I'm building the code on remote linux machines, and it takes very long time. Since all the filesystem is on NFS, I suspect the NFS is the bottleneck. Can I profile the build process (make all) down to system read/write calls? Or simply put, what tool do I need to find the bottleneck. Is strace gonna help?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have switched to openbox from Gnome and would now like to stop using Metacity altogether. When I was using metacity I had both a control theme (e.g. gtk theme) and fonts set up how I liked them in gnome-appearance-proporties. When Openbox starts, it gets my window borders up properly (ofc.) but fails to render my fonts properly and uses the wrong gtk theme. I can't find anywhere to specify which gtk theme to use or what method to render my text with. After Openbox is finished doing it's thing, and I run gnome-apperance-properties manually, it will automatically set everything to it's proper value, but I don't want to have to do this as it takes several seconds to preform and I'd rather not have it jury rigged like this.

Is there any way I can find out that the build has failed (of course looking at shell for error messages will do the job for me but I don't want that). Is there any flag make or shell will set/reset if such failure occurs ?

I am trying to recompile a large open source project with the Nvidia Cuda Compiler: 'nvcc' [URL].. nvcc supports all the compile flags that gcc does but not all of the linking options. This shouldn't be a problem however as nvcc generates object files that are compatible with gcc and I should hence be able to compile with nvcc and then link with gcc (linking against the CUDA library).
To compile with nvcc I use:
./configure CC=nvcc
Which successfully creates make files that se nvcc to compile. But the Configuration script does not seem to honor LD=gcc in the same way, ie: ./configure CC=nvcc LD=gcc still tries to link everything with nvcc which promptly fails because nvcc does not support the option '-soname' without which the project will not link correctly. What am I doing wrong? How can tell the config script to link with gcc?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a pci multi io card to give my pc 2 parallel ports. For Linux, Moschip supply the source plus makefile and instructions. I ran make as root and got an error message
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop/build/: No such file or directory. So I created a folder called build in /lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop but that isn't good enough as I still get an error cannot make target modules. So I assume there must be something in the build folder. So what packages do I have to install to get the correct environment to be able to build the driver? Has anyone done this and can supply the driver for 11.2?

Description of what the code does or what i intended to do:
1. Created a child process from parent process using 'fork()'
2. Sent a signal 'SIGALRM' from child process to parent process using 'sigqueue' function.
(The Third parameter of 'siqueue' function contains the message (message msg) which the child process wants to send to the parent process.'msg' is a stucture instance containing a) pid of child and b) string) 5. Print the 'msg' sent by child process inside the signal handler function 'sig_action_function' of the parent process I am getting some junk value when this line is executed
Code:
printf("%d
",msg->cpid);
I expected to get the pid of child process, which the child process sent to parent process through the signal.
im looking to boot a PC104+ from a linux floppy...
a) what version should i use that would fit and boot on a floppy?
b) is there any place i can still easily find that version?
c) what is the process (if any) to make the disk bootable (like msdos boot format)
d) can this boot floppy then be installed on a local drive?
i know that seems like a lot but they all kind of go hand in hand from my experience using DOS in such a way. im still out there searching but kudos to anyone who can help.
I am trying to make a file run at startup (e.g. runlevel 5). Here is what I done;
Copied file to /etc/init.d/rc5.d with these permissions:

Contents of this file is:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
# . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # uncomment/modify for your killproc
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting noip2."

And the file this is supposed to run is in /usr/local/bin/noip2 with the permissions as:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 80431 Mar 17 08:16 noip2
However, this didn't worked for me. What can I do?
Edit: I can run shell file by invoking it with terminal. So there is no problem with the file
I understand that in linux virtual memory would be the same as swap and I also understand that linux only uses swap when your computer has used all your pc memory. I hope both assumption are right.Can I make a process like firefox use ONLY virtual memory/swap? No access to RAM.

View 1 Replies View Relatedas we all know Process Scheduler does Process scheduling and its a process as well. I was just wondering that if this happens then the Process "Process Scheduler" should be a part of Process queue as well.
So if there are 5 process are there in Process queue & process scheduler is administrating them then since its also a process, once it puts a process under RUN state it should itself go inside queue because at one instant only one process can get executed on a processor. This is quite confusing for me. Please help me out. I tried to search on this but could not find any relevant topics.
