<0> mzilikazi: complain to vmware people
<0> it is they who claim their product works on linux
<1> Im running under amd64. I need to create a 32bits kernel. how do i do that ? with make menuconfig its only avaiable 64bits processors
<0> you might need to install a cross-compiler first, i'm not sure how that 64bits things work
<0> how do you build other programs for 32bits?
<1> balrog-kun, i only run 64bit applications
<1> only macromedia flash i had problems because macromedia does not support linux 64bits .
<1> balrog-kun, i will boot a live cd and build a kernel from the live cd.
<1> balrog-kun, thanks anyway!
<0> good idea
<2> balrog-kun: step on its toes?
<3> hi, does anyone know how the packet size is calculated within kernel
<3> I need to know how does /proc/net/dev gets changed
<3> what does it consider as a packet size to update those values
<4> good morning
<4> urghs: kernel: general protection fault: 0000 [1] SMP
<4> happened on a 2.6.5-7.201-smp SLES9_SP2_BRANCH-200508250620450000
<4> Does anybody know more about this issue? I found nothing real appropriate on the web. Just guesswork about an nmi watchdog issue...
<5> http://lxr.linux.no/source/arch/i386/boot/compressed/misc.c#L96 I don't understand why input_data is declared as an extern variable. What does it point to?
<5> I grepped the source /usr/src/linux#grep -r -w input_data *
<5> I only get misc.c where it is defined, but I've found an obscure reference in vmlinux.scr
<5> http://lxr.linux.no/source/arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux.scr
<5> What is an scr file?
<5> input_len = .; is all that is written...
<6> hi
<6> I think I might have a bug in the linux kernel. is this the right channel to discuss those things?
<6> s/have a/have found a/
<7> if you're using a mainline kernel, check to see if it is here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/
<6> didn't find it there
<7> then report it there, probably the best place to start
<8> Question: If I write a file, it isn't automatically in the cache like it would be if I read it, right?
<7> MrS***yPants: if you open it for write only it shouldnt
<8> I think it should. Like, when I unpack a tarball, to ./configure and make it, my harddisc is sweating during the process because nothing is in the cache yet - even though all those newly created files could already be in the buffer
<7> I'm no expert in this, but I'd find it pretty ridiculous if write only files were cached
<6> bobbens: have to try different kernel versions first. someone complained on lkml that this happens with 2.6.14 (version I run too) and it doesn't with 2.6.13.4.
<7> i had problems with 2.6.14a
<7> s/14a/14/
<7> made my clock slower my 24 seconds every hour
<7> have you tried 2.6.15?
<6> bobbens: not yet
<7> its been working fine for me :)
<6> bobbens: in 2.6.15.2 it seems to be fixed
<7> :)
<7> i like 2.6.15.2
<9> im looking at the kernel source and __user shows up a lot. it looks like it's a type or something. anyone know about it? weird -> "char __user *__user *argv"
<10> Gravis: cscope is your friend
<10> Gravis: and if you dont want to have fun, then check include/linux/compiler.h
<9> what is cscope?
<10> cscope.sf.net
<9> ok
<11> anyone can help me get Ubuntu to boot on my Dell Latitude? It hangs during boot (90% of the times any way...) It is a problem with the video memory I beleve ...
<12> hmmz, i've been getting a real odd error on my freshly installed linux box, "Warning: unable to open initial console", i've been over google and could not find an answer that solved it, can anyone help me out?
<12> oh, did i mention this was a kernel panic?
<13> why is there need for "polished" kernel header files? i.e. why does gentoo (& i expect other distros too) need a linux-headers package?
<13> Is it for applications for which glibc headers don't give enough info (about kernel), but raw kernel headers are incompatible w/ glibc headers?
<14> helloo, in my ps list i see a process that uses 1.1 % of the memory... however i tried to create a swap file of 1 GB and i don't understand why the 1.1 lowers since there is more memory? my fysical mem is 256 MB, where 2 MB free, and swap is almost 1.6 GB free..wtf? how to create more virtual memory?
<14> hello
<14> why doenst anyone answer?
<15> why do you need more virt. mem if your swap is empty?
<14> well, my programs eat all memory and there is only 5MB left, i see one simple program easting 0.7 % of MEM.. how do dicrease this value? i want to give more memory to the system by using the swap file on the disk ..
<14> even if i launch 500 programs in background, it doesnt use my swap space where it has at leaast 1.5 GB free, it only eats memory .
<7> standard behaviour is to first eat ram then work on swap
<14> but it doesnt eat from swap, so now?
<15> It will be use swap if you starts "hard" application ("open office" or "GIMP" for example) .... if your swap is mount of cource )
<7> provoke a memory leak and you'll see how after eating up all your ram itll start devouring your swap
<14> if I use uptime or so then it has heavy load and swap is free ..
<14> and how to make my program a hard app ?
<16> Is the gettimeofday system call POSIX thread safe
<7> read the man
<14> lol
<17> general question about threads: pthread_atfork registers callback methods, but is there any way to unregister one ?
<17> hi, btw :)
<18> is there some book to explain linux kernel architecture?..specially regarding 2.6 ?
<7> does the one in the /topic not suit you?
