View 3 RepliesI have Banshee's alarm plugin installed. From Banshee's menu, I click on Tools → Alarm Clock → Sleep Timer. The timer looks like it should be set according to 24-hour time, so I set it for 2 minutes past the current time and click "Okay". The timer doesn't turn off the music when the designated time comes and goes. Thinking that maybe it's a countdown timer, I just set the thing to 2 minutes, but 2 minutes later the music keeps playing on and on. I go Tools → Alarm Clock → Alarm and put a check mark in "Enable Alarm" and try the sleep timer again, but still it doesn't work. I'm running 10.04 64-bit.

When rebooting get this msg (in title). I used the live CD to get into the grub files to see if I could ad 'noacip' option. But was looking for 'menu lst' file and found none.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI may be wrong but I remember when I would go to restart my computer, a window would appear with a coundown clock starting at I think 60 seconds. I don't see this in Ubuntu 10.04. How can I get this back? Is there a setting in the Configuration editor or something similar?

But what I need to know is how do you set the timer so that if I don't press "Enter"...that it choses my preferred operating system in a certain period of time (seconds or minutes...etc) by itself?
How do I set the user inactivity timer to a different value in 10.04? It seems to be set by default to a very short time.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've recently started coding in bash and I'm making a diagnostic check CD for rackmounted computers to print out to an LCD screen. So far it works but what i want it to do is, when it checks what ethernet ports are unplugged, it stays there for 30 minutes or so and proceeds through the script. I've looked up cron and that seems to be useful for making timers on permanent systems but I just want the cd to boot, do the check and then eject it and let the real OS take over and I've also tried using:
while [ `sleep 30m` ];
do
<script>
with no luck. Is there any command I can use to do this? I've noticed a few examples where people have captured the time and then used a while less than/greater than statement but I'm not sure how to do this. Is it possible to do a concept like:
while [ %current time -lt %current time+30 min ];
do
<script>

I'm trying to understand how interrupts work. Is there a way to generate timer interrupts in C. Also can we enter into the protected mode of the CPU. Does OS (specifically, linux) place any restrictions on user programs entering protected mode. If it does not, do we just have an assembly language program which changed the mode, followed by the C code... I'm just trying to understand how things work at the lowest level. So I'm trying to write few snippets to test my understanding.

Of course I am able to display the date at the beginning and at the end of its execution, but I'd rather use some sort of timer function to measure in seconds its speed.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an app that will provide a large (full screen and clear) display countdown clock, basically so I can use my laptop in public to show how much time remains in a basketball quarter. I'm the official timer.If it counts up like in soccer rather than down, that's fine too. If the app can also show the score, that would be great, but it is not a requirement. We don't use a shot clock, so that is not required either.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI started seeing error log entries to this effect once we ported a Tomcat webapp, which connects to a remote database, from Tomcat 5 to Tomcat 6.0.26, but it seemed relatively harmless until now. The error we got at first was:

SEVERE: A web application appears to have started a TimerThread named [Timer-7] via the java.util.Timer API but has failed to stop it. To prevent a memory leak,the timer (and hence the associated thread) has been forcibly cancelled. A restart seemed to cure the server at that point. But now it has died silently: though the process itself was running, the service become unavailable. Entries like this were found in the logs:

My system: Ubuntu 2.6.31. Language C, compiler: gcc I am running dynamic timer as a kernel module and my issue is that the once the timer overflows, the program finishes. On the other hand i have forced to arm the timer again because of a while loop but the timer never is started again. i am targetting a periodic timer but it runs once and thats it.

I'm implementing a TCP protocol. TCP implementation requires to send packets continuously and if the receiver doesnt respond after a particular interval of time it should resend the packet again. I need some method to implement a timer expiry function. How can I implement it? Should i implement threads (If yes can you please give a sample)? or is there any better method? I'm implementing it in a Unix system.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe "MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC" error message shows up on boot on at least one of my RHEL servers, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. My understanding of the situation is that the timer is located elsewhere on the motherboard than where the kernel looks for it. Is this correct?
I've come across people suggestin one should disable APIC by adding "noapic" to the kernel boot options, but which consequences does this imply - in SNP setups only one CPU will be used by the kernel?
