OpenSUSE Hardware :: Minimum RAM Requirement For 64Bit?
Jul 5, 2011
I recently installed openSUSE 11.4 64Bit on my desktop computer and it is running like a breeze! I have an Intel Dual Core 2.5 and 2GB of RAM and a NVIDIA 8400GS 256MB display card. I just want to know if 2GB of system RAM would be sufficient to run a Windows XP VirtualBox with 768MB of RAM assigned to it? PS - openSUSE is still the best of the best!
So short-term needing a replacement for the various tools MS traps you into to make it easy to work with SQL Server.
I'm going to be using postgreSQL, and I'm wondering what's a good strategy as far as a GUI front-end.
1. No building from source. Don't have the time. 2. Keeps package dependencies to a minimum. 3. Won't require me to use KDE. My dev machine is too old to use KDE productively.
I want to switch from my windows xp computer from Slackware Linux for my home pc.I use world and excel software and videos as well to watch movies how can I open my Ms office files in it? Does Slackware support yahoo messenger with voice ? What is the system requirement for slackware,the Ram,Processor and hard disk space for its latest version?
I choose "accept always", but the same message appears next time. I do not wish to have a certificate requirement for MUTT and did not intentionally set the program up to include this feature. How can I get rid of it? My second choice would be to get a new certificate, but then I have to go through this every year. I have MUTT working on two other servers and this does not happen.
I am relatively new to Fedora and appreciate it is intended to be a bleeding/leading edge distribution but the continual requests to reboot the computer after updates is intrusive and seems rather odd for a unix operating system. It is often not clear to me why it is necessary when I look at the names of the items triggering the request.
I don't need password protection, I don't have it on Windows 7 for any acct, and also don't want it on linux.However, as a non-tech person, I couldn't eliminate this requirement.I tried inputting an easy password to minimize inconvenience but was warned it was either "too short" or "too simple".
I have an HTPC box that I'd like to make a bit more accommodating to the other folks in my apartment. Is it possible to allow them to install and update software without entering a password? Obviously, I wouldn't want to open access to the repo list or packages from the web.
I am in urgent requirement of free simulation source code for Intra-domain. Mobility Management in OMNETT++ or NS2. Where I can post queries for OMNETT++.
I'm about to attempt to upgrade gtk+2 from the current 2.14 to 2.16 to fulfill a requirement for devede, I'm planning on using the slackbuild from slackware/l/gtk+2 and just editing the version. I think this approach will work but I was hoping to get some feedback (and any warnings or advice) before I dive in - obviously I will back up before hand.
I interest to know, what kind i should know for the technical knowledge for Network Engineer and System administrator ? I have a basic knowledge on linux. But still need advisability to be a Network Engineer or System Administrator. Anybody can advice me to know what i have to start to learn or know about the technical requirements to be a Network Engineer or System Administrator ?
I upgraded from F11(x86_64) to F12 with no reported errors. (expected an update session to follow, but it didn't.) Tried a manual "yum update" and it aborted with a notice that libssl.so.8 was not found (required by python-2.6.2). I didn't find anything useful at wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq.
The DVD installs python-2.6.2-2 (8/21/09) and openssl-1.0.0-0.10.beta3 (10/16/09). /usr/lib/libssl.so.10 is a symbolic link to libssl.1.0.0. libssl.so.8 is not found, really. I thought of replacing openssl with one from F11 but it was required by too many packages - couldn't remove.
I tried to find a later rpm of python, but couldn't locate any Fedora directories with individual packages.
I've searched the web and the forums. What am I missing?
I have an Acer Aspire netbook with 1GB RAM and 1.6 GHz dual-core 32-bit x86 chips. The KPackageKit / yum / rpm chain is running too slow for me. In addition to the time required to download any new packages or updates, it seems to require at least one full minute of processing time to install each package, update, or bug fix, no matter how small. Another full minute is consumed for each package in "cleaning up."Running yum from the command line takes nearly the same amount of time.During this time, I cannot run any other applications without severe thrashing. It seems that a full gigabyte of memory is in use with some 100M swapped out to disk.
Is there any way to reduce the running time and memory requirement of the update process?While not updating or installing software, I do not normally run out of memory (i.e. begin thrashing) until I have about a dozen browser tabs open, or the like.
However, the page I'm downloading has remote content from a domain other than somedomain.com. It was asked of me to download that content too. is this possible with wget?
The iptables has every rule set correctly, the users in the subnet works great, but I have the following issue.every user connect to a mysql running on the internet through the port 3306, the forward and masquerade do the job. Now I have a user in the outside, and he wants to connect to a mysql in a certain machine (Not the gateway), prerouting rules solve my problems, but all the packages from the inside users goes now to that certain machine. I would like something like if the package passed trough masquerade don't pass trough the prerouting rule, and if it come from the outside (Not a package that come from a petition from the inside) pass trough the prerouting rule.
The Defense Security Services' (DSS) National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) require collection of specific audit events.
System Access: (This works)
Unauthorized File Access: (This does not work)
I need to be able to ausearch and find if any of the above failed attempts exist. However, upon testing any and all of the above, a failed audit does not appear in the /var/log/audit/audit.log file. Supposedly, the nispom.rules file that comes with Red Hat is designed to accomplish this requirement.
The nispom.rules file was copied from /usr/share/doc/audit-1.5.5/nispom.rules to /etc/audit/audit.rules and has NOT been modified.
Our audit version is: audit-1.5.5-7.el5. We verified that the audit.rules files is being read by placing a syntax error in the file. An error message was returned which confirms that the file is being read.
I was trying to install fedora 13 on my ESX box. Since it doesnt show me OS Type as Fedora(while I do have RHEL, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE etc)I checked Other Linux 64 bits. and by default it took 384 MB. When I started installing it says insufficient memory and did the text mode installation. What is the minimum RAm I should select for GUI Installation.
What is the minimum amount of processes that can be run and still keeping stable? I have what looks like over 100 processes running and my computer is lagging pretty bad. Attached is an output of Code: ps -A And it comes and goes with the cpu usage. cpu1 will run at like 9 or 10 percent idle while cpu2 will run at 100 percent all the time. I am not sure whats going on. But id hate to have to start from scratch again begins I just got it set up the way i want it. And the network activity keeps having spikes when I am not online. I've scanned with multiple port scanners and nothing seems out of the norm.
I have a 32-bit Ubuntu installation that for technical reasons needs to be 64-bit even though it has under 4 gigs of ram. I don't want to spend loads of time upgrading it, and almost everything is from the repository. So what I am hoping is that I will be able to find a way to "save" the programs I have installed and then automatically reinstall them when I install the 64-bit OS, install my (2) non-repository programs, and then simply reload the old home directory. Would that work, and how would I do it?
Dell eStudio 1737, has good maximum volume, but when I turn down the volume to a little more than 1/2 way, it is already very low. All other volume controls are already set to maximum. What I would like to do is fix the volume control so that the volume can be set across the entire range of the Alsa mixer control.
After working for about 15 years on MS Windows, I have decided to to change over to Linux. I have a current netbook with 1 GB RAM. The only work I would be doing on the netbook are:
1) Surfing Internet using Firefox browser.
I would avoid saving anything on my disk while browsing. If I need to open files, videos, then I would be opening them directly in the browser while I am connected to the internet.
2) I would be writing code in Java using Java Standard Edition (not the enterprise one).
Those Java programs may need to use the network, graphics, sound- actually the programs will need to use any available Java API/Package/methods available in the Sun distribution of Java.
Now, For the above to jobs, I want to install the bare minimum, smallest linux on my netbook. I mus mention taht I do not want any Linux package/program/library that will not be required for the above two jobs. To rephrase this, I want to have only those linux components that are absolutely necessary for the above two jobs (Surifng the internet with full power on Firefox, and developing Java programs which may use _any_ functionality that is provided by the Sun distribution of Java Standard Edition.
If i want to install minimum gnome on debian with netinstaller,what would be the command? Is it correct? aptitude install gnome-core If i do aptitude install gnome-core,what packages would be installed on system?
