  Using Core Release 1 with SATA drive
Posted by: GermanyMontrealExpat - 2006-08-09, 07:45 AM - Forum: Fedora Core Release 1 - Replies (1)


Dear All,

 

we are having to use Core Release 1, because of 3rd party haptics software that we require to build a surgery simulator, which requires Linux kernel 2.4, but we are having trouble installing it on a computer that has a SATA drive.

 

Can anyone offer guidance on how to deal with this?

 

Cheers,

 

GME

  HOW TO: Set a particular process to run on a specific cpu ( SMP )
Posted by: bluemoon - 2006-08-07, 08:15 PM - Forum: Tips and Tricks - Replies (1)


OK, Well znx needs to be thanked once again for this.

 

Where this can be used for example:

 

If you are running 4 gaming servers assuming you are using Dual Xeon processors with HT ( classed as 4 cpu's in linux)

 

Server 1 uses 60% CPU Usage

Server 2 Uses 60% CPU Usage

Server 3 Uses 20% CPU Usage

Server 4 Uses 20% CPU Usage

 

Rather than letting the distro automtically assign CPU's it is sometimes better for you to do it manually. In this instance it would make server to have

 

Server 1 using CPU0

Server 2 using CPU1

Server 3 + 4 using CPU2

 

Leaving you with a spare CPU.

 

Example of how to install this in Debian / Redhat / Other:

 



Code:
# apt-get install schedutils




 

Redhat

 



Code:
# up2date schedutils




 

Other

 



Code:
# rpm -ivh schedutils*




 

 

If you have a particular process running and it will retain the same PID throughout then you can do the following command:

 



Code:
# taskset -c 1 -p 13545




 

'-c 1- = Which cpu you wish the process to run on. In my example this can be set to Either ( CPU0, CPU1, CPU 2, CPU3 )

 

'-p 12345- Is the process, if the process does not retain the same PID then you need to do the following:

 



Code:
# taskset -c 3 ./server1.sh




 

If the 'respawning' script needs to be run in screen, you would do:

 



Code:
screen -m -d -s -- taskset -c 3 ./server1.sh




 

The parent and child, no matter how many times new children (therefore new PIDs) it will still run on CPU3 ( -c3 )

 

More information on this can be found @ [/url]http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/setting-proc...or-process.html

 

And more information about re-spawning scripts can be found @ [url=<___base_url___>/index.php?showtopic=1746][/url][url=<___base_url___>/index.php?showtopic=1746]https://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1746

 

I hope this helps.

 

Sorry if some of the lingo is incorrect. I tried my best, im a linux noob :)

 

Thanks to znx again.

  possible downtime tomorrow
Posted by: anyweb - 2006-08-05, 08:37 PM - Forum: Site News - Replies (1)


hi all,

 

due to some electrical work being carried out in the house tomorrow, I may have to power down the server tomorrow,

 

this is a heads-up, if the power does go down, it will be for many hours due to the nature of the electrical work being carried out

 

i'll do my best to notify the IRC channel (#linux-noob) before the event and after (when it's back up)

 

Please understand that this is not avoidable and apologies for any inconvenience.

 

cheers

I am a 19 year old girl from Norway, and I've been running Fedora Core 5 on my desktop for about 4 weeks, before that I had Ubuntu, witch was my first meeting with Linux. I dear say, I'll never go back to where I was befor that, but to say somthing like that I need to know a litlebit more of my system and how to use it.

 

I'm curently a student, and I'll start my second year of College now.

 

Anyway, I'm here to learn about my own system, and Linux in general. I hope I'm at the right place.

  SLED 10 with gnome panel on the top !
Posted by: anyweb - 2006-08-02, 09:50 PM - Forum: SUSE - Replies (1)


to do this, simply right click on the bottom 'gnome panel' in Suse Linux Enterprise 10,

 

choose 'New Panel'

 

then drag and drop your chosen icons from the Suse menu or the desktop into the panel, you can then resize the panel to suit your needs by clicking on it and choosing 'properties'. Change the pixels down to reduce the size of the panel.

 

cheers !
