Most of FLOSS projects has a lot of code to compile, and a big make process. On my new PC i need a half hour to compile Inkscape, and on my old laptop i need something near to 2 hours. There is a way to put a percentage of the work done in the makefile? (Always there are a hard and dirty way... there is a good, beauty, common way?)
View 1 RepliesStarting this week I am finding that my computer will randomly start to run high CPU and using TOP. I find that its the apt-get process thats running it up at 100% (please note that top will show processes up to 800% i7quad with turbo-boost show as 8 cores). Whenever I catch this I do let it run for a reasonable amount of time 10-15 mins to allow for updates or whatever its trying.
However, I do end up having to kill -9 it as just don't understand why its running so hot. I realize this is a really early bump but its not intended as so, I was browsing the forums and realized I left the title as apt-get.... and would be better if I gave a more descriptive title. hense the edit. I really hope I am not breaking any forum rules here as I really am not intent on bumping so soon.
I am running a HP dc5750 dual core computer with a 512MB Nvidia 7200/7300 graphics card my operating system is Ubuntu 10.10. Both my processors are operating at 98-104% cpu usage, it appears that gnome-appearance-properties is the culprit and the only way to return to normal is to end these processes. I have been setting up the desktop cube to my liking and the processor appears to rise up to 100% again. Would getting a 1GB graphics card correct this or is this a bug in maverick meerkat. Any advice would be appreciated. Please keep it simply as I am a Newbie to Linux and find things over-whelming at times. Also would running at 100% on both processors at indefinite periods of time harm my computer.

The installation proceeds smoothly until the 3'rd CD and then hangs at the FONTCONFIG UPDATE stage. The hung process is apparently rescan-scsi-bus which reaches this stage

It is not possible to kill this process even with "kill -9". I have to kill the parent process which is Slack setup, so the installation is incomplete.

I'm having small boot issue with my present Linux box, which is presently running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. When booting from a Live CD, Ubuntu 9.xx+ or any other linux variant I have, the machine will come to a complete stop about half way into the boot process. I think this may have something to do with the WiFi card that I have installed. Are there any suggestions that could help me remedy this problem short of removing the card itself?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm on ubuntu 10.04, and pretty new to it - over the last 2 weeks I've done probably 10+ fresh installs due to me not knowing the system, trying things. I looked for a way to back it up and found this guide - [URL]. When I use the feature as listet, it doesn't exclude the folders, and the system is "almost" the same as pre-recovery - and I'm copy/pasting. Is there a way to make a COMPLETE replica of my system, that I can launch when failed, so that - it's back to when I was "ok".. like all programs install post-copy to be gone..

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to kill parent process after "fork()" method. but if I kill parent process with "exit(0)" method, main() thread is terminated as well so child prosess doesn't work anymore. Is there any way to kill only parent process without affecting to child process?
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
[code]....
Consider the following code:
Code:
int main()
{
int i=0;
pid_t pid;
for(i=0;i<2;i++)
[code]....
I get the following output:
Parent: chid_pid=4356 i=0 parent's pid=4355
This is child 4356 i=0
This is child 4357 i=1
[code]....
I can observe instead of two children(as I expect) processes there are three. This is because child process 4356 creates its own child. Why all the messages of the type "This is child X i=Y" are concentrated one under another? How exactly fork works? Is affected by the fact that I have a dual-core processor?

I am trying to make a file run at startup (e.g. runlevel 5). Here is what I done;
Copied file to /etc/init.d/rc5.d with these permissions:
-rwx------ 1 root root 274 Mar 17 08:33 noip2.sh
Contents of this file is:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
# . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # uncomment/modify for your killproc
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting noip2."
[Code]....
And the file this is supposed to run is in /usr/local/bin/noip2 with the permissions as:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 80431 Mar 17 08:16 noip2
However, this didn't worked for me. What can I do?
Edit: I can run shell file by invoking it with terminal. So there is no problem with the file
I'm building the code on remote linux machines, and it takes very long time. Since all the filesystem is on NFS, I suspect the NFS is the bottleneck. Can I profile the build process (make all) down to system read/write calls? Or simply put, what tool do I need to find the bottleneck. Is strace gonna help?
