For the past few days i've been observing that when firefox is running continuously for some time (sometimes for minutes, sometime for hours), X and firefox are taking up 100% of cpu usage. My system details are as follows: os: debian testing (that's what i've got in my repos, dunno what version it is) firefox: Mozilla Iceweasel 2.0.0.3 xorg: 7.1.0-16 m/c: AMD 2600 XP+ custom compiled kernel: 2.6.20-6 i tried running strace -c on firefox for a few seconds, and this is what i've got: % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 26.62 0.002113 0 4260 2100 readv 50.88 0.004039 2 2318 poll 0.23 0.000018 0 722 gettimeofday 0.00 0.000000 0 269 futex 0.00 0.000000 0 205 102 read 18.86 0.001497 8 192 77 writev 0.00 0.000000 0 140 write 0.00 0.000000 0 60 mmap2 3.41 0.000271 5 58 munmap 0.00 0.000000 0 39 ioctl ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 100.00 0.007938 8263 2279 total Can someone kindly point out what's happening?

30 Apr '07

I have 25 thin clients with builtin mozilla browser. I have a LAMP applicaiton running on a server. The users are accessing the application on their thin client using the builtin mozilla browser. My problem is : 1) when i want to shutdown the server , i didn't know whether somebody is using the application or not. 2) I have another server on which the users are logged in through X session called on their thin clients. If some/any users forgots to log-off his/her login then I didn't come to know that the users is not doing anythink. Is there any wall like command/utility , thru. which i can pass on a message which will be displayed on all the active users as well as the message will be passed to all the http users ? -Jagdish

Sorry to spoil the party,but there are reports of Vista refusing to boot up after Linux is installed,though those cases were on boxes with single HDDs.If your friend has 2 HDD's,then no problem,he can install vista on one and linux on the other but it involves some drive swapping as illustrated in the link below: http://wiki.gtwy.net/index.php/Dual_Boot_Vista_and_Linux Also,another link is; http://www.pro-networks.org/forum/about78184.html Regards, Easwar

Linux with Vista
by Rony 28 Apr '07

28 Apr '07

Hello All, A friend of mine bought a branded pc with Vista installed. However no additional peripherals work as their drivers are not available in vista. I suggested that he install Linux in dual boot and he has agreed. I only want to know if Linux and Vista will live peacefully and boot from Grub. Does Vista have the same booting method as XP? -- Regards, Rony.
