Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Browsing Hangs - But Everything Works - Did Not Happen On 9.10
Aug 10, 2010Its on an older laptop, a Toshiba Sattelite M50-252. A friend of mine had this laying around, and it wasn't running windows very well. So I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on it and it was performing decently enough for browsing and mailing.
On Ubuntu 9.10 there was a problem sending large images for printing. It would make the printer (A brother HL-4050 CDN, placed on the network) say out-of-memory. Same print job from windows would not make this error. Upgrading the system to Ubuntu 10.04 worked.
Actually, I had before tried 10.04 on the machine but ended up formatting and reinstalling 9.10. This was because browsing on 10.04, no matter what browser, would simply hang randomly. A search on google could be performed, and some pages loaded. But some pages didn't load at all or only a few % of them, and the browser would just claim to be "resolving host".
On 9.10, on all 3 installs i've done on the machine, this problem was NOT to be found.
Here goes the real issue: 4 days ago I installed 10.04 to test again(6 months after its release, lots of updates has been done), and browsing worked great. The laptop has been used a lot since then and now yesterday it started stalling again. The most interesting thing is that APT-GET works fine. New software downloads with a snap. Also WGET with a single file works (although it seems to hang at the resolve once in a while).
Why on earth did it suddenly start to behave like this? Nobody with even the knowledge of using SUDO has been using the machine and it has been used ONLY for browsing. Automatic updates are disabled as well. Even weirder, this happens both using the wireless network card and cable.
I have no idea whats going on. Ubuntu 9.10 works always. 10.04 worked the second time (after a few months of updates) but started stalling after a few days. The system itself runs perfectly well, and there is nothing wrong with apt-get and so on as i said.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Resizing Partitions With GParted And What Will Happen With Grub
May 7, 2010I want to resize and eventually remove some partitions on my drive but I need to know how this will affect grub and what to do if I need to fix it.I currently have 3 standard partitions and 1 extended partition on a 160Gb drive.
1st Partition -Windows XP about 60Gb with about 35Gb used. NTFS
2nd Partition -Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 amd64 about 40Gb, 22Gb used ext4
3rd Partition -Linux swap about 2.5Gb
Extented Partition -Ubuntu 9.10 about 49Gb with 23Gb used ext4
I'd like to shrink the Extended partition down and add the space to the 2nd partion where Lucid is. Eventually, I'll want to delete the whole extended partition and add all the space to the Lucid partition.
After using GParted to resize these partitions, what will happen when I boot? Will I need to tell grub where the swap and 9.10 are? I am not changing the start of the first two partitions so I would assume there will not be any problem with them (I'm not sure how moving the start of the swap might affect the Lucid installation though).

General :: Set What Should Happen In Terminal On A Certain Command?
May 20, 2011If I execute
cal 2013
in terminal, it echoes the calendar for the year 2013. For the matter of fun, I'd like the terminal to echo
This year won't come.
How should I do this? I tried adding it as an alias to .bashrc, but I cannot create aliases with spaces.
EDIT:
The final solution:
echo "cal() { if [[ $@ > "2012" ]]; then command echo "This year won't come."; else command cal "$@"; fi; }" >> ~/.profile && source ~/.profile

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Scheduling Audio Playback
May 5, 2010I am wondering about scheduling audio playback under Ubuntu. The background is this: My birthday is fast approaching, and I always try to do something to remember the best birthday gift I ever received, that being the Apollo 11 mission; Neil and Buzz landed on my 12th birthday.
Anyway, I have a wagonload of audio from nasa.gov and would like to schedule the MP3s to play in real time. 'at' won't do it, at least with 'mplayer'; I've tried. I suspect that because there is no controlling terminal for jobs run under 'at', the audio has no place to go. Is there some way to get a controlling terminal for these audio playback jobs, or specify a destination to some player?
Ubuntu :: Scheduling A Task To Run Every 73 Minutes?

Software :: Set Top Box With Scheduling Of Tasks On 2.6.12
Mar 10, 2010We are seeing some strange behavior on a Set top Box with the scheduling of tasks. We use 2.6.12 kernel. The issue is when we create a Task, say task1 with a priority of 46.But,this task is not Scheduled to run by the scheduler right away. It gets chance to run only after sometime. What we see here is that I create many other tasks with lower priority than task1,but they are immediately scheduled. Ideally, the task1 should have got scheduled before certain other low priority tasks as it has higher priority. Any patch is available wrt this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Preemption And Scheduling Of Pthreads
Feb 10, 2010i think we can simulate preemption by using 2 different priority thread, am i true? I just try these scenario :
1. Create Thread A with priority 99 , SCHED_FIFO..
2. Create Thread B with priority 4 , SCHED_FIFO
Thread A started and doing some busy work.. I guess that Thread B wouldn't start until thread A finished, but I get thread B can run before Thread A finished (It just like a common task switching).. I'm sure my 2 thread has right priority. and if thread B is doing some work and if i yield it to thread A, it should preempt it but this doesnt happen, do someone kno wats happening?
