suspend working in 9.3 Pro?
by ken 26 May '05

26 May '05

Does anyone have suspend (either to-RAM or to-disk) working on 9.3 Pro? If so, does it matter which filesystem is used (ext3, reiserfs, etc.)? tnx, ken -- A lot of us are working harder than we want, at things we don't like to do. Why? ...In order to afford the sort of existence we don't care to live. -- Bradford Angier

swap and large file DL
by Ken Schneider 26 May '05

26 May '05

SuSE 9.3 768M mem I have noticed the last couple of days that my system is -not- using any swap. Very strange. Swap is being enabled at boot: <6>Adding 1052632k swap on /dev/cciss/c0d0p2. Priority:42 extents:1 <6>Adding 2104504k swap on /dev/hdb2. Priority:42 extents:1 ------------------------------------------------------------ Downloaded a DVD iso file over 3 gig in size using firefox but the file size after download was only 2 gig. Downloaded same file using konqueror and the file size is correct. Anyone else experience either of these two strange behavior? -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

The following code generates output: Creating thread 0 Creating thread 1 Creating thread 2 Creating thread 3 Creating thread 4 while the same binary works fine on other linux machines. anyone has a solution ? I compiled with gcc -pthread and icc -pthread, both have the same problem. /****************************************************************************** * FILE: hello.c * DESCRIPTION: * A "hello world" Pthreads program.

I like smpppd, if only for the kinternet applet. Having control from the toolbar is handy. I just need to know how to set up the interaction between smpppd and pppoe.

Most tenacious settings for smpppd and pppoe
by Michael James 26 May '05

26 May '05

What are the most tenacious settings for smpppd and pppoe? I have a home server that I want up 24/7 If the pppoe internet connection drops out I want it to re-connect. If that fails I want it to keep trying. Waiting a minute or 5 between tries is no problem, but I want it to keep trying forever. key files are: /etc/ppp/options /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-dsl0 /etc/sysconfig/network/providers/provider0 Thanks for any tips, michaelj -- Michael James michael.james(a)csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166 Internet Explorer is fine for downloading Firefox, but after that....
