That's the message I see briefly right before I am booted into Ubuntu Meerkat. It's right after the boot menu and the boot into Ubuntu begins and the screen is still black when that message appears.
I updated my laptop to 10.04 earlier today and it worked fine but it was being a bit glitchy so i rebooted my laptop and it worked fine until it showed an error saying "cannot reserve MMIO region".
I run a few programs that are very resource intensive, and although my computer has 4 cores, it keeps "freezing": it still works, I can see that my downloads keep on going, it's just too slow to show me a terminal screen so that I can kill whatever program got out of line.
It may be a bit complicated, but I suppose that there should be a way to do it: how can I keep some "cpu usage" from being used? I don't know, maybe reserve a core for management? Or throw the problematic programs in a "box" of limited processing power?
I'm sorry if this is a really dumb question, I'm a bit of a noob, but that would help me a lot. Of course, if someone has a better suggestion for my problem, I'd appreciate it very much.
In gparted I have the following stats for my /home drive
size: 824 gb used 75.51 gb unused 748.59 gb
Now when I view this in nautilus it shows something else: remaining free space as 709 gb. My question is what happened to the 40gbs? the 75.51gb are my files, but where did the 40gbs go to? Because 709 (total remaining) + 75 (my files) + 40 (mysteriously lost gbs) = 824gb. When I first made the partiton, it was a 824gb partition and ubuntu had automatically at that point reserved about 40gb for something. Does anyone know why Ubuntu reserved this space?
I have several environments in which I am using Thin Clients as terminal emulators to Red Hat servers. I have been deploying Thin Clients for the past few years to replace old WYSE dumb terminals. One problem I am having is that the dumb terminals were serial so they were on a specific tty port. The Thin Clients however connect on the first available pts port, I really don't have control over the port each Thin Client connects on, other then possibly making sure they are always started in a certain order, which isn't a feasible option. What I am wondering is if anyone knows a way to control which pts port a thin client connects on; I'm guessing it would have to be by hostname or IP, I just can't figure out how.
I'm trying to install plymouth on my Debian 8.2 Jessie (Stable), but when I boot my pc I get this error:
Code: Select alluvesafb: cannot reserve video memory at 0xdf000000
This is my configuration:
Code: Select allcat /etc/default/grub # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. # For full documentation of the options in this file, see: # info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'
I am somewhat familiar with SGE (Sun Grid Engine, now Oracle Grid Engine) commands but am having a problem when running parallel jobs.
Present Machine configuration: machine I - 12 cpus machine II - 12 cpus machine III - 12 cpus .... so on ... One_machine - 16 cpus
(I have all machine of 12 cpus and 1 machine having 16 cpus)
I want to schedule jobs on these machine such that if I ask for 12 cpus - my jobs should execute on any of the machines which has all 12 free cpus (eg machine I or machine II) in this case.
Eg. suppose I ask for 24 cpus
Option I : 12@machine1 12@machine2 ----- I need this
Options II : 10@machin1 10@machine2 4@machine3 ---- I don't need such a distribution
Hence, Option I is ideal here. Also, when running 12 jobs on machine1 (say) - even if all 12 cpus are not being used at some instance of time, none of the 12 cpus should be freed. In short, until my run finishes, all blocked cpus should remain blocked.
If you may understand, the purpose here is to run some performance tests.
I realized I can watch DVDs on my laptop. I tried the first DVD that I had tried it on, and it didn't work. I am thinking this may be something to do with region codes. First of all, how do I see which region code I am currently on? Secondly, how do I reset the region code? Is there any way to use multiple region codes at once?
I'm using a slack 13.37 version and this message is occuring during wine apps running:
preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00010000-00110000
Instead of being only a warning, I think it's breaking down and don't know exactly it's a wine or OS problem.
Googling point me a wine problem,
url
and another Ubuntu and Wine topics .

But I'm in a 32bits option ( no multilibs ), my wine, dependencies packages and procedures are the same installed before in 13.1 . Just system was changed! Anyone have any info on that sytem or wine problem?
I have this 17" Dell laptop, and the touchpad is huge. My family use it and when we're typing, we brush of this incredibly large touchpad and end up pumping characters into the middle of a prior paragraph.
They've reduced the size of the touchpad on the newer versions of this model, but I'm wondering is it possible to hack it somehow so the outer perimeter (say 1cm) is 'dead'?
Most configuration software available is of no use to me since I think it's not a synaptics mouse. (I don't have multitouch - that's why I think this)
This is really frustrating. Does anyone know how I can do this?
My laptop is having issues with DVD's. I can play region free DVD's (they were gifts), but I can't play any of my legit Region 1 DVD's? I downloaded the codecs from the software center but for whatever reason, They don't work, both Mplayer and Movie player just give me error messages when I load the disks. I know the disks are being read, their name pops up and everything, but I guess it just cant read the files.
I know I can use things like regionset and VLC to bypass region encoding (which I already do), I was really wondering if you can actually purchase a drive that is "region free" without having to apply hacks/ patches/ voodoo etc.I've done the "google thing" and all I come up with is hacks while using windows, I'd really like to get a drive that is completely region free.
When using Docky and clicking the window minimize button the windows will randomly minimize to the cursor and not to the dock icon. Pressing the dock icon will work as expected. I have read through the Docky bug reports and it seems it has something to do with Docky and compiz losing the window minimize region.
I have many DVDs that I purchased in Europe (Region 2) and I would like to copy them and change the region for easier reading here in North America (Region 1). In an ideal world, region 0 would be even better.k9copy works fine as far as copying, but the region is kept. I haven't found any setting in k9copy to change the region - is there one? If not, any other application that can do it?
I'm using Mac as a main machine and Ubuntu Netbook as a secondary. Although synergy gives me a good control over Netbook when it works without external monitor, but when I activate VGA monitor, I can only move around the limited region (details are below).
Phenomenon: Cursor can move in the external monitor's screen. No way to move cursor into the netbook's screen via synergy (it's possible from local touchpad/mouse) In the external monitor's screen, curosor moves only within limited region, which I'm guessing is as large as the size of netbook's screen.
Configuration: Use dual screens (uncheck "Same image in all monitors" in the tool "Monitor" on Ubuntu)
Is there a way to get DVD region code from command line (linux/ubuntu 9.10)? I want to script this action and store the region code (and other data about DVD) in a log.
I am looking for the info about media, not the drive.
I was looking for a method of allocating memories on Linux which similar VirtualAlloc on Windows.Requirements are:
1. Size of memories block to allocate is 2^16. 2. Address of memories block is larger than 0x0000ffff 3. Address of memories block must have last 16 bits are zero.
On Windows because lower limit of application address (lpMinimumApplicationAddress) we have (2) obvious right. From (1), (2) and system rules we also achieved (3).
i have a debian 5 vps system.. it reports the time as beeing one hour behind, i have tried to change this by setting the time to GMT+1 and setting the time to my local region (Europe-Brittian) using the tzselect command but none get the time to the correct time, one hour ahead of the current time.

I have some problems with CentOS 5.4 and standard kernel 2.6.32.7, which I need for realtime extensions.With the solution in this thread: [URL] I could boot the new standard kernel , There are still two error messages during the boot process:
I'm having trouble setting Java up on my virtual private server. It works fine when running under root, but if I run it under a normal user account I get this error message:
Quote:
Presumably the memory allowed to be used is being limited, but I can't figure out how to change it. I've tried adjusting the -Xmx argument, but the highest value at which it will work is 18MB, which is not enough.
This is the ulimit output for the root and user accounts respectively:
Code:
Code:
I suspect the problem is due to the virtual memory, but there doesn't appear to be any way to set the value in limits.conf. If I manually lower it to 200000kB under root I get the same error message.
I'm using Red Hat x86_64, kernel 2.6.18-028stab070.2.
Having trouble rebooting a system. Have a Ubuntu 9.10 (2.6.31-16 generic-pae) build on a VMWare installation. The system was fine until I rebooted after an update. Now I get the above message and the system halts loading. Have tried to Grub acpi=off and acpi=force to no avail.
System: F15-64bit, Intel Core i7 on Asus P6T mobo. I've upgraded to 2.6.40, and I'm regretting it!While 2.6.38 still works fine (apart from the usual random panics), 2.6.40 gives errors on boot, and reliably panics soon after login. Early in the boot I get the message "IOMMU: mapping reserved region failed" 8 times. Then boot appears to proceed as normal, at least once the nvidia blob is removed in favour of Nouveau (otherwise, forget it...).
After graphical login, the system freezes within a couple of minutes.After a text login, the system freezes within seconds with a panic, starting "BUG: Scheduling while atomic: swapper". A forum search for the IOMMU message leads to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Commo...IOMMU_handling but this talks about old 32-bit releases without BIOS virtualization support.
