For some reason, parts of my system are now slowing down to an agonizing crawl from time to time. At first it was my VMWare Server 1.04, which became such a pain that I rebooted. Then, it looked like it was a network-induced thing because the prime culprit was SeaMonkey, particularly with multiple tabs open. I did an ifdown and ifup on my NIC and that seemed to help for a while. But then it

Earlier this evening, I had the interesting experience of shutting down my machine (because of that lp out-of-sync problem, discussed elsewhere), and watching it not come back up. I admit that I changed out one of my DVD writers for another one, but I don't understand how that could have had any effect on this: When I restarted the machine, it came up to the point where it normally shows:

Hello All. Below are some compile times for 2.6.20 on an fx-62 running Centos64 with various 2 gig sticks of dual channel ram (See previous posts with subject of 'segfaults with 8gig of ram' for more details.) It seems dual channel will compile a kernel faster, but only gained around 30 seconds over 20 minutes. Below are the shortest/longest compile times of several compiles done over the

So I just got ahold of an old e-Machine (Model EL1600) with 1GB of memory. I was going to install CEntOS on it and try to run VirtualBox for other OS'es. I am curious to know if I have to stick with the 2GB "max" the specs say the machine can take or if its possible to install a 4GB module that is designed the same? In other words I have seen 2GB DDR PC2700 memory that will fit

In the vein of the "Can't get resolution higher than 1280x1024" and "Another CentOS 5 oddity..." threads, I just installed CentOS5 w/Xen kernel on a Sony VAIO desktop with an nVidia NV5M64 (RIVA TNT2 64 Pro) card, using an old Samsung SyncMaster 700NF monitor. system-config-display chose the highest possible resolution for the monitor and Xorg did its best to drive it, but

I have begun to notice that the smartd stalls my machine's boot process for as much as 2-3 minutes while it is coming up. I have the BIOS SMART function enabled, and I removed the bad SG400GB drive from the box yesterday, but I think this goes back farther than that. Why does it take so long? Is the BIOS SMART involved in this (and how)? Also, sendmail and sm-client take 30s-2m to come up

Hey folks, I'm trying to compare my small company's policy against other companies out there. We pay 10% of your per-hour salary equivalent per every hour you carry it, whether it goes off or not. So for example someone making $55K/year works out to about $27 / hour (I think), so they'd get $2.70 for every hour they carry the pager outside of regular work hours. We are a company

Today I've got first video clips made by the camera and compressed "on the fly" - 1280x1024x30fps. Image quality is far from perfect - I don't have yet any way to preview images, and a single acquisition still requires a bunch of commands. So I'm really close to have a camera that will be able to serve the Ogg/Theora streams, now but will it be possible to play it on a PC? I

Has anyone with an nvidia video card had issues with CentOS 5 so far? I've been holding off on installing 5 at home because of the trouble I've been having with my video here at work, but here I have that lovely ATI card and there I have a geFORCE 7100gs and am, so far, successfully using the nvidia driver with CentOS 4.4 without significant problems. Just wondering.... -- Mark

Hello Peter & Jeremy, I've found an ordinary desktop PC (with Phoenix Award BIOS 6.00PG) that won't boot off a USB stick created by livecd-tools-024 with syslinux (tested both versions 3.75 and 3.81). The boot process drops to the "boot:" prompt with an error message: could not find kernel image: linux The same USB stick boots fine on any other computer I could find.

Hi everyone, today I got an e-mail from a company claiming that my server is doing port scans on their firewall machine. I found that hard to believe so I started checking the box. The company rep told me that the scan was originating at port 80 with destination port 8254 on their machine. I couldn't find any hints as to why that computer was subject to the alleged port scans.

I''m a fan of ZFS since I''ve read about it last year. Now I''m on the way to build a home fileserver and I''m thinking to go with Opensolaris and eventually ZFS!! Apart from the other components, the main problem is to choose the motherboard. The offer is incredibly high and I''m lost. Minimum requisites should be: - working well with Open Solaris ;-) -

Dear All I'm having problem with some script which worked a few months ago (on a different computer that might well have had a different version of R installed, so perhaps it has to do with the old version of R?): library(reshape) Loading required package: plyr > tble.data <- melt.array(interp, varnames=c("tme","lon","lat")) > > allyrs.interp <-

Hi, I have been having a fairly serious problem with an HP Netserver LH3 that seems to hang for no apparent reason. This happens when the machine is under load and it also happens when it is simply idle. When this "hang" occurs I can no longer SSH to the box. I can ping it and port scan it and it appears to be "alive" but it won't load web pages or process mail

Award BIOS 6.00PG, CD-ROM configured as first boot device CD-ROM on IDE-1, master variable: hard disk drive on IDE-0, master no other IDE devs, no SCSI if i boot with the HDD installed, ISOLINUX boots the CD OK with DL=9F. if i remove the HDD, ISOLINUX fails to load the spec packet and can't ``wing it'' with DL=9F.

Dear all, apply(X, MARGIN, FUN, ...) returns an array of dimension c(n, dim(X)[MARGIN]) when FUN returns a vector of length n > 1. Matrices and arrays are also vectors, so if FUN returns a matrix or an array, apply returns an array of dimension c(n, dim(X)[MARGIN]) as above. This is in accordance with the description of apply in the Blue Book, and also how Splus works (at least v6.0). I am

Hello everybody, I've got a bit of a problem with parLapply that's left me scratching my head today. I've tried this in R 2.11 and the 23 bit Revolution R Enterprise and gotten the same result, OS in question is Windows XP, the package involved is the snow package. I've got a list of 20 rain/no rain (1/0) situations for these two stations i and j, all the items in this list look
