My Friend and I have a similar spec PC apart from mine has 4GB DDR2 his 2GB DDR2 and Mine quad core 2.3Ghz and his Dual core 2.3Ghz.... Both on a fresh 10.04 install with Grub2
Bootchart beats mine by about 10sec why?[Files Attached]
The thing I love most about 10.04 has been the boot times. Now, sadly that is gone for me... Suddenly it takes longer to boot. With almost no new apps installed and I have a separate disk for music/videos and such. Also, removed most of startup-applications!
Before, when the ubuntu logo showed the dots didn't even complete a whole lap, and...I was in the desktop... Now it does a couple rounds before eventually getting to the desktop.
Nothing extremely slow, but still noticable!..
Created a bootchart, but i couldn't see anything extraordinary.. maybe you guys can?
I get the bootchart.tgz file to be created, but I am unable to convert it to a png file. I have tried several instructions on how to make this conversion, but none of them have worked. Here is the one listed on this forum:
after login to GUI open your browser and go to: Bootchart scroll down to Renderer Web Form and upload bootchart log tarball located in /var/log/bootchart.tgz leave PNG format nex press Render chart button. I do not see the location on the website listed, to upload a file.
The other methods I have tried entail using the terminal to convert the file, but I continue to get errors on a failed conversion, or the wrong commands.Is there by chance I do not have a certain software yet installed to make this conversion on my laptop. I have installed the minimal OpenSUSE 11.3.
I have OpenSUSE 11.2. I removed bootchart and forgot to run mkinitrd. Now, right at the start of the boot process, I get boot/93-bootchart.sh: line 17: 462 Terminated stopinitrd 5
I Can't find any 93-bootchart.sh anywhere. Earlier I got an error message about non existing /sbin/bootchartd, but I just copied /bin/cat to /sbin/bootchartd using a GParted boot disk. I tried to use chroot with an OpenSUSE boot disk, but mkinitrd can't find the root device, which is there actually (/dev/sda5). How can I make my system boot again? now I managed to re-install the bootchart rpm, using OpenSUSE boot disk and chmod. The system starts again. But that annoying bootchart is still there. I will not try again to remove it. First I will try to figure out, how to disable it during the boot process.
I did a kernel upgrade in openSUSE 11.2 which caused bootchart to fill the root partition or so it would appear as when I rebooted I started getting messages on the console saying bootchartd could not write because the device was full.
Let me begin by describing my system:
Partition table: fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00083a53
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 2612 20980858+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 2613 15666 104856255 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 * 15667 15927 2096482+ 83 Linux code....
As you can see from the partition table I have 2GB allocated for the / partition and according to the df command there is 0 free space but du -hx shows / is only using 405MB. What's happened to the almost 1.6GB that should be available?
I have seen a bunch of pictures of peoples Desktops, and I notice that a lot of them have the CPU usage and other stuff on the side of the screen. An example is :[URL]
I've been thinking of turning my old computer into a media center for a while now (it was running Ubuntu Server 9.10). I recently bought a new 23inch screen so.. out with the server, in with the media center! (currently Xubuntu but running on LXDE as it's a lot lighter) My problem: The computer barely manages to play 720p videos on XBMC (on ..... or totem/vlc it's just impossible with breaks, lag and constant freezes).. I used the debug function of XBMC and guess what.. a 720p movie takes my cpu to a constant 100% usage!! =X
So here's my question.. what distro or 'buntu flavor would you advise me to use?? I thought about a minimal install but don't want to try it just yet..
I would like to find out the specs of the computer, however I did build the computer from components myself so I can't google anything to find out specs.
I got an old laptop from my brother, it has ubuntu 6 on it right now. The computer is real old, complete with a windows 95 and pentium II sticker on it. I'd like to put a new install on this but first I would like to find out how to check the hardware specs like processor and ram so i can choose what to install. How can i do that?
I have an old Pentium III 600mHz 512mb RAM pc currently running XP & would like to try to resurrect it as a usable pc running Ubuntu or a variant.After trying the main website & despite searching the forums (although not every page of the 3k that turned up), I can't find recommended processor specs anywhere other than Wikipedia.
How can I find the detailed specifications of my hard drive? I installed VMware player and created a Win7 VM guest.Performance is pretty bad.Heard that VMware player is not built for SATA drives, but I don't know what type I haveAm interested in using VirtualBox, because it has support for SATA drives, but, again, I am not sure what type of drive I have. Just need to know the specs on my hard drive so I know what type of VM software to install/run/enjoy
When I build my software with rpmbuild command, the rpms are not gettinggenerated in the directory specified in rpmmacros file(%_rpmdir)This is what I am doing..
1/ I haven't catch the difference between dwdiff, diff or dircomp If one wants to only output files (JPEG, doc, etc.), which have been created, absent or modified The command:
diff -r -q
works well, any advantage for another command? Subtilities between commands for issues like:
* identical content, but renamed files * identical names & date & weight, but different content (virus)
2/ Is there a way to tell diff to store in a specific directory all missmatched files? Something as
diff - r -q oldBackup actualData /media/sda1/discrepant
Where diff would store in media/sda1/discrepant all files which are new or modified after comparison between oldBackup and actualData
I would like to compare the (screen) output of one bash script with the (screen) output of another bash script to ensure the output is exactly the same.The reason for this is that I am receiving a consolidated data feed from an IP address and have moved some of the data feed to a 'new' source IP address. I will turn off the feed from the original once satisfied that the new is receiving the same data. The format of the output from the scripts are exactly the same.
Tried so far ./IDCGRE.sh | grep FX.CK | diff < ./IDCGRE2.sh ./IDCGRE.sh | grep FX.CK | ./IDCGRE2.sh | diff
I have two H/D and i need to install XP and RHEL5.3 in different H/D connected to single machine.so that when i boot from first H/D linux will boot or if i choose second XP will boot.
Where can i find such subj? I don't see that standart diff supports such feature. It will be used for backup big directory like /home. Because directory is too big so repositories like svn are unacceptable. Good case seems to be diff+tar.gz to save differences for last n-th monthes for example. /home could contain doth hard and symbolic links that are not resolvable on backup machine but could have sense at all (= be resolvable on other machines where /home is used too via nfs mounting).
I would like to make a one-liner, which diff's "ps aux" output before and after killing a process. So basically it should be a combination of fallowing commands: 1) diff -u 2) ps aux | awk '{print $2}' 3) kill `ps aux | grep [c]ron | awk '{print $2}'` 4) ps aux | awk '{print $2}'
How to achieve this? Something like this: Code: diff $( kill `ps aux | grep [c]ron | awk '{print $2}'` && ps aux | awk '{print $2}' ) $( ps aux | awk '{print $2}' ) I don't have pgrep or pkill available.
I have 500 folders of templates in one folder. Now each folder has file called template_thumbnail.png . now i want something so that all those files get copied to one folder with name same as the home folder name
I have cygwin installed and i can copy that folder in there so basically it will linux shell script
I'm new to scripting and I have a trouble with if statement syntax. The code is: Code: #there is a diff command here, and it does what i want but#i wanna see 1 if the exit value of diff is 0, and otherwise i wanna see 0.#the problem is here: (syntax error near unexpected token "then")
I have Fedora in dual boot with windows on a laptop. I have a weird clock problem. If I get the clock set correctly in Fedora, then it's 4 hours too fast in Windows. When I fix it in Windows and then restart into Fedora, it's 4 hours too slow in Fedora!Why are they competing with each other and how do I get them to both be correct?
