Ubuntu :: 64-bit Not For Regualr Daily Usage?
Aug 26, 2010
I have a 64-bit computer and needed to download 10.04 again and now notice the following:64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage.This worries me so I would like to ask a couple of questions here if I may.
QUESTION ONE
What version, on a 64-bit machine, should I download for use every day and all day?
QUESTION TWO
If the answer to Question One is, "use the 32-bit version", and I have 8GB of memory, I can only use 3.4GB with 32-bit so would the other memory be available to use if I downloaded vbox and used a second operating system?

I am just in the process of setting up a new laptop which came with Windows 7 64 bit installed. I am going to set it up to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu. When I went to get the Ubuntu download I noticed that the 64 bit version is labelled with
Not recomended for daily desktop usageNot recomended for daily desktop usage
Why would this be? Why is 64 bit Ubuntu not recommended for daily desktop usage?

I am running on a laptop and cron.daily is set to run at 0625 So I wonder what happens if my machine is not turned on at that time.. At that rate it could also be off for the other periods as well (weekly, monthly) Is there solution that will allow them to run once they are online after the appointed time? using a cron entry that runs every 15 or 5 or 1 minute.

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.

I'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

I'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

So I'm getting a new laptop soon, and it ships with Windows 7 64-bit. So I assume I have to use 10.04 64-bit. I noticed that the download page says "not recommended for daily use". I was wondering why this is, and if there were any things I need to look out for when using Ubuntu and 64-bit. I read the older FAQ thread in the closed 64-bit forum, but I wanted to make sure I got more recent information.

I am running firefox-mozilla-build (3.6.3-0ubuntu1) on 8.04 32 bit (this is not the system listed in my sig or user information). In general it works very, very well. Every day Adept has me update xulrunner-1.9.
I can run apt-get autoremove, update, upgrade with no errors. I see others on this forum have this error, but I can find no solutions posted for it. I used to run Namoroka 3.6.2pre from launchpad and had the same problem. Nothing could uninstall it except Synaptic "Completely remove". I removed all firefoxes and xulrunner at that time and then reinstalled 3.6.3 which works great. I hoped that would fix the xulrunner issue but no dice. While running 3.6.2pre I had the same issue.

It's my personal computer, no other users, no one else in the house. I'm behind a separate stand alone firewall (Checkpoint device). I'm the admin on my machine and I'm going to enter sudo, or login as root, every time I need it anyway.
There's no way that having to switch to root is going to make me stop and think about what I'm getting ready to do. In fact it's quite the opposite. If I'm in the midst of troubleshooting, I'm preparing to enter a command that I think is going to work, and I get "Permission denied"... The aggravation is more likely to reduce my logical thinking, and I'll immediately switch to root and type it anyway.
I DO understand the rational of setting users (even admin users) to a lower permission level. However I don't understand the lack of a command to make a user PERMANENTLY root equivilent. Switching back and forth is a waste of time. AND it means that I now have to deal with two home directories... /root and /home/user. Having to type sudo, or su to switch to root, does not protect my system. It only aggravates.

I'm with Ubuntu server 10.10. I created a script and put it in /etc/cron.daily. But looks it doesn't run (it didn't generate any log). The following is all I did.
Code:
root@chonseng1:/var/log# cat /etc/crontab
# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab' command to install the new version when you edit this file and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields, that none of the other crontabs do.
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
# m h dom mon dow user command
17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )

my wife's desktop has been freezing almost daily, leading to a reboot. It's an HP Pavilion (specs here) and it has Ubuntu 11.04 installed since soon after 11.04 came out. There doesn't seem to be really any rhyme or reason to the crashes, except that it might happen more often when she's web browsing with Firefox. I tried looking at /var/log/syslog, but to be honest I wasn't really sure what I was looking for. I did notice that syslog would stop recording at the same time the mouse and keyword freeze. Has any one seen this problem or be able to give me some advice on how to find out what's going on?

I was just wondering if there is a way (and seeing as how this is Linux we are talking about here, there probably is...) to make a fully functional webcam-server on Ubuntu 10.04.2 save images daily, or weekly? I have a perfectly installed webcam-server running on my website that you just refresh, and it gives you a current image, but I was wanting to have a daily type of archive thing with it, just because.

I'm having a very strange issue with cron on centos 5.3 64-bit. I have 3 cron scripts in /etc/cron.daily which run backups. They are as follows:
script1:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/backup-script1
script2:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/backup-script2
script3:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/backup-script3
The contents of the 3 /usr/local/bin scripts are ...
/usr/local/bin/backup-script1:
#!/bin/bash
synbak -s srv1 -m rsync
rsync -av --delete /data/backup/srv1/* root@::share/srv1/
To explain this, the 1st active line does a synbak backup and the 2nd active line rsyncs the backup data to a remote server.
/usr/local/bin/backup-script2:
#!/bin/bash
synbak -s srv2 -m rsync
rsync -av --delete /data/backup/srv2/* root@::share/srv2/

I have a Dell Studio 1537 Laptop with what lspci calls an "ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400" graphics card. Today I downloaded a daily image of Lucid, threw it on a USB drive, and booted it up. As I go to install the restricted driver for my graphics card, I notice that clicking on a panel item triggers the star burst effect. Come to find out that I can set desktop effects to "extra" and get smooth wobbly windows and everything.
Why are desktop effects working? I've always had to install FGLRX before, did the open source driver somehow get 3D support? Am I missing something? I almost feel like Compiz is performing better-- smoother, less tearing, etc.

I installed Chromium Browser and made it default. The version which is available through squeeze and wheezy main is a dinosaur, and as such I cannot install any Chrome addons. I tried ubuntu or launchpad ppa for Chromium-Daily. I added [URL] maverick main to my Third party Repositories. Its not working.
The terminal returns an error:
W: GPG error: [URL] maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5A9BF3BB4E5E17B5
