Fedora :: Proliant G4 Becomes Non-responsive @ 100% Wait?
Jul 1, 2011
I've installed both Fedora 15 x64 and Fedora 14 x64 on an HP Proliant DL380 G4 with the HP SmartArray SCSI controller, 2x146GB UW320 SCSI drives.The server was running RH v4 with a hardware RAID 1 with uptime of 400+ days with no issues.I broke the HW RAID and made 2x volumes and software RAID. I have another identical server with 4x 146GB UW320 SCSI drives with Fedora 12 x64 and SW RAID, so I figured 14/15 should be the same process.What happens is the server runs great for a while, but when I leave it for a few hours, it becomes non-responsive. I've re-installed 15 and 14 multiple times now and also installed NRPE, which shows load increasing to the point to where the server is non-responsive. It hits high load levels (as reported by NRPE). The load levels appear to be increasing over time. Such as last night:
log off at midnight, load average 0/0/0
2:03 am - WARNING - load average: 9.91, 8.85, 6.75
3:03 am - WARNING - load average: 16.91, 15.86, 14.47

Have an HP Proliant DL360 server on which I plan install Fedora 12.
I need to download the NIC driver from HP's site - but it asks which operating system - and Fedora is not on the list. However, many variants of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are on the list.
What is a good choice for OS that would match up with Fedora?

By way of background: I've been using Linux since kernel 0.97.something_or_the_other, but I've been using one of the other distros. This is my first crack at Redhat/Fedora.
I'm trying to install Fedora 10 on an old Compaq Proliant 3000, dual P-II 450, Compaq Smartarray 3200, plenty of drive space, 3C905 based NIC, original Compaq CD drive.
The install will boot from the CD just fine, I get the initial graphic menu to select whether to do an install, upgrade, etc.
I select option 1 to install and I get what looks like an ncurses based screen that asks me to select a language, another screen that asks for a keyboard, then a screen that asks me if I want to install from CD/DVD, NFS, local drive, etc.
If I select the CD install option, the next screen complains that it can't find a drive and asks me to either select a driver from a list of drivers or to insert a driver disk. Doesn't matter what driver I select, it always snaps immediately back to the screen that says it can't find the hardware to match the driver. Every time it does this, it's not spinning the CD to read the driver that I've selected.
IF I go for an NFS install, after it asks me the network parms I wind up at that same driver screen with the same results, no matter what I pick it throws me back to the can't find hardware/pick a driver screen. As far as I can tell, the NIC is never actually trying to wake up.
I know the hardware is functional because if I boot from from CD with my usual distro it identifies and starts all the hardware just fine, CD, NIC, RAID, etc.
I can see where it might work to have the necessary driver module for the CD on a floppy, but where do I get the module? I tried mounting the .iso images for the install set on another machine but I don't see anything obvious that looks like modules that I can cabbage onto.

I recently purchased HP Proliant Microserver with the idea of having it as a home server running Amahi. I added one 2TB hard disk to the already installed 250 GB drive. The Microserver has no cd/dvd drive so I created a bootable pen drive using LiveUSB Creator tool from Fedora 14 installation DVD iso image. However, I ran into problems in the very first phase though I struggled hard, juggling i386, x64, Live images...
Now, for i386 Fedora: The machine successfully boots from the pen drive but after selecting language and keyboard, the installer does not see the installation image - or even the pen drive at all - saying "No driver found". Then, I can only open "Select Device Driver to Load" (screenshot) where I can only see whole bunch of drivers I have no idea which of to select. I tried "USB mass storage driver for Linux", nothing happened, I'm returned back to "No driver found". Haven't found the "HP NC107i PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter" driver in the list...
x64 Fedora: Same result, though x64 at least recognizes the HDDs that are already in the box (screenshot) so I can try to use image files unpacked on the second one (ext4 formatted). Then, the installation proceeds till the point of formatting the installation drive when it suddenly "Cannot find ISO 9660 image" (screenshot) and I cannot but Exit.
Live x64 image: I tried the Live bootable image from the same pen drive - it booted and installed correctly and at the first glance the system was working fine, connecting to the internet, downloading updates etc. However, this is not my option because I didn't have the option to add additional Repository during the installation from Live image (as it is in this guide, search the page for "Add the Amahi repository"). why the installation is not working in my setup?

I have a start and stop script registered with chkconfig for a fuse mounted drive. I can /sbin/service scriptname start
and
/sbin/service scriptname stop
with no issues.
The stop script unmounts the drives and then stops the service with a function to wait until the pidof service is gone. My drives are showing up as dirty on reboot, which should mean that my script that functions normally in cli, is running out of time and possible being ignored by service after a certain wait period when shutdown -h now is issued. System is a remote server so I can not view the output during shutdown. How can I increase the wait before /sbin/service issues a [FAILED] if that is the case on shutdown? The startup script runs, however the shutdown script does not...the script does work though with the service scriptname stop command.

I'm wondering if I could put my old DualCore PCIe Board into a Proliant 3000? Why not; I mean, the Array Controller should plug right into the PCI slot on the DualCore board. Of course, I'll have to shoehorn a second power supply into the case for the newer Board, but wouldn't it be a monster! Two 3GHZ Processors, with a 256 MB nVidia graphics card, 1.5 GB of RAM, and 8 Hard Drives! (7, actually, because one of them doesn't work). I'm up late, and I think I'll start working on it right now.

I am Very new to Ubuntu and the forums, So i wish to apologize if this is posted in wrong section. Now on to my problem, While using my computer the screen will go gray(all open windows), and my HDD light stays on. I never had this problem before on my other computer that has Ubuntu on it too. And as i said every window goes gray and the HDD light stays on and it happens randomly. It will come back to normal some times but others i have to Force Power down.

I am a GNOME user but because of the release of GNOME 3 i decided that i may have to start using KDE. So i installed KDE 4.6 from the qt-kde debian repository. It works more or less OK but i have a problem with the performance. It just doesn't feel as snappy as GNOME. For example if i have minimized Firefox when i maximize it it takes about a second for the window to draw and until then i just see and empty window. Or when i open nautilus it too takes a little to open and draw the window. Overall KDE seems a little unresponsive. Is this normal? And second, from time to time there seems to be huge performance issues - KDE suddenly becomes very slow - programs take a while to open, and the windows draw even slowlier than what i described previously. Also whenever there is a slowdown (like for example when i start a program) i hear some kind of scratching noises from a my laptop - like there is a heavy hard disk activity. I've heard that kind of noises before when doing something very demanding like compiling or archiving something.
Is there any way to make KDE more responsive and faster. I have disabled strigi and nepomuk.
I am running KDE on Debian Unstable with kernel 2.6.39-1-amd64 and NVidia driver 270.41.19 on a Thinkpad T61 laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo T9300, Nvidia Quadro NVS 140m and 4GB of Ram.

Firefox, pidgin, thunderbird, intelliJ, even emacs!!!, or perhaps it's gnome in general will periodically stop responding. All named except emacs tend to gray out while this freeze is happening.

I'm a total Linux noob, but I've needed a working development server for a while so I've put together an old celeron box running Ubuntu Server 10.10.The box runs fine, as does the Apache and MySQL servers, even if they did take a little while to fine tune!The problem I have is that vsftpd doesn't respond unless I'm logged on locally or via putty. As long as a local user is logged in, it's fine. If I try to connect when noone is logged in, then the connection times out waiting for the server message, and thereafter I have to login and stop / restart the vsftpd to make it work again.I'm not sure if the vsftpd is set to run on boot or on login and I have no idea how to check. Vsftpd is set to allow only local users, of which there is only one - so I can't check if it would work with any user logged in

I have recently did a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04, before that i had 10.04. In the new installation i have a problem with the mouse that did not exist before: some of the radio buttons and some links in web pages are not responsive. further more, while writing this post, the mouse does not change its icon to text icon when i hoover over the post's text. it happens also in web pages when it does not change to hyper-link icon over some links. it seems that there is a certain area in the canter of the screen where it happens.

I just reinstalled Ubuntu at least twice for this problem: Minidlna starts fine for a few minutes, I can see it on the network with my television, windows and even my phone. However, after a few minutes (say one hour), it stops being there. The process keeps running, and is kinda responsive to rescans and restarts. However it becomes unusable after a few minutes. The last reinstall was pretty basic: Installed Ubuntu 9.04, upgraded to 10.04 (servers), installed minidlna, wait and... bam! So there were no conflicts in all that, so what could make minidlna stop being responsive?

I need to figure out if mythfrontend is non responsive. If the frontend was closed by accident, this code restarts it for me as a cron job.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Env;
$ENV{DISPLAY}=':0';
my $result = `ps aux | grep front`;
[code]....
If I run the above code it works (mythfrontend restarts) however, there are times when the frontend becomes non-responsive and I'd like to detect a non-responsive state but I don't know how. Additionally, I don't have a keyboard on the mythfrontend, just the remote control.

I installed slackware 13.1 lately to a laptop. its a toshiba satellite m40 185 if it makes any difference. In any case, and while the touchpad works flawlessly, connecting a standard USB mouse to the pc does not power up the mouse (its a microsoft notebook optical mouse) and of course the mouse pointer does not follow the mouse's moves... no clicks either.
Basically when I do
Quote:
I don't see junk printed on my terminal, whereas moving around the touchpad I do see some.
Just to clarify, It's not just X that is not working, gpm doesn't get mouse moves from the usb mouse either (touchscreen works flawlessly in console too).
my xorg.conf looks like:
Quote:
I added the last 2 options after following this guide, which seems to cover concurrent read-in from more than 1 pointing devices.
All the other guides I found assume that you have a working gpm.
One question is: since with the new radeon drivers the xorg.conf file can be missing altogether and X will not cry, does it make any difference to add mouse options in xorg.conf?
Continuing my thought: it must be something else. Kernel doesn't seem to be the problem. The USB subsystem works since usb mass storage devices (that's all I have sitting around) are sensed by the kernel and udev properly. Additionally, the problem persists with the huge kernel.
Before slackware, I used to run fedora on the laptop and both pointing devices worked properly, however I think fedora uses another method of setting up the X server devices..

So I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 beta 2 two days back. Upon trying to use the system, these were the problems I had:
1. Mouse is absolutely not responsive. Even the cursor is not showing.
2. When I login through keyboard options only once this message flashed "Unity not supported by your hardware switch to classic mode on your next login". It flashed once, took me to the desktop screen where the classic desktop was available and I could not access anything without keyboard shortcuts.
3. When I tried launching firefox, deluge or even tried using the terminal to connect to the net I am unable to connect.
4. My USB devices are not read.
5. I finally tried to do a clean install of 10.10 using the live cd I already have but the OS is not booting from the cd.
As a result I am stuck with a comp which has no mouse, no internet, no usb support, no cd support. Do you guys have any idea how I get it to work again?

I have a strange and very frustrating problem with my Ubuntu Server 9.10 install on an old (2003/2004) eMachines m6807 laptop.It goes into some sort of standby state in which it stops responding to ping/ssh, stops serving web interfaces, etc. It wakes instantly on the press of a keyboard button - I had another computer ping it repeatedly and watched them time out, and they start responding instantly after a key press.Rather oddly, the system clock is wrong after coming out of the standby state - it hasn't advanced since going into standby.
A probably irrelevant detail: it also blanks the screen. I haven't checked whether the blanking of the screen coincides with going non-responsive: I could, if this is relevant. -- I just noticed it in a non-responsive state with the screen not blanked, so I guess they're not coincident events.This happens very soon after booting or waking it - maybe 10 minutes or so? I haven't timed it precisely.It's also a relatively clean install of Ubuntu Server - a month old, with few packages installed and no custom editing of configuration files.If you anyone can help me shed some light on what's going on and how I might fix it

The Machine
Core 2 Duo E4600
2GB DDR2 RAM (1 stick)
Intel ICH10R based motherboard (tried an ICH9R aswell)
4-port SATA controller (PCI Sil 3114)
O/S: Ubuntu Desktop x64 10.04 LTS (using 'desktop' because I like having a remote desktop)
The Storage Setup Disks: Assorted selection of 9 disk. 750GB, 1000GB and 1500GB Seagate and Western Digital disks. The disks are joined through a standard LVM2 configuration. I don't know the LVM term, but normally you'd call it a JBOD setup. On that LVM device, I've put a cryptsetup device, made with the LUKS tools (aes-xts-plain 256) On the cryptsetup device, I've created and mounted an EXT4 partition.
All in all, a completely standard LVM2 and LUKS setup, running EXT4. After a reboot, I proceed to unlock my cryptsetup encryption device, and then mount the EXT4 partition. All is well, the mount is accessible and everything looks fine. I then try to send a file to the mount, via Samba. After a few hundred MB written, the I/O wait goes berserk. It stays at 50% (dual core setup remember). The system becomes unresponsive to network commands (can't browse samba) for about 5-10 minutes. When it finally responds, the I/O wait is gone and everything is now fine. I can write and read hundreds of GB's of data without any issues at all. I can benchmark and stress all disks perfectly fine and no logs are showing disk errors.
I tried monitoring my disks with 'iostat -d 2' while the I/O wait was happening, and there is some slight Blk_read/s activity on 1 disk at a time. First for example /dev/sda is showing a little Blk_read/s acitivty, then it jumps to the next disk, and when every disk has show that slight Blk_read/s activity (500-800 or so) the problem is gone and the I/O wait is no more. I've tried changing motherboards, switching disks around on the controllers, checking individual disks, replacing disks and I've tried different versions of Ubuntu. The problem however persists. I could see it being a network issue, possibly a driver issue. But since the NIC is a standard RTL8111 on-board it seems unlike that the problem wouldn't be more widespread since this NIC is litterally being used everywhere. I did change my motherboard, so a faulty NIC seems unlikely twice in a row.

I applied all updates to my Kubuntu 10.04 installation, and shutdown and went to bed. Booted up this morning and found:
[code]...
This error is returned if the module load command is used before loading a Multiboot kernel. It only makes sense in this case anyway, as GRUB has no idea how to communicate the presence of location of such modules to a non-Multiboot-aware kernel. lets re-install GRUB. So I booted up my live CD, and ran:
sudo GRUB
find /boot/grub/stage1
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit
sudo shutdown -r now
Same error. So I started looking around, and most complaints of this particular error seem to be dual boot environments, which I found rather odd, as I have never dual booted this machine.....
