I use abcde to rip and encode all my music. It works great especially the option of ripping an entire cd to one flac or mp3 file, this was great for Sleep's Jerusalem. Anyway I have a cd by the Melvins (the Maggot) which they famously split each track into two tracks midway through the song. I would like to know if there is a way to rip them into "whole" tracks?
I'm a newbie on Ubuntu, I have a problem with squid proxy. I'd like to configure a system, include:
- a server is named ProxyServer that is installed Squid proxy. - three servers, are named FTPServer01, FTPServer02, FTPServer03. each server is installed vsftpd. - Clients are installed Filezilla to up/download resource.
All servers are managed by IP address. When a client request a resource, client connect to ProxyServer, this ProxyServer will switch to one of Ftp servers. I do not know how to configure the squid's config file to setup them.
I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.1. I notice that when my server gets slow and the load goes up, there is a bunch of processes call mi_dmonq running. Does anyone know what this process does? I tried to find it online but didn't find anything. Also, I tried to find the binary on the server but find doesn't return anything. Does anyone know what it is?
I have an issue on one of my servers whereby the [normally very helpful] du and tar programs are somehow using up too much or my system resources (du 40% mem, tar 20% mem) and causing problems. I am after a command which is able to kill a process without knowledge of a PID but by process name e.g. "du" and memory usage e.g. >= 10%.
Something along the lines of: kill $(pgrep du) grep %MEM > 10
Although I know that is invalid syntax I cannot fathom the correct/best way to achieve this end!
After an update recently I noticed that my process count jumped up quite a bit. Somehow it doesn't seem related (it was an apt update I believe), but I'll just throw it out there. All of the extra processes seem to be related to XFS and JFS file system kernel processes, but none of my file systems use XFS nor JFS, just EXT3 & EXT4. Is there any safe/easy way to kill off these processes and prevent them from re-spawning? I don't find having irrelevant idle processes to be beneficial nor efficient. It's using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. Only active file systems are EXT4 and EXT3.
I was under the impression that /etc/environment was the place to put variables if you wanted them to be available to all users at all times. But I just realized root which is running my service processes doesn't seem to load it.My /etc/environment:
Code: #!/bin/bash #count lines that show apache2 but not the fgrep itself let i=`ps aux | fgrep apache2 | fgrep -v grep | wc -l` if [ "$i" -gt 0 ] then #log something
[Code]...
It has all been working fine until recently when Apache is becoming unresponsive. I manually ran ps to check and there were 3 processes. However when I ran apache2ctl graceful I got the message 'httpd not running, trying to start' Is there a better way to check if a daemon is up?
Using Ubuntu server 10.04.2 64-bit all up to date.
I am running multi-threaded processes. These use OpenMP in my own code and the multi-threaded ACML maths library. When run in the foreground, everything is fine i.e. if I have set
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=8
then when I start all 8 cores are in use and things whizz along. However, when running overnight and logged out using e.g. 'at now + 1 minute' then the command, I am only getting about 130% CPU and it slows down accordingly. I have tried renice'ing and calling from within a bash script in case sh is doing something odd but nothing seems to solve it. I am sure that in the recent past this wasn't the case.
The libraries being used are shared versions in case that might have any bearing.
I have a program that receive user input. I want to run this program automatically without user interaction, and in order to do that I need to simulate key events. How can I do such a thing?
The program I am running is partly java and partly shell.
The shell part is easily done by using: ./prog.sh <parameters (Parameters being a file containing parameters) But the java doesn't work similarly.
In the gnome-system-monitor, on the "Processes" tab in the "View" menu, I should be able to choose between "Active Processes", "All Processes", and "My Processes". The chooses are all greyed out and I am only able to view "My Processes".I launched the app as root and had the same lack of choice.I also disabled SELinux and rebooted the machine.
Title sums up my problem. Im running so many processes in Slackware, running KDE. I dont even run that many programs, and already its more than XP has (by a **** load). What is wrong here, and how do i kill a lot of the processes to cut down on my cpu usage by tons and cut down memory usage while still keeping everything the same?
Heres a picture of my system monitor - img651 DOT imageshack DOT us/img651/5994/systemmonitorz.png
I didnt put image tags because its a fullscreen.
The memory rises over time, when I restarted my computer it was up to 500 - 600 mbps. At the minute after its at 360.
Why are things so difficult using Linux/Ubuntu? I'm trying to rip some tracks from a CD, I've looked at various threads telling me how this might be possible. I've tried RipperX, installed it, used it, and the resultant track I was told couldn't be played because I didn't have the necessary files installed. Funny because I have quite a number of MP3's which play quite happily I tried RubyRipper, couldn't for the life in me work out how to install, never mind use it. I then switched to Windows, Googled CDex, downloaded it, installed it and ripped the three tracks in less time than it's taken me to type this. Don't get me on the subject of cropping photos in Gimp or F-Spot.
however I've managed to hash up the iPod database using gtkpod, as it seemed to come up with some error, which it quite often seems to do. It all semed normal unitl I ejected the device, as, upon ejection, it appears to not have any tracks or videos on, only games, however I can tell you that all the tracks are still there. The only other issue is my windows box is out of commision, and my laptop doesn't have enough space to hold 80g of music, and need the iPod soon for many presentations, which rules out sending it back to apple.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and put some music from my flash drive onto my computer. I play the music and it opens with Totem music player, but I cannot figure out for the life of me why it's streaming if it's on the disk Ubuntu is installed on. I can't skip to certain places in music or movies, and if I pause anything to go AFK for 5 seconds and press play to resume, it goes back to the beginning. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I forgot to mention that there was a codec I downloaded to try and view a SWF file in Totem and it still wouldn't play. Perhaps that's the problem? Anyone know the name of the codec so I can get rid of it?
I have an Ubuntu Server 8.04 that is operating fairly high CPU loads - Samba appears the culprit. I have 5 main shares with 17 users. Other packages include Apache (2 Wordpress sites for intranet only), YaCy (minimal indexing 10 pages/minute), and a MySQL business database with no more than 10 concurrent users. This only started in the last 2 weeks - updates are not the culprit.
I have a 10.04 32-bit virtual ubuntu server. I am trying to figure out how to setup load balancing. Here is how I planned out to do it, I need direction for what software I should use.
--Internet(1.2.3.4) --Router ---Load Balancing Server (192.168.1.30), port 80, public as in port forwarded Load balancer sends traffic to either web server ---Web Server 1 (192.168.1.100) ---Web Server 2 (192.168.1.101)
I heard I should use rsync to keep the files concurrent, at this point rsync is the least of my worries. I need to know what load balancer I should use I have tried and failed with crossroads(xr), and balance. I can't seem to find a modern tutorial for either system. I looked at linux virtual server but that is like 5 years ahead of my current knowledge.
as soon as mysqld starts it goes 100% cpu. I can stop it, there is no mysql_safe running, and I ran mysqlcheck -A -a -c -o -g --auto-repair -u root -p all is ok, syslog shows nothing important but I can't login to any account with mysql client it just sits there, using php it times out. I don't know how to fix the urgent situation...
Looks like it has been started after a release update to 9.10 or 10.4 (i did it in a row) I don't know if this bug is related [URL]
