Software :: Creating A Tmpfs Without Root Privileges?
Mar 14, 2010I've grown rather fond lately of creating tmpfs here and there to speed up various activities. (I think it is awesome that RAM can be mounted to a directory!) The downside though, is that this requires root privileges. I don't really like this because then I either have to go root each time I want a tmpfs, or I have to add a new line to fstab each time I want a tmpfs in some new, odd place. (This becomes doubly weird when the odd place is somewhere like inside my personal home directory.) Is there some other utility out there that can mount RAM as a filesystem, but allow mounting to be done without root privileges? It seems like this shouldn't be an issue, since a normal user has the ability to create and manipulate directories as well as borrow as much RAM as he wants.

View 3 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Multiple Tmpfs Mounts And Reasonable Settings For /tmp?
Jul 17, 2011My laptop now has 8GB of memory, so I think mounting a tmpfs over /tmp is a reasonable thing to do. I also want to prepare for getting a SSD in the near future.The computer has a 1GB swap partition and I've set vm.swappiness=20
1) There is also a tmpfs mounted to /dev/shm. Both have the default size of 50%. Is there a way to get /dev/shm and /tmp to share the same capacity without doing a symlink or bind?
2) Is the swap partition a good size (is that swappiness value ok)? What happens if /tmp runs out of room? Should I increase the swap size to something really large like 15G (because I have swappiness so low...)?
Red Hat / Fedora :: Tmpfs / Ramfs Partition Sync To Remote Storage
Nov 18, 2010My linux system is running from the ram (ramfs/tmpfs). Crated a partition type 'tmpfs'. Processes are reading/ writing from/to this partition files. I am looking for utilities to sync this partition to the remote storage regularly (say, once in 10 sec). Normal copy command will produce partial files, if the copy is getting executed during a write operation.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Udev And Tmpfs Fail On Custom Kernel - Docs Misleading ?
Jul 19, 2010On boot, udev is giving a mount error. It appears to not have control of the /dev directory. This was finally traced to bad kernel compile, but some questions remain. Bogus information has been removed.
The kernel was built with tmpfs (CONFIG file had CONFIG_TMPFS, compiled kernel probably did not, this has been fixed.)
My system runs, probably because there is a valid /dev directory tree copied from the original 2.4.31 system.
After boot, I am getting 3 udevd running, according to "ps -A".
After re-executing /etc/rc.d/rc.udev I see only one udevd at a low id number (625).
Previously I had 2.4.31, which had udev and it was mounting using ramfs.
My fstab has:
On my previous 2.4.31 these fstab lines were:
I have been running Slackware since 1996. This is Slackware 13.1, running on a Sempron/Athlon K8, VIA chipsets. I have been fighting with this install for 2 weeks now. If I have to I will disable udev and live with a /dev directory that I setup by hand.
If udev does not have a tmpfs over the top of /dev, does it use the /dev on the harddrive or does it just fail some other way ?

Ubuntu :: Left-click On My Mouse Disables?
Oct 18, 2010I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Windows machine a couple of days ago via wubi (with no partition), and it seems to be working. However, I have a problem: When I press any of the 'special' keys on the keyboard (Vol up, down, mute, and various others), the left-click on my mouse disables. I'm using a Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard 3000, which has a lot of special keys (and the f keys are special by default), so I've been having trouble not disabling my mouse. Anyone know what the problem is, how to resolve it? And on top of that, how do I make the special keys work?
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Compiz Disables Itself - How To Turn Off This Setting
Nov 1, 2010I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 with nVidia 8600M graphics card. I'm running 10.10 Maverick, and I've set up CompizConfig settings manager. Everything works just dandy, but it will sometimes disable all settings. Restarting X fixes everything, but I can't figure out why it disables in the first place. When disabled, all the visual effects are disabled (wiggly windows, transparency, desktop cube, etc.) The settings in System>Preferences>appearance>Visual Effects is set to Extra, and all my CompizConfig settings are the same. I haven't figured out any way to get it working again except by restarting X.
So far, the only times it has disabled like that are when I've set the computer to "suspend" or "hibernate", and a couple times when it has gone to screensaver while running on battery. It never does it while plugged in (but plugging it in will not restore the graphic effects) I have no idea how to keep the graphic effects working. Perhaps it's related to me unplugging my computer and running on battery? If so, is there any way to turn off this setting?
Ubuntu Networking :: Ndiswrapper Disables Usb Automount
Jan 31, 2011Making wifi work with ndiswrapper disabled usb automount. This happened on several ubuntu versions, including 10.10.
After following the directions given in this post [URL] usb automounting stopped working.
I fixed it this way:

sudo gedit /etc/modules
Added these lines to the file:
Code:

Save and exit, worked after reboot or restarting network.

Ubuntu :: Unity - Mythtv Or How To Hide Unity Launcher
May 8, 2011Just moved to Ubuntu 11.04 with unity and only have one problem...For most of my desktop needs I prefer to have the Unity Launcher up all the time (fullscreen apps don't cover it), and have set this option with ccsm.
However, when I watch mythtv, it is also under the launcher (and the top panel as well). How can I force mythtv to cover the launcher?
What I really need is a keyboard shortcut to hide the launcher, but the only shortcut is for "show launcher". (I guess the devs assumed everyone would want it hidden by default).
This, by the way is not my usual way for viewing mythtv. I have a projector attached to the desktop PC and it doesn't get a Unity Launcher by default (in Twinview), so no probs. However, occasionally I want to watch something on my computer screen, and that is when this issue arises.
Ubuntu :: Compiz Disables Flash Clicking / Resolve This?
Feb 17, 2010I've had this issue with Flash for a while where I can't click on anything. After I upgraded a friend's linux box and installed Compiz she started having the same issue and suggested I disable desktop effects.
After I disabled desktop effects sure enough, flash started working again.
I'm not exactly sure what's causing the problem. I'll try disabling specific options when I get time later and post anything I find. In the meantime anyone else have this issue?

Ubuntu :: Compiz Cube Disables Vertical Viewport Switching
May 13, 2010I have sixteen workspacess arranged in a 4x4 square. When the Compiz desktop cube is enabled, I can only switch between four of them on a row. All keys that would otherwise allow me to switch up and down between rows are disabled, even the ones I set outside of Compiz.
What is worst is that even the Window switchers are unable to change the current row I am on. If I use the Ring, Shift or Static switchers' "All Workspaces" modes, I can see the windows on all sixteen workspaces - but trying to switch to a window that is above or below the row I am currently on will only rotate around to the correct workspace's column, but not actually bring up the workspace the window is on. To navigate between all workspaces, I have to use the "Expose" feature.
Is there any way I can have a cube for horizontal navigation, but keep ordinary vertical navigation?
Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade From Karmic To Lucid Disables PostgreSQL-8.3?
May 19, 2010I just upgraded a Ubuntu Desktop 64bit system from Karmic (9.10) to Lucid (10.04). There were several PostgreSQL 8.3 clusters running on that machine. After the upgrade, postgresql was not able to run anymore.
The package postgresql-8.3 was marked "rc" in dpkg -l I was not able to re-install PostgreSQL 8.3 because of a mismatched dependency. There was no warning. I guess i should have read the release notes, which i didn't. There should have been a warning before it was too late to turn back and upgrade postgresql to 8.4 first. I don't see how this is supposed to work, ever.
I'd like to know if this would be considered a bug, if it is known already and how to correctly file this bug correctly if appropriate (ubuntu-bug ?)

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Gnome Desktop Login Disables Multidisplay For ATI?
Mar 7, 2011I am running maverick 10.10 with ATI drivers and two monitors. When I boot up both monitors are enabled and in multidisplay mode, showing the login widget and background, but when I log in the second monitor gets disabled and I have to use the ATI control panel to reconfigure to multidisplay. Not a major issue but rather annoying. This also happened with 10.04 LTS BTW. I was hoping for better behaviour in 10.10.
Is there a way to persist the ati control panel configuration across reboot +relogin ? Why would gnome desktop startup disable multidisplay ( and where might that be configured ) ?
I can't see anything obvious in /etc/gdm for this. xorg.conf lists both monitors enabled.

Ubuntu :: Deleting Alacarte Entry Disables Autostart Of Gnome-panel?
Jun 1, 2011I edited my menu using alacarte. There was an unchecked entry of "Panel", so I deleted that entry. After a reboot, my gnome-panel autostarts no more. I reset everythin in alacarte, but I still have to start gnome-panel manually.

Debian :: Plugin Disables Automatically - Unable To Enable
Apr 11, 2010there i had a issue with compiz where i would try to enable a plugin but it would disable itself. i tried searching a lot on the net but ended up with almost no luck. Some plugins from the compiz-fusion-main-plugins package disable themselves, this occur because the version of plugin package is actually newer than the compiz and compiz-core packages. To solve this problem i added a repository which had the latest versions of compiz and upgraded them. since the actual repositories for debian testing maintain the two packages with different versions.

Feb 13, 2009After installation, I changed the hostname of my computer, using system-config-network. However, after every reboot, it no longer wants to automatically connect to the network. The only way I could fix this was to remove NetworkManager-gnome and install knetworkmanager and use it to create a new connection. There was a flag there to autoconnect.
The other problem is that the hostname never shows on my network. My other PCs all have visible hostnames. One is an Ubuntu box and the other Windows XP. These machines can be pinged by hostname. The Fedora box can only be reached from the other PCs by specifying the numeric IP address.
I've checked the usual places and the hostname is correctly specified. Entering the 'hostname' command returns the correct hostname on the Fedora box. I am running Fedora 10.
