I want to view live utilization of Internet usage like the wetool in smoothwall. This admin can view www and any other protocol Internet usage by end user
First, the official download page is 32k download. I've NEVER had that slow of a speed before. I've downloaded and used Ubuntu since Drake. The only desktop iso for AMD64 is 698k (Official download).
I've downloaded that image for AMD64 10.04 from two download locations and burned the CD. When I boot, I only get the install option in a non-graphical environment. No LiveCD button.
I have upgraded my Kubuntu Lucid AMD64 desktop with KDE 4.5 using the kubuntu ppa backports. I am impressed with the overall visual and performance improvements. However I am facing the following issues after upgradation -
1. When I execute any application as root user (using kdesudo <app name>) they load with a primitive GUI. I have attached a copy of the dolphin application loaded as root user (kdesudo dolphin). Not sure how to restore the latest GUI for them. I tried running systemsettings as root user and tried to customize the theme little bit. But not much has changed
2. One new short cut for ExpoBlending has comeup in section Graphics. I am unable to execute it, since it has multiple missing dependencies, neither able to uninstall it.
3. I installed kpart-webkit and configured it using keditfiletype utility. Now while browsing certain websites such as facebook(after loading farmville application in facebook), I can see few dummy popup windows. Attached file contains one such screenshot.
I can't manage to install Packet Tracer 5 on Lucid 10.04 amd64. I've tried both the binary and the tar.gz with the help provided on the old amd64 forum but it's still tell me that the the package architecture (i386) does not match the system (amd64). Do someone have any idea other than switching to the 32-bits version?
This thread describes how to build a 2.6.34 kernel with load-balancing to cut down the number of load balancing wakeups. Running powertop on my amd64 PC shows that this kernel cuts down the number of wakeups by around 30%.
1. Open a gnome-terminal and get root privileges:
Code:
sudo -s
2. Install required packages for building the kernel:
I can connect to the internet on Win7 without issue. Boot to Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 & it works sometimes & sometimes it doesn't.
I've attached 4 screen photos; 2 when internet is working (Working ifcomfig & Working route -n) & 2 when internet is NOT-working (NonWorking ifcomfig & NonWorking route -n).
The 1st I notice when looking @ working ifconfig is line 3 under eth0, inet addr:192.168.1.5 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0, is missing on NonWorking ifconfig.
I'm trying to find a good host for my site, and I've been trying to get one with a fast, reliable connection - I frequently use it as a proxy server for various areas, and since my connection is frequently a 50 Mb or 100 Mb line, I need a fast network connection so it doesn't slow down too much when I switch to the proxy server.
At the moment, I've narrowed it down to a couple of providers that are all within a few hops and <6ms away from my main location; it pretty much comes down to connection speed. One in particular that I'm trialing offers an metered 100100 connection at a good price, so I'm hoping to go with them, but I want to make sure the connection is solid and doesn't drop to a much lower speed during the day if they are sharing it among many users.
I have a pretty simple speed test procedure - I use wget on a 1GB file hosted on a backbone with a 1GB connection, and see how fast it downloads. For now, it's sticking at a steady 11.2 MBs or 90 Mbs, which is fast enough for me, but I need to make sure it can maintain that speed even in times of heavy usage.
[/BACKSTORY]
Basically, I need a script that runs wget every half hour and logs the output and time in a reasonably readable format. It's probably something simple enough to do, but I'm just learning my way around the linux command shell, so some simple instructions on how to create and run such a script would be great [CentOS 5]. I have full root access to the server and I'm the only user on it if it matters.
Canon MX320, MX330, MX860 printer installation on Kubuntu Lucid 10.04 AMD64 bit. I am sure Ubuntu Lucid is similar. Once I upgraded to Lucid 10.04 AMD64 bit I found that getting a Canon Pixma MX printer installed was not going to be easy. So I thought it help others if I posted my experience here. To pull this off you will need both the Debian package, (.deb), and the source package from either
Canon Europe: [URL]... Or Canon Australia: [URL]... NOTE: The only reason to get the source is to access the ppd files. They are in the Debian package but it is a lot more work to walk newbies through unpacking the .deb. Since there are errors in the source code it makes impossible to compile a driver. Therefore, you will need to install the 32bit Debian package and force the architecture, then add the correct printer driver from the ppd file in the source package. While these instructions worked for me there are a few assumption I make which mat affect your outcome. My MX860 has a wireless network connection.
In other words I have no idea if this will or will not work on a USB attached printer. (If someone would be kind enough to post back if they get that configuration working that would be cool.) The other assumption is that the general reader is relatively new to Lunix and the command line interface. The commands were cut and pasted from my working kconsole, so they should work for anyone.Here we go:........
In one of our network we are using one firewall which works as gateway. All machines are able to access internet through this gateway. There is no filtering and any internet restriction. I would like to setup monitoring system which monitor and log bandwidth and sites access by client machine. Is there any tool which monitor internet access as well as sites which are access from client machines.
I installed 11.3amd64 as a VM under Vista/VMWare Player - all worked fine. I have now installed it as a physical system. It nstalled cleanly BUT during first boot it could not access the repos. With each repo it gave the message
- download (curl) error for (repo) - error code connection failed - error message could not resolve host (repo)
This was followed by a message box containing
- UI syntax error - no widget with ID 'contents
Firefox could not access the internet (cannot find server) until I disabled IPV6 (I used about:config), now it works fine. I think the repos problem is because of IPV6 - I usually have trouble with IPV6. I tried disabling IPV6 with the following (How To Disable ipv6 on SuSE Linux | Linux Poison)
Just got Lucid and tried it off the cd before installation. The os sees the net OK, it downloaded updates without a problem, but firefox cannot see the net. Obviously I'm not going to install it until this works!I haven't found anyone else with the same problem in the forums, but the same problem exists on both my two different pcs.Under Karmic firefox works fine, but Opera 9.* had this problem, it could not see the internet no matter what I tried so I gave up trying to use it. Eventually Opera 10 came out and this worked fine. I'd prefer not to have to wait until mozilla fixes what ever this problem is in firefox 3.7, 4.0 or whenever!
Tried to search for this but must not be using the right terminology. Anyway, last week did a clean install of Lucid in a triple boot alongside Hardy & XP. Loving everything about Lucid--boot times, user-friendliness, tweak ability, &c. But I fired it up this morning and no internet. Where to start looking?
I have been using lucid ubuntu 64 bit on this pc for months with no problem till yesterday. I noticed yesterday that eth0 was no longer being set up on boot and so internet is not there now. I am currently on the internet using karmic ubuntu.
I'm thinking an update with aptitude? What can I do in lucid to get my networking working? I tried booting into recovery mode and repairing packages but my pc could not get on the net to check the packages.
I have been looking for a solution to an apparently simple problem, but could not find anything for Lucid. All solution I found imply modifying files that apparently don't exist anymore (/etc/default/bluetooth, /etc/bluetooth/hid.conf, ...)I have an old laptop running Xubuntu (lucid). Internet card is dead but it has a bluetooth adapter in the USB port. I also have another laptop with internet, wireless, and bluetooth on board. How can I configure both so that the first access the internet trough the second?
- Internet works on the second (of course!)
- Bluetooth work on both, I can pair them and send file from one to the other (although I cannot browse them, but it seems to be an unrelated problem)
- I have blueman on both and tried to configure it to do what I want but it did not work (old computer has a bnep0 interface, but no address for it)
- Old laptop sees "Network access point" and "group network" as bluetooth services of new laptop (although I did uncheck "group network" in the local services setting on new laptop)
- as I said I looked on the web but only found solutions that appear to be designed for older versions of Ubuntu because they refer to non existing files on my two laptops.
I seem to have a problem connecting to the internet with Ubuntu after dual-booting my new laptop with 10.04. I have a DW1501 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card in my new laptop, and I'm not sure what to do to fix this. The other computers I have running Ubuntu are much older and had everything run correctly right after the install.
I have a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and about 40 ThinClients running LSTP in a school's computer lab. Everytime the users start to use applications, the server's memory utilization increases, while the swap memory is quite free. I have 12GB of memory on that server.
How to get cpu utilization of particular process without using top command. I want programmatically C or C++.Top command source is large.I can't analyze where %cpu usage got.
language:cOs: ubuntuI have googled for a c program to get cpu utilization factor from 2 days.We can get it through "top", "who" commands..But I hav not found any API or a program.
I installed lucid netbook edition on my friends netbook and I am unable to connect to their wireless. The netbook is dual booting with xp and while in xp it is able to connect but once i boot into lucid it is unable to.
I have a SSH access to some linux servers, is it possible that I can get some graphical report for system utilization (CPU, memory and disk space) for a given time range.
I dont have any graphical access to the system.
Currently I am fetching the records using "sar -r" command , pasting them in a excel sheet to generate the reports.
Is there any command to get the memory utilization of a particular process in Linux?I tried with Top and /proc/pid/status commands but the results are not proper, the memory keeps on increasing.Can anyone tell other than Top and /proc/pid/status commands ?
I have a storage array and one of the logical volumes stays at 100% utilization whenever any process accesses the volume. It is a 9TB RAID 5 array on it's own SCSI interface card. I have another 9TB logical volume in the same chassis, on it's own card that does NOT exhibit the same behavior.
I'm measuring the utilization using atop. The strange thing is it pegs out at 100% utilization for the entire time a process accesses the volume, even when the data being accessed is just a few kb. My users home directories reside on this volume so as you can imagine every user is impacted whenever someone accesses any file from this volume.
The only processes being shown in atop are nfsd processes and xfslogd process. Nothing has been deliberately changed on this system. The only thing out of the ordinary that changed is a user deleted several TB from his home directory a week or so ago, just about the same time this problem came up. During the troubleshooting process, tis system has been rebooted several times.
I am getting a strange problem with my new machine (P4 3Ghz, 1 GB RAM DDR333). The machine is an industrial PC. Firstly I had installed Fedora Core 2 on it. It ran superbly without any problem. I tried to load Redhat Enterprise Linux WS4 (Update 2 as well as Update 5) on it. But the PC was giving high CPU utilization for each and every task. With-out any application running both the cores shows utilization around 10 %. But when i try to my application, the CPU utilization in one of the cores goes to 100 % for majority of the time. This is causing my appilcation to run slowly when compared to the same application running on the same machine under fedora core 2. (CPU Utilization around peak 17 % in either of the cores in Fedora Core2) Recently I installed Cent OS 5 on it. But the behavior of the PC remains the same as of Redhat Enterprise Linux WS4. Some-where on the forums I had read about the RAM size. So i tried to downgrade the RAM from 1 GB to 256 MB. But the problem remains the same. I think it has to do with some kernel tweaking.
I just got a buffalo bluetooth wireless internet adapter and I need to find out if it can work. I am a linux noob and am using ubuntu lucid lynx, where should I start?
Been using Maverick on my Dell Studio XPS for many months without issue. About a week or two ago, compiz has been acting funny and using a lot of cpu time, making everything "choppy," especially after resuming from suspend. I've googled and searched the forum, but all the related posts seem to be several years old.I tried selecting the previous kernel but it didn't help. Was there a bad update to compiz or ati graphics?
I have a server running samba process and there are about 70 samba users connected at a time. The system has 4Gb of memory and it seems each samba process is utilizing only 3352Kb of memory. When I run the command pmap -d (pid of samba)
But when I run the top command, it results as below: Tasks: 163 total, 1 running, 162 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.9% us, 4.9% sy, 0.0% ni, 93.3% id, 0.8% wa, 0.2% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 3895444k total, 3163192k used, 732252k free, 352344k buffers Swap: 2097144k total, 208k used, 2096936k free, 2487636k cached
Why could the system be utilizing such high memory? By the way, the server is not running other processes. The samba version running in it is 3.0.33-0.17.
