So how do I get real USB performance back? On older kernels, copying files to USB sticks, I'd get 30Mb/s. Struggling to get 4Mb/s now. What settings can I change?

I installed a fresh copy of Slackware 13.1 (stable) on one of my media servers and I am experiencing something strange.... When I power up the machine, I see the kernel booting, no errors, until it gets to the point where it says:
And then randomly freeze there.... Well the machine is not totally frozen because the cursor still blinks. But it will never continue... Like I said, this happens on a random basis... After a reset, it might go through or simply stall at the same spot.
I remember after installing Slack 13.1, I rebooted the machine but forgot to remove the DVD from the player, so the install routine started up, and froze at the same point when it was loading the kernel for the setup programs...
My mobo is a MSI k9N platinum.
I never had this problem before.... (well I never used 13.1 before). Since I got this machine, I used slack 12.2 and slack 13-current with success.
This problem makes the machine extremely unreliable because I intent to use it as a backup and media server, so chances I will WOL the machine and use it remotely... if that happens.
I have one machine where I have several versions installed on different partitions. The base partition (/dev/hda1) is Slack 12.1. On a spare partition (/dev/hdc4) I had installed Slackware64-current. Last week I slackpkg upgraded and installed the 2.6.32.2 kernel, and now that partition will not boot. I know that with the new kernels the hd* designation has been removed, and have already redone that fstab (accessing it from a different boot) to reflect the sd*. Here is the slack64 section of my lilo.conf:
Code:
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /other/spare4/boot/vmlinuz

it's possible to compile the 2.6.37 kernel patched with the autogroup patch on a Slackware 13.1 system running 2.6.33.4-smp with 2.6.33.4 headers? I just compiled and installed the 2.6.37-autogroup kernel from AUR on my ARCH setup and I like it especially when using firefox with lots of tabs open and other background apps also running. I did notice a speed and smothness difference in my ARCH testing setup with this kernel patch and I can get same results in 13.1??

Fresh and Full install: Slackware 13.37 64-bit x86_64. What is the correct procedure to switch from huge kernel to 2.6.38.4 kernel?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently got an SSD and want to switch to using the noop IO scheduler permanently. I understand how to change the scheduler at runtime, but where can I put the command to make it apply on bootup?
I know you can pass "elevator=noop" to the kernel, but that sets all the drives to that scheduler, which I don't want as I still have ye olde spinning drives too - I just want a single drive set to noop..
I'm guessing there's an init script somewhere which is ideal for this, but I've no clue which!
I have seen tutorials all over the web on how to use this, but I can't find the Task Scheduler anywhere on my system. I'm using 9.10.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
When I try to schedule a task with kcron, It doesnt work. I installed it with sudo apt-get install kcron. Now it appears in advanced system settings.If I test the task with the run now button the task works correctly. However, when the set time arrives, the task is not performed automatically. I have tried both the personal user cron and the system cron.
By the way, when I try sudo service crond restart, It says service not recognized and when I use sudo contab -e, the file is empty. It should have something since I added an entry in the system's cron in the kde schedule manager.
I'm trying to run a command with the 'at' scheduler in Linux Mint 9. It's basically a ssh connection to my Smoothwall firewall to tell it to shut down, but that part isn't really important. The problem I have is that I can't get the 'at' schedule command to do much. I can type commands into the terminal and they work perfectly. If I enter exactly the same command into 'at' nothing happens.
For example, I can type 'plink -load smoothwall' into a terminal and a new ssh terminal comes up asking for my password to make an ssh connection. If I create an 'at' job with the same command, ie:
Code:
$ at now + 5 minutes
at> plink -load smoothwall
at> <Ctrl-d>
$
then nothing at all happens when the 5 minutes are up. I've checked that the job exists by doing an 'atq' command. Obviously there's something about 'at' that I don't understand. I've googled, I've looked in this forum and I've looked in a copy of 'The Linux Bible 2010' all without success. I've tried various alternative ways of entering the command for a couple of hours and I'm still stuck.

I recently loaded ubuntu 10.04 on an older laptop to get a feel for using a GUI version. I would like to setup a recurring job schedule to start sound recorder or Audacity. I would prefer it was from a graphical user interface but would do it with a cron if I could get started.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with Vuze locking up when I use the speed scheduler plugin. I never had this issue when I was using them in windows.
Here is whats happening. I have speed scheduler set to pause my seeds during the day. sometimes when it pauses a finished torrent the status of the torrent will be stuck on "stopping". When it does this my bandwidth up and down drop to 0 and I cannot download new torrents. I cannot removed the "stopping" torrent or even restart it. Vuze just kind of locks up. I have to kill the java process and restart Vuse before I can get it working again.
I'm running the latest version of Vuze and the speed scheduler plugin on Ubuntu 10.04.

Following VMware recommendations on how to change linux I/O scheduler for guests, I'm trying to do it on my VM machine running Debian Wheezy. At the moment I'm running kernel backports:
Code: Select all$ uname -a
Linux brutus2 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u3~bpo70+1 (2016-01-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
The default I/O scheduler at the moment for device /dev/sda is CFQ, and I can change it on the fly to NOOP:
Code: Select all$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
noop deadline [cfq]
$ echo noop > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
[noop] deadline cfq

I am trying to explore if Linux can be run on a multicore platform when the max frequency of one the cores is less than the others.
please give me some pointers or let me know if you have tried such HW configuration.

This command was successful, but I don't know if this is alright. I made the changes in lilo.conf, add initrd = initrd.gz. This is all on unencrypted /boot partition. The boot=/dev/sda1 I also set for the unencrypted boot partition. When I boot the system I get a kernel panic:

I am trying to install Slackware(x32) 13.1.
EDIT: forgot to mention, I'm on windows 7. no access to linux outside of a vm.
Dan Rosenberg has issued another Linux Kernel Exploit with PoC described in LWN [URL] I have tested that this exploit is not working on -Current (custom kernel, 2.6.36.1), which is good sign that Slackware is already immune of those problems.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI've just upgraded my slackware 13.1 box to the latest stable kernel. Really impressed by the improvement on boot time and graphic card driver for my old Intel chipset. So I intend to use this newly built kernel to another computer of mine, which is running slackware 13.1 too. I want to keep this computer as clean as possible by installing no build tools, experimenting stuff, etc..., just binary packages for a neat, minimal box. So I'm thinking of copy the new kernel files (System.map, vmlinuz, config) to /boot as directed here in the slackbook.
But as I also notice that there are new files installed under /lib/modules/linux-2.6.35.7 (the new kernel), I'm afraid that I'm missing some other files of the kernel installed somewhere in the system. So are these files all the components of the new kernel, or do I need to look at some other places to grab the whole cake?
I installed Slackware 13.37 today, fresh install. I added the generic 2.6.37.6 kernel to lilo, rebooted, and ran with it. I transferred some stuff to my hard drive and installed a few things, reboot again and now I can't boot up with my kernel of choice (but I can with the huge kernel). It stops during the boot process and says
Code:
[1.785238] No filesystem could mount root, tried: romfs
[1.785342] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)
[1.785417] Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.37.6 #2
After that is a line that says Call Trace and several lines after that with stuff that makes no sense to me and that I don't feel like typing out, but will if it is relevant.
