General :: Windows 7 - Why Is 64 Bit Not Recomended For Daily Usage
Aug 12, 2010
I am just in the process of setting up a new laptop which came with Windows 7 64 bit installed. I am going to set it up to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu. When I went to get the Ubuntu download I noticed that the 64 bit version is labelled with
Not recomended for daily desktop usageNot recomended for daily desktop usage
Why would this be? Why is 64 bit Ubuntu not recommended for daily desktop usage?
I have a 64-bit computer and needed to download 10.04 again and now notice the following:64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage.This worries me so I would like to ask a couple of questions here if I may.
QUESTION ONE What version, on a 64-bit machine, should I download for use every day and all day?
QUESTION TWO If the answer to Question One is, "use the 32-bit version", and I have 8GB of memory, I can only use 3.4GB with 32-bit so would the other memory be available to use if I downloaded vbox and used a second operating system?
I was trying to get the status of memory usage and disk usage using sigar in windows and ubuntu. done this in windows by just copying the sigar library into jdk library. But i was unable to do so in ubuntu. I've copied the library to java-6-sun library but still can't run the program.
I'm in the Ubuntu.com page to download 10.04 and I have a choice of downloading 32 or 64 bit version, I do have 64 bit computer. At the 64 bit choice is says "64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage". Is this really true any why is that??
I am running on a laptop and cron.daily is set to run at 0625 So I wonder what happens if my machine is not turned on at that time.. At that rate it could also be off for the other periods as well (weekly, monthly) Is there solution that will allow them to run once they are online after the appointed time? using a cron entry that runs every 15 or 5 or 1 minute.
Is there any way to monitor one process' CPU usage and RAM usage over time on Linux? I am trying to change to a cheaper VPS and need to work out what level of CPU and RAM I need!
I am working on Ubuntu 8.04.3 OS, with this I am getting a problem, Daily my server is down on same time at 4:00 PM. I seems server is down by "kswapd0" process, I am not sure, As I run top command, I got below out put
I have two custom tasks running daily. How do you give priority to one over the other?One of them is configured via the logrotate.conf. The other sits directly in cron.daily.I'd like the one in cron.daily to run after the script that is in logrotate.Please can you advise how to do this...
I'm trying to back up my database daily at 2:30am. is this the right format? 30 2 * * * mysqldump -u root -pPassword database > backup_$(date +%y%m%d).sql
I'm running into a problem where my system is running out of disk space on the root partition, but I can't figure out where the runaway usage is. I've had a stable system for a couple of years now, and it just ran out of space. I cleaned some files up to get the system workable again, but can't find the big usage area, and I'm getting conflicting results.For example, when I do a df it says I'm using 44GB out of 58 GB:
Code: [root@Zion ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
I am sure that all of us know the result of top command in linux. i want to get the value that the top command return as CPU usage, memory usage. so how do i do(programming relation)?
I've come across a really strange issue with one of my RHEL servers. The "free" command shows that 7019 MB of memory are actually in use by my system, but when summing up the actual usage (or even virtual usage like the example below) it doesn't add up - the sum is far less than what is reported by "free":
So I'm getting a new laptop soon, and it ships with Windows 7 64-bit. So I assume I have to use 10.04 64-bit. I noticed that the download page says "not recommended for daily use". I was wondering why this is, and if there were any things I need to look out for when using Ubuntu and 64-bit. I read the older FAQ thread in the closed 64-bit forum, but I wanted to make sure I got more recent information.
I am currently writing a JAVA script to monitor certain unix processes through JConsole. Upon having lots of trouble with runtime.exec, i decided to bypass the top/ps command call and just get the information straight from /proc/*pid*/whatever.Now i can pull back any information from any of the files I want, and the current way i determine the CPU usage of a process is as follows:Add the UTime and STime of that process from /proc/pid/stat then divide my pidCpu by UTime + STime + NTime from /proc/stat, then multiply that by 100, should give me the % cpu usage a process is using, right?Theory being if I get the jiffies assigned to my process, I can divide that by the total jiffies the cpu assigns.
However, my results seem to vary from the ones gathered from top and ps. What am I doing wrong?
I wonder to know the command or the procedure to get the overall CPU utilisation in linux. I have used top, iostat, mpstat but the outputs are not the way i needed. Is it possible to get the output like...
I am running Slackware 13.0. I am aware of free -m, vmstat, top, etc. However, none of these programs display how much ram each program is using. Is there a program that displays how much ram each program is using? I run a headless so I'd need a program that runs in CLI.
I know that top command shows %MEM (only two programs were using 0.1%MEM) but after running free -m I only have a total of 400 MB ram left out of my 1.5 GB of ram. Where is all that lost ram?
my linux bos red hat Ent 5.0 is reporting CPU usage 100% for the service/agent cimserver.basically is slows down my system and I have to kill it so my system is OK again.my question is Can I set the CPU usage for this service? I mean can I set it to use only 4% or 10% of my CPU? or any other way to troubleshoot this 100% CPU usage. Since I've uninstalled and reinstall the agent and same issue.is it possible to set the CPU Usage?
I have an issue, it doesn't happen every day, I can't seem to trace it down. It happens at 4:02am the cron.daily kicks of at 4AM.. The following is from the /var/log/messages. I receive an panic error then the server shuts down.
I am a bit worried about my linux vserver box. No more memory is left. To investigate this issue, i was looking at "top". But it deeply confuses me. It seems that no more memory is left, altough the process list in top never adds up to 100%
I'm writing a shell script which aims to create a safe gtared (xxx.sql.gz) copy of MySQL databases.This script is planned to be Cron-Jobed.
Well, what I need to add to this shell, is something that limit CPU usage for the whole process (just in case if the database being generating is a huge one.)So, after few time of googling I found couple of solutions:
- Using cpulimit. I tried to place the code in Position(1) and Position(2) but it didn't seem to be working fine.. Any idea about the right use?
And the other Solution is:- Using nice.
Well, assuming I named my shell script (sqlbacker)..
Finally, this is my first time I ever write a shell, so correct me if somewhere I made a mistake :-) (The script itself works perfectly)
I think To get the full value from your ram on windows you need to have a 64bit install version installed, can someone tell me if its the same with linux or Unix. I have 9gb of ram on my PC & wanted to know if I it matters if I use a 32bit Distro or if I need a 64bit on my 64bit PC to utilize all the ram.
