OpenSUSE Install :: Disable Preload For Certain Files / Program?
Apr 18, 2010Is there a way to disable preload for a given process and/or a set of files? I'm having an issue with MLDonkey, which I configured to run as a service. Apparently, preload is trying to pre-load the temporary files lying under MLDonkey working directory (which are huge), and tis is causing a massive slowdown when booting

Software :: Preload Padsp For Only One Application?
Dec 30, 2008To prevent various problems in Wine, I'd like to use OSS through PulseAudio, via padsp. I've tried preloading it with this line in /etc/profile:
Code:
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpulsedsp.so${LD_PRELOAD:+:$LD_PRELOAD}
But that causes stuff to fail when KDE starts. What can I put in /etc/profile or .bashrc to preload padsp only for Wine? If nothing can do that, how else can I make Wine always use padsp without having to run it from a console every time?
Ubuntu :: Alter Config Files After Install From Custom Live Cd?
Apr 24, 2011I'm building my own ubuntu variant for low resource systems at the moment. It's based from the ubuntu 10.10 minimal install (12mb iso). It uses openbox as the window manager and SLiM as the login/display manager.
What I would like two know is how to have a few config files that are on the live cd to be altered for the installed system. Specifically, SLiM autologin, but I'll probably find other things to change aswell. Basically a sort of "first boot script".
General :: Make Custom 'locale' Files?
Jul 9, 2011Under Debian "Expert Installation" once I have chosen installation/system language and location, I get an informative notice, that:
Code:
There is no locale defined for the combination of language and country you have selected.
..and I need to choose one locale available for the selected language. As I understand, locale is just a set of environmental variables used by applications and printed out with locale command?
In addition, is it possible to generate own locale files after the installation, which will match my needs?
Debian :: Preload Take Long Time To Give Result?
Jan 8, 2010i got intel inside. when grabbing windows and moving them around they "streaked "(right word ?) over the monitor. Desktop-experience was simply "sluggish". I searched for all kind of info on this board. e.g.: installed preload, intel-microcode, set Xwrapperconfig to -1; -5, -10. tried some changes with swappines and cache_pressure in sysctl.conf. without knowing what it might be good for i ran prelink -a. For about a week it simply rocks: all is "sharp" and clean, including the move of windows. How come? does preload take such a long time ( a few months) to give such an amazing result? Is it related to graphics at all? I upgraded to ext4 bout 4 weeks ago (which takes a while too, from what i have read). intel-microcode doing magic? With the money i got chances are high that the pc`s i buy are intel-inside ones. and with a build-in graphics-card

Jul 13, 2011I have been able to successfully build a live Linux CD, the problem is during the course of setting up my new linux instance on my latop I had to install a few items (intel drivers). So got all the files and everything worked after manually installing, but wanted to try to rebuild the CD with all the files in the CD, rather than having to use a USB drive to put the file onto my laptop. When I made the changes to the configuration that I previously used(just edited the chroot file and did lh_build again) nothing happened the binary was no rebuilt. So some questions: If I am wanting to add files into a live CD build how do I do this? How do I rebuild a CD? or Is it possible? (i.e. I have to continually start from scratch each time).

OpenSUSE :: SUSE Studio Preload ISO Refuses To Install (most Of The Time)?
Jul 18, 2011Whenever I try to use a preload ISO from susestudio.com, it takes me about 5 tries to actually get it to install. I load it up in VirtualBox, and on the screen that warns "you are about to erase all data on /dev/sda, continue?", selecting "yes" will 80% of the time cause it to think you cancelled and waits 30 seconds before rebooting. Every now and then it decides to work, but sadly that's the exception and not the rule. If it makes any difference, the appliance I'm downloading is a custom one based on openSUSE 11.4 Minimal X with GNOME 3 installed on top of it.

May 10, 2011For a number of openSUSE releases now, on a periodic basis (monthly, it seems?) both my laptop and my desktop take forever to start. During this time, the hard disk activity is going berserk. When inspecting this with "iotop", a process called "preload" or "start_preload" is hammering the disk, sometimes up to 10 minutes.
The irony is when you research "preload", you find mostly articles like "drastically speed up your Linux system with preload"- I sometimes think it has to do with running VMs on these machines and maybe it's trying to cache those large disk images? Pure speculation, but I can't seem to find any documentation on this.
Anyway, I did finally find a way to turn this thing off. WARNING: since I do not know exactly what preload does and whether your machine becomes unusable if you turn it off, please only follow these instructions at your own risk. Since preload seems to be a very low-level system/service, I did not want to risk uninstalling it. What I did instead was:
Yast2 - System Services (RunLevel)
Click the Expert Mode radio button
Scroll down to the boot.startpreload entry
[code].....
Since I applied these steps, no long boot times with insane hard disk activity has occurred and I also have not noticed anything else complaining or not working with this service off.

Fedora Installation :: Erratic Install Results W/initrd - Custom Spins With Custom Drivers - Modules?
Dec 28, 2009Just spent three whole days barking up the wrong tree, solving Fedora 11 and Fedora 12 boot failures because the correct hypothesis was illogical: installation did not update/modify the initrd.
The first couple of times I installed Fedora 11 on the HighPoint Technologies RocketRaid 2640x4, the installation inserted my "custom" driver module (rr26xx) into the initrd, permanently, so that the system booted off the controller card for which the custom driver was inserted. (I yelled about this success in this thread: [url]
My most recent installs of BOTH F11 and F12 on the RocketRaid failed to properly set up the boot. It turns out that the "rr2640" module I "slipstreamed" into the installation process was *NOT* permanently added to the initrd by anaconda. (F12 gave me "no root device found boot has failed, sleeping forever", on boot; F11 hung also, without such error, I presume, during the init script execution). Because of limited resources and time, I only know for sure the module was missing from the F11 initrd, and am ASSUMING the same was the case with F12.
The only difference between the successful installs and the ones with failed boot is that the successful installs were made on a single-drive (JBOD) mode on the controller; whereas, the failed ones were placed on RAID 5. But, AFAIK, the created logical device for the card is "/dev/sda", in both cases, and the kernel can not distinguish between the two cases (or can it?). Thus, the inconsistency cost me a lot of time, and is still inexplicable to me.
Question: What is the best way to deal with custom drivers, today? There are custom spins, and many tools, like isomaster. Stupid question: Is there a way to modify the initrd inside an installer ISO -- be it for CD/DVD/USBboot drive -- beefing the init RAM disk with whatever modules you'd like, for the boot process (using, say, isomaster)?
And what makes anaconda understand that a module must be added to the initrd ? How can one force anaconda to do so?
How does moving to dracut as the initrd tool affect any/all of the above?
Ubuntu :: Add Custom Emblems In 9.10?
Jan 28, 2010I wanted to add some custom emblems so I could label my folders more effectively and after a little bit of work, I figured out how to do it and I thought I should share that info with the group. The first thing to note is that the emblems are stored in the folder /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/emblems. The first problem you are going to run into is that you don't have permission to add files to this folder. The way I got around this was by changing the owner of the folder to myself. I am using a computer for recording, so my user name is "band." Change that to your user name.
Code: sudo chown band "/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/emblems" After you do that, you can paste your icons (I would use the .png format) into the folder. Next, you have to resize your icons so they are 32x32. You can do this by right clicking on the image then Open With > Gimp Image Editor. When Gimp starts up, go to Image > Scale Image. Change the width to 32. If your image is square, it will automaticly change the hight to 32. If it isn't then you can either force it to be 32 by unchecking the chain icon between the width and height, or you can resize the layer so it fits within 32x32. Then File > Save. If it is not a .png file, I would use Save As and save it as a .png by replacing the current format (.jpg, ect.) to .png. The Gimp will automaticly change the settings so it save it to the right format. I know for some of you these steps were obvious, but I thought I should help people out who aren't too familiar with the terminal or with the Gimp.

Feb 9, 2010I'm purchasing a new laptop and considering the Dell XPS 14, customized.
Specifically, its customized to the sheet I've attached as PDF. The parts I'd assume are most important for Linux hardware compatibility, are:Processor: 2010 Intel CoreTM i5-430M 2.26GHz (2.53GHz Turbo Mode, 3M cache) Video Card: Intel HD Graphics. Wireless NIC: Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200
Does anyone have any warnings about any of this hardware? I'd like to make sure I'm not going to run into any more issues (as I have personally, in the past) with drivers being crappy because the manufacturer refuses to open up to the Kernel Dev. community.
if you're looking at the PDF, then obviously ignore all the software garbage that Dell throws in (eg. MS Windows 7, Adobe, McAfee).
Ubuntu :: Creating Custom Live Cd?
Mar 6, 2010I am in the tasks section of the following tutorial [URL] I did the list package thing to see what packages there are. However now I cannot leave the list in order to run the purge command. How can I get back to the previous section so I can remove packages from the custom live cd. I want to make sure I am editing the live cd and not the current install. I am going to make two images. One cd that will still have a gui but I plan to build as a recovery tool. The other one is a dvd and will be for installing everything I want on any machine. I am doing the tutorial with Karmic. Also I have cursors, themes and icons I installed from gnome look. I then went to customize and created my own personal mix I like. I would like to make this a standalone theme and come as the default theme on the live cd and dvd. I have no clue what I am doing, however wish to learn to build my own custom live cd. Also I would like to know how to ad repositories to the live cd and how to add programs pre installed that are not usually included.

Ubuntu :: 9.10 Custom Kernel V.2.6.33 Crash?
Apr 2, 2010I wasn't using my laptop for at least a few hours, but when I looked at it, it had seemed to crash. I am hoping to figure out what caused this, and to prevent it from happening again. I believe it has something to do with drm or b43 as that is what I could decipher from the screen. I have checked some logs and found nothing irregular. I do not want this to happen again. I am running kernel 2.6.33.1 with no patches and a custom config tailored to my processor. The reason I am running 2.6.33.1 is because of support for my Wifi.

May 9, 2010For a long time I've used a custom xsession that loads Mythtv without any sort of desktop environment. Every time I upgrade I've just backed up and restored my xsessions entry. I did the same when switching to 10.4 only to find that the custom xsession entry causes gdm to login WITHOUT a password.When I select the custom xsession in GDM I get logged in immediately without a password or confirmation. The expected behavior is that I'd select the xsession and not get logged in until after entering my password. I've done some trial and error with this issue and it seems that it boils down to a single line in the custom xsession file.
