After a recent update to Slack64 current, GL xscreensavers cause KDE to crash every single time they are run. The crash actually happens as the screensaver exits (ie it runs fine until a mouse or keyboard event, then crashes).
Here's the relevant Xorg output: Code: (EE) intel(0): [DRI2] DRI2SwapComplete: bad drawable
I'm only relatively new to ubuntu and am having a problem with firefox. There was an update waiting for me this morning to install some dummy package and since I've done that firefox falls down whenever I try to go to a page that requires flash. The screen turns grey and nothing happens.
With my limited knowledge (and inability to use any page that requires flash) I've tried to remove and re-install flash but nothing I do seems to work
So this just started a few days ago... maybe 7 at the most.
I am working along, and screen goes black, or just freezes... the lights on my laptop start blinking and becomes everything becomes unresponsive.
I have noticed it is usually when I am Using Firefox and Flash content. I have also noticed it happens when using Deluge, but it usually takes 5 minutes to kick in.
I am using firefox at the moment, but I am sure if I load up a ..... video, it will lock up on me again.
I've just installed F15 over the weekend, and since then I've been having stability issues - primarily it seems to be related to gnome 3 (I've used fedora since its early days, and have never had such stability issues in the prior versions). Basically, when I use gnome-tweak-tool to make a modification, the system crashes; and I have to completely shut off the unit (unplug it) for it to even boot up properly. Today, I tried to change one of the options from its default, and now the very top (black bar) won't show.
I'm in the "File Manager" mode and can see the "Computer", "home" and "Trash" icons. I can move them about; and click on any of them to open. But once they're open nothing else works (clicking on any of the directories, etc, has no effect). I can ctl-alt-F2; but that's the extent. I deleted the .gconf and .gconfd directories (suggested in a different thread on a similar issue), but that didn't change anything. How do I bring back the default gnome 3 bar at the top?
I rebuilt my user account from scratch (that was the fastest approach for me). Nevertheless, gnome-tweak-tool does crash (for example, each time I turn on "File Manager"). This is clearly a bug. I'm using nvidia GTX 480; the problem might somehow be related to the card/driver. I definitely spoke too early I logged out of my account; logged back in, and the top bar is gone again and I'm left with having to deal with this again.
Whenever I'm browsing the web on one of my natty machines, I'm subject to periodic reboots that leave nothing in the syslog. Here's the two constants I've discovered thus far.
It only happens when I'm using a browser (plugin?). It doesn't matter whether I'm in Chromium or Firefox. It doesn't matter whether I use Unity or Gnome 2. This happens every 2-3 days from what I can tell. This problem is not power related because I've tested it with and without an UPS present.
The computer does a full reboot without any shutdown procedure.
The configuration of this computer is as follows: Intel i3 2100 ECS H67 Dual Nic Haupaugge Dual ATSC Tuner MDADM RAID 10 8GB 1333MHz (MemTested)
The browser plugins are as follows: Flash 10.3r181 VLC Multimedia Plugin (compatible Totem 2.32.0) Windows Media Player Plug-in 10 (compatible; Totem) DivX Web Player version 1.4.0.233 QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6
I'm using centos 5, kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5I have occasional server network problems (the NIC driver will basically crash/restart causing no connectivity for a period of time) due to the marvell sky2 NIC driver being a problem, as discussed here: This essentially means the server is unreliable when under any kind of reasonable load, to put it mildly.Worse still, the driver problem has not been resolved in 2.6.18.x - but it seems to have been resolved in the latest Linux kernels.I really don't want to compile the kernel from source, etc, but it looks like I may have no choice.Is there a repo which has a pre-compiled 2.6.20+ or 2.6.30+ kernel which I can use,
I'm still pretty new to the linux scene but kubuntu has been a great alternative to ubuntu (unity, ugh) until now.
It only started happening since i started messing around with play on linux but i dont think their related. I dont think its a driver issue either as ive switched between proprietary and default to no avail.
Basically after i log in, it takes over 3-6 minutes getting slower and slower before finally getting back to regular speed. So after a few occurences i decided that immediately after startup i went to system monitor and sure enough;
There is a process title "akonadi_contact" that is slowly growing in memory. There are also multiple occurences of it (usually between 6 and 9). they keep growing usually to the 500000k mark in memory usage before turning gray (swap storage??) and then eventualy the end.
What is "akonadi_contact" How do i stop this from happening. Is this a memory leak?
my server and it had a load of 60 so i immediately took down apache and the load went back down to 0 in a few mins and every time i put it back on the cpu usage on both cores immediately goes to 100% and the load goes up to 20 in just 60 seconds until i take apache down again?
I am running a CentOS 5.6 32 bit installation under VMWare ESXi and have been experiencing some very high load values from time to time. The server is running multiple installations of gameservers, and the load fluctuates from around 1 to 9, with more or less the same amount of players playing (give or take 5-10 of a possible 80). I've been running DStat with almost all possible metrics, and, except for the large fluctuations in load, nothing else out of the ordinary seems to happen when load is rising. (Log data can be provided, if anyone wants to see it). Disk IO, Network throughput, memory consumption, CPU usage, process count, all stay at the same levels when the load is 1 as when it is 9. How I can begin to troubleshoot this, and find out why the load goes to such high values?
Whenever someone copies a data Our system get very slow. Load average of system starts increasing. How would i find which process is causing the same. I have tried following top 10 CPU utilizing process command but it didn't help much.
Code:
ps -auxf | sort -nr -k 3 | head -10
My distribution detail.
Code:
# lsb_release -a LSB Version: :core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch Distributor ID: EnterpriseEnterpriseServer
I just did the pacman -Syu command today since i have had limited access to internet i could use with arch lately, (been tethering via droid which is only compatible in ubuntu) The command line works fine, i even reinstalled X to see if that was the problem,whenever i do startx it loads up for a second but before my xfce screen even pops up the screen blinks and blackens.
My server crashed last week and I'm trying to diagnose why. /var/log/messages contains the following error messages, which indicate that the server's memory peaked. I would like to discover what process caused the memory peak. Being that "httpd invoked oom-killer", can I conclude that httpd was the cause of the memory peak?
How do I get rid of this message during boot. I have tried the system-config-kdump command but it gives me a "no command found" reply. I am using CentOS 5.4
I'm using centos 5.4 on an Hp Compaq 500B, 4GB ram,I have just installed centos when i try to boot the pc it says "memory for crash kernel not in permissible range, pci not using mmconfig" then it shuts down after a while.
I've installed LINUX for the very first time and when i rebooted it, i found this message on my screen "Memory for crashkernel notwithin permissible range" I tried all my attempt like given memory to kernel with this command "crashkernel=64M@16M" but no luck... Finally i tried to boot into single user mode might be it helped me..but same results
After CentOS5.3 install to /sdb7 partition (on 2nd HD) and using Ubuntu Grub(on 1st HD mbr) to boot CentOS, I get "memory for crash kernel 0x0 to 0x0 not within permissible range" as soon as CentOS starts. I have 2G of ram. The message is on every boot. I've had several other linuxes on that partition without such an error message. Otherwise the OS starts fine. Is the message of concern/import?
it says this at start of boot:memory for crash kernell (00x00 'or something like that') not within permisiable rangeotherwise no problems for now, ewerything runs fine.
I've just noticed that "nicing" long running computationally intensive, I/O unintensive, single-threaded executables on my system increases the CPU run time of those executables (as reported by /usr/bin/time as well as by wall clock) by a factor of 2-3 even in the absence of any load, i.e., "top" tells me that my program is getting 100% of a CPU. For example:
%coot 248: /usr/bin/time -p ./a.out > out real 97.47 user 85.64
[code]....
My system is running Ubuntu 7.10. If I run the same executable on two other machines I have access to -- one running Fedora 5 and the other Ubuntu 9.10 -- I don't see any discrepancy between the runtimes using nice and not using nice.
This behavior is executable independent, compiler dependent, and language dependent -- I'm seeing it across the board. I'm assuming I've somehow configured my system to behave this way, but I have no idea what I may have done. Also, this was the first time I'd ever done timing runs with "nice" (actually, "at"), so I'm not sure how long my system's been configured (if configured is the right word) this way.
I installed CentOS 5.4.. I saw this message: Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range Is it ok? I google around it said that it is a known issue and harmless. I installed CentOS 5.2 before. It was ok. Kernel is 2.6.18 too. Just wonder why Kernel version: Linux phot1-nec4 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 03:28:30 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Basically I have a machine with 16GB of RAM and have just discovered that using all of it can crash the whole system over one process. How could I run a process on the system in such a way that if more than 90% of system memory is used, the process immediately crashes?
Anyone familiar with QEMU? I'm attempting to load F15 for testing purposes along with REL 6. This is what happens, all goes well until it is actually starts downloading files to the virtual disk which appears to work until it gets to about 1/2 way completed, then it hard crashes(actually shuts the machine down). Also I had to turn of ACPI because when it is enabled it just hangs the VM altogether. I'm wondering if I should also turn off APIC?
Is there some way of loading a VM in verbose mode or debug mode to see what is happening and maybe causing this hard crash. The log files for QEMU shows nothing other then the normal loading of the virtual machine, its given name, source ISO and things of that nature.
What can I do to correct the failure of the mount command to load the mem stick. In nautilus it reports that I do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "Kingston". In user settings there is only one user: Robin. The user privileges are showing as all ticked except for send and receive faxes, and use tape drives.
In the group for Robin there is only one member: Robin. Group id is 1000. There are a lot of groups available on the system. They all show Robin as unticked as a group member. To what groups should I make Robin be a member, without compromising security? Using Ubuntu 11.04
I'd rather not switch back to SM 1.1.18 as 2.0 is so much better. I've had this same crash on at least one other page too (not on centos.org this time).
I am running matlab 2010b on centOS5.6. Matlab opened without any error either in the computer terminal or in VNCSERVER. While running bench (of matlab) the session or the vncserver are crashing.In some cases the bench run for the first time without any problems, however it will crash the session or the vncserver on the 2-3 runs of the same code.

Last week my server crashed. I'm trying to diagnose the cause.
This is the relevant error message in /var/log/messages:
Code:
I'm assuming that I can conclude, then, that apache/httpd was the cause of the memory leak?
Next, I've been tracking my memory usage. Using top, this is an average memory load level for my server:
Code:
I'd like to confirm if my understanding of this data is correct, because Plesk indicates that my memory usage is only 50% or less. (Though I have read a number of reports indicating that Plesk's measurements are frequently wrong.)
Top says: Of the 2,073,156K total memory, 1,982,572K (95.63%) is being used, 90,584K (4.37%) is free. Of that sum, 421,948K (20.35%) are being used as buffers. Additionally, of the 2,096,472K of Swap, 60K is used, and 887,700K (42.34%) is cached.
My questions: Is my memory actually being 95% used? Or is the buffered quantity (20.35%) not a use of physical/virtual memory? (i.e. is it disk usage?) Does the amount of cached Swap influence the percentage of physical/virtual memory being used?
In other words, who is correct? Plesk says I'm using 40-50% of my memory, whereas top says 85-95%.
