I have this HQ mkv video file, when I play it with mplayer it plays bit slow with small freezes, mplayer gives an "YOUR COMPUTER IS TOO SLOW" error.
The problem is conky shows that it only uses %50 CPU and there a %40 more free which it doesn't uses.
Why does this happen? How can I make it use the other %50. How bad is the idea of running it as root?
I was trying to get the status of memory usage and disk usage using sigar in windows and ubuntu. done this in windows by just copying the sigar library into jdk library. But i was unable to do so in ubuntu. I've copied the library to java-6-sun library but still can't run the program.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm running into a problem where my system is running out of disk space on the root partition, but I can't figure out where the runaway usage is. I've had a stable system for a couple of years now, and it just ran out of space. I cleaned some files up to get the system workable again, but can't find the big usage area, and I'm getting conflicting results.For example, when I do a df it says I'm using 44GB out of 58 GB:
Code:
[root@Zion ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've come across a really strange issue with one of my RHEL servers. The "free" command shows that 7019 MB of memory are actually in use by my system, but when summing up the actual usage (or even virtual usage like the example below) it doesn't add up - the sum is far less than what is reported by "free":
Code:
[root@server1 ~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 12011 7946 4065 0 4 23
-/+ buffers/cache: 7919 4092

How do I find out the network usage ie the total amount of data is transferred in or out of my computer (openSUSE 11.2 and gnome) and keep a track of the total network usage?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running 10.10 on a netbook (1.6Ghz Atom N270, 2GB RAM). Because it has limited resources, I am currently testing to see which apps I want to use.
Which should take more priority -- an application that uses less RAM or an application that uses less CPU?
I recently installed Fedora 12 x64 on my laptop. Whenever I check "system monitor" the CPU usage is always 10% whether it is split between the two cores or done all on one. It keeps the CPU at 37degrees Celsius (body temp). I disabled crond from starting (I think it is similar to scheduled task in MS Windows), IP6Tables, sendmail, and smolt.
"System Monitor" tells me that only it itself is using 2%cpu but everything else is using 0%. If it makes any difference, I didn't install the ATI drivers because after installing the drivers, Fedora never gets past the boot screen. However, I read the instruction manual and it said that after installing you must run some configuration utility. I never did that so I will try that again on the weekend.
are there any way/method or program to keep cpu usage low? like only allow a certain program to use a certain amount of cpu usage (like 30%)
if so my laptop might stay cool all time (thought the waiting time will be up)
i need that method because i am not in hurry and dont want/need to burn my laptop.
I'd like to get cpu usage for my program which is related with xen hypervisor.
and i could find some.. from
/proc/stat
vmstat
system information on x-window
and virt-manager
but i found that every program shows different information of cpu usage.
I decided to upgrade my laptop from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04. Instead of using the upgrade feature, I backed up the important stuff and just did a clean install of 10.04. Issue 1: I was experiencing some performance issues with 10.04. I was getting 100% cpu usage reported by System Monitor. The 100% cpu usage, strangely enough, switched from CPU0 to CPU1, and back again sometimes. I don't know if there was a pattern to it. I also noticed video lag when using Super+E (or Window+E) to switch between desktops. This was running incredibly smooth on this laptop when I was using 9.10. I know it's just a minor issue, but the video in the laptop is more than powerful enough to handle it, and I'm worried about the performance having a bottleneck of some kind.
Issue 2: Trying to fix issue 1, I was googling around to find a solution. I found a thread on another site that suggested running a couple terminal commands to do something with Pulseaudio, I think. I wasn't familiar with the commands, as my Linux knowledge doesn't stray far from my generic list of fixes for things I've encountered. Here are the commands I ran:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
There may have been a couple other steps, however I cannot find the page anymore My sound still works, but I cannot control the volume with the icon in the system tray anymore. I had to download the Alsa Gui volume control to adjust the volume. My hopes for this thread: I would like to first know if anyone possibly understands what I may have done with Issue 2 (the sound issue)
And with Issue 1, have there been any reported performance bugs? 10.04 seems to run fine on my desktop, super smooth (including Window+E desktop switching). EDIT: I forgot to mention that the processes tab in System Monitor does not show any applications that are coming anywhere near the 100% cpu usage that the Resources tab is reporting.
Is this normal? I check system monitor and the top most is xorg followed by compiz. When I first started with 10.04 few days ago it was around 300-500MB.

View 1 Replies View RelatedEverytime CPU reaches around 85% of maximum it shuts down due to overheating. What I want to do is be able to throttle the cpu to 75% so it never goes above that. I don't want to just throttle individual programs which I think is what CPULimit does right? The fans are failing but I can't afford to get fixed. I just want to use it for email and web browsing usually.
I have cleaned dust out, use in a well ventilated room, use a cooling stand etc but still when CPU gets to approx 85% then whala it shuts itself down. Have been using with XP but just switched to Ubuntu and have only had it shut down once so far.
I am currently writing a JAVA script to monitor certain unix processes through JConsole. Upon having lots of trouble with runtime.exec, i decided to bypass the top/ps command call and just get the information straight from /proc/*pid*/whatever.Now i can pull back any information from any of the files I want, and the current way i determine the CPU usage of a process is as follows:Add the UTime and STime of that process from /proc/pid/stat then divide my pidCpu by UTime + STime + NTime from /proc/stat, then multiply that by 100, should give me the % cpu usage a process is using, right?Theory being if I get the jiffies assigned to my process, I can divide that by the total jiffies the cpu assigns.
However, my results seem to vary from the ones gathered from top and ps. What am I doing wrong?
If I, using sar or vmstat, found that there is a CPU load on my Linux box. How can I know the top processes consuming the CPU?

I am running Slackware 13.0. I am aware of free -m, vmstat, top, etc. However, none of these programs display how much ram each program is using. Is there a program that displays how much ram each program is using? I run a headless so I'd need a program that runs in CLI.
I know that top command shows %MEM (only two programs were using 0.1%MEM) but after running free -m I only have a total of 400 MB ram left out of my 1.5 GB of ram. Where is all that lost ram?
my linux bos red hat Ent 5.0 is reporting CPU usage 100% for the service/agent cimserver.basically is slows down my system and I have to kill it so my system is OK again.my question is Can I set the CPU usage for this service?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd been using Directadmin on my Debian 5.0 machine earlier . I had 1GB ram and a lot of memory was used up. Sometimes even the OS crashed as the programs couldn't allocate memory. I increased my RAM to 3GB but still the RAM usage sometimes just flow up to 1GB although normally DirectAdmin doesn't use more than 200MB . Restarting the server fixes the issue but then it climbs up again and comes down to a 200-400MB again by itself. Cached Memory was also being too much and sometimes even Swap Partition gets used up .Just to be sure that it's not the Bugged OS, today I installed the latest Debian 5.0.6 Net-inst on my machine . I allocated just 128MB of ram to it because it was just a testing machine. I installed it without the swap partition since I thought I will make a swap-file if it is required. I did not even update the OS rather I just installed Openssh-server and everything else was default as in Debian 5.0.6 . When server started, only 20MB ram was being used .
I just logged into my server afer about 5 hours and saw 112 MB ram being used out of which 91MB was cached. I haven't installed anything so why is this happening ?Why is this happening when I just installed the default Operating System and didn't even run an apt-get update on it.I think my previous operating system with Directadmin was also having similar issues.
