Slackware :: Using 4GB Ram On A 32bit?
Sep 17, 2010
My pc has 4GB ram and I want it to use it entirely. With Slackware's 2.6.33.4-huge-smp kernel my system is only able to access 3287MB. So I built a new one (2.6.35.4) and used the Slackware's 2.6.33.4-huge-smp config as template. I kept High Memory Support with 4GB because I only have 4. Now I found out that I have to set High Memory Support to 64GB to activate PAE.
What's the sense about it? Should I really use this option? Although I only have 4GB memory I don't see disadvantages.

I found the source, but it's missing a few header files.I tried downloading a few but it wasn't working correctly.I'd rather install this package properly.

i upgraded my netbook to slack-current (32bit) and now When booting up dmesg shows these errors:
Code:
[ 10.770199] [drm] detected 63M stolen memory, trimming to 32M
[ 10.770267] i915 0000:00:02.0: irq 43 for MSI/MSI-X
[ 10.770280] [drm] set up 32M of stolen space
[ 10.770468] [drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring head not reset to zero ctl 00000000 head 02001000 tail 00000000 start 02001000
[Code]....
This happened with generic stock kernel and is also happening with 2.6.36.2 zen kernel. Is it something serious? Kde compositing still works, except it locked up few times when i was testing how windows wobble in kde, but not recently.

I am trying to get PHP 5.3.4 into my webserver, running Slack 13.1 on a 32bit system. Basically, it's a success, but no matter what options I try, phar will not be installed
Code:
Generating phar.php
Generating phar.phar
PEAR package PHP_Archive not installed: generated phar will require PHP's phar extension be enabled.
clicommand.inc
directorygraphiterator.inc

I've done some investigating on the threads, but none of the normal fixes for this permission problem work. I've added myself to the scanner and lp groups. I've also added the right device code to the epson configuration file under /etc/sane.d/ . Scanner is recognized and works under root.
When I "scanimage >somefile" in the console I get a permission error when I'm a regular user; when I do the same under root, it works. Likewise, my graphical scan frontends report that they cannot find the scanner when I am a regular user. I see alien bob had an old workaround at [url] but I don't think 13.1 has hotplug set up the same way anymore.

Looking for moral support and guidance. Currently have 13.1 running nicely with the following partitions:
/swap
/
/home
/var
/usr/local
/notlinux (my name for a storage partition when I want to start all over again)
I have decided to tinker with Slack64-current with multilibs. My intent is to shrink /notlinux an add a new partition for 64's / . Then dual boot the system.
/swap and /usr/local
I see no problem with mounting these partitions in Slack64. I would have two 'tgz' directories [ tgz & tgz64 ] in /usr/local where I would seperate SBo packages (for my benefit). Don't know what having separate /tmp directories would have on sbopkg but that's not a material issue. confirm I can share these partitions.
/home
99 & 44/100 % sure if I changed/added my name from 'dad' to 'dad64' it would not be a problem sharing the /home directory. But what about keeping the same name/uid#, would things get fubared when I jump back and forth between 13.1 and current-64. Comments?
/var
Think I might be getting into trouble here. Suspect pkgtool, installpkg, upgradepkg ... would all continue to work because /var/log/packages would actually have different names [_64] for the 'same' package. At a minimum I want to share the mysql database so might have to create this as its own partition. Other than it would be a mess reading log file would sharing this directory be a major issue.

I am trying to get TightVNC to work on my laptop running slackware 13.1 32Bit but I am having a problem. Basically, tightvnc starts correctly, but when I login with the vncviewer from a remote machine, I see this error message on the virtual desktop:
Code:
Unable to contact settings server. Did not receive a reply.Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. Then I click "Close" and another error message appears:

I have a couple of questions re Ubuntu 11.04, Firstly; how can I find out which system this is, I used Wubi to load it and I think it's 64bit, which is great but I'd like to be sure. Does 32bit and 64 bit both recognize 8Gb ram Is there a site where I can send the developers a thank you and a congratulations for doing such a brilliant job of this OS, it's running perfectly.

I have just installed a fresh copy of ubuntu 11.04 32 bit and I was surprised to see that the OS can see my 8GB of RAM not like Windows 32 bit OS.
How does it work? How is the address mapping performed? Is it efficient? Why doesn't it work with Windows systems?

I have downloaded the 64bit version of Ubuntu 10.04. I am currently using 8.10 32bit and I want to clean install 10.04 64bit version. However the one thing that is putting me off is that I have heard if your PC has 1GB of RAM or less then 64bit won't run very good because it uses more RAM than 32bit. (my PC has 1GB) So the question is: Does 64bit use more RAM than 32bit?

I've made a fresh install with the alternate cd, because for same strange reason I was unable to boot into the live CD.
After the instalation, I have rebooted the PC and under the log in screen of ubuntu 10.04, was a path or line of text describing an error (can't remember the type of error.)
Then the line disappeared, and i was able to log in normally.
Everything looked fine, after some testing and tweaking of the new system, I tried to reboot (to test). I choose ubuntu 10.04 in grub manager, and then there was just a sea of code on a black screen.
The previous release of ubuntu worked well on my PC

every time I exit OA, the game will hang as soon as I tell it to quit (includes typing quit in console)I ran from terminal to see what the last entry was before killing the process and it's always: Closing SDL audio device...I get this problem on Urban Terror most of the time, and I get it on Nexuiz rarely.
Also, sometimes when I boot the game up I get about 5-10 seconds of very poor quality audio and then the audio just cuts out. Can't see anything in the terminal however that looks like an error regarding this.

I currently have Ubuntu running in 32 bit with pae but I now want to switch to 64 bit. all of my hardware supports it. Is there an easer way to switch without needing to install Ubuntu all over again? It's such a haste to copy all of my files and reinstall programs and there settings manually.
