this computer (Yakumo model 331, 386 MB RAM) began running really slowly, crashing when multitasking, etc., but only in Ubuntu Karmic Koala. Kubuntu Karmic has no problem, nor does OpenSUSE. I finally figured out the problem when looking at system monitor: 0 bytes of swap! I have a 640 MB swap partition, which the other OS's are able to access, but Ubuntu no longer does unless I open a terminal and type in
Code:
sudo swapon /dev/sda6
If I do this, everything works fine until next time I boot up. Is there any way to fix this?
Let's analyse this While registering a Char deriver to kernel think that we had allocated memory using any of malloc/kmalloc/vmalloc.
If we forgot to Free that allocated memory while unregistering, will that memory be allocated aside or kernel clears it...?
clarrify the below points:1) Where does the Kmalloc/Vmalloc/get_free_pages/malloc Allocates memory in which space is it Kernel/User?2) Coming to Hardware Point of View is where Kernel/User Space Memory Allocates is it in RAM or any.?3) In Device Drivers, how Open Call get to know whether the hardware is connected/not?

Code:
typedef struct child_req_to_parent

So far I have this:

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

I am getting a weird compilation error with malloc.h/usr/include/malloc.h:86: error: expected ')' before '__size'This is what the code looks like inside malloc.hextern void *(*__morecore) __MALLOC_PMT ((ptrdiff_t __size))When I did some googling, it was stating that ptrdiff_t was not defined; but, it is.#define __malloc_ptrdiff_t ptrdiff_t
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm afraid I have a huge issue with my newest Fedora 14 server. I recently migrated to Fedora 14 from Centos 5, which was very stable, but had ancient packages and libraries and my users were revolting...The machine is a HP ProLiant 360 G7, with 12G RAM and 6 SAS drives in RAID 5.After I migrated to Fedora 14, I noticed that for some reason, during the course of about 24 hours, all usable RAM "disappears" and applications are forced down to swap space. Needless to say I didn't have this issue on CentOS.
The server does heavy IO as per it's function (it's a heavily loaded file processing server and user simulation computing station among other things, which causes lots of random IO), so I thought it may be the cache, but then I realized it cannot be - because obviously Linux will use onyl "unused" RAM for caching and frees it up as soon as an app need it. Then, I thought to check the "slabtop" to see what's going on in Kernel memory. Unfortunately I don't have the screenshot from the time just before the latest crash, but there's a certain value displayed by slabtop, which slowly, byte-from-byte creeps over all available RAM, eventually forcing applications down to the swap. This is malloc-64, and as you can see from the bellow copy-paste, it's building up again even now...
Code:
Active / Total Objects (% used) : 9118075 / 9153600 (99.6%)
Active / Total Slabs (% used) : 152157 / 152157 (100.0%)
[code]...
I am developing a code where I need to store the planes of an object in a tree & also i need to store it in a list for further processing ... when I try to allocate using malloc the memory allocation when i checked this in internet , I came to know that it may because the memory that I am trying to allocate may be more than the size_t variable.

I tried the following methods: LD_PRELOAD -> fails for malloc, because dlsym seems to depend on malloc -Wl,--wrap,malloc -> doesn't work for 'new' gcc hooks -> doesn't work always, e.g. for uclibc there are no hooks Are there any other methods I could try?

This procedure works well in Windows, but in Linux where I use wvdial, I dont get prompted for this unlock code. Does anyone know how to insert the unlock code in Linux using any Linux tool (GAMMU/GNOKII/Minicom etc)?

I am working on a friend's computer for which he "lost" the operating system. This friend has very little extra money right now, so my classmate suggested I try loading Linux on my friend's PC.I am wondering if it will work. The PC is a Compaq Presario SR5610F with an AMD processor. I have been told that Linux doesn't care much for AMD.Does anybody know if it will be possible to use Linux as an OS on this PC?I'm looking for a cheap(er) alternative than Windows. Friend is balking at Windows 7. The machine had Vista loaded in it when purchased, then the son loaded XP on it, without removing Vista. They have been having issues with crashing for some time now. The recovery disks are supposed to have XP on them, but I don't think that is so, and when I tried running those disks, the computer balked. I finally worked around and got XP to install, using a disk from an old computer, but the code would not work, and nobody could remember the computer's password and user name.I want to start fresh with this machine, and install a basic, working OS. Am leary about XP on eBay or some such, but they really don't have the funds to purchase anything over $100.00.
