[opensuse-factory] big difference in virtual memory footprint?
by Per Jessen 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

I have two xen hosts - host1 is 32bit, quad xeons, 16Gb RAM, running 12.1+updates, kernel 3.1.9-1.4-xen. (I'm pretty certain I've built xen from source on this one). host2 is 64bit, quad xeons, 32Gb RAM, also 12.1+updates, kernel 3.3.0-2-xen. (from factory) I've noticed that the virtual footprints of a few processes are _significantly_ different from host1 to host2: Host2: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2769 root 20 0 705m 20m 1508 S 0 4.1 0:02.94 xend 2768 root 20 0 123m 12m 784 S 0 2.5 0:00.00 xend 2770 root 20 0 181m 7224 7052 S 0 1.4 0:00.31 blktapctrl 1 root 20 0 37180 4160 1916 S 0 0.8 0:00.89 systemd 2471 root 20 0 4094m 3848 2788 S 0 0.8 0:00.11 console-kit-dae 2543 root 20 0 184m 3052 2516 S 0 0.6 0:00.08 polkitd 882 root 20 0 315m 1456 1032 S 0 0.3 0:00.13 rsyslogd Host1: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 5023 root 20 0 71260 10m 1644 S 0 4.1 0:00.90 xend 5022 root 20 0 13952 7788 836 S 0 2.9 0:00.00 xend 2066 root 20 0 90160 3292 2644 S 0 1.2 0:00.06 console-kit-dae 2133 root 20 0 24304 2716 2328 S 0 1.0 0:00.60 polkitd 1 root 20 0 5148 2548 1856 S 0 0.9 0:00.62 systemd 735 root 20 0 40116 1260 948 S 0 0.5 0:00.10 rsyslogd For instance, xend on host2 appears to have a virtual footprint of more than 10 times that of xend on host1. Look at rsyslogd too. Is this is really just due to 32 vs 64bit architecture? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed / KDE4.8.2
by Achim Gratz 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

Tumbleweed started to update packages to KDE4.8.2, but this version seems to only partially build. For instance, kdebase4 is only available as a source package for version 4.8.2. Can somebody please check what's going on? I really don't want to wreck my installation with a mixed KDE install if possible.

[opensuse-factory] plymouth quirks with NVidia proprietary driver
by Sid Boyce 28 Apr '12

28 Apr '12

On 3 x86_64 systems:- * rebooting new kernel with systemd and plymouth. * nouveau loaded and I needed to install the proprietary nvidia 295.40 after a zypper dup had overwritten /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so. * plymouth progress stops. * Alt-F1 keyboard inactive for login but CTRL-ALT-DEL works. * Only login access is via ssh from another box. * If there is no xorg.conf nouveau gets loaded. If there is a xorg.conf nouveau modules not loaded. * Kill X and kdm if noveau is loaded. * Nvidia driver package now installs. * Reboot into KDE either reboot command over ssh or CTRL-ALT-DEL on local box. I suppose if there isn't a route to login via ssh, booting from CD/DVD and creating a dummy xorg.conf wold be the only recourse. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] Recent hardware incompatibilities
by Sid Boyce 28 Apr '12

28 Apr '12

Recently I have tried using Asus Sabertooth 990FX and Gigabyte 990FX motherboards and experienced problems. They both need IOMMU disabled in the BIOS in order to boot. The Sabertooth will work with the nouveau driver but the proprietary NVidia driver won't work as the NVidia card is detected as a AMD Radeon. I learned later that the Sabertooth BIOS says Windows, other boards have Windows and Other OS's support. I took this up with the Asus Tech Support dummies but they seemed like dumb dummies rather than smart dummies (Tm Amdahl). The Gigabyte board works with both the nouveau and the proprietary NVidia driver. I suspect these quirks are due to incompatibilities in the BIOS for these new motherboards. Any comments or recommendations on Linux compatible motherboards with modern chipsets. Intel a better solution that AMD perhaps? Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] Significan regression in Yast speed since 11.4
by Ilya Chernykh 28 Apr '12

28 Apr '12

Hi! When I first updated the system to 11.4 I was very much impressed with Yast package manager speed compared to 11.3. But after later updates the speed decreased very much. Now Yast on my 12.1 desktop works many times slower than on my 11.4 laptop! Yast2 in 11.4 is exceptionally fast. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
