Could it be that the stats are a little inconsistent? For example, in the RAM section, there is a number for "between 1024mb and 2047mb" and one for "more than 2048mb". So where do the hosts go that have exactly 2GB (=2048MB)? Same thing for swap and CPU. The percentages in the Bogomips section also add up to considerably more than 100%. Probably due to a mixture of unicore and multicore CPUs in the database. One thing that would be interesting is a summary for the kernels: How many people use kernel 2.6.26 or higher? The current kernel statistic is not very helpful in this regard. Who do I have to contact about that? The wiki is currently not working, reporting an SQL syntax error due to a missing DB table...

I have seen that smolt has been added to the 11.0 oss-repo, version 1.1.1.1 which is the same one that OS 11.1 has. But now the question is, how does one run it? I see that it installs a service, but it is "off". I also see it installs a cron job. nimrodel:~ # rcsmolt status Monthly smolt check-in is disabled. What next? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Someone added on the wiki page about smolt http://en.opensuse.org/Smolt how to use it. Currently GUI works with limited functionality, you can send profile, but you can't edit it. GUI is missing even ability to give you password that you can use to login Smolt web page and edit profile there. For now, as explained in article, run in console: smoltSendProfile and pick URL and password when they appear. Be aware that http://www.smolts.org/ is sometines slow, so don't rush to interrupt it if there is nothing on the screen. (if you see last sentence on the wiki, it is copy and paste ;-) ) -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I don't see any mention of the smolt cron job or the smolt service (rcsmolt). I don't know what I have to do to start it.

That part I understand, but I don't know what I have to do before that. That's assuming I already have a profile, it explains how to get the password for the profile I should already have - and I haven't a profile. That wiki needs a dumbs guide. I'm dumb now. >:-) It doesn't explain how to run it the first time, nor how or what to configure. What about the cron job? What about the service? What are they for? Another question I don't understand: how is that project going to know that the several linux installs I have are on the same machine? They will think I have three or four identical machines, and foul the statistics. What happens to the people that install fresh every time? Will they be counted again and again? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Me neither.

Once again: smoltSendProfile it is one time task. Do you need profiler that can pickup all information at once to run as demon, or cron job? No you don't. It is not computer usage profiler, it is hardware data collector and reporting tool. The same as if you would run "hwinfo" and post results on the web page. The only difference is that smolt picks much lesser, and it is the same data in any distro.

Yes it will be counted if you send profile.

If you install openSUSE 11.1 five times and each time you send profile, statistics will be skewed, but if you have openSUSE 10.3, 11.0, 11.1, Fedora 9, 10 and Ubuntu 8.0.4 it will be valid data. It will tell how hardware works under each of them.
What happens to the people that install fresh every time? Will they be counted again and again?
See above. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What about /usr/bin/smoltGui?

nevertheless, see the file list: /etc/cron.d/smolt <======= * /etc/init.d/smolt <======= /etc/smolt /etc/smolt/config.py /etc/smolt/uuid * /usr/bin/rcsmolt * /usr/bin/smoltDeleteProfile * /usr/bin/smoltGui What are they for? ...

Yeah, right :-)

So it is a problem, stats will skew. Stats can not be used to tell makers "see, we have so many users" (http://www.linux.com/feature/118322, search the word "nvidia"). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
