OpenSUSE Hardware :: Mainboard With Dual Processor Socket
Jun 13, 2011
I consider building a new computer using a mainboard with support for two processors. I wish to do this to improve performance of course, specifically in regards to audio production. Though, what I would like to know is if anyone has some experience with using such a hardware on an ordinary desktop system and if there are some general implications I should be aware of?
i've recently changed my mainboard and now i got ati radeon graphic card. i had nvidia on the old board and my display was configured for nvidia.have tried oldcpu guides for ati driver install but it has failed.
Since I was change my mainboard and sound chip of course kmix doesn't work, I can change the volume but it doesn't effect on output volume it look like kmix have 3 level, Mute, Low and high.
Not sure if this is where this belongs, but I figure someone will at least point me in the right direction...So, I have an old MSI 694d Pro board, with 2 PIII 800's on it. So, I know it will support up to two Gigs of RAM, which is cool, and up to 933Mhz cpus..I know if it was a single processor board, the difference would be negligible, BUT, would I see any kind of difference if I found 2 933s and stuck them on. (Once you move into dual processors, I kind of get lost in the math...lol)
I think I could pick up some older PIIIs for pretty cheap. But would even $5 be a waste of money?Also, if anyone else has this board, I'm having networking issues. Ubuntu knows there is a PCI network card attatched, (And i've tried 3 different cards) but it will NOT connect. Would there be a board setting that would prevent network connections?
Compiling a kernel on this machine first time and get upset with which processor family/type/options to select for my Intel Pentim Dual Core T2390.Does sombody know how to configure kernel better for this processor?
In looking at the release notes, I saw the comment File locations changes:
* MySQL socket file and pid file were moved from /var/lib/mysql to more reasonable location /var/run/mysql by default.
* MySQL log files are in /var/log/mysql. Not sure what I was supposed to do with that information. So I ignored it. Now, I am finding some issues with it. The web server works, but any connection to the database fails with 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)The thought dawned on me that maybe all my databases were erased and none set up. Going in to the terminal, I could connect and list and query the databases. So even though I backed them up, they still are there!
phpMyAdmin gives the same error message.
However, when I go into MySQL Administrator, it works fine.
I forgot where I saw it, but the socket is still set to var/lib/mysql. I could not find any mysql install log and would say what was in my cnf.my, but it still doesn't exist just as it has not in the past. Not sure if I should allow the MySQL Administrator to create it since I always ignored the prompt in the past and it worked. (Just wishing to keep the defaults)
At first I thought the upgrade upgraded the MySQL, but it's still 5.1.39 as I believe before. I've un-installed mysql-server and re-installed it with no change.
Can anyone can tell me how to get the socket to /var/run/mysql or what else is wrong? I read one place where mysql is supposed to set it up.
i want to install ubuntu 10.04 on my studio 15 with i5 processor (already having win7 home ) in dual boot mode. i tried to install , it installed , but after restarting from second time onwards blank screen is coming and boot options are not coming , ERROR : no module found and with some values i tried for 4 times but unsuccessful , i did below steps
-my hdd is 320 so i separated 200(for win 7) , 50 (for personal ) , 40 unallocated for linux -inserted ubuntu 10.04 rc1 CD - in fourth step when selecting disk , i selected manual option(3rd) - and i selected 40GB unallocated and formatted to ext4 and selected as root and install - after reboot in boot options i can see 4 options i selected win 7 and from win7 i restarted - after that black screen coming , boot options are not coming
I'm running Ubuntu Server 9.10 on a dual socket X5550 platform with hyperthreading disabled. There should be 8 cores available for running processes: dual-socket, quad-core. When I start 8 single-threaded, cpu-intensive processes running, top shows six processes running at 100% and two at 50% (presumably sharing the seventh core). No other processes are reported as having >1% cpu, and yet the 1-minute load average is listed as over 11.0?!
1) Why is it not running each process on its own core? 2) Why is the load average so much greater than 8? 3) Is there anything I can change in the configuration to fix this?
i have installed ubuntu in my laptop.since i have AMD processor fedora doesnt support AMD processor..the recent version fedora 12 supprots AMD processor.i am doing my final project in ns2 hence it should support tht too!!! Which is the best choice to override ubuntu grub fedora 12 or redhat linux.
I want to configure socket timer to release socket(port) once the connection is terminated. Do we have something in Linux OS to configure this delay to release socket?.
Any command, link or man-page anything will be helpful.
Linux 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue Nov 18 12:08:10 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I need to enable telnet service on it, then found xinetd and telnet-server not installed,
Then I had installed below First I had installed Xinetd: xinetd-2.3.14-21.fc10.i386.rpm then I had installed telnet-server: xinetd-2.3.14-21.fc10.i386.rpm
After installation I executed below commands
Service xinetd start Chkconfig xinetd on Chkconfig telnet on Service iptables stop Chkconfig iptables off Iptables �F
After I had tried telnet localhost ----IT FAILED
when I run telnet server manually by issuing the below command /usr/sbin/in.telnetd, I get below error [COLOR="Red"]/usr/sbin/in.telnetd: getpeername: Socket operation on non-socket[/COLOR]
I have other system running same OS, I had followed the same steps discussed above to enable telnet, It works fine on it.
the above code works fine.if we copmile and run ./a.exe 192.xx.xx.xxx 1111 and press enter it works fine..everytime it asks "Please enter the message: " and if give that will be displayed in server. but my problem is i dont want to print everytime "Please enter the message: " i just want to feed some words one by one to the socket.
im getting that error in my code for some reason. I compiled my code, and when i try to run this server it throws me an error on my call to setsocketopt(). The only way it can reach that part of my loop is if it succeeds when it calls sock() so I dont understand why the error says its an operation on a non-socket. Im just trying to set up a server to pass messages from a client to it a viceversa. Here is the code:
Code: int main() { int socket_fd, new_socket_fd, k; struct addrinfo hints, *server_info, *p; struct sockaddr_storage peer_address; code....
I recently read in a forum that by default the Linux kernel only activates one of two cores in a dual core processor. Searching online gave one option to find out and that was the mpstat command. I therefore ran the command and got the following output.As the result says, it shows only 1 cpu. I was wondering what I could do to activate both cores in my machine, and whether doing so was going to cause me any problems.
I have a problem with kmix, which uses 100% of my processor without stopping. And this is providing to rise of temperature above 80 degrees Celsius. The problem became actual after one of updates of 11.4 series.
I am pragmatically trying to upload a list of files from my client machine to a proFTPd server I have running on Ubuntu. Every time I get several (around fifty) files into the transfer, I get the following error: Quote: Connection reset by peer: socket write error
I am able to remotely upload 25,000 small files of ~ 1K in size, but when I go to upload hundreds of 2-4 Mb files, I get a socket write error. Am I using up all available sockets before they can be released? If so, how do I release the sockets? If not, what does this error mean and why am I getting it?
Am investigating processor affinity theory and practice, am somewhat surprised at the paucity of information on something that has been a part of many Windows Enterprise type applications for more than a decade and although I haven't investigated would assume is supported by big iron UNIX.What it is Processor Affinity is the *NIX terminology for "soft" assigning a process and its threads to a specific processor core. On multi-tasking machines and particularly those which run heavy loads it can be useful to "advise" the Scheduler to isolate/assign heavy loads to a core separate from other processes. I also have a specific situation where I would like to run more than one instance of a specific app, but cannot when sharing the same processing environment.
What I've found so far By default, any and all processes are assigned an affinity that permits running on any and all available processors.The taskset utility can be used to modify the affinity for any process, which means that once an application/service/process has been launched, only then can the affinity be modified.It seems that the RH platform may also have a utility called tuna which might provide some tuning capabilities in addition to setting affinity but does not seem to be in the SuSE repositories and I cannot find source.Is there a reference or utility that can launch an application with a specified processor affinity?
Are there any tools available in openSUSE for evaluating cpu/processor performance. My processor/cpu is under warranty til end of October, will like to know whether I need to get new one or i am good. I am looking for something that can log an event and report. Have tried stress and crashme but they dont show any results.
i have a OpenSUSE 11.3 with Gnome desktop ( core i5 processor, 2 GB DDR3 RAM ) want to run memtest, plz advice me which prog is best for it and where to find documentation or videos.Moreover is there any tests for motherboard / processor
I am using suse for a long time but I did not yet experience this strange error:
I installed 11.2 and now 11.3RC1 on a new HW: ASUS M4N72-E with AMD Phenom2 X4 965, 8GB Memory, standard settings.
I experienced unusual errors when copying large files to the new system with scp/ssh (connection broken).
Even stranger I could not read .tgz files created on the older machine, same OS 11.2, but MB ASUS M2N32-SLI with AMD Phenom X4 9850
Testing further reveals that if I create a .gz file from the same source it produces every time a different output:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3875041280 Jun 21 01:51 wwtest.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1326141906 Jun 21 01:55 wwtest1.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1326137319 Jun 21 03:26 wwtest2.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1326146273 Jun 22 07:32 wwtest3.tar.gz
[Code].....
I never saw something like it, I guess it must be something with the underlying library not working on the new processor. I tried with slower memory speed, newest BIOS etc ...always the same errors. Other wise the system works absolutely stable.
When I compare the generated files with one created on the older system it looks like there are single bits missing in a random number of bites.
I replaced only my mainbord and cpu and Ubuntu 9.10 boot just fine. The only issue that I have is that my connection speed dropped from 10Mb to 3Mb. I try the connection on my laptop and it is fine 10Mb, so the problem is with the PC. What else to try before reinstall Ubuntu as a final step?
