My cpu is set via Gnome-power manager to automatically speedstep under demand....
the thing is i have a few nice level 19 processes running most the time that eat up all the idle time, this forces my clock speed up and as such makes the fan noisy and uses more power...
basically what i would like to do is to ignore process load with a nice over a certian level when determining weather to speed step.
I've been searching for the answer to my question for quite some time on google, no luck. Due to my searchings I've become very familiar with nice and renice.
I have a script I use for launching a game installed with wine. I cannot/wont run this game as root but I need to be able to use nice --7. As of now I can't I -- ofc -- get "permission denied"..
So how do I make the full range of niceness ( [-19;20] IIRC ) available for all users on my system -- or even just for 1 user?
What is the default nice value for processes?The setpriority() function sets the nice value of a process, all processes in a process group, or all processes for a specified user to the specified value. If the process is multi-threaded, the nice value affects all threads in the process. The default nice value is 0; lower nice values cause more favorable scheduling.
So some flash games don't seem to play nice with Ubuntu. Some do. I have no problem playing Cursed Treasure, but when I try to play, say, Learn To Fly, the opening page loads, but then when I click the "play" link, it does nothing.
Each day I need to copy N files from a source location to a mirror at a specific time (where N is very large). Let's say I tell multiple CPUs to each run an rsync simultaneously on a subset of the files (network and disk bandwidth are not an issue). Ideally each CPU would be responsible for a disjoint subset of the N files, but in practice this is sometimes hard to guarantee. (Some of the source files might be "claimed" by more than one CPU.) As a result, sometimes rsync I and rsync J will both try to copy file F at the same time.
Using rsync -avz --delete --temp-dir=/tmp remote:/path/to/source/ /path/to/dest/, let's say rsyncs I and J both see this situation to start:
[Code]...
Now rsync J finishes copying but generates an error when it tries to move its version of FileB to /path/to/dest/ because there's already another FileB there that it didn't see when it started.
Does one of rsync's many options somehow handle this situation? Ideally I'd like an option that tells rsync, "Believe in yourself. You can do no wrong. Feel free to overwrite anything your little heart desires." so that it wouldn't complain about the FileB that has suddenly appeared mid-execution
In principle my java installation works perfect now I tried to increase priority with nice. So I put special user rights to nice: chmod u+s /usr/bin/nice
And then tried: nice -n -20 java something but this gives me the error that libjli.so is missing.
I've just installed Slackware 13.1 in two different laptops for first time. I have some strange internet browsing behaviour in one of the laptops. I've installed 2 internet browsers(firefox,opera) using the directions from Slackbuilds.org and there is also konqueror pre-installed. Moreover I installed Wicd network manager.
I can browse some pages e.g. ..... with firefox very slowly but NEVER facebook. I can browse almost any page, even facebook, with OPERA but very very slowly. The same goes with konqueror... Wicd shows that i am always connected with my WPA wireless network
Code: # ps 22355 pts/3 00:00:00 bash # # ps -l 22355 F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD 0 S 519 22355 22354 0 75 0 - 1338 wait4 pts/3 0:00 -bash # # ps -o pid,priority,command 22355 PID PRI COMMAND 22355 15 -bash #
Why are the priority values of the process different? What is the difference? Is the value 15 the "nice" priority? Then, what is the value 75? Please, explain the difference of each result.
I couldn't really decide where this should be posted, but this is the most general of the forums. Anyway, I've been playing a wargame on intruded.net in which some of the challenges require me to pass hexvalues into the programs as character values. All is well with this, and usually I would use the shell to pass it in, but most of these programs use the gets() method to get my input.
Here comes the problem... The other day I was using my desktop which runs slackware 64 13.1 to do these challenges. My method was to use "echo -e 'xefxbexadxde'" to print them to the shell's standard output and then highlight and copy the resulting values to paste to the program. This works just fine on slackware, but when I repeated the same processes on Ubuntu 64 10.04 (which runs on my laptop) the 'xde' always turns up to be 'x00'. Then I tried some other levels with similar responses, not all the hex values convert to the correct ASCII characters.
Is there any way i can pass two / three values to grep. Basically i want to list the lines in the file with three different values. Currently I'm using three grep to get my work done.
I need to set ulimit values according to I used Code: ulimit -c unlimited ulimit -s unlimited ulimit -u unlimited But after I log again to my session values are set to default. Now can I set this values so they don't change after log out of after reboot?
This is a Fix message - it is a type of protocol for transmitting financial dataeach number followed by a = sign is a tag - each tag means something. some tage are moe important than other.
In my file there are 2 fields separated by space.Sample content of file are as follows:56060 154242 053030 0Now i want to check second field of the file and if all values in second field are 0(zero) and send mail containing all contents of the file
I have been asked to write a program to extract the width and height values from .gif, .jpg and .png files. For .gif I was able to find the values in the header records, but it is not so straight forward for the other two formats.
Does anyone know if there is a Linux utility that will do this for me?
I want to read values from a file...these are basically one word values, that is to say that the text file I want to read from contains lines of word length 1, as in:
I downloaded, configured and installed ImageMagic-6.7 without too much trouble.
I'm trying to install the perl module Image::Magick, and using MCPAN just errors out big time.
I read in the docs for installing ImageMagic, that I need to edit the Makefile.PL in the PerlMagick directory before I can do a make / make install.
I'm supposed to change the LIBS and INC, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to change them to? Do I just add to what's there? Where do I find the values to add/change to?
I'm doing some bash-scripting and want to be able to print some text (just plain text) files into the new bash-scripts, created within a loop. Here's a short example of what I do:
Code: # main bash script # #!/bin/bash ##Filename variable1=10 for ((j=0;j<=40;j+=1)) do ## Create another bash-script echo "#!/bin/bash" >> bash_script_$j ... some stuff... cat file1.txt >> bash_script_$j ... some more stuff... done where the text file (file1.txt) I want to print in the the new bash script looks something like:
Code: # file1.txt # ...some stuff... logsave log some_program($variable1) mv output_$j folder_$j/ ... some more stuff...
I.e, the text file contains variables such as "$j", "$variable1" etc that are undefined. Doing the above works for creating new bash scripts (bash_script_1 - bash_script_40) but the variables are not determined. I would like, if possible, to somehow print the text in file1.txt into the new bash-scripts with the variables determined, i.e:
Code: # bash_script_1 # ...some stuff... logsave log some_program(10) mv output_1 folder_1/ ... some more stuff...
The text files I read are quite extensive so I would really prefer not having to paste them into the FOR-loop directly.
I have a lot of files with thousands of rows and usually two columns of data. Column 1 is a coordinate, column 2 is a score. I want to delete rows that have a value in column 2 over, in this case, 50.
Specifically, I'd love to know what the valid values of:
And, where I can find this information? I've always wondered if it was documented somewhere, or if there was an interface into the kernel to query for it.
I would like to grep all values other than encrypted password from /etc/shadow fileFor example,each line consists of 8 fields separated with :/The only thing that I want not to print out is the contents between first : and second : (encrypted password)
Ubuntu 64bit. The sound system works and plays noises correctly when I test the speakers in sound preferances. The internet BBCi player(Radio) plays sound correctly. Banshee & Rhythmbox try to play music files at double, or more, speed with no sound output. Spotify Linux version also tries to playback at double speed with no sound output. Media Player attempts to play music files at high speed. Media player plays the Video and audio tracks at high speed. VLC Will play the video at normal speed but with no audio.
