Software :: Microtik X Slackware - "bandwidth Control - Allows Shares To Clients Or Not"
Jun 16, 2010
There is a program called Mikrotik to control wireless installations based on Linux, I wonder if I can get the same result using the Slack as a server, if there is a tutorial for this? I would do in my wireless provider, "bandwidth control, allows shares to clients or not." I have an excellent tutorial for using Slack with the server, but is missing from clarify the two issues with quotes and if I can use the Slack not the Mikrotik?
I'm looking for a tool to control network bandwidth (per application i.e. totem), something like trickle (a userspace bandwidth shaper).Trickle is a bit outdated, latest ver. 1.0.6 (2003), and it won't compile under -current. There's a slackbuild available, dated 2004.
We have a sipmle office network set up that we also use use to connect to the internet, however of late the number of users has increased thus slowing internet access. Bandwidth upgrade is not an option thus i have to do bandwidth shaping on our linux router. The question is how do set the squid configs to allow certain IP's range a certain percentage bandwidtheg 60% and furthe divide the rest. Alternatively how can allow certain IPs to have higher bandwidth access.
how to Divide Equal Bandwidth between / Among Network Clients? e.g if there is total bandwidth = 10Mbps and only 5 clients are online then bandwidth should be divided evenly i.e each client to 2Mbps and if 20 clients are online then 0.5Mbps to each client automatically. [in windows this can be done by bandwidthcontroller software now how it can be done in linux]
Does squid automatically split bandwidth between connected clients? I'm wondering if someone was downloading a lot of data and someone else connected whether it would split the access 50:50 between them? I have 1 user that is using a lot of bandwidth but the server doesn't seem to split it up between all connected clients so others are receiving slow access. I don't have this client's IP address but I do have ncsa auth connected. Will delay_pools work with an ncsa username?
My home network consists of a file server with a RAID5 array of disks and various 'client' computers. Various parts of this RAID array are shared using NFS. The NFS server and clients all work fine for all shares. This computer consumes a lot of power so is only on when needed and the problem I'm struggling with is how to inform the clients that are running when the server starts so they can mount the NFS shares they're interested in? At the moment that the server runs a series of scripts on each client using a command like 'ssh someuser@client -X /home/someuser/bin/mountscript.sh'. This only works if someuser can ssh to client from server without a password (or permission is stored in .ssh/known_hosts), requires a fair bit of work when I add a new client, and is prone to break when I fiddle with things. Is there a more elegant system, maybe one that would allow the file server to broadcast a 'I'm here' message to all clients, or the entire network, on startup, and similarly an 'I'm going away' message when it shuts down again?
I'm have a project about control bandwidth base IP (ex : 192.168.1.2 have 128kbps limit download, 192.168.1.3 have 64 ....) How I can do that? Software MasterShaper is good idea? I want solve this problem base linux kernel command TC without any third party software.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and all was well on my home network until a household member decided to get a laptop and jump on my network. All he does is watch videos on ....., download crap from P2P sites, and maybe even watch p0rn. Is there something I can use to control this or maybe set my router to give him the minimum resources available? Also, I want to block him from downloading junk from P2P sites or places he might get a virus. I'm on a D-Link DGL 4500 Router.
I have had my thinkpad for just a few short months and, it must be that we are heading into summer, but I am starting to finally run into some overheating issues especially when compiling software for awhile, i.e. kernel.
My question would be, "Is it best to let the built in thermal management take care of the issue, and I just need to know what to tweak, or to put on a script solution such as the tp-fancontrol script?
The computer takes about 5-10 minutes to overheat and the message I get in /var/log/messages is "logger: ACPI group thermal_zone / action THM1 is not defined" then it shuts down.
So, any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
I am running slackware-current x86_64 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T500.
I'm looking for a simple way to monitor and log my internet bandwidth usage. Not total network device usage, just internet usage.Something that provides a simple chart of daily, monthly, and yearly usage, but ignoring all bandwidth on my internal LAN.I notice several possible tools, such as vnstat, ntop, iftop. Yet all of them seem focused on tracking the entire network interface. I want to ignore LAN usage. I do not really care about LAN bandwidth.iftop seems intended only for on-the-fly usage and not cumulative logging. I can't tell whether vnstat or ntop can be configured to log only internet usage rather than all traffic through the network device.
I do not want to log every connection like squid. The utility should only log stats on a daily basis, but also be able to display cumulative totals from those daily entries.I don't need DNS resolution, port monitoring, etc.I prefer something that runs in the background as a service or daemon, but can provide statistics quickly with a terminal window. All I want is to view total daily, monthly, and yearly internet usage. Perhaps even pipe the output to a local email each day too.
i wish to join twitter (not for socialising just info on what's coming in the linux an mountain bike world)i have been googling away and the ones i have found like pino and gtwitter but these either need the massive gnome libraries or have dependencies that i cannot find with sbopkg, so does anyone know of a twiiter client that has hardly any dependencies and a clean interface (no fancy crap like facebook (as said earlier i am kinda against social networks as they are more anti-social than social e.g. i'm going to stay in an talk to friend rather than actual human interaction)
I am searching for a way to broadcast a simple message from a server to the other machines (clients) on my local network every day at 22:30 (10:30pm) to warn users that the server will shutdown in 30 minutes (energy saving strategy). Basically, I was thinking to add a cron entry ion the server crontab to do so. before I go ahead with that, I tried several ways to accomplish this action. Then I tried simply "wall" and got a text promt to type in my message. At the end I pressed CTRL+D and got a popup displaying my message. So it worked but it was on the server's monitor. How can I send this message to a remote machine? Is wall the proper command to do so?
I also tried using paswordless ssh..It doesnt work. Basically I can login on the remote machine using passwordless ssh but when I issue either kdialog or xmessage, I get error "cannot connect to X server on diaplay 0:0" (or something similar).I tried also ssh 'wall 'message'' but it also says "cannot connect to X server on diaplay 0:0"So far I have several ways but nothing really works..There must be a real way to to that?All machines are Slackware 13.1 based.
I have done nothing with the system, but starting this morning, i experienced a strange condition on my desktop. I'm unable to open any applications at all. It will close instantly.
When i tried to run from terminal, it will give me an error like this:
Quote:
I checked using
Code:
And i got around 234 which is too much that it takes almost all of the open files allowed. Logging out to text and brings back X will solve the problem, but it's only a temporary solution until X opens more sockets again. I'm running -Current (32 bit)
It seems that there's a hackish solution in here: [url]. Dunno whether it's a nice solution or not, but i'm willing to try it.
I created a the class like this for shaping the packets with a specified bandwidth rate.....
tc qdisc del dev eth0 root tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 15 tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate 750kbit ceil 750kbit tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:3 htb rate 600kbit ceil 750kbit prio 0
For Our Requirement:-
I dont want to specify the bandwidth rate strictly like this rate750kbit ceil 750kbit,based on whatever speed is coming which should allocate the bandwidth rate for particular class...I need one application for finding the upcoming bandwidth & Is any other method is there for specify the bandwidth rate in a classes.
I can still play sound through other programs, but ncmpcpp and sonata both stay stuck on 'paused'.I can kill mpd, then restart it, and verbose logging indicates success, but restarting either client results in the same behavior.'rc.alsa restart' has no effect, and modprobe -r snd* results in 'fatal * module in use' despite that i have no sound applications running but sound still works fine in audacity and other programs.
How do I get samba shares to work in Dolphin without having to download the entire file before VLC loads it? I just want to watch a movie from my samba share, and it won't just stream the file.
I've tried installing Smb4k from slackbuild.org, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly either.
Dolphin will only open Samba shares if I open them by typing in smb://SERVER-IP. It also does not show up in the Network section of Explorer under Windows 7. How do I fix this? The only Samba share icon that shows up in Dolphin under Network --> Samba Shares is Workgroup. If I click it it changes smb://workgroup, but then it does nothing and shows no files. Here is my Samba server's smb.conf file.
I run opensuse 11 at work. I'm trying to see the list of shares on a "server" that is running windows server 2000. If I try smb://server, it doesn't show any shares, but I can browse directly to it such as smb://server/share1. If I use smbclient, it returns the list of shares correctly. I guess I just don't understand why smbclient shows the list of shared folders, but nautilus cannot.
I am working as a Linux administrator in a very small data centre with 5 servers with following routine tasks.
1. Managing SAMBA shares and giving user specific access for the shares. 2. Scheduling backup of some mount points with rsycn to store data in remote hard disk 3. User and group administration, with sudo access. 4. Creating and Managing Xen Virtual machines and giving access to other project teams. 5. Automating some tasks with Shell Scripting. 6. Managing FTP server for user uploads.
I have practiced a lot in my home laptop without RHEL training, Cleared RHCE and LPIC1. I want to do some advanced system admin tasks, but do not have option in my current data centre. With Above skills is it possible to get a job ?
I've installed 13.1 and the new GSB. I like it a lot (better than old versions), but the volume applet doesn't work.I did some reading and apparently this is due to a conflict between the GNOME people and the Pulse Audio people. So I was wondering if it was at all possible to use the xfce volume applet.
Newbie slackware user here, I'm having some issues getting keyboard volume control to work properly.I recently fixed my network adapter problem and I managed to get flash player installed despite my minimal knowledge of linux and slackware, but there's yet another small glitch that I can't fix.When I'm logged in as root, keyboard volume controls work perfectly, mute mutes the audio + increases the percentage, - decreases the percentage, etc.However, when I'm logged in as another user and I try to use keyboard volume controls, the bar will pop up in the middle of the screen, but it will be stuck at 0% no matter that I do. (Sound still plays though, it seems that volume is at 100% while the bar in the middle reads 0%).
I got a new computer and got it running Slackware64-current. It's motherboard is an ASUS M4A88TD-M and it's processor is an AMD Phenom II x4 965. I decided to get some chassis fans to improve it's thermal performance. But, since I started the computer after installing the new fan (only one of the 3 I got) the fan's speed is at max and it's very noisy. I'd like Slackware to control it's speed according to temperatures from lm-sensors. Output of # sensors-detect can be found here. Kernel is stock -current 2.6.33.4. Output of # lspci is here.
Code: gtl@coruscant:~$ sensors atk0110-acpi-0 Adapter: ACPI interface Vcore Voltage: +1.31 V (min = +0.85 V, max = +1.60 V) +3.3 Voltage: +3.34 V (min = +2.97 V, max = +3.63 V) +5 Voltage: +5.08 V (min = +4.50 V, max = +5.50 V) +12 Voltage: +12.03 V (min = +10.20 V, max = +13.80 V) CPU FAN Speed: 2170 RPM (min = 600 RPM) CHASSIS FAN Speed:3409 RPM (min = 600 RPM) CPU Temperature: +40.0C (high = +60.0C, crit = +95.0C) MB Temperature: +32.0C (high = +45.0C, crit = +75.0C) k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +0.0C (high = +70.0C, crit = +99.5C)
I started using DWM for my Window Manager really just for the hell of simplicity (I'm an obsessive minimalist) anyways... I can use seamonkey but I do like Firefox more but for some reason it does not load. If from a terminal I type firefox is just simply doesn't load, brings up no errors or anything.
Also, is there a way to control which windows take up what space???
I'm trying to get a Sans Digital raid set up for Slackware.It uses Highpoint Rocketraid control card. I downloaded and built the module for the driver and finally got it to work with an initrd.The raid is set up and mounts to /media/disk1. The drive seems to be working fine.The problem I'm having is I can't get the control software to work. Neither CLI or WebGui. Has anyone made this work with Slackware?
I am using Slackware 13.0 quite out of the box, normally I can change volume for every app using alsamixer. As my laptop is a little bit old working in X uses a lot of resources I have been searching for more and more console based apps. With good results until now.
I started using mp3blaster to listen to music. Great app and all. Only problem I have got is that I have difficulty controlling the volume for it. When in alsamixer I can mute the master channel an control Pcm in small increments so that I can speak about control. When using mp3blaster I have got no control whatsoever. Cant mute the vol channel nor can I control the Pcm2 channel in any way.
My questions are: How do I control the volume in mp3blaster? Why do I have Pcm2 instead of Pcm in mp3blaster? What other info would be needed for anyone to push me in the right direction to solve this problem?
I just finished installing Slackware64 13.37 on my Sony Vaio PCG-7153L, and I'm having issues controlling the LCD brightness of the laptop. It still has the stock Slack kernel 2.6.37.6 SMP The brightness controls worked on Fedora 12-14, as well as the Ubuntu 10.04 live disc. I checked /proc/acpi/, but there's nothing in there to control brightness. I reloaded the sony_laptop kernel module, and from dmesg I get:
Code:
sony-laptop: brightness ignored, must be controlled by ACPI video driver From the Ubuntu bug [URL] and the Red Hat bug [URL] it looks like they've already dealt with this problem. However, as I said earlier, my laptop worked fine with Fedora 12-14.I know Slackware does minimal fiddling with the kernel, so I'm thinking this might be an upstream kernel bug...
