Ubuntu :: Software To Make System Faster?
Mar 24, 2010After installing ubuntu 9.10. It's now been a month or so from a fresh reinstall.
Currently for some reason at times my computer slows down where typing starts to lag.
Is there any software that would speed up the linux os. Like for windows there is softwares that would check the registery for errors and shortcut errors etc and fix them.
I use free software like that for windows and works well. I just would like to know if I can get something like that for linux. I know linux dosen't use a regsiter but just saying software that checks the linux system for any errors that could cause the computer to slow down.
Software :: Why System Clock Runs Faster Than Hardware Time
Jan 23, 2011My server is a VPS which is running with CentOS. I found a wield problem that the system clock always runs faster than the hardware clock. For example, I set system clock and hardware clock both on 20:00. After about half an hour, the system clock will be 20:34/5 which is wrong while the hardware clock remains correct (20:30).

Jun 14, 2011How to make the system boot faster by removing the idle time between 5s to 10s? bootchart attached. It is Ubuntu10.04LTS by the way. One more hint, the screen black out for ~4s after "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom... Done." I don't know what is going on during that 4s, but my best guess is there is a way we can get rid of it.

May 18, 2010When booting Debian, you'll see it printing a lot of information about the system variables and such.
I don't really need to see all that, so I'd like to modify some scripts to make sure that on boot, it just does what it has to do, without printing it on the screen. Just something I fancy.
Offcourse, still seeing errors would be nice. But that long slur of text, I could do without.
I've tried looking it up, but I can't find documentation on this specific thing anywhere.

General :: Windows 7 - HP Laptop, Corrupted Graphics, Not Booting Win System Board?
Aug 3, 2010My friend has a HP Pavilion dv2699ea (dv2500 series - somehow *shrugs*) that has stopped working. It's a Core2Duo laptop with a Nvidia GPU. The unit is no longer under warranty. Problems first started a few days ago with the laptop showing corrupted graphics in Windows and BSOD'ing after a few minutes of use. I tried booting to an Ubuntu LiveCD which worked for a while before succuming and crashing as well. The freezing/graphics corruption/BSODing does seem somewhat heat related (CPU runs at ~95'c under load) however I believe that if it is heat related, then it's already damaged components inside.
Now the system has corrupted graphics on bootup[1], including booting Ubuntu[2], and neither operating systems will boot at all (Windows can sometimes get logged in before showing a black screen and becoming unresponsive. Ubuntu just looks like [3] after X starts). (See comment below for links.)
The fact the problem occurs both under Linux and Windows says to me this is not a driver issue. I have run Memtest which passed fine and none of this seems HDD related as I managed to get ~30GB of data off the system before it finally gave up the ghost.
She has been using it repeatedly without giving it adequate ventilation for years (i.e. on the bed, or on a pillow), so it's my opinion that the system board has probably warped over years of cooling/heating and that's causing this current problem. If that is the case, then I can buy a replacement system board and fit it myself, saving about £200 over the cost of an out-of-warranty HP repair. Of course, I don't want to make her spend £100 on a replacement part for it to be the wrong thing, hence asking for a second opinion here!
Hopefully I've covered all the bases here. I'm a former IT support guy myself, so I've tried all the dumb stuff (driver updates, examining memory dumps from BSODs [one 'unrecoverable hardware error', three relating to the graphics card], etc).
General :: Installing Ubuntu 10.10 On A Windows 7 System (Dual Booting) With Radeon X300/X550/X1?
Oct 29, 2010just like most Linux distributions, will happily co-exist on a hard disk with just about any version of Windows. This is a concept known as dual-booting. Essentially, when you power up your PC you will be presented with a menu which provides the option to boot either Ubuntu Linux or Windows. Obviously you can only run one operating system at a time, but it is worth noting that the files on the Windows partition of your disk drive will be available to you from Ubuntu Linux regardless of whether your windows partition was formatted using NTFS. To day I have installed Latest Windows 7 and Latest Ubuntu 10.10 on my office system (Dual booting). This two operating system which I installed in HP dx 7200 micro towers.

Jun 14, 2010I have an old laptop (PIII 800MHz, with 256 RAM) that I wish to use as my home server: it'll have to serve just two people, so I think that I'll be more than ok as for the RAM and the CPU.The issue is about data, because the internal hard disk is a 12GB, that is...ridicolous! I have more than 60GB of mixed storage and counting (images, videos and music) in an external usb hd. I could put the hd in my desktop pc just to serve the big files through ethernet or let it inside its usb box attached to the laptop.
The question is: which of these solutions will be the fastest? USB 1.0 attached to the server (laptop) or internal hard disk serving files via 10/100 ethernet to the laptop on demand?what about your experience? Is the difference based on a human notable scale?

Dec 3, 2010I often have to transfer huge data over our LAN from one computer to another. The size of the files varies and can be somewhere from 2 GB to 50GB or more! The only accepted connection protocol between machines are ssh; and rsync and scp are the only options available for copying over network (unison is not installed). I usually use rsync with "-z" option to copy over network. if "rsync -z" is faster than "scp" for data transfer?
View 5 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Why Is JFS Faster Than A Raw Device For 1.5TB Disk
Aug 19, 2010I have a 4 * 1.5TB RAID5 disk array (software linux RAID, formatted with jfs) on my Fedora 12 system and want to expand it by adding another 1.5TB disk. I have added a drive to the system and conducted a simple performance check on it to make sure it was functioning properly:
Code:
# dd if=/tmp/bigfile.dat of=/dev/sdg1
5478774+1 records in
5478774+1 records out
2805132609 bytes (2.8 GB) copied, 168.77 s, 16.6 MB/s
But 16.6 MB/s is lousy. I ran an iostat -dmx 2 on this drive at the time of this lousy performance, and typical output was:
Code:
Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rMB/s wMB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await svctm %util
sda 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00

(note that sda and sdb are a linux raid mirror set for the / filesystem that holds /tmp). I formatted the new drive (/dev/sdg1) with jfs and mounted it under /mnt2:
Code:
# jfs_mkfs /dev/sdg1
jfs_mkfs version 1.1.13, 17-Jul-2008
Warning! All data on device /dev/sdg1 will be lost!
Continue? (Y/N) y

I would like to know what the performance will be like before I add the disk to the array because I don't want to wait for the whole array to be rebuilt before finding out my array is performing badly. The array is used as part of a mythtv system and has up to 6 simultaneous recordings running on it, so it needs to perform well.

While it works great, each command takes about 10 seconds, so I am thinking about ways to make it faster.So can grep use some sort of index?
