Ubuntu :: Where Is Task Scheduler In Kubuntu 9.10?
Apr 9, 2010I have seen tutorials all over the web on how to use this, but I can't find the Task Scheduler anywhere on my system. I'm using 9.10.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Kubuntu 10.04, how do you get rid of the background image for the bar? I want my desktop functional and not visually interesting. The taskbar (sorry I forget the correct name) background makes it much harder to see the useful content, especially the icon for selecting between desktops, that uses the same shades as the default image.
I took a few google searches and a bunch of experiments just to get rid of the image (in favor of a solid color) for the main desktop. That dialog was not where I expected it and I wasted lots of time in dialogs for configuring the desktop appearance that don't offer that basic option. But I did find it. That still leaves an image as background for the bar, and I have no clue how to get rid of that image.
After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 all of a sudden, the task manager or task bar, keeps changing length. The individual window "buttons" themselves keep changing size - flashing even, and the space between them also changes. It is driving me nuts! The little system tray(?) icons no longer appear in the system tray, but all stacked on top of each other in the top left corner.

Is there an application or plugin which periodically displays the contents of the tasklist or even better, it briefly displays the most urgent/important tasks when I login? Or anything else which automatically displays the most important tasks. Currently I have to open the task list and look at them (which I usually forget). I do not mean some kind of alarm when the task is due but more a daily reminder of what to do.

I know you can pass "elevator=noop" to the kernel, but that sets all the drives to that scheduler, which I don't want as I still have ye olde spinning drives too - I just want a single drive set to noop..
I'm guessing there's an init script somewhere which is ideal for this, but I've no clue which!
Is there a DEB of the 2.6.32 Kernel with the BFS Scheduler built in? I'd like to give it a run, but I'm not so sure about compiling it on my own.

Now it appears in advanced system settings.If I test the task with the run now button the task works correctly. However, when the set time arrives, the task is not performed automatically. I have tried both the personal user cron and the system cron.
By the way, when I try sudo service crond restart, It says service not recognized and when I use sudo contab -e, the file is empty. It should have something since I added an entry in the system's cron in the kde schedule manager.
I recently loaded ubuntu 10.04 on an older laptop to get a feel for using a GUI version. I would like to setup a recurring job schedule to start sound recorder or Audacity. I would prefer it was from a graphical user interface but would do it with a cron if I could get started.

Here is whats happening. I have speed scheduler set to pause my seeds during the day. sometimes when it pauses a finished torrent the status of the torrent will be stuck on "stopping". When it does this my bandwidth up and down drop to 0 and I cannot download new torrents. I cannot removed the "stopping" torrent or even restart it. Vuze just kind of locks up. I have to kill the java process and restart Vuse before I can get it working again.
I'm running the latest version of Vuze and the speed scheduler plugin on Ubuntu 10.04.
I'm trying to run a command with the 'at' scheduler in Linux Mint 9. It's basically a ssh connection to my Smoothwall firewall to tell it to shut down, but that part isn't really important. The problem I have is that I can't get the 'at' schedule command to do much. I can type commands into the terminal and they work perfectly. If I enter exactly the same command into 'at' nothing happens.
For example, I can type 'plink -load smoothwall' into a terminal and a new ssh terminal comes up asking for my password to make an ssh connection. If I create an 'at' job with the same command, ie:
Code:
$ at now + 5 minutes
at> plink -load smoothwall
at> <Ctrl-d>
$
then nothing at all happens when the 5 minutes are up. I've checked that the job exists by doing an 'atq' command. Obviously there's something about 'at' that I don't understand. I've googled, I've looked in this forum and I've looked in a copy of 'The Linux Bible 2010' all without success. I've tried various alternative ways of entering the command for a couple of hours and I'm still stuck.
I am trying to write a BASH script that will help people print on Linux Servers (CentOS). I am asking the file in the script. We use a print server That have specific named print queue/ports.
The syntax I am using is:
lpr -H at-test.college.edu:Test-BWQ -U test test.doc
and I get a "lpr : Error - Scheduler is not responding!".
[Examples used:]
Server: at-test.college.edu
Port/queues: Test-BWQ

So how do I get real USB performance back? On older kernels, copying files to USB sticks, I'd get 30Mb/s. Struggling to get 4Mb/s now. What settings can I change?

Tri-booting. They were installed in the order I listed above. I ran into a few bugs with Kubuntu, so I no longer want to use it. I want to use GParted on a LiveCD to format Kubuntu and expand my Ubuntu home partition to sit on top of Kubuntu's space right now. If I nuke Kubuntu, will Grub still exist with my Ubuntu/XP entries to boot?
When I boot , I find a line: starting deferred execution scheduler: atd failed. How to do with it? I use Debian 6.

Following VMware recommendations on how to change linux I/O scheduler for guests, I'm trying to do it on my VM machine running Debian Wheezy. At the moment I'm running kernel backports:
Code: Select all$ uname -a
Linux brutus2 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u3~bpo70+1 (2016-01-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
The default I/O scheduler at the moment for device /dev/sda is CFQ, and I can change it on the fly to NOOP:
Code: Select all$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
noop deadline [cfq]
$ echo noop > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
[noop] deadline cfq

I am trying to explore if Linux can be run on a multicore platform when the max frequency of one the cores is less than the others.
please give me some pointers or let me know if you have tried such HW configuration.

I would like to apply KDE on my Kubuntu because the current one blew up. But each time I to sudo get-apt it seems to be fetching from the cloud. Is there a way I can make it to read from my local Kubuntu CD? I have both Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Kubuntu Live CDs.
I believe the local disk read should be faster to translate than to bite the bytes across thousands of miles over the wire right?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently read about "at" and thought it was neat, so I wanted to try it out. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do what it's supposed to. I would type: at now + 1 min
Then in the prompt I would type:
echo hello
zenity --info --text="HELLO"
<Ctrl+D>
I confirm the job is entered with "atq" and sure enough, the job is there, for the correct time. When the time comes around, nothing happens, and the job disappears. I don't see any text in the console, nor do I see a zenity infobox pop up.
as we all know Process Scheduler does Process scheduling and its a process as well. I was just wondering that if this happens then the Process "Process Scheduler" should be a part of Process queue as well.
So if there are 5 process are there in Process queue & process scheduler is administrating them then since its also a process, once it puts a process under RUN state it should itself go inside queue because at one instant only one process can get executed on a processor. This is quite confusing for me. Please help me out. I tried to search on this but could not find any relevant topics.
I the Linux kernel 2.6.32, The CFQ scheduler has been changed as you probably know. They insert the 'low_latency" mode in it.I read that this option, actually limits the affect of the dirty data write from the buffer cache while the system doing sync IO.
From url:
Quote:
"the amount of async writeback sent to the device will be limited by the time since that last sync IO." "limiting the damage that the async IO can do while sync IO is also happening"
I also read that this option is not recommended to Database server.As I know, DB writes his DB files with O_DIRECT and won't write to the Filesustem buffer cache.SO this option don't need do bother him.
For some reason randomly my task bar messes up for some reason. Im not sure if many other people have this. but ill provide a picture so you can see it. Some times its even worse, like i get a double account name and double of everything else.
