Just put an old desktop to work by installing Puppy on it. I have another HDD that I think didn't work very good, so I'm gonna plug it in and test, but I don't know what to use to stress it.
View 1 RepliesAfter turning off the overclocking (When I actually turned it off, I realized it didn't really make a noticeable difference) of my CPU and lowering the fans of my PC, I would like to stress test the GPU/CPU, and obviously also check the temps while doing so. The fans on my PC were previously so loud you couldn't even have a conversation on the phone while in the same room as the computer, and I just now realized how much I can actually lower them... But I don't want to lower them too much, obviously.
So, anyway, because of these reasons I would like to stress test my CPU/GPU while monitoring the temperatures. I'd need software for doing so, Linux or Windows doesn't really matter, I have both. Also, I need to know what minimum/maximum temperatures that are okay.
Does anyone know where I can find a PowerPC CPU stress test? I have came across many Linux CPU stress test but none of them seem to support PowerPC.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am new to Linux and I am trying to install puppy on an old IBM thinkpad 600X (10gb hd, 196mb ram) When installing puppy from a cd, it loads up and does the kernel stuff before "Searching for Puppy files in computer disk drives" - this takes about 10 minutes before saying "pup_421.sfs not found. Dropping out to initial ramdisk console" then it goes to "/bin/sh can't access tty; jon control turned off". then it stays like that and doesn't continue.
View 8 Replies View RelatedThis is a general hardware question, but I trust the Linux community to be more clueful than those *other* OS users. I just picked up a new external hard drive. Back in the 8-bit era of the 1980's, there was a general consensus, that may have been an urban legend, that if a piece of hardware were faulty and was going to fail, then it would fail within the first $NUMBER hours of use, now $NUMBER varied from 100 to 500, depending who you talked to.
While the above *seems* to make sense, does it, indeed, make sense? Be that as it may, given that I do subject the new hard drive to big buckets of read/writes and it does not fail, does anyone have any opinion on whether this is any sort of a guarantee that the new hard drive is less likely to be faulty and that I can feel more secure of its ability to not melt into a pile of slag on my desk?
I need to a software can test my apache server under high traffic.for example can simulate 1000 user request to my server and give me good statistic. I have found this product, but that is not free If any one know such as this program I will happy for inform that.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed Puppy Linux on a "second-hand" machine, and I'm trying to get gcc installed so that I can (hopefully) compile some wireless drivers for the USB adapter I'm trying to make work.
I've tried everything I can think of, including following the instructions on the Puppy website. When I click the devx_430.sfs file, it simply fails to mount ("Failed mounting or unmounting."). So I tried getting the gcc and make packages (+dependencies) from the Ubuntu repos, and install those (Puppy has an "undeb" utility). There are actually supposedly two ways of doing that: one is to click on the file in ROX-Filer, and that opens a confirmation dialog to install, so I tried that first (with all the .debs). That seemed to report a successful installation for each package (confirmation dialogs popped up to report installation success), but when I tried typing "gcc" in the terminal, it still couldn't find it ("bash: gcc: command not found").
So then I tried the second way: using "undeb" in the terminal. That again was supposedly successful (no errors), but still "bash: gcc: command not found" and "/usr/bin/gcc: No such file or directory".
So then I tried "file /usr/bin/gcc" and it gives this:
Code:
/usr/bin/gcc: broken symbolic link to 'gcc-4.3'
And of course, as expected, "find / -name "gcc-4.3" finds nothing.
Where are these files being extracted to, if at all? And I can't just use the package manager, because I don't have internet (this is how I'm trying to get internet). Am I totally screwed?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm going to be installing Vinux which is Linux for the Visually Impaired, based on Ubuntu, onto most any computers I can get my hands on to give to the VI community around my area. I'd like to know what would be a good method to stress test each computer to ensure that each one will operate at an adequate speed without freeze-ups. Sorry, I can't be specific about the computers. I'll be taking whatever gets donated from the public and from businesses, desktops and laptops, whatever comes my way. I don't want to send out any headaches to anyone by giving them a dog-tired slow or a freezing computer that won't even operate.

But in params for tester above 32M system refuses to allocate memory in spite of there are about 250M free.It's because it too defragmented so i cannot run such tester. In future actually will be tasks with big linear memory queries, so is it possible to defrag RAM after every system loading?For this moment can you also point out for me other testers weith big memory queries but without linear manner?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been assigned a project in which I have to test File System stress testing using "Fsstress" tool. I have to do this for a local file server. I don't have any idea as how to and what to install FSSTRESS on the Linux machine. I searched an rpm package and installed it on File server however, I don't have any idea about the commands and working of the FSSTRESS. My task would be successful if I can just run few stress testing test cases using FSSTRESS and come up with test results.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am comparing distros of Linux on a computer with VERY low specs. I have a CLI only version of Ubuntu 9.10 running A-OK, but when I run lwm or just X the video flickers (which I believe is due not to the video card/driver but to the resources used). I have tried this with two video cards with the same result.
When I run puppy it flies with no setup.
I know that Puppy is designed for older systems (2.4 Kernel and all that), but is there any other reason why Ubuntu would be slow in comparison.
I am using the nv driver with a Riva TNT PCI Video card.
Ok, this is not a matter of life or death for me. I am just an experimental geek. I had a three partition HD originally, one blank, one with my home directory and one empty one. Then, I used unetbootin and put puppy on my empty partition. Now, puppy works, but I wantt a way to switch. I can reinstall, I just want a way of having several linux OS's on a hard drive.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have disks of Lucid Puppy 5.11 and MacPup 5.11. Both disks run very well on my laptop, an old 2001 model Sony Vaio which is already booting Ubuntu 10.04 UNE.
But neither finishes loading on my HP Pavilion a1020n desktop, which is running Windoze XP Home. They both bog down on looking for optical drives... interesting as I am loading them from CD and it reads the optical drives fine up to that point.
It's sad that a quick-loading portable Linux won't load at all on my newer, faster machine.
Maybe it's because the laptop has GRUB already? My HP chokes every time I try to modify the boot sector, lots of "wonderful" security features to keep Windoze from "getting corrupted".

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm fairly new to linux, I can't get puppy to connect to ANY wireless network, protected or not. The driver autodetected my wireless card (IBM high rate wireless LAN with modem II) as an Intersil Prism 2.5 chipset, but it will not work. I wonder if the driver is corrupted, or if I should just use ndiswrapper with the windows drivers. Obviously, I would prefer to use native linux drivers, but the wrapper will not tax the system too much if I use that option. I have heard that these laptops are very linux friendly, and I ran xubuntu on it for quite some time with no big problems. My home router is a Belkin F6D4230-4 V3. This thing will not show up at all, but my family's old linksys will, I can't connect to it either.
