Suggestion: Disable the unused bluetooth interface with the following command:

Bluetooth is a radio and consumes quite some power, and keeps USB busy as well.
this:
<kernel IPI> : Rescheduling interrupts
is the mount active process. i don't think this is normal, because in my last distro (Ubuntu) this didn't happen..
Can someone give me some kind of explication..

It will always be the most as it's a current problem. There is a kernel patch to make it less frequent that I just did and it's working pretty well.

  • Will a Dual Monitor config. affect system performance?

    I have an ATI Mac SE card installed [256 megs] in my dual G5 with 4 gigs of system ram.
    Will a second monitor on the card affect system performance in any way?
    thanks.
    -ptfigg.

    Paul,
    How I distribute things depends on the size and relationship of the monitors.
    One of the great things about FCP is you can save a great number of custom setups so, just play around and SAVE each set up. You can always delete ones that don't do it for you later.

  • System-config-printer-gnome freezes when trying to "Add" a printer

    I have the same issue that was discussed in the thread system-config-printer-gnome utility freezes when "adding" printer. Specifically, when I try to add a printer using system-config-printer gui, the window freezes and throws back the following code:
    mechoid9@ordinateur:~$ system-config-printer

    The solution mentioned was to use the CUPS web interface. This lets me add a printer (which is part of the solution), this is not the complete solution. I've used the utility before, and I'm comfortable with it, and I think that I should be able to use the gnome utility to add the printer if everything on my system is up to date (which it is, as of this posting). I would like to know why it doesn't work anymore (and I'm of the impression that it has something to do with how I've installed python on my system).
    I've googled the issue, and perhaps I didn't look around thoroughly enough, but I couldn't find a solution. So if somebody knows where to look I'd be glad to look there.

    I have the same problem. I noticed that it occured only after installing the following driver packages.
    hpoj-0.91-16 hplip-3.11.3-1 net-snmp-5.6.1-1 foomatic-db-engine-4.0.6_20101215-1 foomatic-db-4.0.6_20101215-1
    I did a workaround by installing the printer using the webinterface, removing the drivers again, setting the samba login details and then reinstalling the drivers.
    But this problem should really be fixed.

    and the other being the issue where IOS can return the prompt before it's done unpacking the files
    Ok, now what EXACTLY is the appliance and IOS version?  The only time I know of this bug is the Metro Ethernet (ME) switches and when the current appliance is upgraded FROM an IOS version 15.2(1)S.  
    But there is a "workaround" which Cisco doesn't want to publish (don't ask me why not):  Use "archive tar /x" and, optionally, delete the old IOS sub-directory.
    Personally, I wouldn't recommend anyone using the "copy the BIN file" method unless you know what you are doing or you've put extra measures in place.  The "archive /x tar" and/or "archive download-sw" was developed so that it could be automated and the operator can see the result at the end.  The "copy the BIN file" method doesn't give anyone a result whether or not the file was copied or not or was the file copied completely.  
    Regularly, I would upgrade our switches (2960/2960S, ME-3800X, 3560E/3560CG, 3750X) fleet using the "archive download-sw" method and I don't use scripts.  I just copy-and-paste the command.  So far, since 2009, I've "lost" only 6 switches when I upgraded the switch to upgrade the wrong file (another IOS bug on it's own) and I had to physically show up and upgrade using ROMmon.  Every time I would upgrade, about 900 switches (some in a stack), it would take me about 4 days.  Even though I work with three guys who's very good at almost any scripting but we've come to a unanimous conclusion NOT to use scripting.  
    Moving on, if "copy the BIN file" is still a preferred choice, I would like to know how do you go about verifying the file was copied completely?  Whenever I resort to the "copy the BIN file", I ensure the file copied is complete by verifying the MD5 hash value against the MD5 hash value found in the Cisco website.  Trust me, adding this additional "layer" of security saved me doing ROMmon upgrade so many times.  

  • Gnome: Trouble with system-config-printer

    Hello all
    I have trouble setting up my printers using system-config-printer in Gnome... I added some screenshots to the bottom of this post. When I try to add the Generic CUPS-PDF printer, the "Next" button is disabled and I am not allowed to continue. When I try to add the HP printer that is on my home network (as recognised by the config) the application throws some sort of runtime error (in terminal) and doesn't update the screen or allow me to continue.
    Before moving to Arch a few weeks ago, I used Ubuntu 8.04, and it had a very different application for configuring printers (although it was also called system-config-printer). Preferably, I'd just get that application back for configuring printers, it was much more intuitive and above all it actually worked.
    I would like to know how to solve my problem of not being able to add the printers I want and how to get the Ubuntu printer config on Arch if that is possible at all.
    Thanks

    Hmm.. It doesn't really make sense to me that I need a webbrowser to configure a printer, but I gave it a try. When I tried adding the CUPS-PDF printer, it asked me what brand it was in the second step. This can't be right. When I tried adding the HP printer that is on my network, it automatically selected the correct driver from a list, but when I chose to continue it asked me for a username and a password, and providing my own did not work. So this method failed for both printers. I would really love to get back the old configuration menu from Ubuntu at this point.

    The GTK theme is a personal modification of Fresh Dark that removes the Aurora style scrollbar, uses bigger icons and has nicer progress bars.
    The font I use is Myriad Pro with slight hinting enabled.
    The icon theme is my own mash-up of many tango-styled themes and a few custom icons and improved icons from other themes. You'll find icons there from gnome-colors, gnome-icon-theme, ubuntu-studio, and stuff found randomly on the internet and more. I'm not done perfectioning the theme though, but it's come a long way.

    OEL4.5 would randomly hang (fall offf horse, wander around in daze), lvm/vgscan reported Dup...PV and bad metadata, fixed by excluding all but Genuine LVM partitions in lvm.conf
    But now no system-config-lvm - makes me nervous.
    Any ideas, suggestions, revealations?

    Some new developments...
    When setting up a partition for a new OEL5 install, I did a sector-by-sector copy of the partition holding VolGroup00 to an (I thought) unused partition. Subsequently on OEL4.5 boot, the lvm used the back-up VolGroup vice the original, a fact overlooked by me. The low speed backup partition held the mounted Volume Group, not the high speed original partition—and I didn't notice any difference, but then I didn't stress test it either.
    This fact came to light when upgrading OEL4.5 kernel failed when NVIDIA install script couldn't find the kernel-develop… modules, linux.oracle.com & up2date downloaded the regular kernel-develop… but not the kernal-smp-develop…. This resulted in a kernel corruption of some sort, causing a kernel panic by lvm at boot, VolGroup00 not found.
    The older kernel in OEL4.5 still booted, but now the server would randomly freeze. Fortunately the OEL5.1 installation worked well, and between the two, all this was sorted out—except for the random freeze now also occurring in the kernel updated OEL4.5. Required redownload of kernel rpms and manual download/install for the kernel-smp-develop…
    I think I have the freeze problem solved—apparently related to the crond calling …/lib64/sa every five minutes to update statistics for sar. Not sure because no clue from the logs.
    It was a weird freeze—no screen update except if you pressed a key on the keyboard or changed the mouse pointer focus, then is would unfreeze for a very short period.
    I cannot say it was fun, but my 10gR2 is back running which is why I need the OEL4.5.
    KISE
    Some things learned:
    system-config-lvm (the GUI) can fail with warning if there are configuration errors.
    Watch boot details for lvm messages, (Alt-D) and periodically check lvm: vgscan, lvscan, vgs, & lvs.
    When doing a sector-by-sector partition backup that contains an lvm, make it "not available" and filter it out in lvm.conf, although lvm messages can show up in boot details, the server is not supposed to use a "restricted" partition.
    Having a separate (including seperate boot loader) linux installation is really penguin cool.

  • System-config-printer-gnome utility freezes when "adding" printer.

    I've just started adding my wireless printer to my desktop, and while reading about CUPS in the archwiki, I discovered "system-config-printer-gnome".

    Does anyone know what could be wrong? I've done some Googling, but couldn't find anything related to this. I also couldn't find anything related to setting up a wireless printer manually with CUPS, so this way seemed the easiest way of adding a printer. Thanks
    P.S. I am using GNOME, and all my packages are up to date.

    skunktrader wrote:Did you try pointing your browser at http://localhost:631/admin and attempt to add your printer from there?
    Oh wow. That worked perfectly! I guess when I saw that in the wiki I assumed that it was for USB or parallel port printers since I saw "localhost". Sorry to waste thread space!
    Thanks so much guys!
    P.S. I feel like such a noob

  • HttpBinding not working when HttpHandler tag is present in web.config file

    Hi,
    I tried to add a WCF service in WCF Test Client using HttpBinding. But I couldn't add the service. I got the below error.
    There was an error downloading 'http://localhost/Services/PostOffice.svc/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/$metadata'.
    The request failed with an empty response.
    Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost/Services/PostOffice.svc'.
    The server did not provide a meaningful reply; this might be caused by a contract mismatch, a premature session shutdown or an internal server error.
    If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.
    I removed the below code in the Web.Config, later I was able to add the WCF service to the WCF test client.
    <httpHandlers>
    <add type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpHandler, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" path="Telerik.ReportViewer.axd" verb="*" validate="true" />
    </httpHandlers>
    I'm not sure with the above code. Could you please let me what is the reason behind it and what is the use of above code and if I remove it how does it affect my application.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sandeep Pinniti,
    Please try to add the following config in your config file:
    <system.webServer>
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
    The validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" will allow us to keep our httpHandlers section populated without throwing an error. And I have tested in my side,
    it works fine.

  • How to read the content of my application.exe.config?

    hi,
    I have a program named "AMF.exe",
    in my project i have added a app.config file and here is the content:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <configuration>

    <bindings>
    <basicHttpBinding>
    <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IWcfService" />

    I know app.config will become to AMF.exe.config when application is running,
    so i try the code as below:
    string applicationName = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0];
    Debug.Print(string.Format("applicationName = {0}", applicationName));
    string exePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, applicationName);
    // Get the configuration file. The file name has
    // this format appname.exe.config.
    System.Configuration.Configuration config =
    ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(exePath);
    string sectionName = "client";
    if (config.Sections[sectionName] != null)
    //config.Sections[sectionName] always be null
    but config.Sections["client"] always be null;
    I want to catch the information of this:
    <endpoint address="http://localhost:8000/WcfService.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding"
    bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IWcfService" contract="AMFService.IWcfService"
    name="BasicHttpBinding_IWcfService" />
    could somebody tell me how to do this?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi,
    you can use something like that
    System.ServiceModel.Configuration.ServiceModelSectionGroup group = System.ServiceModel.Configuration.ServiceModelSectionGroup.GetSectionGroup(config);
    System.ServiceModel.Configuration.ClientSection client = group.Client;
    System.ServiceModel.Configuration.ChannelEndpointElementCollection endpoints = client.Endpoints;
    System.ServiceModel.Configuration.ChannelEndpointElement firstEndpoint = endpoints[0];
    System.ServiceModel.Configuration.ChannelEndpointElement secondEndpoint = endpoints[1];

  • AE CS4 on OSX 10.5 Very Slow, Makes System Unresponsive

    This is very frustrating, our company has been fighting this problem since we upgraded.  I work for a major broadcaster which uses AE for all our motion graphics work.  Since upgrading to CS4 we've experienced a team wide decrease in productivity.  AE CS4 renders slower than CS3 and in some cases will completely lock up the computer when rendering, making it impossible to do any sort of simple multitasking.  Even switching to the Finder and moving around windows is very slow.  Let alone try to use Safari or type into a TextEdit document.  We've tried everything, but details first.
    We're running on last-gen 8-core 3.2GHz Mac Pro's.  Each has 10GB of ram and 1TB of HD space (mostly empty).  NVidia GeForce 8800 GT video card.  Runing AE 9.0.2.42)
    We realize that 10GB is not enough ram to use all 8 processors at full speed.  So AE is set to use multiprocessing with a max of 3 cores with 2GB minimum with 2 GB in reserve for other applications.  All the work we do is with HD footage.  All footage is delivered in Apple Prores.  Any comp of medium or greater complexity will completely slow down the system.  When comparing CS3 rendering time to CS4, CS4 seems about 30-40% slower. When rendering CS4 will also completely lock up the system, switching windows is a complete pain.  We've tried turing on and off OpenGL in AE, but no change.  We're tried every combination of settings we can think of.   Rendering without multiprocessing is even slower and still locks up the system. Also in Activity Monitor is will often show only limited CPU useage (see attached screen).  You can see I'm running multiple aeselflink instances, but each one is no where near 100 and the system is still unresponsive!
    Outside of rendering CS4 also is much more unresponsive when just working (not rendering).  Moving clips around in the composition window and navigating the timeline are sometimes a chore, with lots of 1-2 second delays before taking the action.  Or slow screen updates.
    Any ideas what is happening here?  If is something with the change from 32-bit to 64-bit.  Will more ram fix it or is there something else going on?  This is becoming a very frustrating situations where we have to completely restart the computer and make sure no other apps are running before even trying to render our anything.  CS3 did not seem to have these problems, even with multiprocessing turned on at it's default settings.  We like many of the new features in CS4 and are practically required to use it because we get a lot of projects from vendors, but it's proving very slow to work in. 

    I don't know how complex your comps are, but our are usually pretty complex.  Simple comps with just text and 1-2 layers of video usually go pretty quick, but as soon as you ramp up complexity it slows way down.  I somehow don't think that our graphics card is the problem.  Most of the plugins we use do not see any benefit from OpenGL and we don't use that many 3D layers.  In general we haven't seen a big boost in AE performance with OpenGL on or off.  All our footage sits on a super fast Terrablock system with at least 300-400mb/s sequential read speeds.  Then again it could be that AE just runs poorly on Macs.
    Adolfo - we have done some quite extensive benchmarks with all our machines here.  Configuring both 10GB and 16GB versions (we have not tried higher memory yet).  We tested the same comp in both CS3 and CS$ with various multiprocessor settings.  Our test file's complexity was indicative of the kind of projects we do.  Around 30 layers, a mix of TGA sequences with alpha, QuickTimes with alpha (animation) and ProRes footage.  Many layers with ReelSmart Motion Blur.  A Knoll Light Factory lens flare.  A mix of layers with various blurs and color correction and some transfer modes.
    As you can see CS3 was much, much quicker at rendering the project.  In some cases almost twice as fast as CS4.  Also, strangely CS3 ran better limited to 4 processors in both the 10GB and 16GB configurations.

  • Automatic payment config and run problem

    hi friends,
    Now the payments are generating on one bank account 123456, now client wants to post if the vendor payment morethan $1000 send through another bank account 987654 both are currency USD only and in bank determination(fbzp) the config is
    bank   pm   curr 
    H101   T     USD
    H101   T            (empty)   
    now the requirement is same as above config only bank account number changed.
    am trying to do the config but system doesnt allowing the duplicates,
    please tell me how i can acheive this problem.
    Regards,
    Pd

    hi,
    here my problem is if the payment is morethan $1000 use bank account no.987654 , and if the payment is lessthan $1000 use bank account no.123456.
    both accounts are in USD only and GL account(bank subaccount) also different.
    In Bank determination --> bank accounts am unable to give the same
    For ex:
    House bank    PM     Curr          accid         subaccount
    DRE          S     USD     GIRO     113201
    DRE          S          GIRO     113202
    here one more i create like below (is it possible)
    DRE          S     USD     SIRO     113233

  • JNLP & System Cache

    Hello,
    I have installed a JNLP app into the system cache and it fails to run under the administrator account in Windows XP SP2. But when I install it to the administrator's user cache the JNLP app works fine. Also, if I install the JNLP app to a normal user's cache, an exception appears and it is the same as when trying to run the JNLP app in the system cache when logged in as an administrator. The exception is java.lang.NullPointerException. I should mention that I do not have the source code to the JNLP app, it is a freely available physics simulation, Phet, http://www.colorado.edu/physics/phet/web-pages/index.html. I am trying to distribute it to a school's network, so our physics teacher can utilize it in his classes.
    So does anybody have any ideas why a JNLP app would not work from the system cache, even when logged in as an administrator?
    Thanks

  • Use GUI mode for OEL guest operating system.

    Hi,
    Another "newbie" question - so please be patient.
    We have a VM Server and have used a VM Template to create a VM with Oracle 11g on OLE5.2 - all this works great and them VM operates and we can connect to the VM from VM Manager and login (character mode) etc.
    Now... how do we get OEL5.2 to run in graphical mode? I have seen some Oracle By Example posts that seem to show this in operation using TightVNC on the client and connecting to the VNC port for the VM - but when we do this it just brings up the character mode login console.
    Any and all help/pointers is much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Bren

    My preferred way is to use SSH with X11 forwarding. It provides a secure means to use graphical applications over a network. Instead of running the GUI application on the remote server, you run it on your client locally, albeit interacting with the remote server. For this you don't need to start X on your remote server and can leave it at runlevel 3. You would simply login from your client machine to the remote host:
    ssh -X account@servername_or_ip
    It will automatically setup your X11 display environment and you can type your X11 app right at the command prompt. For instance:
    system-config-users
    system-config-services
    system-config-network
    etc.
    If you need to find out what application is hidden behind which menu option, you could type 'alacarte' to analyze the standard menu.
    Of course you will need a SSH client, with an X-Terminal and a X11 server on your client machine. If you have to deal with Windows, you might find the following useful (free):
    http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/en/
    If you run on MacOSX, you already have the most featured X-windows terminal that exits, and just may have to install X11 from the optional install of the OS installation CD.
