Slackware :: Is The Next 32B - 14 - Going To Have Large Memory Capability Enabled?

Jan 4, 2011

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.

Slackware :: Take Out The Multilib Capability For System?

Feb 5, 2010

I want to take out the multilib capability for my system. Is it as simple as using "slackpkg clean-system", to remove all the compat32 pkgs, then using "slackpkg upgrade-all" to replace all the gcc and glibc packages?The reason I ask, is that I only used the multilib to be able to run Google Earth. There are no other x86 packages on the system. I have another x86 computer that will run Google Earth if I need it. It just wasn't worth it for this one package.

General :: Transferring Large Files Using Scp With CPU And Memory Considerations?

Oct 5, 2010

I want to transfer an arbitrarily large file (say >20GB) between 2 servers. I have several considerations:

Must use port 22 (ssh) because of firewall restrictions
Cannot tax the CPU (production server)
Memory efficiency
Would prefer a checksum check but that could be done manually
Time is not of the essence

Server A and Server B are on the same private network (sharing a switch) and data security is not a concern, Server A and Server B are not on the same network and transfer will be via the public internet so data security is a concern, My first thought was using nice on an scp command with a non-CPU-intensive cypher (blowfish?). But I thought I'll refer to the SU community for recommendations.

Ubuntu :: Understand A Large Amount Of Allocated Memory That Seems Not To Be Accounted For On System?

Mar 24, 2010

I am trying to understand a large amount of allocated memory that seems not to be accounted for on my system.I'll say up front that I am discussing memory usage without cache and buffers, 'cause I know that misunderstanding comes up a lot.I am in a KDE 4.3 desktop (Kubuntu 9.10), using a number of java apps like Eclipse that tend to eat up a lot of memory.after a few days, even if I quit most apps, 1 gb of ram remains allocated (out of 2 gb).this appeared excessive, and I took the time to add up all values of the RES column in htop (for all users).the result was about 1/2 gb.am I trying to match the wrong values?or could some memory be allocated and not show up in the process list?this is the output of free

Slackware :: Can't Install From DVD With AHCI Enabled?

May 12, 2011

I'm doing a clean install on a new machine, and when I tried to boot the install DVD, ISOLinux gave me the following error:

Code:
Could not find kernel image: linux After some experimentation, I found that switching the SATA mode in the BIOS from AHCI to Native IDE solved the problem and installation is proceeding normally.

However, I want AHCI enabled. (I think, unless someone has a compelling reason why I shouldn't.) My web-searching suggests that if the system is installed in IDE mode, it won't boot if I switch to AHCI afterwards. Is this a common problem? Is there a workaround? Is it a motherboard issue?

Slackware :: CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ Enabled By Default?

Mar 1, 2011

Today I stumbled upon Magic_SysRq_key. Basically, it's allows the user to perform various low level commands regardless of the system's statee.g.Alt+SysRq+b will reboot the system without syncing or unmounting.(SysRq is Print on most systems.)I see the point the use for kernel hackers and such, which compile their own kernels anyway, but why is this enabled by default?

Slackware :: Current Can't Log Into KDE 4.5.4 With Desktop Effects Enabled

I updated to latest -current last night and since then have not been able to login to my KDE desktop. After typing in the password, I get the starter icons come up, and just as the last one comes up, the desktop logs out to the login screen again. I worked out that it was because desktop effects were enabled - disabling these in kwinrc allows me to login, although without desktop effects.Using NVidia 256.53 binary drivers b.t.w.

Slackware :: Will A Program Written For X86 Function On Slackware64 If It Is Multilib Enabled

Feb 22, 2011

Been thinking about changing over to 64 bit, but I was just curious about whether or not I'll have to worry about incompatibility with a few 32bit-only applications I use, once I've set up multilib. I'll test it out in vbox when I get home but I wanted to check here to see if I could maybe get a solid yes/no/maybe answer.

Slackware :: NFS - How To Speed Up Large File/folder Transfer - Write - Speeds?

Dec 13, 2010

About NFS.

Server:

Client(s):

Code:

I have followed Robbie Workmans' HowTo [url]

Reading and writing works absolutely fine with small files but large files are tediously slow in writing to the server. (rw,no_subtree_check) are options in exported directories.

What is your experience with NFS and how can I speed up large file/folder transfer(write) speeds?

Slackware :: Compiling Large Slackbuilds - Error-message - Not Enough Space Left On Device

Aug 20, 2010

I am currently running slackware 12.2 on a 25 GB partition. I like to use slackbuilds, but when I try to compile larger tarballs (like abiword, or a patched version of Ghostscript as I did today) I receive an error-message: 'Not enough space left on device'. I think the size of the partition must be big enough (I never got this message when compiling with Linux From Scratch). I think it has something to do with the size of my /tmp directory, but I don't know how to fix this. Is there a way to solve the problem, so that I could be able to use slackbuild-scripts?

Ubuntu :: Fonts Are Just Too Large And Large

Feb 18, 2011

how big and widespaced the fonts on Clementine playlist are and how good they look on the appmenu (where my mouse pointer is). This is not because Clementine is QT4, I've got the same problem with Chrome, Opera etc. I've been messing with system-settings (KDE settings tool) a day before the fonts become that widespaced in order to make my KDE apps look more native on my GNOME, but I haven't touched the fonts settings there.

Slackware :: Mkinitrd -Warning: The Initial RAM Disk Is Too Big To Fit Between The Kernel A The 15M-16M Memory Hole"

May 7, 2011

I used mkinitrd to build an initrd from the slackware 2.6.37.6 sources. Lilo throws the following: "Warning: The initial RAM disk is too big to fit between the kernel a the 15M-16M memory hole. It will be loaded in the highest memory as though the configuration file specified "large-memory" and it will be assumed that the BIOS supports memory moves above 16M."

Also, I am running swap, / and home on an encrypted volume group. When the initrd boots (but prior to mounting the encrypted vg) I get a message saying that no modules are found-sounds like a daft question but is this expected? I expect that this is because initrd is looking for modules, but can't find them because the relevant partition isn't mounted.

Fedora :: LiveCD - DVD With RPM Capability ?

Sep 22, 2010

I tried the rescue mode of the install DVD. It doesn't have any package management initialized. What I want to do is have a LiveCD environment where I can install an RPM package into that live running system (not persistently ... but pretending so in RAM).

Ubuntu can do this. If I choose "Try Ubuntu" in the boot menu selection, I get a live system that has the DEB package manager ready to go. It can install more packages that depend on packages already installed.

I just want the same but having Fedora. If 16 GB of RAM is not enough, I can get more.

General :: RDP Capability Needed

May 29, 2010

I am looking to setup some computers as thinclients to connect to my MS Terminal Servers. We have a homebrew application that configures RDP sessions. A user logs into a webpage that dynamically generates a "launch.rdp" file. This file is generated to balance the load between servers.What I'd like to do is configure an image to boot up into Mozilla. When the user goes to the webpage, I'd like the launch.rdp file to open up in a terminal server session.I've tried with rdesktop and tsclient, but unfortunately neither would work with a "rdp" file.
