I have changed the boot priority and I can here the cd drive spinning but nothing happens. Also I tried the second option on the installer (install it inside of windows) but I got an error saying I don't have permission.I've also gotten an error saying it cant find the disk but the disk shows up and I can open up/start installation. And I am the admin on the computer. Heres some computers specsWindows xp service pack 31gb of ramIntel Pentium processor 2.4ghz

It happens with new start, I mean, if I restart my computer after resetting First boot device to hard disk, then priority does not change. Just as I switch on computer, a black screen appears with the message:
CMOS - checksum error - defaults loaded
press F1 to continue, DEL to enter setup
Recently it used to happen, that PC was not reading my hard disk containing GRUB. I have 2 hard disks. I switched the power cables of two hard disks. After that, both hard disks were shown by BIOS but the above mentioned error started appearing. Also grub takes too much time to load. It takes almost 20 seconds. Earlier I was using 'Puppy Linux'. In that, Grub was loading in fraction of second.
I installed(actually i hope i did) CentOS 5.5.However i can see my HDD in Hard drive menu in bios but HDD doesn't shows in boot menu.

The internet link over the satellite modem is only 1mbit so the usage often reaches 100% when someone is downloading/uploading something. I am seeing my ping return time jump from 700ms to 6000ms if someone tries to upload a file (by sending a attachment in a email etc). The satellite operator is saying this is normal, but I have my doubts.
Has ICMP got a lower priority? Should I really be seeing this behaviour? I understand that if it was a TCP packet then it would just be queued until the previous acknowledgement has been received. And if it was a UDP packet then it would have been dropped, but how does ICMP deal with these situations during heavy traffic?
In my network my proxy / firewall (iptables + squid) works as dns forwarder. I needed to configure an url at my /etc/hosts in my linux boxes which are behind the firewall into the lan. I want my machine to look at its local /etc/hosts file before querying the dns to the firewall.
Despite I configured my /etc/host.conf this way:
My machine keeps resolving the name through the dns forwarder (firewall) and not from the /etc/hosts file first.
Is there any action needed after configuring /etc/host.conf? Any service to restart?
Why is wireless taking priority from the wired connection? I should not have to disable wireless just to have the wired connection connect.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got two network card interfaces on my computer, one wireless and one wired. The wireless card is connected to the Internet and the wired is connected to the LAN. When only the wireless card is active, Internet works. As soon as i enable the second wired card, Internet stops working. And it seems like Ubuntu chooses the wired card for Internet as soon as it's enabled.
Are there any ways to solve this? So my Ubuntu box always chooses the wireless card for Internet traffic and let me use the wired device for LAN only?
I need to ftp all of my Linux server files & folders through FTP Pro . But I can just login as /home/www user and I cannot login as super user that is suitable for my case (as I want to see all of the files) . how can I raise the priority of ftp such that FTP Pro can login to my Linux server as root user ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running on 11.2 and i have added some repositories, like Packman, KDE 4.4 Factory, KDE 4.4 Community.I would like to have this packages automatically updated which seems not to happen. If I look into software management every now and then, I always have to "switch system packages" to get the updates via the the updated applet.So I was wondering, if it could be due to a wrong priority for those repositories? Is a high or a low priority the point where the applet is looking from which repo to update? If not, what is this priority used for?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble with binding priority to certain program. I know how to use nice to start a program, how to use renice to change the priority of a running program, but how can I bind a priority to certain executable so that it always start at selected priority?
I can write a script to probe the process and renice it, but this doesn't seem to be efficient.
Code:
# ps
22355 pts/3 00:00:00 bash
#
# ps -l 22355
F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD
0 S 519 22355 22354 0 75 0 - 1338 wait4 pts/3 0:00 -bash
#
# ps -o pid,priority,command 22355
PID PRI COMMAND
22355 15 -bash
#
Why are the priority values of the process different? What is the difference? Is the value 15 the "nice" priority? Then, what is the value 75? Please, explain the difference of each result.

Say below is my group install configuration,
For example . what do I require if I wish to have webalizer installed first --> tux second -->> httpd next , customizing group install -package install order like setting customizing the priority,
Is this something that can be achieved by editing/adding in comps.xml or is it something thats set in rpm's when they are build
I am trying to change the priority of child using nice() but still it runs first.
Code:

If there are e.g. multiple repositories with the same prio, which contain different versions of an RPM. What happens if an install is made and a particular package has a dependency, where no version is specified? Would all repositories of the same pri be searched and the newest RPM version be installed. OR Would simply once the RPM is found in one of those pri's simply be taken and no further searching made. So summarized when all repositories are the same priority, is the first found RPM taken or the RPM with the latest version?

It's just enough to get skype running but it only works well enough if I change the nice level to -5 or lower. Now the person that uses skype in the house is really the wife, I don't want to teach her how to open htop in command line, fine the pid and then use the correct command to change the nice.What I am looking for is a script (sorry I don't know thing one about programming/scripting) that will change the nice priority periodically for all pid that are skype. This way call processes will get reniced as well. I know better then to run it as root/sudo, but I am at a loss (even searches came up with not much) on how to do this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an HP GL380 with an MSA20 connected for storage space, we use it as an nas unit. The system is SLES 10. We use both NFS and SMB for file sharing, no special users and so. We are 8-10 users of the machine. We store both large and small files such at thumbnails and disk images.
Now, my problem. I�d like to give more priority for reading files on the server, so a user can look at pictures without problem, and if another user is writing an image file of an disk (10-1000 GB) this writing process should get less priority. The most important is always reading files, to get the job done.
As mentioned in "man swapon" priority value is between 0 and 32767. BUT usually if we add swap devices without giving the priority, their priorities are set as -2, -3, -4 and so on; values which does not fall between 0 and 32767.Why is it so ? Any ideas ? However, I know we can change them through "swapon -p". But, if do not wish to do so, it uses -2, -3, -4 only. Like below,
Code:
[root@server ~]# swapon -s

I have created an error logger thread in my application using pthread_create(), I want this thread to have a lower priority than my application's priority so that the application would run properly. Is there an easy way to do this? I know that we can change priority for thread created with policies FIFO or RR, since I don't set the policy for my application, I don't know what to set for my thread.

Of course I understand that this would cause the compression to take longer but time isn't too big of a concern.
