What I mean by this are two things:
1. When the computer boots and asks me to pick Linux or another operating system, how do I change the time down, since I don't really need 2 minutes to choose the only operating system I have...
2. When the computer shuts down, and gives me 30 seconds to cancel or not (this is with a GUI), how do I reduce that time to 0?
I've installed slackware64 up to date and have a annoying problem:
Dolphin crashes many times.
Here is some debug info:
we bought a dual 12-core Opteron machine (Supermicro H8DGi board). Installed Slackware 13.37 and performed some few tests. We observed that performance quickly degraded as the box became loaded. For instance, a lonely task may took "t", but when running 24 of them at the same time (fully loaded box), it may took 2 to 3 times longer. From some test we did (tinkering with BIOS, moving memory modules, etc) we came to the conclusion the problem was due to a terrible memory managment. Finally we solved the problem by recompiling the kernel and taking the .config file from OpenSuse. Thus, there must be something to be tweaked in the standard Slackware .config file

I know this is a rather too generic thread, but bear with me so I can try to explain it... I use Slackware64-current almost exclusively both at work (95%+ of the time) and at home (all the time! Even the wife has growing tender feelings for Slackware! ).At work, my box is a HP dc5850 microtower (CPU AMD Athlon Dual Core 5200B with 4GiB RAM DDR2). It's a pretty decent work machine. At home, I built from parts an AMD Phenon II X4 965 with 8 GiB RAM DDR3 - it's an awesome machine!
In both computers I have recently installed Slackwarew64-current and have applied the multilib packages from AlienBob (great work, btw!).I'm a Java developer and have created a directoy under /opt for all the software I need for work (JDK, Apache Ant, Apache Tomcat, Apache Maven, etc). All settings are exported in /etc/profile, which is posted here.But, occasionally, I feel the whole system (on either machine) to respond very slowly, like there's some sort of process eating up all resources. Considering what I have "under the hood", that's quite annoying
I have bumped into a rather bizarre problem on a redhat system at work:I have mapped 10 LUNS to a server.The server has 2 HBAs, but the luns were mapped only to 1 HBA,and only one HBA is connected with a fibre cable.Every lun has only 1 path,the storage array management software (hitachi storage)confirms this.However, instead of 10 luns, I am seeing 40 luns!

I've never had this happen to me before on any Linux boxes and I'm totally stumped: at random times, seemingly not at all to do with the applications open or number of windows...X crashes. This happened once every 2 weeks or so a couple of months ago...now it seems to happen 2-3 times every 24 hours.
I do not remember installing nvidia drivers. But I may have. How can I check this?
And more importantly, what things can I do to get to the bottom of why this keeps happening? It's just X crashing -- the system is not bricked. I can ssh in from another machine. But X is locked up so tightly even the mouse doesn't move.
I have had lots of problems with dual boot. Hardly never making success with first boot. I have to try 3,4,5 even 6 times until reach the X. Some kernels make it better (hardly never succesful boot with first try). This 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686.PAE seems to be one of the worst.
Boot hangs on starting atd. Xorg.conf:
I have to use nvidia proprietary driver. With nv the screen will freezy quite soon.

I've upgraded(?) to TB3.1 from the Mozilla repo and instead of a single panel for the password, I get at least 3. The record so far is 6! Going back to 3.0.5 returns to a single panel. I need to stick with 3.1 as a parallel upgrade to Lightning 1.0b2 means 1.0b1 will not work. How to get back to a single password entry?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm facing some issues with mounting the cd and usb stick in Gnome: once the hotplug device is discovered Gnome displays multiple lot (5+) notification windows (i.e asking about the opening application) and also causing Dbus errors like: "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending".
Ubuntu just mounts once, no issues like mentioned above. This is standard 11.3 installation, where should I look for the cause?
i just installed 11.3 from live cd--after a recent update basically wiped my whole 11.2 setup into oblivion...i want to say that i like 11.3 better, however, i have not had a chance to even use it.......after installation, and then updating and adding repos, i tried to install a couple programs through yast. on the three occasions of trying, the computer crashed--screen goes blank, the CAP/NUM lock lights flash on and off...i tried to install adobe reader from their site two times, and the same thing happened twice--screen goes blank, the CAP/NUM lock lights flash on and off.i'm just beginning to get my computer back in order, after my 11.2 died.and since installing 11.3, i can even begin to begin!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am noticing really odd behaviour after upgrading from 8.10 to 9.10 (via 9.04). My server frequently becomes unreachable. I am using it as an application server, running Apache, JBoss and MySql. Once the server goes idle, all web connections time out. SSH also times out. Usually the server wakes up on second SSH attempt and then everything: Web, SSH etc seems to run fine.
This is a server machine with no GUI. Can anyone point me to power management or other such settings I can tune from commandline? I have disabled power management by adding kernel parameter acpi=off. I still have the problem. The first network connection after the machine has gone idle takes a long time. All later connections run pretty smoothly.
Why does barrybackup only work some of the times? I can charge my blackberry and run a backup of it some of the times but I can never figure it out. It either works or I get the error "(-110, No error): Timeout in usb_bulk_read. There is no rhyme or reason to when it does or does not work. It does not work more than it does work.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhenever I turn on my computer, asks, (after I enter my login password) for the password for my "default keyboard settings" (or something like that) 4 times and my WEP 128 (whatever that is) password. I just hit "cancel" or the little "x" in the corner, but it's a bit of a nuisance to do it each time I turn on my computer.
How do I get Ubuntu to stop asking me for my password for so many things?
Five days I've been using Ubuntu as 10.04 and was going great until yesterday. He began to restart, and go like 10 times and that worries me. I can damage something or whatever. __.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThere seems to be quite a craze about reducing the Ubuntu boot times to 10 seconds. I never really reached the 10 second mark.. for me it was more like 30 seconds from when I selected Ubuntu in GRUB to when I was prompted to type in the password in GDM. First of all, is this what is meant by boot time? Secondly, I know this already is quite a good 'boot' time, but just for the sake of tinkering around, is it possible to reduce the time that elapses between the GRUB menu and GDM?

Surely one must be able to report a bug for them...?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running 10.10 on an IBM Thinkpad R60 with 3GB RAM. I did a clean install of 9.10 and 10.04, and recently upgraded to 10.10. With all three, I'm noticing mething rather strange; after passing the PC's BIOS screen, I get a flashing cursor for about 20-30 seconds before Ubuntu starts booting. When I did the clean installs, I completely erased the hard drive, so I'm not sure what's causing it. The hard drive activity light is on when this happens, as well. It's very strange, as I have an old Dell Dimension 4550 with a slower hard drive and less RAM than the Thinkpad...yet it boots up faster, with no flashing cursor.
