I am using Ubuntu11.11 on my Samsung netbook. Since my installation, I am meeting a problem from time to time that the process kswapd0 leads to high data exchange of my solid-state hard-disk, and freezes the entire system which forces me to restart my computer. This problem occurs even though kswapd0 occupies only 28% CPU resource.
View 3 RepliesI just finished a fresh install of Lucid netbook remix on my new Sony Vaio netbook. Everything seemed to go fine until a restart was required after installation was complete, when the monitor went black and the netbook just hung. The only way I could restart was to manually power off and on again. The installation seems to have completed fine and everything works after boot up. However, the netbook continues to freeze if I select restart from the power options. I know its not critical, but it is annoying. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?

Instead of going to sleep when I close the lid, my DM9 freezes. Is there a way to cure that? That didn't happen with 9.04.
Ubuntu 10.04 freezes on installation. When I try to install Ubuntu 10.04 for netbook it will freeze when it starts the installation. Generating locales en_US.UTF-8 and nothing happens, it will be freezed here?what can i do?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using Opensuse 11.4 with KDE and have set the workspace type to "Netbook". Lately I have been experiencing complete freezes of the workspace (the horizontal panel and all it's widgets and elements, the activity pages and even yakuake won't respond to it's hotkey) but the Alt+tab and the Ctrl+Alt+F12345678 key combinations and other programs that might be already running (like firefox and Akregator) don't experience any problems and keep functioning uninterrupted. Sometimes the workspace remains unresponsive indefinitely and in other cases some prodding and left-right click spamming seems to remove the problem in some weird magic way... I usually notice that this freeze has happened after i decide to take a break from browsing with firefox and try to close it thru the 'application control settings' widget. That's when i find out that it's buttons can't be pressed and with an alt+tab to the desktop I see that I can't interact with it in any way. Most of the time i have to reboot my computer through the Ctrl+Alt+F1 terminal...
I also have to mention that i recently started using tumbleweed but the problem was there before that and nothing seems to have changed after the update from the tumbleweed repository.
I recently installed ubuntu netbook remix on my laptop
(sony vaio 1.5GHZ core 2 duo, 1GB ram, intel integrated graphics)
and it was working fine until a faulty power outlet caused my laptop to turn off and on around 2 or 3 times in quick succession.
When i went to reboot, a screen appears with "GNU GRUB version ... " written on the top and i have the option to boot 4 different things, 2 of which are labeled " (recovery mode) " along with the option to do a " Memory Test "
Ive tried booting into all four, and each time a bunch of text streams by and then stops, leaving the prompt " (initramfs)_ " which stays forever, and means nothing to me.
So i decided to try and re-install using the same usb drive that worked before, and the installer boots up fine, but freezes once i click "Forward" to initiate the installation from within the ubuntu OS being run off the USB drive.
I tried using a few different USB drives, and a CD, i even tried installing regular Ubuntu 10.10, but the same thing happens each time - the installer doesn't respond once i click "forward" to initiate the installation.
I actually have it installed on two of my computers. One is an older Acer Aspire 3100 that dual-boots windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04, and an Acer Aspire ONE that has Ubuntu 11.04 as main OS. Before Ubuntu, (even currently) I'm a MAC user, and i'm really liking Ubuntu. On my 3100 it works just fine except the screen flicker on wake, but a quick reboot will solve that.
On my Aspire ONE i've had to re-install ubuntu multiple times. (we're talking 5 or 6 in the last month) Sometimes, it'll boot up to absolutely nothing. One time I got a weird error message everytime it booted. The last install froze up a lot, and eventually would only start to boot into setup. I reinstalled Ubuntu, again and it worked until I shut it off. Boot back up, same thing. Threw me right into setup. I was able to get around it after 5 or so tries of rebooting, hitting ALT F11 and somehow got into ubuntu recovery, but loaded normally. I'm using it now and it's working great currently.
Specs on the ONE
1.5GB Ram
8GB SSD (could this be the culprit?)
ATOM (1.8 or 1.6) GHz Processor.
Halfway through this fiasco, I put windows XP on it and used it solid for 3 days without any of the mentioned above issues.
My sid running fine for months until recently. It is now freezed more frequently. Brief looking at process I found kswapd0 constantly consume 50% cpu right after booting in, even when swap usage is only 3%.

I use suse 11.2 86_64 on a comp with Nvidia Geforce 8300 on the motherboard using 512 Mb from main memory, AMD X2 Dual Core 4600+ RAM 8 GB DDR2 Dual channel and have following problem - from time to time when play a video (streaming or playing a file with any video player - vlc, smplayer, kaffeine etc.) the sound suddenly disappears short afterwards everything freezes even mouse, the hard disk work as wild and after 5 minutes or so the players quit and everything comes alive again. Long time I could not see the process responsible for that because even screen freezes, once I had the luck and noticed a process kswapd0 appearing in time of such an event. I googled and there were similar complying connected with that daemon. I read it will be a good idea to minimize the amount of swap, which in my case is 2 Gb , I unmounted the entire swap and restarted and the OS remains only on RAM 7,5 GB . The event appeared again and there were significant different, it obviously was shorter in time (about a minute) and mouse freezes for short period of time, but again the player quits on the end of the event. Is there a way that the process could be managed in some way as it is very annoying appearing all of a sudden with no warning or something ? Of course if that memory shifting or cleaning is the main problem, again it happens only in case player works and not every time, it is random.
View 9 Replies View RelatedOur CentOS 5.5 server has an intermittent problem where kswapd0 begins using 100% CPU, driving the system load to 20-30 and higher, and eventually crashes the server. The problem seems to be triggered by an intensive Java process (Lucene indexing), but only once every month or two. Lucene reindexing normally runs every 15 minutes without a problem. When the problem happens, there is still plenty of free RAM (as measured by /usr/bin/free's "buffers/cache" value, which is 1.5GB) and free swap space. The server is running MediaWiki 1.15 with the standard CentOS Apache, PHP, MySQL. My intuition is that this is a kernel/swapper bug.

I am having trouble installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix edition onto a Acer Aspire one netbook. I am attempting to install the OS from a 16GB PNY usb drive w/ the usb-universal installer and ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix .ISO
The reoccurring problem that I am encountering is that when I boot from the USB-drive and begin to install everything seems to be working, and then it is stuck at the menu where it asks who are you?; and of course i have filled in everything asked and at the bottom where you can look at what its doing in the terminal/detail section all it says is ready when you are, and the forward tap is unselectable.
Why i cant change from 800x480 to 1024x600, that this model of EEE pc doesnt support anything higher than 800x480 at the 10:1 ratio...

Im running ubtuntu netbook remix 10.04 and am new to linux (again, so sorry) so be nice, and ive tried getting my head around this 'sudo' stuff, and the xorg.conf file (which is nowhere to be found) and ive even tried a program calld astray but im pretty sure ive exhausted my patience as trying to self-teach . . .
And ive also tried to much around with xrandr or whatever that command was.. but i cant really get my head around it, and it kept telling me the resolution didnt exist ect...
For the past 2hrs I have been struggling to make KDE launch plasma-dekstop instead of plasma-netbook, but all in vain.I removed, then purged plasma-netbook and plasma-netbook-default-settings packages but after logging out and re-logging in the Netbook UI was back! After restarting the system now I can't even seem to get the KDM. I am greeted with a black screen.--- I restarted the system again and the nasty little bugger is back again! This is so frustrating. How do I get plasma-desktop to load instead?---- Great now I can see that plasma-desktop and plasma-netbook both are running simultaneously! netbook on top of desktop. So my final Q is how do I stop plasma-netbook from loading?

I installed Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 and immediately noticed the keyboard of my eeepc 1000HE was abnormally warm. Since I dual boot XP I booted to XP and found the fan running faster to compensate for the previous heat. This did not happen on Ubuntu-the fan just was barely running. I had to place the side of the netbook in order to feel the fan running. I issued "sensors" in terminal and it showed 67 degrees C for the cpu temp. Is the latest Ubuntu such a resource hug that it heats up the CPU?

View 14 Replies View RelatedWe are having a cluster with couple of disk servers, compute nodes and a head node. Disk server is nfs mounted on all the compute and head nodes.
The problem is that if any of the disk servers hangs, it freezes rest of the cluster too which is dangerous. Ideally, cluster should not care about the hanged server and run without any problem except files from that server is not visible.
Is there any way I could avoid the problem of freezing cluster because of one hanged server?
Im a new linux user and so far im loving it, problem is i just tried installing Ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix onto my Compaq mini 311 (via usb) and at first i couldnt even install from the flash stick...finally managed to by formatting the flash with an HP tool and then creating the bootable Live OS with "Linux Live USB creator 2.6."
I selected to use the whole Hard disk to install (the hard disk was empty anyway as i recently formated the drive which had windows 7 on it)
The the installation completed successfully but the problem is that after rebooting the OS wouldnt boot, leaving me with a flashing cursor or _ on the top left of the screen...
I have tried everything i could think of, using different Usb creators, formatting the hard drive before re-installing but for some reason im still left with the same blinking cursor after every install.
I have just installed the regular version of ubuntu 9.04 which works perfectly after installing but id much rather use the netbook version of 10.04
(I assume the issue has something to do with the bootloader but im completely new to the topic so cant really troubleshoot)
I installed 8.04 on my EeePC 2005. I use the Windows dual boot option. The netbook's hard drive was factory set with two partitions c and d. Windows XP is on c; I put Ubuntu on d. In Windows, I have both wireless and ethernet (sp?) working fine.In Ubuntu, I have no wireless and no land line. The manual connection wizard pop-up shows no networks anywhere. How can I get Ubuntu connected? Would it be simpler to load another distro like Easy Peasy on top of Ubuntu? Or should I delete Ubuntu and start over? Or is there an easy fix for 8.04?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI could use some help running fsck. My SDA1 appears to be having issues. I cant get my netbook to load.
I popped in a USB drive with Ubuntu on it so I could try to run fsck on it, but I ran into an issue.
According to Ubuntu, this drive is using the "ext3/ext4" file system. I read an online guide for using fsck and it mentioned that I must designate what file system I am running or it will default to ext2 and corrupt my files. So what command should I run so that fsck knows that I have the ext3/ext4 file system?
Also, could someone check to see if the commands I am running are correct (these are starting from the terminal from the USB drive)?
# init 1
# umount /dev/sda1
# fsck.ext3 /dev/sda1
The third command is where I am confused as to what I should type.
I installed USB Startup Disk Creator to a USB Flash Drive from a live 9.10 CD. It booted up OK and of course I ended up with 9.10 on my Netbook. I really want to try the UNR version as a better fit to the 10-inch display. What is the easiest way to switch my Netbook from 9.10 to 9.10 UNR? I sure need a simple and clear approach.
