When I run ardour sound editing I get this message , but it starts ok Your system has a limit for maximum amount of locked memory! This might cause Ardour to run out of memory before your system runs out of memory. You can view the memory limit with 'ulimit -l', and it is normally controlled by /etc/security/limits.conf
bash-4.1$ ulimit -l 64 my limits.conf is like this audio - rtprio 99 @audio - memlock 250000
I am using a machine I SSH into to do some processing over very large files, but I am now unable to access it through ssh.The shell I had opened is not responsive, and when I try to connect again, it hangs even before asking for the password.I suspect this to be a memory problem as a couple of processes need to load a lot of the data to process it.Is there an emergency way of going back into this machine, or killing some processes to free the memory up ? I tried ssh ... 'kill -9 pid' but it is not even able to do this.Do you reckon the processing is still happening or is the machine completely idle ? How would you advise me to go back to it ? It's for my final year project, and I'm starting to stress !
I am new to ubuntu i have installed ubuntu 10.04 through windows , while installing i selected size as 4 gb, but now after updating the ubuntu i am getting a warning as low disk space, how can i increase the memory where ubuntu is installed.
My company has policy that user accounts expire once a month and they also get locked out if they re-try login more than 3 times (pam_tally). It gets very annoying every time they come and ask to get password changed.How do I let users change their own password? Also let the system email them every day for two weeks before password expiration and until they change their password?
I want to know if i can increase the memory space allocated for a process manually while the process is running ,,,, and if it is possible how i can do this .
My problem is I installed Zone Minder for camera security and I'm testing it on my laptop with the built in webcam and everything seems to work perfectly except when I try to view the live feed from the camera, it's just a black box. No video.
I checked this website and it's exactly the problem I'm having with a fix for it but his fix doesn't work. He says to type:
Code: user@ubuntu:~$ sudo echo "256000000" > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax user@ubuntu:~$ sudo service apache2 restart user@ubuntu:~$ sudo service zoneminder restart
I've been running Ubuntu Maverick as a fresh install since release, and for the last 2 days, I'm having to log in twice! This is only on a locked screen, not on reboot or switch users. After the first login, I see the desktop for a second, then the screen goes blank. I wiggle the mouse and the login screen is there again. The 2nd login goes as normal.
I have gradually been installing things as I need them over the week since install, but I can't pin it down to any of those. It's getting pretty annoying when the screen saver kicks in!
When I play Bejewelled Blitz on Mozilla firefox or Google Chrome,, it is so painfully slow that it is frustrating, I have all the latest updates from Ubuntu installed including the Adobe flashplayer. Is there some way I can increase the graphics memory allocation?
I have a problem with my sound. I can't really increase the volume of the sound. I already looked in alsamixer and everything is maximized. With the same headphones in Windows, I can achieve great sound volume. Does someone know why the sound is too low? I started alsaconf and created a new configuration. After that run aumix. Now I have the volume I wanted.
I know of /etc/security/limits.conf and that can be used to limit all sorts of good things, but I haven't found anything that talks about using this when the users come from LDAP. Would I be able to do something like
@"Domain Users" soft nproc 25 @"Domain Users" hard nproc 40
where Domain Users is the group all users belong to in our system.
I'm running Slackware 13.37 with XFCE. I'm trying to increase the menu button size. I remember having succeeded in doing this with XFCE 4.2, but I unfortunately forgot to write down how I did that.
Since Ubuntu become 10.04, Firefox got some big issues with losing it's memory of saved users/passwords and places I've visited earlier. To fix it, I need to close and re-open Firefox and all is fine for a time. But after some time, all stuffs is gone missing again and I need to close and re-open it...
Why isn't Windows users affected with this? Only Ubuntu folks?
I have a system with 2G of memory and swap memory of 4G.
This is the output from :
PHP Code:
How could they do to the memory cache to be used as much? Because, occasionally, swap is used and note that the system could use the memory cache does not swap ...
Just wondering now I see computers everywhere with 6G of ram or more if the new 32b kernels are going to be setup for large amounts of ram or will they still need to be recompiled? Also will there be better ssd support for things like "trim"? I know you edit the fstab to get the Linux version of trim but I am just wondering if stuff like that will just be automatic or if I will continue to need to tweak. I like to tweak but sometimes its the lack of need for tweaking that makes me like slack.
I'm running 13.1 on a Dell Latitude D630 with 4GB of RAM. My problem is that Slackware doesn't seem to see all of the available memory. Here are the #s being reported (just including pertinent #s rather than all output)...
I can only start my Internet connection from the root bash. If i type pppoe-start/pppoe-stop in my user's shell it just says "command not found". Any way to permit the users to bring the ppp connection up and down ?
I have installed compiz in slakcware 13.1 32 bit. i enable compiz in KDE + emerald (until this step, i didn't encounter a problem). But after i want to enable compiz in same PC and same OS but different username, the window decoration show same problem, it's missing !
That problem occur when i use KDE (it's same window manager that i use to install compiz in the first user). but if the second user use XFCE and i enable compiz + emerald, it's weird...it didn't show any problem...it's perfect.
But the problem is, if the second user want to use KDE desktop and enable compiz...that problem occur again...
My crontabs under root are working fine, but I can't seem to get my user crontabs to work.
When I do a crontab -l -u <user>, I get a listing of the crontab file, but it never is executed.
I've been reading about cron.allow and cron.deny, but I can't find those in the slackware distro. Is there something special that I need to do to allow user crontabs in Slackware? (version 13.1 if that helps)
My home computer is (of course) a multi-user system with my wife and I each having separate non-root accounts. Usually at the end of the day I exit X, drop down to the terminal, su to root and type
Code: shutdown -h now to turn the computer off for the night.
However, my wife doesn't know (or care to know) the root password, but she would like to be able to shutdown the computer.I tried making a /etc/shutdown.allow file, and typing
Code: /sbin/shutdown -a -h now from her account, but it didn't work. I got an error that one has to be root to do that.
2 sets of skype logs on work PC (Windows) - and I forgot to take a copy when I finished the assignment - and on my own Slackware PC. Would be very useful to be able to have only one set (and same for instant message logs) on my usb memory stick. Is this possible?
I am wanting to startup some programs when I first login with a certain user, but I don't like using KDEs builtin autorun system as I have to go through menuust to edit my programs. Is there not a rc.local for each home directory
