Aug 12, 2011I have installed Preload (0.6.4-1) on Xubuntu 11.04. How do I know if it is running/working? I can't seem to find any reference to Preload in the task manager.

View 3 RepliesThis is an Xubuntu install on a memory stick. I had the video working perfectly after the initial installation of Xubuntu. After I ran the updates and rebooted the system I had no video. It says ,"Server is already active for display 0, if the server is no longer running remove /tmp/.XO-lock and startup again"I looked around for a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file but it does not exist. What next?

View 2 Replies View Relatedi'm running fluxbox on my xubuntu 10.10. I'm just trying to set up the key file and the keys i enter will randomly not bind. Like for example:
# open a terminal
Mod1 F1 :Exec x-terminal-emulator
# open a dialog to run programs
Mod1 F2 :Exec fbrun
# filhanterare
Mod1 F3 :Exec thunar
# textredigerare
Mod1 F4 :Exec notepad
terminal, fbrun and notepad works fine but not thunar. i've tried a million different combos of keys and modifiers and it seems totally random weather it works or not. sometimes what works one minute don't after next reconfigure.
When i run the original keys-file i get this log output:
Keys: Invalid key/modifier on line 66):
I get similar outputs when i change the keys-file for other numbers too but it doesn't seem to happen for every key that doesn't work.
Struggling to get an old xubuntu box connected to the net, running 2.6.24-19-generic
If I try
sudo dhclient eth0
I get
Code:

Preload notes the applications I open frequently and preloads them for faster app. startup.
But is there any way in which I can add my own files to preload
I was thinking of creating an extremely minimal version of Xubuntu using XFCE. I have a Dell Mini 9, a netbook that uses a wireless-g card requiring bcmwl-kernel-source to work.What I would like to do is use either the alternate CD or mini.iso minimal install file to perform a command line install-style installation of the system.So far, what I am thinking (from reading this [url].... article:
HTML Code:
http:[url].....is to start off with these packages to begin with:
xorg
slim (if possible with 9.10, unsure if it is still available. in short, i want to use a lightweight display manager)
xfce4
xfce4-goodies
xubuntu-default-settings
bcmwl-kernel-source
aptitude
My opening questions are: Should I go with mini.iso or the Xubuntu Alternate Install CD (or the Ubuntu one)? If so, which one? What additional packages will I need to make the hardware accessible and fully functional? All I can think of so far would be sound (I'd like to stay away from PulseAudio if possible, it wreaks havoc with my computer), my webcam, and the memory card slot, if additional packages are needed for it?What other "core" packages should I include in this list? Should I include Synaptic, or other packages, and why?What do I need to take into consideration, since this is both a directly- and battery-powered computer?

To 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?
i 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

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

Whenever 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor 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.
Have had a clean perfectly working copy of 2.6.31.6-166 for months and after two updates to 2.6.31.12-174.2.3 and 2.6.31.12-174.2.19, neither of the newer kernel versions will allow machine to boot properly. Start-up hangs at the preload daemon with a flickering screen. To use machine, must use grub chooser and choose the original base kernel.
Running on Tyan h2000m board, opteron 2356, Nvidia 9800 GTX+ and 12GB of dram with SELinux security enabled.
I've built my own kernel and now boot.preload complains about the missing preloadtrace.ko kernel module.
Where can one find the source for this module?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an MSI netbook with a non-functioning version of Ubuntu (the GUI is GNOME, and currently not working) and I'm trying to replace that with xubuntu. For whatever reason, I cannot get the system to mount the USB key, which currently has nothing on it except for the xubuntu .iso file. My computer is encrypted with sda5_crypt, which comes up and demands a password just after the MSI boot screen. I assume I need to press some kind of key before the sda5_crypt screen, but I'm not sure which button that is. There is an option of pressing F11 for "boot menu", and from there I can select "flash card", but it doesn't do me any good to do that.

This is the BETA version of the latest Xubuntu, by the way...
I'll try to give out as much details as possible but this issue is very troubling.
I used to work with maverick until the final natty xubuntu went online the other day.
So I'm now working with Xubuntu 11.04 amd64 Since i started working with it im experiencing on my PC a serious overheat causing the computer to shut itself down and to my LED screen on the mother board to report more then 100C degrees of the cpu... this never happened before, and after some testing i found out that i only happens in full screen opengl game (Enemy territory- shuts itself after 6 minutes) and full screen flash movie playing (such as mega video- shuts itselfs after 10-15 minutes). I don't use stock cooling im using a arctic freezer 64 pro. and i clean my computer and put new thermal grease every couple of months (i also did it again after the problem started).
now for the specs: I'll just add that the only other thing changed is the fglrx drivers which i now use the 11.4 catalyst.

I click on top left then shut down button and then shut down. After that a screen appear saying a lot of technical things. In last line it is written [some mathematical code]system halt after that i need to press CPU button to close computer. Is this correct process of closing xubuntu 11.04. I am asking this because it is not required to press CPU button in any windows version(xp/vista/7).
