Hi, I just installed suse 9.2 on a dual p3 computer.. I used the top command it only show cpus.. how do i know if my install is using the dual processors? In rh it shows cpu1 cpu2 but for suse it shows cpus.. Did i install it right or do i need to get some other suse 9.2 version for dual processors? thanks henry

start xosview
that command doesn't work.. start doesn't even work.

Press the 1 key (man top also helps). -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
Yup, you are right.. i should read the man page more carefully.. thanks for the pointer, and 1 did work.. i am silly henry John Andersen wrote:

Its hardly the same thing. Top will tell you how much each cpu is being used it quasi-real-time. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Right, but it's the same in his question context (how do i know if my install is using the dual processors?)

I'm not so sure. All cat /proc/cpuinfo will do is tell you how many CPUs you HAVE not necessarily how many are being used. If you put a uni-processor kernel on a dual processor machine what does cat /proc/cpuinfo show? I remember BeOS you could dynamically shut down one cpu and see their equivelent of Top, show one processor going full bore and the other doing nothing. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

start xosview
xosview has -nothing- to do with top. To show multiple CPU's press the 1 key followed by W to save the view (settings). You can use h to view all available settings. -- 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

I've been there at one stage while upgrading my system's hardware. It will show only one CPU.

Mine showed two cpus by pressing 1, but i don't remember selecting uni or multi processor kernel during install. Is this something that Suse 9.2 detect and install?

If you have two CPUs or an HT CPU SuSE will automatically install the SMP kernel. -- 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

Correct. But if you install SuSE on a single, non-HyperThreading processor and then upgrade your system with a HT CPU, you will be in the situation where only one processor core will be active and /proc/cpuinfo will show only a single CPU. To fully exploit your new hardware, you have to use YaST to install the SMP kernel (and then most likely use YOU to upgrade it to the latest available kernel). That's what happened to me.
