Screen and buffer size

Hi all,
I'm an arch user for two years now, and I feel more comfortable every day (so much, that I would collaborate a bit here in the forums :$). They say, "an expert is who commited as many errors as possible"; thus, I'm becoming an expert using Arch . Despite that, there are some topics I couldn't solve by myself yet. One of them, is the screen buffer (the virtual terminal of the virtual terminals). I managed to have a multitasking screen(?) but I just can't manage to have (no more of) 300 or 500 buffer lines (honestly I didn't count them). I searched the .screenrc, the /etc/screen, inside the ArchWiki, here in the forums (I must confess that is a little hard to find a solution about a word so generic as "screen" is). I'm an old Gentoo user (in fact, the incredible resemblance to Gentoo that ArchLinux has is what made me to feel so comfortable), and this in Gentoo never happened to me; i always had even waterfalls of compilation outputs inside a screen session; but here in Arch, just a few hundred lines so far.
Is there someone who could point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Paul.
PS: Sorry about my bad english, i'm a bit rusty :$

To change the scrollback buffer size, use the defscrollback setting. In my ~/.screenrc, I have the following:
# Retain 1000 lines of scrollback history.
defscrollback 1000

  • Redo log and buffer size

    Hi,
    i'm trying to size redolog and the buffer size in the best way.
    I already adjusted the size of the redo to let them switch 1/2 times per hour.
    The next step is to modify the redo buffer to avoid waits.
    Actually this query gives me 896 as result.
    SELECT NAME, VALUE
    FROM V$SYSSTAT
    WHERE NAME = 'redo buffer allocation retries';
    I suppose this should be near to 0.
    Log_buffer is setted to 1m.
    And i read "sizing the log buffer larger than 1M does not provide any performance benefit" so what can i do to reduce that wait time?
    Any ideas or suggestions?
    Thanks
    Acr

    ACR80,
    Every time you create a redo entry, you have to allocate space to copy it into the redo buffer. You've had 588 allocation retries in 46M entries. That's "close to zero"..
    redo entries 46,901,591
    redo buffer allocation retries 588The 1MB limit was based around the idea that a large buffer could allow a lot of log to accumulate between writes with the result that a process could execute a small transaction and commit - and have to wait a "long" time for the log writer to do a big write.
    If in doubt, check the two wait events:
    "log file sync"
    "log buffer space".
    As a guideline, you may reduce waits for "log buffer space" by increasing the size of the log buffer - but this introduces the risk of longer waits for "log file sync". Conversely, reducing the log buffer size may reduce the impact of "log file sync" waits but runs the risk of increasing "log buffer space" waits.

  • 9.7 inch to 11.4 inch screen by conversion of black rim into notouch screen and same size nextgen ipad?

    i would like to have a same size ipad (9.7 inch) with a bigger screen (11.4 inch) by turning the black surrounding rim into screen. But, in order to handle it like the black rim notouch, that part of the screen should ALSO be notouch. It would make a nice next generation Ipad with the same physical size.
    Sincerely,
    Maarten UiterwykWinkel.

    I was having this exact same problem, then it just stopped. I am using the nouveau driver and I have a tnt2 card.
    IIRC, I was having an unrelated problem with xorg or udev or something was having problems detecting my monitor, it claimed I had two monitors connected, I wrote an xorg.conf file and that fixed the problem. IDK if its is related or not because I don't recall exactly when things started working when I would switch ttys.
    Try using the nouveau driver and see if it does the same thing, it has a kernel module so it might make difference,

  • Firefox opens with a blank screen and reduced size.

    == Issue
    ==
    I have another kind of problem with Firefox
    == Description
    ==
    I check ebay listings each day, and when I click a sale item, Firefox always opens with a tiny sized screen 1" x 1/2" with just a blank face to it. It does not open the ebay page, nor my usual Google home page. This just started three months ago, and it is not caused by an add-on. IE and Chrome don't do this. What could be causing this?
    == This happened

    Try http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
    (caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
    Note:
    Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.
    You can rename ''localstore.rdf'' to '''localstore.rdf.sav''' to test if that solves it.

  • DASYLAB QUERIES on Sampling Rate and Block Size

    HELP!!!! I have been dwelling on DASYLAB for a few weeks regarding certain problems faced, yet hasn't come to any conclusion. Hope that someone would be able to help.Lots of thanks!
    1. I need to have more data points, thus I increase the sampling rate(SR). When sampling rate is increased, Block size(BS) will increase correspondingly.
    For low sampling rate (SR<100Hz) and Block size of 1, the recorded time in dasy and the real experimental time is the same. But problem starts when SR>100Hz for BS=1. I realized that the recorded time in dasylab differs from the real time. To solve the time difference problem, I've decided to use "AUTO" block size.
    Qn1: Is there any way to solve the time difference problem for high SR?
    Qn2: For Auto Block Size, Is the recorded result in dasylab at one time moment the actual value or has it been overwritten by the value from the previous block when AUTO BS is chosen.
    2. I've tried getting the result for both BS=1 and when BS is auto. Regardless of the sampling rate, the values gotten when BS=1 is always larger than that of Auto Block size. Qn1: Which is the actual result of the test?
    Qn2: Is there any best combination of the block size and sampling rate that can be used?
    Hope someone is able to help me with the above problem.
    Thanks-a-million!!!!!

    Generally, the DASYLab sampling rate to block size ratio should be between 2:1 and 10:1.
    If your sample rate is 1000, the block size should be 500 to no smaller than 100.
    Very large block sizes that encompass more than 1 second worth of data often cause display delays that frustrate users.
    Very small block sizes that have less than 10 ms of data cause DASYLab to bog down.
    Sample rate of 100 samples / second and a block size of 1 is going to cause DASYLab to bog down.
    There are many factors that contribute to performance, or lack there of - the speed and on-board buffers of the data acquisition device, the speed, memory, and video capabilities of the computer, and the complexity of the worksheet. As a result, we cannot be more specific, other than to provide you with the rule of thumb above, and suggest that you experiment with various settings, as you have done.
    Usually the only reason that you want a small block size is for closed loop control applications. My usual advice is that DASYLab control is around 1 to 10 samples/second. Much faster, and delays start to set in. If you need fast, tight control loops, there are better solutions that don't involve Microsoft Windows and DASYLab.
    Q1 - without knowing more about your hardware, I cannot answer the question, but, see above. Keep the block size ratio between 2:1 and 10:1.
    Q2 - without knowing more about your hardware, and the driver, I'm not sure that I can fully answer the question. In general, the DASYLab driver instructs the DAQ device driver to program the DAQ device to a certain sampling rate and buffer size. The DASYLab driver then retrieves the data from the intermediate buffers, and feeds it to the DASYLab A/D Input module. If the intermediate buffers are too small, or the sample rate exceeds the capability of the built-in buffers on the hardwar, then data might be overwritten. You should have receive warning or error messages from the driver.
    Q3 - See above.
    It may be that your hardware driver is not configured correctly. What DAQ device, driver, DASYLab version, and operating system are you using? How much memory do you have? How complex is your worksheet? Are you doing control?
    Have you contacted your DASYLab reseller for more help? They should know your hardware better than I do.

  • Sychronize AO/AI buffered data graph and measure data more than buffer size

    I am trying to measure the response time (around 1ms) of the pressure drop indicated by AI channel 0 when the AO channel 0 gives a negetive single pulse to the unit under test (valve). DAQ board: Keithley KPCI-3108, LabView Version: 6.1, OS system: Win2000 professional.
    My problem is I am getting different timed graph between the AI and AO channels every time I run my program, except the first time I can get real time graph. I tried to decrease the buffer size less than the max buffer size of the DAQ board (2048 samples), but it still does unreal time graph from AI channel, seems it was still reading from old data in the buffer when AO writes the new buffer data, that is my guessing. In my p
    rogram, the AO and AI part is seperated, AO Write buffer is in a while loop while AI read is not. Would that be a problem? Or it's something else?
    Also, I am trying to measure data much larger than the board buffer size limit. Is it possible to make the measurement by modifying the program?
    I really appreciate any of your help. Thank you very much!
    Best,
    Jenna

    Jenna,
    You can modify the X-axis of a chart/graph in LabVIEW to display real-time. I have included a link below to an example program that illustrates how to do this.
    If you are doing a finite, buffered acquisition make sure that you are always reading everything from the buffer for each run. In other words, If you set a buffer size of 5000, then make sure you are reading 5000 scans (set number of scans to read to 5000). This will assure you are reading new data every time you run you program. You could always put the AI Read VI within a loop and read a smaller number from the buffer until the buffer is empty (monitor the scan backlog output of the AI Read VI to see how many scans are left in the buffer).
    You can set a buffer size larger than the FIFO
    buffer of the hardware. The buffer size you set in LabVIEW is actually a software buffer size within your computer's memory. The data is acquired with the hardware, stored temporarily within the on-board FIFO, transferred to the software buffer, and then read in LabVIEW.
    Are you trying to create a TTL square wave with the analog output of the DAQ device? If so, the DAQ device has counters that can generate a highly accurate digital pulse as well. Just a suggestion. LabVIEW has a variety of shipping examples that are geared toward using counters (find examples>>DAQ>>counters). I hope this helps.

  • Is there any way to increase the font size in the Creative Cloud. Using a Lenovo Yoga 2 with 14" screen and care barely see the menus

    Is there any way to increase the font size in the Creative Cloud. Using a Lenovo Yoga 2 with 14" screen and care barely see the menus.

    In short, no. There is no fix yet. They only barely acknowledge there is a problem. The "fix" is to enable 200% UI scaling which makes everything comically huge and unusable. This is pretty much of a joke. A really, really EXPENSIVE joke.

  • Changing resolution and image size doesn't change result on screen?

    I'm using Photoshop CS3. I am trying to change the resolution of several images that will be printed in a newspaper. So the current images are 72 ppi and really huge -- for example 36 x 27 inches (document size), and when I change them to 300 ppi, the image sizes shrink to about 8 x 6 inches, as I expect. But the image I see on the screen doesn't change. So, for example, when I open up the image originally, it's at 33% and the entire image is visible. After I change the resolution, and the image size has changed accordingly, the image still appears the same and it remains at 33%. Shouldn't the image shrink on the screen since its size has shrunk? Or if it remains the same on the screen, shouldn't the percentage shift? I mean if the document size is now 8 x 6, it should be able to be displayed at 100% and not fill my whole screen... I'm so confused. Thanks...

    gradded,
    The "Document Size" area of the Image Size dialog is just to indicate the size (in inches) that your document will be printed. The ppi adjustment has nothing to do with what is displayed on your monitor. Your monitor doesn't care anything about ppi. The monitor contains a certain number of pixels and after you change that ppi setting, the monitor will still have that same number of pixels.
    As long as you leave the "Resample Image" box unchecked, your image size (Pixel Dimensions) will not change. You will see no change on your monitor. If you check the "Resample Image" box, then your image size (in pixels) will change.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do you determine ip and op buffer size on a 3550-12G

    I have a Cisco 3550-12G switch and I want to check to see if the input buffers and the output buffers for port gi0/12 are the same size. Is there a simple way to do this, I tried using the show buffers command but I couldn't seem to find what I was looking for. Help!

    Hi,
    "The 3550 switch uses central buffering. This means that there are no fixed buffer sizes per port. However, there is a fixed number of packets on a Gigabit port that can be queued. This fixed number is 4096. By default, each queue in a Gigabit port can have up to 1024 packets, regardless of the packet size."

  • Data retrieval buffers - buffer size and sort buffer size

    Any difference to tune BSO and ASO on data retrieval buffers?
    From Oracle documentation, the buffer size setting is per database per Essbase user i.e. more physical memory will be used if there are lots of concurrent data access from users.
    However even for 100 concurrent users, default buffer size of 10KB (BSO) or 20KB (ASO) seems very small compare to other cache setting (total buffer cache is 100*20 = 2MB). Should we increase the value to 1000KB to improve the data retrieval performance by users? The improvement impact is the same for online application e.g. Hyperion Planning and reporting application e.g. Financial Reporting?
    Assume 3 Essbase plan types with 100 concurrent access:
    PLAN1 - 1000KB * 100 = 100MB 1000KB * 100 = 100MB (total sort buffer size)
    PLAN2 - 1000KB * 100 = 100MB 1000KB * 100 = 100MB (total sort buffer size)
    PLAN3 - 1000KB * 100 = 100MB 1000KB * 100 = 100MB (total sort buffer size)
    Total physical memory required is 600MB.
    Thanks in advance!

    256 samples Buffer size will always give you a noticable amount of latency. If you use Software Monitoring you should try setting your Buffer to 64 samples. With the recording delay slider in the preferences->Audio you can compensate for the latency (of course not in realtime) so that the Audio will be placed exactly there, where it should hae been recorded at. In your case set it to a -value. A loopback test (check the link below) will clarify the exact amount of Latency occuring on your system.
