Memory eaten

SuSE 9.0 Pro. 256MB RAM. When I run Firefox and do a lot of downloading, my swap slowly increases. When it hits 70MB - 100MB my machine basically locks up, except for shell windows which run fine. Firefox will not respond, even if I kill all other killable apps. If I force kill Firefox (kill -9) the swap decreases slightly, but the box remains pretty unresponsive until reboot. Is this a known Firefox problem? Is there anything I can do to alleviate this?

Even those who write the books say it is,um,"quirky" and at least somewhat dificult touse because of the way it was created.However there is a huge repositery of scripts already created and available from a similar location to the Bash files repositery mentioned in an earlier message. Some other good list member will have to give you the url tho, I haven't got it in my head. And dont have a browser in my handheld here.

Problem with k3b - help asked
by Alain Barthélemy 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Hi, Apparently, those who made K3B only know one word: *Success* even if you only have one second of burning and nothing on the DVD. I lost a lot of time till I found that I had a (true) successfull burning when the iso file size does not exceed about 2,5 Gb and a (false) successfull burning (I insist "false" even when K3B says the contrary) when I have an iso file size of about 3.5 Gb. What must I do to burn files greater than 2.5 Gb? Thank you -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre(a)bartydeux.be http://www.bartydeux.be Linux User #315631

Clustering my two linux servers.
by Prabu Subroto 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Hi... I have 2 servers. One is SuSE Enterprise Server 8.0 and another is SuSE Linux 8.2 . I want to make clustered Servers, so if one is failed (down) than the other will takeover the tasks of the failed server automatically. Any body have a good experience in doing that with SuSE Linux? I need a recommendation which product I should use. I don't want to be trapped into a device driver problem and I also don't want to be trapped into a usage complication. Please give me your advices... Thank you very much in advance. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!

Should I convert the kiosk PC to ext3? Or am I > missing something in my ReiserFS setup? I'm having very similar problems resulting in my filesystems containing /var and /home being corrupted several times - very disappointing. Making an "reiserfsck --rebuild-tree" gives me most of the file systems back but I always end up with a bunch of files in lost+found and some really lost files. I'm using SuSE 9.0, kernel 2.4.21-202-default. The file systems are created on volumes of lvm-1.0.7-105, and the file systems use reiserfs-3.6.9-33. On an IBM T40 thinkpad which of course shouldn't matter. Any hint would be highly appreciated. > Brad B-- CLE Regards, -- Ejnar

Help. I Need a mirror of my ftp/www site
by Guillermo Ballester Valor 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I build usually some rpm packages for SuSE distribution (not Official) and put it in my home ftp/www server. I also have an apt-repository See: http://www.oxixares.com/apt_en.html ftp://ftp/oxixares.com/pub It seems people like the rpms and they download them. And this is the problem, my line is being blocked because of too many clients downloading packages in a 128 Kbps ADSL line. I thought it would be a big help if any of you provide me a mirror site (free). I have a rsync server to help in mirroring the site. Please, contact me in private mail if you want mirorring my site.
