I just installed openSUSE 64 bit and have it up and running. Great looking OS. I have four questions, not sure if I should post four threads, or ask all in here. I'm familiar with the Gnome GUI, but this is my first experience with KDE. Want to learn something new.
one: I installed the benchmark bonnie, and now can not find it. I've looked in just about every folder and can't seem to locate it.
two: I looked for the benchmark Hardinfo to install and the installer was unable to locate it. How do I find it, it is not in the package manager.
three: I install the bubble monitor desktop applet and can't figure out how to bring it up, the setting menu is in the upper right on the desktop. How do you turn on the display?
forth: Where do you set your signature in this forum? I went through the setting and couldn't find it.
This is the forth Linux OS I've installed and this was the cleanest and smoothest install yet, Debian could take some lessons at least on the install app, 5 out out 5 stars on the install package. So far I've been able to configure everything the way I want with the exceptions above. Below is my system info just in case that matters. openSUSE 64bit KDE,LMDE 64bit Gnome,Squeeze64bit Gnome - HP Compaq dc5700 MT desktop w/ Intel Core 2 Duo 6400 2.13GHz, 3.6GB DDR2 SDRAM, Intel 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller
I cannot seem to find a Preferred Applications menu anywhere in GNOME, nor can I find updated documentation on it in the GNOME website. Could someone please explain how to find it?
Whenever i'm trying to install apps via one click install or any other way, it later demands i insert the OpenSuse 11.4 CD into the drive, otherwise it won't install.
Is there a live linux distro that I can use for burn-in? I'd like something that has Bonnie++ on it. I've found other live CDs that have utilities, but nothing with bonnie++ on it.
I tried to install Lotus Notes 8.5 client on my opensuse 11.2 machine, the installation process goes smoothly but i couldn't find any short cut to run the software !!! nor in the desktop neither in the Recently Installed sub menu !!
I am trying to install gcc4.1.1 upon my opensuse machine which already has gcc 4.5 installed but I want an earlier version.
1) I downloaded gcc-4.1.1.tar.bz2 2) Extracted the contents 3) When I tried to run the command "./configure" on terminal its giving error "configure: error: can not find sources in . or ..". However I can see the configure file in the directory. Below are the files present in directory.
I have 4 workspaces set up and they appear on the bottom menu bar. Usually I can switch to each and see what's running in each, even if the apps are minimised. Now I can only see what hasn't been minimised, and I can't see or return to the ones that are minimised... System Monitor shows the minimised apps are running... I was poking around gconf editor late the other night and I must have altered a setting but I have no idea which. I've looked through docs etc but can't find a solution.
I just installed Fedora 12 86_64, and Wine won't run any software that I attempt to install. It just says opening file, and after a few seconds disappears. The same software that I was running in Wine f10 is not running in 12.
I've found lots of posts about reinstalling applications when they're already installed but I'd like to install Mediawiki v1.14, instead of the current v1.15, in order to replicate an older Windows implementation of Mediawiki. I've installed Ubuntu desktop 10.04 and Synaptic offers me only v1.15 of Mediawiki. So can I use Synatpic or the Ubuntu Software Center to obtain this slightly old version 1.14 of Mediawiki? If I use Synaptic to obtain v1.14, will it also provide the additional packages (Apache, PHP, MySql etc.,) in the same way that it would for v1.15?
Just installed Ununtu 11.04 (on a dual boot system) and can't seem to install a thing. I opened terminal and when I try to install a package it says it can't be located.Also, Firefox seems to be behaving a little oddly as it won't let me visit certain links via google. Strange indeed?
We have a combination of Red Hat Enterprise AS 3.0 and LTSP 4.2. There are 100+ users connected to a single server through Thin Client due to which the server is overloaded and degrades the performance. So I want to know how to install LOCAL APPS on LTSP 4.2 so that I can reduce the load on server.
I'm somewhat knew to Linux (CentOS), so WINE is completely foreign to me also. I'm immediately interested in TaxAct, which is how I learned about WINE. My question is whether my system will maintain the same stability that Linux is known for, and whether my CentOS build will keep it's current RHEL integrity after I install WINE, and probably other Windows Apps. Your experience with WINE is coveted.
Background: I need some help regarding install X server/apps on a headless(ie. no monitor, no graphic device) server. The server is in fact a virtual one by Amazon EC2. So there's no monitor nor any graphics hardware. Fedora server (6, i believe) is pre-packaged. The problem is that I want to be running a server app with a GUI. The app won't start without the GUI (and I probably need to tweak a few things through its GUI too).
I plan on setting up very very bare minimal X on the server and then uses NX for remote access. Can somebody shed some light here?
Simply put, my questions are:
1) What would be the minimal list of package i need to install? 2) Where can I find docs about installing and setting up NX? I could only find very fragmented/outdated docs about it.
I acquired an old ML370 Proliant server, and I'm attempting to find a way to control the fan speed, as all three noisy fans are running at full blast, and I had planned to keep this thing in the office, because it has no wireless capability or support.
I know the following:HP has a suite of programs that are variously called Insight Control Manager, Server Health driver, HP-health, hpasm, and a few more I can't remember. Obviously these are different iterations of the same program, but I have been unable to determine which one I need, and I've been completely unable to find a way to install any of them or find the repository that contains them.
The website: Download Drivers and SoftwareIt lists a lot of different Enterprise-class Server OSes, but nothing about Ubuntu or any home server OSes. I've only been at this for a week, so I don't know which of these would work with Ubuntu Server, or how to make them work if their aptitude file extension is not .deb. I'm currently running Server version 10.10, as 11.04 gave me monitor troubles.
I'm looking for an OpenGL benchmark tool for Linux. Something sort of similar to 3DMark on Windows. Is there anything at all? I tried Phoronix, was not impressed (nothing seemed to run at all).
I want to measure how CPU time was spent (user, system, i/o waits) for a process or the whole system totally in some period of time, (not in realtime intervals and ignoring idle time). Is there a way to do this in linux?
i am trying to run a benchmark exercise using DBS, ive installed the software but running it on linux has proven the hardest part. does any one know what ive to do to get it running. have tried all the tricks in d man.
I am trying to use the time command to measure the execution time of a small program. The problem is that the command has three outputs. They look like this:
Code: $ time ./a.out real0m51.935s user0m51.060s sys0m0.040s
Should the execution time be the sum of the user and the sys time? sys time is really small.
Does anyone know of any benchmark I could use to compare kickstart with WDS?Apart from like saying that windows takes 15mins to deply a system comapared to Kickstart.What else can i really use and put figures to it?
What software can i use to compare its performance when it's compiled with GCC and when compiled with MSVC? I think it should be some mathematical software, so the performance would be very dependent on CPU- and memory-specific optimizations.
I'm searching for an open-source benchmark for both OpenGL and Direct3D, i.e. to be able to compare OpenGL and Direct3D performance in WINE (and find the bottlenecks).Currently i only know Unigine benchmarks to support both of the APIs, but it's closed-source.I don't necessarily need all those shaders etc. support - just basic 3D (i.e. the features which existed in video cards of year 2002) benchmarking would be enough for now.Do there exist any open-source benchmarks for this?
I am running the newest linux (ubunbtu 11.04) on an old laptop (2.3 Ghz celeron, 760 mb ram, bios is the latest version). I don't expect it to perform well, it's not a fast processor.But.....it performs so poorly with linux...and I am beginning to wonder whether the machine is broken or malfunctioning. The processor utilization seems high at all times, but I am not sure what is normal/typical.Which of the many benchmark software packages should I use in order to quantify it's performance (or lack there of)? Are there web resources that will list benchmark values of various machines, so I can determine if my punch box is broken or whether it's just slightly slower than other similar machines?
Does anybody know details about the integrated benchmark which comes with the disk management utility "palimpsest"? How does it perform the read/write benchmark?
I have used a windows text editor (Notepad++) which has set a benchmark for myrequirements. As I tend to use linux most of the time I have been looking for a similar editor for some time. Kate is ticking most boxes. 2 things I can see which I would like if anyone could advise:You can find selected within the current file. IE. highlight a string for searching. I cant see the ability to do the same in all files. Does this exist?In NPP I can search for a string in "all files currently open" within the editor. Does this facility exist in Kate?
I recently installed opensuse 11.4 on a remote server. It has GNOME installed as a desktop. The problem I am experiencing is that when logged in through VNC, most of the GUI apps are not functioning, especially ones that require root privs. Example: The Add/Create users context does not function. After you supply root pw, nothing happens. If you launch it from a terminal, you see this:
jjmuw@g01:~> xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2 users Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "::1:1.0". No protocol specified No protocol specified
[code]....
(y2base:4872): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: ::1:1.0
Followed by a hang. This is also affecting things like the Xen configuration contexts (creating/managing VMs).
