RE: Network speed.
by Matthew Stringer 19 Dec '03

19 Dec '03

Hi, I've got a weird problem which I can't figure out. I've about 15 PC's on a LAN running game servers (all roughly the same hardware and OS (dual P3 800, 1 GB RAM, UDMA hard disk, Suse Linux). All the network ports are set to force 100Mb/s Full Duplex on the switch and servers. If I transfer files between the machines using a default install of ProFTPD I get about 10 to 20 MB/s transfer speed. However some are about 200KB/s and I can't think why. I've tried different NIC's and OS'es but nothing will speed them up. If I FTP to localhost and copy a file to itself they're quicker but still slow. Speed tests on the hard disk says that they're running at the same speed as each other. I'm not having any problems with the boxes they're very stable, just some of them are dog slow which doesn't help when you have very demanding gamers wanting to play their games with zero lag! Also why is there a difference in speed between the get and put commands even when the files are going in the same direction. Thanks in advance. Matthew

Activate xinetd PROBLEM
by Alain Barthélemy 19 Dec '03

19 Dec '03

Hi, SuSE-8.2 Yast2 -> Network Basic click-click -> Start inet service click-click -> activate click-click -> service ftp in.ftpd or vsftpd click-click running -> leave Yast2 root# /etc/init.d/xinetd status : not running root# /etc/init.d/xinetd start root# /etc/init.d/xinetd status : running (the first time) root# /etc/init.d/xinetd status : not running (immediately after) Thus impossible to have the xinetd daemon running. I had the same problem one month ago and somebody sent a screenshot on how to click-click in Yast2 and it worked. I could have Ftp connection between my laptop and my main post. Then suddenly the xinetd daemon stopped to work. Where do I have to click-click or which god do I have to pray to convince Yast2 to have the xinetd daemon working. Don't mention SSH or SCP which I know. I just want to transfer files quickly with MC (Midnight Commander). Thanks for any suggestion. -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre(a)bartydeux.be http://www.bartydeux.be Linux User #315631

make menuconfig loops ??
by Per Jessen 19 Dec '03

19 Dec '03

Hi, I have a problem trying to build a kernel. It appears that make menuconfig starts to loop - after writing "Preparing scripts: functions, parsing ...done." This is 2.4.23, jfs114, gcc3.3.2. What stuns me is - on this system I have already built 2.4.23, and it is running just fine. The second build is for a different target system, and the sourcetree is (obviously) in a different directory. 1. /usr/src/linux (symlink to linux-2.4.23) - no problems. 2. /data1/linux (symlink to linux-2.4.23) - loops. Filesystem in both cases is JFS, /data1 is mountpoint for /dev/hda4 whereas /dev/hda1 is root. This is a SuSE9.0 system - I have never seen this behaviour before on any previous SuSE system. I've straced the 'make menuconfig' and it is quite clearly looping. Can anyone point me in the right direction or help me try to solve this?? I'm not at all certain this has anything to do with SuSE9.0, but just in case. thanks, Per Jessen, Zurich http://www.dansklisten.org

Kaffeine and sound
by Kaare Rasmussen 19 Dec '03

19 Dec '03

Am I the only one who gets no sound when listening to wmv files with Kaffeine, or is it a common problem ? If you succesfully look AND hear wmv, could you send me an url, so I can decide if it's my installation that's gone wrong ? Sound works for other applications like mplayer - but mplayer won't show wmv files.

Well, that's the other way around actually. This is a FAQ item -- excerpt from Dave Jones' post Halloween document about the 2.6 kernel at http://www.linux.org.uk/~davej/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt: - Jens Axboe added the ability to use DMA for writing CDs on ATAPI devices. Writing CDs should be much faster than it was in 2.4, and also less prone to buffer underruns and the like. - With a recent cdrecord, you also no longer need ide-scsi in order to use an IDE CD writer. - Ripping audio tracks off of CDs now also uses DMA and should be notably faster. You can also find an updated cdda2wav at: *.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/axboe/tools/ - Send good/bad reports of audio extraction with cdda2wav and burning with the cdrecord to Jens Axboe <axboe(a)suse.de> - Currently only 'open by device name' works in cdrecord. cdrecord -dev=/dev/hdX -inq - More info at http://lwn.net/Articles/13538/ & http://lwn.net/Articles/13160/ Much more info can be found in linux-kernel mailinglist archives where I've heard Jens say over and over and over again that ide-scsi is dead, and the only usage is some people who's tape driver applications have not been fixed. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogical, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.

Well, I guess that will teach me to answer the question that was actually asked, rather than the question I want to answer :-)
