. Memory was normal, cup average was 100% and cpu usage was 100%. Figured something went wrong with the install so I reinstalled and got the same result. Window xp runs just as fast as it should with 512mb of ram so I'm sort of at a loss as to why ubuntu is eating up all my memory with no programs running.
I have some questions.First, how can i obtain a process execution time ( after it terminated)??? Second, in a multi-core system like SMP how can i run different processes on different cores explicitly? i.e. how can i assign a process to a specific core?
I'll often run iceweasel for watching videos via flash (hulu, ....., et cetera) while working, in fedora I never noticed any performance problems, watching the video while using chrome for browsing, gedit for editing, et cetera, everything was responsive. Though, now on debian running iceweasel for the same purpose hogs memory and processor time, which slows down the responsiveness of the system as a whole, making it difficult to use other programs.I'm curious how I should go about troubleshooting this issue, and what diagnostics might help me find the solution.
Does anyone know if there is a way to "unset" processor affinity? So if you bind a process to just one proc, but then want to tell the OS to revert to normal behavior? Also, when you bind a process to a processor, can other processes use that process or does it have exclusive usage of that proc?
My configuration is as Follows: Intel Pentium Dual core 2.6 Ghz 4 GB DDR2 Apacar 800 Mhz RAM Gigabyte ATI Radeon 5450 HD GPU
I'm using Fedora 14 KDE but on startup it uses 40% of my processor. I'm using the proprietary 10.12 AMD ATI Linux Driver. I'm only using blur and woobly windows effect and I'm using OpenGL. Kubuntu/Suse never gave me this trouble. Even GNOME doesn't only KDE and fedora 14 is troubling me.
How do I get arch/processor type at a particular root? On Solaris, I can get it by running "pkgparam -R "$alt_root" SUNWcsu" (SUNWcsr) Wonder if something similar for Linux exists? I know that 'uname -p' works for the current system, but I am looking to find arch for a system mounted at some root.
I installed Fedora 12 at school on my external hard drive, using Windows Virtual PC 2007 to run Fedora at school on a dell PC with XP 2000, which works at school!However at home, i am using Windows 2007 os, I install Windows Virtual PC 2007, wasn't successful in running Fedora 12.As soon as Fedora begin to boot, an error message appeared which said,"An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered.The virtual machine will reset now".below the message it gives you only option to reset the virtual machine, however this is a vicious cycle
I am running Ferdora 12 (constantine) 64 with Intel Xeon 3.2GHz processor + 12GB Ram. I am running this machine specifically for number chunching applications but it isnt running as fast as i thought it would! Are there any tips to optimizing the speed of processors in fedora?
I wanted to try Fedora 12 Live/KDE on a newly-bought Fujitsu Esprimo P1500. Booting with no kernel options would just freeze the machine. After some random experimentation, I added the option "nolapic" and got a seemingly working machine. However, only seemingly, as it turned out that only one of the processor cores was working (the processor is a "Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5300").
When booting Fedora 11, my system hangs for a very long time on starting udev. Sometimes I get an I/O error. However, my hardware is fine. I do eventually get in to the system.
I've got fedora 11 set up to use network time protocol to sync my laptop's date & time when I'm on-line. The question is simple really, I've added a local universality's time server (what is public) and it's live. but it's added to the end of the default time servers what come with fedora. How do I get fedora to just use the local time server, is it a case of removing the default time servers for fedora, but there is a box what says advanced options which are. sync system clock before starting service ???? & use Local time source (( is that the same as the local ntp server that I've got set up ))Hope some body can help me with the network time protocol part of Date/Time settings.
I am attempting to install a custom fedora build but it crashed, I then attempted the standard fedora build (.iso) burned on a CD and I got to the boot window but at some point following the colored lines going across the bottom of the screen it froze. symptom - monitor still on not hibernating, num key works caps lock doesn't , hard drive is spinning and so is CD drive. Has anyone had issue loading this build onto similar hardware?
My older motherboard is a MSI K7D Master which had two AMD Athlon 1800 MP's installed. My new motherboard is a HDAMA Rev G which has two AMD Opteron Socket 940 CPUs 2.4Ghz installed. When both chips are installed, Fedora will freeze when putting the system under load (i.e when transferring data). This has now happened to both the motherboards, once I remove the second CPU the system will run perfectly.
I think it may be a kernal problem as this also happens on other linux distributions. I have posted here for several reasons, a) to allow any other person searching for a fix a solution (all be it not a good solution), b) to request help on fixing this issue or request to who and where I should report this bug, c) to see if any other users are having the same issues. I should add that I once had the MSI mobo used in conjuntion with Windows Home Server which never had a problem when both chips were installed.
I have a concern regarding my clock in fedora 12. It always changes time even when I do not change it.
In fedora 10, I to go to CLI > time config > uncheck UTC, But now, it doesn't seem to work. Code: [jun@localhost ~]$ time config Command not found. real0m2.875s code...
I got the error: "An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered. The virtual machine will reset now." I have edited the options in installation screen with adding noreplace-paravirt at the end of boot parameters. but still have this error and FC installation does not continue.
I have really never thought of this question before up until i was asked by my friend what does it mean for a processor to be 64 bit as opposed to 32 bit? how is it better? sadly for me i wasn't able to answer it. i did a little of googling (i must admit i didn't have much time) and wasn't able to find an answer. What does it mean for a processor to be n-bit, where n = {4, 8, 16, 32, 64}. Aside from knowing that I can operate on larger data values on a 64 bit processor rather than on a 32 bit one, I know nothing more.
Is it possible to convert/recompile an already compiled x86 binary into an ARM binary?I'm using a BeagleBoard with a command-line Ubuntu (Maverick) and want to run a Ventrilo server but the x86 executable they supply cannot be run on the hardware as far as I can tell (most likely due to differing architecture).Unfortunately I don't have access to the source to allow me to recompile it natively.
JIt was easy to check in Windows, but I just wanted to know if there's a way to check if Ubuntu is utilizing both cores of my processor (Pentium Core 2 Duo).
I'm very new to this , just got a acer revo 3600 with Linux but there seems to be nothing much on it apart from Internet , don't understand computers at all but am looking for word processor etc. been told to get ubuntu don't know how to or what it is also a bit stuck with the terminology.
i got a beagleboard which has an ARM processor. rather the compiling my programs from the beagleboard itself, i'd like to use my beefy AMD64 desktop to plow through compilation.how to do a cross compile, or at least set gcc up so that i can do a cross compile. i'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with gcc 4.4.3 when i run: gcc -b arm to tell gcc to compile for arm, it says: gcc: error trying to exec 'arm-gcc-4.4.3': execvp: No such file or directory
I am going to order the parts and build a new PC soon. One goal I have on my new machine will be to use Windows as little as possible and use Linux. In Linux I will need to use an emulator/virtual machine of some sort for things like playing World of Warcraft or City of Heroes and running Photoshop. (No, Gimp is not just as good for my needs). I plan to have 4Gb, to start, of ram and my question comes to one of processor selection. I assume that running a Windows app in Linux would be one of the most system taxing things I could do. Would I be better served by more processor cores or a higher clock speed for these tasks? I will undoubtedly have an AMD proc. I have been considering the following.
Athlon II X3 440 3.0 Ghz. Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition 2.8 Ghz Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition 3.2 Ghz Athlon II X4 630 2.8 Ghz AMD Phenom II X2 545 3.0 Ghz
I am leaning towards the X3 440 (or 435) for the sake of cost so that I can squeeze a discreet video card into my budget but that it outside the scope of my question. Extra info just in case The Black Editions are very over-clockable with unlocked CPU multipliers. The Phenom II CPUs have 6Mb of L3 cache and the Phenom II CPUs do not. The question boils down to how well Linux and Wine are multi-threaded to make use of all available cores and what impact, if any, L3 cache has in a Linux environment.
