Beginners guide screwed|Is impossible to edit large pages on the wiki

When you're trying to edit a large page on the wiki you get this message:
WARNING: This page is 40 kilobytes long; some browsers may have problems editing pages approaching or longer than 32kb. Please consider breaking the page into smaller sections.
Firefox can handle the 40kb but not the 107kb of the Begginers Guide for example.
And when you do a change, if you dont preview it you get a shiny blank page instead of the document.
I was trying to add one line to the Oficcial installation guide and ended up breaking it into two parts (i move the apendix to another page) to be able to recover it's contents.
Some other person form #archlinux that was helping me with this issue also accidentally override the text from the Beginners guide, and we can't roll back it. So, any WikiAdmin can roll back the changes on the Beginners guide? and tell us (the normal users) how to edit long pages.
Thanks

Some other person here, sorry about that accidental Beginner's guide trash up

Got it!

  • I am in Muse 2014.3. When I edit a page, in the preview everything looks fine, but when I upload it to FTP, the page does not change, even when I upload the whole site. Is this a bug? I don't know what to do.

    Hi Jaap,
    Are you sure about your FTP credentials (FTP folder and site URL) that you are using for the upload? Are you able to see the updated files in the remote directory of the FTP server, after you finish uploading the muse file, using an external FTP client like FileZilla?
    Thanks

  • HT5994 I installed Mavericks and lost all my iWork '08 files. Not really lost but they show up with inverted colours, white text, and impossible to edit. Pages 5 appeared to be a great disaster, and can't even open my old files. I want the old iWork back!

    My music editing program Finale can open files from the 90:s. Pages 5 can't open files I made half a year ago in Pages 08.
    Some difference in knowledge there.
    5 years work is gone, if Apple are inable to fix this. Perheps they are?

    Completion: You can change the word "knowledge" to "craftmanship". "Some difference in craftmanship there."
    I have tried to update my former iWork with updates from the app store. Mavericks refuses to open them. Mavericks tells me "Can't open, because they are from an unknown source". My iMac tells me that Apples app store is an unknown source.
    Just can't believe how Apples software developers could get permission to turn somethiing rally, really good to this really mediocre version pages 5. The opposite to development if you ask me.
    What were they thinking?
    I'm angry.

  • I have selected 'Show on edit details page' for the property 'Status Message' for the User Profile Service, yet i do not see the property.

    I would like to have the ability for the user to edit the property 'Status Message'.  In the properties it says that it should be available in the details section however I am not seeing it there.  Does anyone know if I might have something set

  • Beginners Guide Improvement

    I just installed Archlinux and stumbled over two issues following the Beginners Guide.
    No big deal, but still worth to mention, i think.
    I don't feel comfortable as a new user to edit the Beginners Guide myself and therefore
    discuss these issues here first.
    I did read the Beginners Guide while installing. When it came to configure the Xserver,
    i chose the Nvidia driver and configured it immediadiately. It complaint that there was
    no xorg.conf. The xorg.conf will be generated later, following the tutorial. I think this
    should be rearranged somehow.
    The second issue is that after executing nvidia-xconfig, it suggests to start the xserver
    to see if everything works properly, which it didn't, because hal wasn't installed nor
    configured yet, follwing the Beginners Guide. This let me to fiddle around with it a bit
    and several annoying restarts, before i decided to just go on with the Guide, to find
    a good reason why it didn't just worked then. I think there should be a warning not
    to start X after nvidia-xconfig.

    It sounds like you failed to follow the guide, but I am having a difficult time understanding what you want changed. If you followed the order of the guide, wouldn't it have worked out properly?

    Perhaps a note, explaining not to test the server at that point would be appropriate.

  • Arch Linux Beginners Guide

    Remembering the days when I installed Arch Linux for the first time I still feel that Arch misses a guide for beginners. I started one at the Wiki. Its intention is to show how you install and configure Arch Linux until you have a fully working desktop system for multimedia and office purpose. I'm still heavily improving it. If you have any suggestions or critics feel free to drop me a note or add the content to the wiki. If you find some spelling or grammar errors do the same or fix them, I'm no native speaker

    iphitus wrote:article is too big. provide links to existing wiki pages and documentation. If things change and you dont know, your article will be broken.
    Sure...but you will have this problem with all wiki pages. If you don't have a maintainer for bigger articles, the whole idea of the wiki won't work well.
    iphitus wrote:For example, change the install documentation to the install guide. Same goes for network, link to existing pages, and if there isnt one, create one.
    I disagree with this one. I personally like the idea of having one basic guide which will led in most cases to a fully working system and does not stop right after the installation, which will leave you with a single prompt. I tried to explain the "basic things" and give links for digging deeper (I may have failed at this, but I tried and will try again).
    Therefore you are right about linking, but as you may have seen I tried to link to existing pages if they exist and give more than just a basic information. As far as I know no install guide for voodoo exists yet.
    What I really don't want to do, is to create just a meta page that only links to other pages, for three reasons:
    * It's annoying to read if you have to follow a link, get back and follow the next link...
    * Because there is no single maintainer for all the sub pages, you can only link to pages that are known stable, otherwise the beginner will be totally lost fast
    * Some of the other pages are way too technically for a beginner, they quickly start with special things for exotic purposes (mainly because experienced people don't like writing about basic things I believe)
    iphitus wrote:Some of it seems a bit overkill too, you give a newbie style how to for tiny things, but completely gloss over even a basic description of what the "daemons line" is. Newbies using this beginners guide learn bugger all, as they just copy from the beginner guide. When things go wrong, they come to the forums rather than use initiative. I guess the installation and configuration acts as a form of natural selection.
    I think we have a different opinion how a wiki works, I always thought you start with something and improve it over time, when questions or suggestions arrive.
    A wiki will get better if more than one people is involved, therefore sharing and discussing at an early point of time is reasonable.
    On the other hand you are absolutely right about the daemons line, which should be explained for a beginner (EDIT: I added a paragraph about daemons a few moments ago).
    But I think differently about the natural selection. I never felt that Arch Linux aims to be an elitist distribution and that an acceptance test is needed if you want to use it...what I have seen from the community so far, Arch seems in fact to be the opposite. I like Arch for being clean, simple and logical constructed, not for being complicated. I'm too old to get     self-confidence just from installing an operating system.
    If users use the forum to ask the same questions again and again, our beginners guide is incomplete and we should fix it.
    iphitus wrote:Things like:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … or_newbies
    and a better FAQ, would be more useful than yet another blow by blow install tutorial that falls out of date in 6 months.

    This may not be representative, but a better FAQ and Jargon for Newbies (damn, I really love this elite attitude ) wouldn't helped him:
    Someone at my blog wrote:Thanks for the guide! I tried installing Arch over Christmas and had the worst time trying to figure that out. So I of course went back to my trusty Gentoo. I always liked Gentoo because even though its an "advanced distro" they provide you with plenty of documentation. Arch on the other hand does not and that really bothered me. But now that I have a Gentoo style guide, I think I'll try it again!
    Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate your criticism because it makes me think twice about some things and will most probably lead to a better guide.

    Hi,
    I think, Package ZBI_NEW  is a custom development package: probably someone else already transported the application component hierarchy and assigned this package...try to change this. Chk with SE80 > package > ZBI_NEW,If it is not there,create it.
    But the normal practice is change/Edit DSO in DEV-->Quality , then transport to Production.(SE80
    In the drop down, look for Packages,below it type ZBI_* and hit Open.If you don't see ZBI_NEW, then ask BASIS to Create (DEV)and import that Package to QAS->Production)

  • Windows 7 - Large Pages

    While I was performing some benchmarks on my W520, I became aware that there is a function in Windows 7 called Large Pages. Essentially setting this policy for either a single user or a group greatly reduces the TLB overhead when translating memory addresses for applications in storage. The normal page size is 4KB. Large Pages sets the page size to be 2MB. The smaller number was useful when there was only a relatively small physical memory space available in the system (Windows 95, etc). However, as the addressable physical page space becomes larger, the overhead for translating addresses across page boundaries starts to be significant. Linux has an equivalent function.
    Here's a screenshot of where the setting (Lock pages in memory) is located:
     <----------------
    The memory bandwidth benchmark using SiSoftware Sandra 2012 showed a performance increase of 2.04% for normal operations  and a 2.9% increase for floating point operations. This was with only one user enabled. Enabling all users in the system brought an additional .5% performance increase. PCMARK7 also showed a corresponding increase in benchmark performance numbers.

  • Edit events in iCal on Wiki calendar

    I know that it's by default not supported, the editing of events from the Wiki calendar in iCal, but still I wanna know if there's a work around.
    Does anybody know if there's a work around, coding-wise, programming-wise or whatever-wise, to be able to edit events from the Wiki calendar in iCal?
    Now I get a message every time I wanna edit an event that i can't edit it from iCal. But I want other people who sign up to the calendar also to be able to edit the events from their own calendar program.

    Hello there skier3,
    You should be able to edit an event in the Calendars app by tapping the event in quuestion and then tapping edit shown here:
    iCloud: Using iCloud Calendars with Calendar and iCal
    Tap the event to display event details, including the name of the calendar that contains the event:

  • Using hugepages (Large Pages)

    I am trying to leverage this feature in TimesTen v7.0.5 running SUSE Linux v 2.6.5-7.244-smp (gcc version 3.3.3) but with no success.
    I enabled hugepages in Linux:
    vm.nr_hugepages=1024
    vm.disable_cap_mlock=1
    cat /proc/meminfo shows:
    HugePages_Total: 1024
    HugePages_Free: 1024
    Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
    I followed the instructions and set -linuxLargePageAlignment in the daemon options file (ttendaemon.options):
    -linuxLargePageAlignment 2
    However when I start TimesTen, first the daemon and then manual load the database in Ram, I did not see it use any hugepages. cat /proc/meminfo still shows HugePages_Free: 1024.
    I also set /etc/security/limits.conf file properly. However, it differs with documentation is that I did not set /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group since I have a older Linux kernel that hasn't support this param. Instead, I set vm.disable_cap_mlock = 1.
    I appreciate any help you can offer.
    Thanks,
    Wing

    Hi Brian,
    Use of large pages does not impact other parameters within TimesTen; you don't need to change anything with regard to stuff like hash index pages etc. since these are TimesTen 'internal' pages not O/S memory pages. I also do not think use of large pages impacts other kernel parameters such as shmall (I don't recall ever havign to change those when using large pages).
    In order for TimesTen to use large pages several things are required:
    1. The kernel must be configured to enable a suitable number of large pages (vm/nr_hugepages). The way you are doing this is fine but obviously for 'production' use you would configure this in /etc/sysctl.conf (or equivalent)
    2. The TT daemon must be told to use large pages via the -largePageALignment option (you are doing that too).
    3. The number of large pages configured must be large enough to contain the entire TT datastroe segment (PermSize+TempSize+LogBuffSize+~20 Mb). You can see the exact size of the segment via 'ipcs -m'.
    4. The kernel parameter vm/hugetlb_shm_group must be set to the O/S groupid which the user under which the TT main daemon is executing is a member of. For example, I havea group called timesten (gid = 1000) and the Tt instance administrator user is a member og that group. I have vm.hugetlb_shm_group = 1000.
    With all this in place my datastores use large pages with no problem (as confirmed by cat /proc/meminfo after the datastore is loaded). This is all you need to do, nothing more.

  • Can large page improve timesten performance on aix??

    hello, chris:
    Can large page imporove timesten performance on aix? we havenot test it yet, I just want to know whether it is ok?? thank you.

    Enabling large page support on AIX may help performance under some circumstances (typically with large datastores). TimesTen does support use of large pages on AIX and no special action is needed on the TimesTen side to utilise large pages. Here is some information on this which should eventually appear in the TimesTen documentation.
    The TimesTen shared memory segment for AIX has been created with the flags
    ( SHM_PIN | SHM_LGPAGE) necessary for large page support for many releases.
    It used to be the case that special kernel flags needed to be enabled so it
    was never documented as being supported. Subsequent AIX releases have made
    enabling large pages a matter of system administration.
    1) Enable capabilities (chuser)
    2) Configure page pool (vmo -r)
    3) Enable memory pining (vmo -p)
    4) [restart timesten daemons]
    The documentation is quoted below.
    AIX maintains separate 4 KB and 16 MB physical memory pools. You can
    specify the amount of physical memory in the 16 MB memory pool using the vmo
    command. Starting with AIX 5.3, the large page pool is dynamic, so the amount
    of physical memory that you specify takes effect immediately and does not
    require a system reboot. The remaining physical memory backs the 4 KB virtual
    pages.
    AIX treats large pages as pinned memory. AIX does not provide paging
    support for large pages. The data of an application that is backed by large
    pages remains in physical memory until the application completes. A security
    access control mechanism prevents unauthorized applications from using large
    pages or large page physical memory. The security access control mechanism
    also prevents unauthorized users from using large pages for their
    applications. For non-root user ids, you must enable the CAP_BYPASS_RAC_VMM
    capability with the chuser command in order to use large pages. The following
    example demonstrates how to grant the CAP_BYPASS_RAC_VMM capability as the
    superuser:
    # chuser capabilities=CAP_BYPASS_RAC_VMM,CAP_PROPAGATE <user id>
    The system default is to not have any memory allocated to the large page
    physical memory pool. You can use the vmo command to configure the size of
    the large page physical memory pool. The following example allocates 4 GB to
    the large page physical memory pool:
    # vmo -r -o lgpg_regions=64 -o lgpg_size=16777216
    To use large pages for shared memory, you must enable the SHM_PIN shmget()
    system call with the following command, which persists across system reboots:
    # vmo -p -o v_pinshm=1
    To see how many large pages are in use on your system, use the vmstat -l
    command as in the following example:
    # vmstat -l
    kthr memory page faults cpu large-page
    r b avm fre re pi po fr sr cy in sy cs us sy id wa alp flp
    2 1 52238 124523 0 0 0 0 0 0 142 41 73 0 3 97 0 16 16
    From the above example, you can see that there are 16 active large pages, alp, and
    16 free large pages, flp.

  • Swapping performance, and large pages

    I am trying to run glpsol (the standalone solver from the GNU Linear Programming Kit) on a very large model. I don't have enough physical memory to fit the entire model, so I configured a lot of swap. glpsol, unfortunately, uses more memory to parse and preprocess the model than it does to actually run the core solver, so my approximately 2-3GB model requires 11GB of memory to get started. (However, much of this acess is sequential.)
    What I am encountering is that my new machine, running Solaris 10 (11/06) on a dual-core Athlon (64-bit, naturally) with 2GB or memory, is starting up much, much more slowly than my old desktop machine, running Linux (2.6.3) on a single-core Athlon 64 with 1GB of memory. Both machines are using identical SATA drives for swap, though with different motherboard controllers. The Linux machine gets started in about three hours, while Solaris takes 9 hours or more.
    So, here's what I've found out so far, and tried.
    On Solaris, swapping takes place 1 page (4KB) at a time. You can see from this example iostat output that I'm getting about 6-7ms latency from the disk but that each of the reads is just 4KB. (629KB/s / 157 read/s = 4KB/read )

    I didn't find anything I could tune in the Solaris kernel that would increase the granularity at which pages are swapped to disk.
    I did find that Solaris supports large pages (2MB on x64, verified with "pagesize -a"), so I modified glpsol to use larger chunks (16MB) for its custom allocator and used memalign to allocate these chunks at 2MB boundaries. Then I rebooted the system and ran glpsol with
    ppgsz -o heap=2MB glpsol ...I verified with pmap -s that 2MB pages were being used, but only a very few of them.

    etc.There are only 19 large pages listed (a total of 38MB of physical memory.)
    I think my next step, if I don't receive any advice, is to try to preallocate the entire region of memory which stores (most of) the model as a single allocation. But I'd appreciate any insight as to how to get better performance, without a complete rewrite of the GLPK library.
    1. When using large pages, is the entire 2MB page swapped out at once? Or is the 'large page' only used for mapping in the TLB? The documentation I read on swap/paging and on large pages didn't really explain the interaction. (I wrote a dtrace script which logs which pages get swapped into glpsol but I haven't tried using it to see if any 2MB pages are swapped in yet.)
    2. If so, how can I increase the amount of memory that is mapped using large pages? Is there a command I can run that will tell me how many large pages are available? (Could I boot the kernel in a mode which uses 2MB pages only, and no 4KB pages?)
    3. Is there anything I should do to increase the performance of swap? Can I give a hint to the kernel that it should assume sequential access? (Would "madvise" help in this case? The disk appears to be 100% active so I don't think adding more requests for 4KB pages is the answer--- I want to do more efficient disk access by loading bigger chunks of data.)

    I suggest posting this to the opensolaris performance discussion group. Also it would be useful to know if the application is 32 bit or 64 binary.

  • Suggested edit to the Beginners Guide.

    I tried to edit the Beginners guide but don't have permission.
    The section headed 'Manual connection at boot using systemd' [1] is now a dead link, it should point to the new systemd-networkd way of doing things [2].
    Does anyone with permission fancy makng the edit?

    I too discovered this the hard way...
