I have an old laptop - samsung q25, it has only 256 mb of RAM and i want to install ubuntu 10.10 on it. System requirements says ubuntu needs minimum 256 mb, so looks like i fit in. But installation and even preview doesn't work.. Ubuntu starts, i can see the wallpaper, a cursor, but there's no panels or installation menus..Is it possible to install ubuntu in console mode?
View 4 Replieswe found that if we use 'top' to show the memory usage of a server (SuSe Linux 10), we can get virtual memory usage as well as 'Resident memory' usage. For virtual mem or a particular process, it is around 1.1GB, which is large but for resident memory, it only consumes 300MB. Are there anyone who knows what the differences are? I would also like to know whether the difference (1.1GB - 300MB) = 800MB are actually available for use by other applications in the system.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have tried to install F13 on an 8 GB USB memory stick (flash drive, thumb drive) but have had limited success. I used the Live USB Creator method as suggested in the Fedora web site and although I ended up with a bootable USB memory stick, I was unable to save any changes even though I allowed a 2GB persistent overlay.
I then tried to do it using Unetbootin and again got a bootable memory stick but again was unable to save any changes. Could someone explain what I might be doing wrong or is it just not possible to make a bootable memory stick with F12 that will save any changes?

However, using several tools (free -m; top; dmesg | grep Memory; grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo I discovered that I actually have 3Gb, not 4... But, my doubt comes from the fact that dmesg | grem Memory tells me I have 3103396k/4194304k available The first number is effectively 3Gb, but the second one, is 4! so, why I am looking at this two different numbers?

I am writing an application that wants to access periphals registers outside the standard (allowed) memory area.
Doing so gets me "segmentation fault".
I know, this is natural behaviour.
One way of getting around this is writing the module which has to be loaded by linux. I will consider this some time later.
For now, I want to come to some quick result and allow linux or gcc compiler to write to those memory areas of periphals. Is there a direct way to do so?
Is that possible that SHM shared memory is counted as cache memory on Linux with kernel 2.6.18?If find it really odd since this memory is not file backed, but I have a piece of code that loads data using shm_open+mmap, and it generates an amount of cache memory in /proc/meminfo that corresponds exactly to the amount of shared memory (I load that data from a file but I am using posix_fadvise(fd,0,0,POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) to ensure this file is not cached and I made sure that it is working as expected). As far as I know SHM memory was not tagged as cache memory with kernel 2.6.9.If it is the case it is really unfortunate since normally cache memory can be considered to be part of the "available" memory since it can be flushed promptly but this is clearly not the case with SHM memory... Is there an easy way to get the total amount of used SHM memory on a system?

View 5 Replies View RelatedToday I installed Lenny on a new server. The server didn't have any CD-Rom, so I tried putting the net install on a memory stick using unetbootin. The install went fine, but the problem was that the memory stick became sda and two SATA disks in the server became sdb and sdc.When I then tried to remove the stick, the SATA disks became sda and sdb, and it would not boot, because it had written the MBR on the stick.It hurried a little bit, so I had to take out a CD player from another computer, and connect it inside the server to get Lenny installed.But it would be cool if it was possible to install with the stick. And no more waste of CD-Rom players that will be used only once.

I have just upgraded to 10.04 and everything was working perfectly, until I upgraded my memory. I cannot boot from live USB / CD - these take me to the initial boot option menu, from which every option (except memory test) results in blinking cursor top left of screen, and cannot type.
Reinstalling my old memory sticks results in the system working fine. The new memory sticks pass memory tests (bios & ubuntu boot) with no errors whatsoever, and the boot sequence progresses fine until the point where the OS tries to boot. I am running AMD Athlon 64 3200+, Asus K8V Deluxe m/b. Memory that works is 2x 512mb PC3200 XMS. Memory that doesn't work is 3x 1gb PC2700 ECC. but please provide instructions on the basis that I know nothing, because I no practically very little about linux / ubuntu.
Today, I burned a copy of Lubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat and tried installing it on my old 2.4Ghz Celeron 192MB RAM (actually 256MB with 64MB dedicated by the BIOS for the internal video card) laptop, which installed Lubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx with absolutely no problems. However, when I tried inserting the disk for Maverick this time around, the live CD boot always hangs during Plymouth, and pressing Esc shows:
Code:

Now I'm no idiot, I'm well aware that my laptop is cutting it very close to the minimum RAM requirements of the live CD, but it's just the live CD that stops me from running Lubuntu, because once it's installed, I have no problems. I ran Lubuntu 10.04's Live CD with no problems and the installed LXDE system ran amazingly fast. I'm sure if I could just install Lubuntu 10.10, it would run at the same speed.
