Edge 13(AMD) hotter in Linux than windows

Hi,
   I got my Edge 13 few weeks and quite satisfied. However, I just installed windows
for a certain entertainment use.
   I spent many days for tuning my gentoo system. Including compiling a minimize
kernel, built-in most of the driver needed.
   Unfortunately, I found Edge is cooler in windows for sure.
   I did compile the kernel myself, but I'm sure the cpu-scaling and on-demand
profile pull CPU back to 800MHz. The temp. reading is :
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp: +63.0°C
Core0 Temp: +69.0°C
Core1 Temp: +64.0°C
Core1 Temp: +70.0°C
Adapter: PCI adapterCore0 Temp: +65.0°C
Core0 Temp: +70.0°C
Core1 Temp: +65.0°C
Core1 Temp: +71.0°C
   I couldn't help but doubt there is something wrong.
So I'm going to ask:
How hot is your Edge is in Linux?
Is there anyone notice what could be wrong? I can provide my kernel config if it help.
Thank you.

Yeah I just put the speed down in Ubuntu until I need it. Now for more info Vista and Win7 run cooler than XP. My old laptop ran mid 50's Cel. GPU 60's. In Xp mid 70's Cel. GPU 80's. So I put Vista back on it and sold it to get my Lenovo.

GetTimezoneOffset got one hour ahead on linux than windows

I'm using Date object to retrieve current local time for
display. But got one hour ahead than the system time.
For an example, I set the system time zone to Hong Kong,
China. The getTimezoneOffset() return -540 on linux, but on
Windows, it's -480. So, the time in flash is one hour ahead than
the system time.
I have checked that the getUTCHours() return the same result
on linux and windows.
Any Suggestions?
thx!

Can somebody please confirm/deny this.
FP 9 on Linux shows time one hour ahead than the local time.
Try following line with FP9 on Linux
trace("Current Time "+new Date());

Linux runs hotter than Windows?

Right now in Windows, CoreTemp reports that my processor is a little under 50 C, but in Arch lm-sensors says that it stays around the upper 50s, often jumping up into the 60s when I open a new program or play a Youtube video. Does anyone know why this would be? CoreTemp reports that the CPU is running at around 1.5 GHz, but in Linux cpufreq-info reports that it's often lower, around 933 MHz.
The processor is an Intel i3 mobile, which can go up to 2.13 GHz. In a Sony Vaio, just let me know if you need any other hardware specifics.
Any ideas why Linux would be running hotter than Windows?

Alright, thanks for the quick replies. The reason I want to solve this is because the fan spins way faster in Linux than Windows, and it's gotten annoying how loud it is.
The CPU frequency is the same in Linux and Windows (if not a little slower in Linux).
According to htop there's no significant workload right now.
I don't see why the graphics card would be any hotter in Linux (although I'll check that out now).
The fan is spinning way faster in Linux, so it's definitely not that Linux runs the fan slower.
Do you think it would be safe to assume lm-sensors is just over estimating the thermal junction, and I can force the fans to spin a little slower?
e: When I run sensors and get a line like this -
Core 0: +58.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
The crit temperature is TJunction, right?

How to set owner-only access file permissions both on Linux and Windows

Hi everybody.
I have the following problem. I need to store some private user information in file system. So I need to set owner-only access permissions for some directory in user home. I did not find API for doing this. As I understand this is platform specific thing. Could anybody tell me how can I do this both on Linux and Windows?
Thank you in advance.

More ideas just came back to me (of something I did before)
Each OS requires a different control.
For Windows you will need to set the .policy file for each user (a pain if you have more than a dozen of clients) granting access (R or RW) to files/directories.
Then you have to write some native code (access via JNI) to access/modify your authorization.
A more professional solution that I used was J-Integra (other similar tool exist).
Basically it is a bridge between Java and COM. It magically give you access to the COM API from Java (and vice versa).
In my case it was to read/write/modify Winword documents transfered between PC and server.
From memory you have to run the com2java.exe to build the bridge (classes in Java language) between the 2 families. Compile those classes and you have a "driver" for the COM (Microsoft Objects).
Here I must confess my ignorance on Microsoft.
Those COM objets must give you some easy/integrated access to the API for LDAP or Microsoft Active Directory Service (for centralize control with more complex setup).

Oracle DB sessions on Linux and Windows

Actually I am confused the way session memory is allocated on 32 bit windows and linux OS.
Windows is a thread based architecture where all user sessions are treated as threads of oracle.exe process. The addressable space is 4GB and oracle.exe can use up to 3GB in case you use /3GB switch in boot.ini file. It means that combined size of SGA ,PGA and other memory structures can not be more than 3GB. When a session gets connected with a database a PGA is allocated. It means that memory required by database sessions also comes from the 3GB limit. If your memory usage goes beyond 3GB you wont be able to connect new sessions with database or you would require to reduce the size of one of your SGA components.
Linux is a process based architecture where each user session is treated as a separate process and has its own addressable space. Even on 32bit linux the addressable space is 4GB i.e. 2GB for process and 2GB for kernel. It means we need to accommodate our SGA and PGA in the 2GB limit (there are ways to increase the size of SGA but let assume we are doing nothing to raise the 2GB limit).
As PGA is allocated for every session when it connects with database.
My question is how PGA memory is allocated against a database session on linux.
To further clarify my question I am stating the results of an experiment that I did on linux and windows.
On windows I set the total size of SGA to 1730M and PGA aggregate target to 1024M. I was able to able to startup the database instance without any issue. Then I started connecting sessions with the database and even ran a query doing a heavy sort in one of the sessions but after connecting 10 sessions with DB I started getting ORA-12500 TNS Listener failed to start a dedicated server process error on windows.
Then I did the same experiment on Red Hat Linux. SGA size was 1633MB and where as PGA aggregate target was only 10MB. I was unable to start instance when I set the SGA size more than 1633MB.
With that setting I was able to connect more than 200 sessions with database inspite of running query doing heavy sort in 4 sessions without getting ORA-12500 error. I was even able to connect more than 400 sessions with database after setting PGA aggregate target to 1GB on Linux.
Now my confusion is why linux was able to handle more DB sessions. I know it’s a process base model and each session is a separate process and has its own addressable space but as PGA is allocated against every session and PGA memory comes from 2GB limit then why PGA memory did not exhaust on linux. Is PGA allocated differently on linux as compared to windows?

Perhaps the problem is easier to understand if you leave PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET out of this issue completely.
The out of memory problem you had, has nothing to do with PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET setting directly. The difference in number of processes comes from architectural differences in how Oracle uses memory in windows vs unix.
On windows the SGA + ALL PGAs must fit into one 4GB address space (in practice even smaller as youve noticed). This is because there's only one process, oracle.exe. One process = one address space.
On Unix, you have many processes and every process can use portion of their own address space for PGA.
So, on windows (32bit) you run out of address space for the single oracle.exe process. On unix you dont hit this limit just because the number of processes grows (but if some process wants to use a lot of PGA memory, then they eventually run out of address space (talking about 32bit again))
On unix you probably ran into another limit - amount of total usable virtual memory (RAM+swap) available in your system

Linux or Windows

I have the option to use either multiple Linux or Windows
servers.
These servers will be dedicated purely to the media server.
Any opinions on which would be better for live streaming in
the most part.
Alan

I wouldn't consider running a production database in a non-supported configuration. That's a bit like walking a tightrope without a net. If you can't purchase a supported Linux configuration, I'd strongly suggest going with Windows.
If you can purchase a supported Linux configuration, there would be two criteria I'd use to determine which O/S to use. First is the ease of scripting. For 99% of the people out there, Linux's scripting facilities are orders of magnitude better than those in Windows. Given how many DBA type tasks ought to be automated, this gives a strong nod to Linux. The other criteria would be the organization's familiarity with each O/S. If you have a bunch of Windows wizards, go with Windows. If you have a bunch of Linux/ Unix gurus, go with Linux.

Java Performance: Linux vs Windows, 64 bit vs 32 bit JVM

I am looking for information about how Java performs on Linux vs Windows and how the results are affected when a 64 bit jvm is used.
Disk access or IO are not important, I would really like to see some benchmarks on floating point arithmetic and/or heavy memory access, assuming that on all environments enough physical memory could be addressed so the extra available memory space for 64 bit os'es/jvm's is not important.
I have been searching on Google but didn't find any useful recent results, only some very old stuff.
Does anybody know how the OS and the JVM affect performance? I could imagine that Java VM's are a little less optimized on Linux because of the fact that Linux has a smaller marketshare, but maybe that is not true?
Also I could imagine that 64 bit JVMs could be faster because they could use more cpu registers, on the other hand they could slow down a little because all memory pointers are twice as long so more data should be processed?
Any comments are greatly appreciated!

On the Linux vs Windows theme, you would probably find out, after much browsing & research, that there is no difference in performance or that the difference is too small to be even considered.
On the 32-bit vs 64-bit subject, here's a recent blog that you could look at:
http://dev2dev.bea.com/blog/patel_jayesh_j/archive/2007/09/32bit_or_64bit.html
That blog has some links to some benchmarks, but here again, the differences are unlikely to be earth-shattering.
Not much to add here, other than the most important improvement in performance derive from how the application is designed, and in some cases, how the JVM heap itself is configured, independently on Linux vs Win or 32 vs 64 -bit considerations.
In a case when you would really need to know, there is no general right answer to your question, and you'd have to benchmark your specific application yourself in your specific execution environment to be able to evaluate possible benefits of 64-bit vs 32-bit.
In conclusion, I wouldn't waste much time on all this, and you probably have better things to do yourself.

Linux versus windows

I am a new DBA and caught in between the choice of OS(Linux/Windows) to use. I have just concluded my university education and will be in the job market soon. I need to know which OS I should learn to better suite oracle database.

I absolutely agree with Jaffar, especially from Oracle point of view. Just remember that Linux is a bit more difficult to learn than Windows, but once you know Linux it's easier to learn Windows than the opposite.
If you start learning Linux, I'd just advice you one thing : use graphical interface as less as possible, at least at the beginning. Graphical interface simplify your life, but you don't know what you're doing...
Anyway, in my opinion you should learn both : Linux is the best solution as database server, while Windows could be advisable as Client. Windows is surely the most popular Client in the world.

Multiboot with LINUX and Windows

Does solaris support multiboot with UNIX, LINUX and Windows.
All of them in the same disk on primary hdd.
thanks

Hello pradyut. It is not possible to boot Solaris 10 from Linux GRUB since Sun uses a modified GRUB which can deal with SUN partition 'slices'. The opposite (Sun grub booting Linux), however, is really easy to do. If you installed Solaris last you can edit Solaris /boot/grub/menu.lst and just add another entry the same as the Windows menu entry, except for the changed name and partition number.
So, for example, with a Windows entry similar as follows:
title Windows
     rootnoverify (hd0,0)
     chainloader +1
just copy/paste it where you want it to go and edit as follows:
title Linux xx.. <- you put whatever title you wish here
     rootnoverify (hd0,X)
     chainloader +1
..where X = the correct partition number of the Linux /boot code. If your Linux /boot directory is installed in the second physical partition (directly after Windows), for example, X would be 1 if a primary partition, or 4 if the first logical partition.
If you are not really sure what partition number to use (this can be confusing and difficult to even describe), you could easily discover the correct partition number by trial and error, or run (in a Linux console) df -h. A wrong partition number entry will produce a harmless GRUB error and return you to the Solaris boot menu to try again.
If you look at the Grub documentation, you will find that it is really even easier to make these changes on the fly (while actually booting). Highlight the Grub menu item via the down-arrow, press ESC, then E. This will allow you to edit that line, and quickly change the 'X' number and try it. Type <Enter> once your edit is done, and then highlight the menu entry to boot, and type B.
Either way, you can return to Solaris /boot/grub.menu.lst and put in the correct number and it will always boot the Linux loader even after updates, reinstalls, and kernel upgrades.
Also remember that if you are using logical partitioning in one of the physical partitions, the first logical partition is always HD0,4 (assuming hard disk 0) whether there are 4, or less than 4 physical partitions.
I hope this helps!

Windows 7's Infection Rates Five Times Lower Than Windows XP

"Windows 7's marketshare continues to grow at a steady pace at the expense of its two older siblings, Windows Vista and XP, according to the data from StatCounter. In terms of global usage, Windows XP is at 46.44%, Windows Vista at 12.5%, and Windows 7 at 32.64%. Good news for everyone, right? Well, if these adoption numbers aren't convincing enough, perhaps this might convince you (or your technologically challenged peers) - Windows 7 has the lowest infection rates per quarter amongst Microsoft's currently supported operating systems."

Installing office 365 Home edition on a different hard drive than windows (C:\)

Hi everyone.
I recently got an invite from a familymember to install office 365, which is great.
What's not so great is that it is not possible to customize the installation and install office on a different drive than windows.
- I am using Windows 8.1 Pro.
I've done some searching on Google and have heard about a method called click-2-run, which is basically downloading files required to a directory of choice and installing these files. However I need to generate two different xml files to use this method.
I'm know how the xml files are run together with the setup.exe file, but have very limited information about how the syntax in the xml files work.
So my question is: How do I install Office 365 on a different partition than my C-drive?
I have an E-drive with loads of space in which I've made a folder called "Microsoft Office 2015" and placed the essential click-2-run files.
- download.xml
- configuration.xml
- setup.exe
What should these files contain for me to download and install Office 365 on my E-drive?
Best regards,
Zeliax

[SOLVED]Arch Linux, and Windows 8.1 Dual Boot issue

Hi guys. I recently bought a new laptop, and decided to run Arch Linux and Windows 8.1. I installed Windows 8.1 first as recommended by the beginners guide, and then installed Arch Linux. I made sure UEFI was enabled in my BIOS, and made sure everything was on a GPT partition. The install itself went fine. My laptop loads grub, and Arch Linux shows up and boots, but there is no option to boot into Windows 8.1. The only way I can boot into Windows 8.1 is by accessing my motherboard, and choosing to launch the windows boot manager instead of the grub launcher. How can I get Windows 8.1 to show up in grub? Thanks in advance guys.

Yeah I'm sure I'm doing something wrong lol. I did not install OS-Prober. I think that's where the issue is. I'm missing the menu entry in grub.cfg right? Do I just run os prober or do I have to manually edit grub.cfg.
If that's not the case then here is what I did up until now. What I did was start with a blank SSD drive. I used cgdisk to make the disk use a GPT partitioning scheme. I installed windows 8.1 and checked in windows to make sure it boots into UEFI-GPT mode and it does. I then installed arch linux using the beginners guide. I made sure to use cgdisk to create any extra partitions, and installed GRUB to the efi partition that windows had created ( I did not format this partition ). I then finished the installation and rebooted, and Grub only shows arch linux. I don't think I'm dealing with anything MBR related. I made sure I used the GPT partitioning scheme....i think lol.
All you need to do is run os-prober then run grub-mkconfig. It should pick up Windows at that point.

Mac OS internet 5x slower than Windows 7 on BootCamp

Alright, here is my problem...
My one and only computer is a mid 2010 iMac... I recently moved to a new place. Prior to me moving I was stuck with an awful 3Mbps download speed. (You can tell how much I hated it by looking at my username) Now that I moved, I am able to get much faster internet. So, I got a plan that offers up to 50Mbps download speeds (Xfinity Blast cable internet). I didn't want to rent my ISP's modem/router, so I purchased my own. I got a Motorola sbg6580. As soon as I got everything hooked up, it seemed perfect. I used speedtest.net to see what I was getting. I first tested on Windows 7. To my surprise, I was getting around 70Mbps. I then restarted my iMac into the Mac OS to do some speed tests. On the Mac OS, I was getting around 50-60Mbps. A bit slower than Windows 7, but still very good. The next day I decided to do a "real world" test. I downloaded a 1 Gigabyte file just to see how fast it was. Now, if I was getting 50Mbps the file should have taken just under 3 minutes to download. Instead, it took around 7 minutes. I figured it was maybe just the website I was downloading from. (the file I was downloading was the Cry Enginge SDK - http://www.crydev.net/ ) I did some research and discovered the website testmy.net - I am not sure if this is completely reliable or not, but every test I do on testmy.net I get around 10Mbps. At first I thought it was my ISP ripping me off, then I decided to do a testmy.net test on Windows 7 via BootCamp. (please note that on both Mac OSX and Windows 7 I did multiple tests over the coarse of multiple days) On Windows, I could instantly tell that the test was going much faster. The results for testmy.net on Windows 7 were 50-60Mbps. I did not completely trust the website, so I downloaded the same Cryengine SDK on Windows. It took around 3 minutes, just as it should have. I researched a bunch online trying to find info on this problem. I tried many "solutions" but none of them changed anything. (these include but are not limited to: Tried different DNS servers, Disabled ipv6, disabled sbg6580 firewall, disabled mac osx firewall, tried changing the wireless channel, and reset sbg6580. I came to the conclusion that it was the sbg6580. I thought that maybe an airport express would give me better results. So, today I bought an Airport express. With the sbg6580, I was able to disable the router features so it was just a modem. I was then able to set up the Airport express as my router. It fixed nothing. I am still getting the same results, Windows is still getting anywhere from 50-60Mbps while Mac OSX is getting around 10Mbps. I am out of ideas, if anyone could please help me that would be great. Also, if you need to know anything else please let me know. I may have missed something...
A quick note:
At my old house I had my iMac hooked up to a surge protector. For maximum internet performance, my iMac was connected to my router with an ethernet cable. During a bad storm one day, a lightning bolt either hit my house or very close to it. Ever since, my ethernet port has not worked. I have tried multiple eithernet cables as well as multiple routers and networks. I do not have the money for apple to completely replace my logic board. - So anyway, I am unable to test the performace with an eithernet cable.
Extra information:
My sbg6580 as well as my Airport extreme are both sitting on the same desk as my iMac, so it is obviously not a signal problem.
I also own both a iPod touch 5th gen and a iPad 2nd gen. I am getting around 20-30Mbps on both of them. I am not sure what would be a "good speed" on either of these, but I figured that was pretty good for a tablet and ipod.
The upload speeds on both windows 7 and Mac OSX are around the same 5-10Mbps.
I am using Google Chrome on both Windows 7 and Mac OSX but, I have also tried Firefox and Safari.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
