[ILUG-BOM]Dynamic Bandwidth Control
by K i r ＠ n G h a g 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

Hi all, There is one situation...imagine a intranet which is to be hooked up to internet through a proxy server. do you know any intelligent proxy server that will allow dynamic bandwidth allocation with user starvation prevention....to talk in simple terms... 1. i should be able to allocate max bandwidth usage to a user in peak traffic time 2. when traffic is not present, this limit can be exccedded normally this will happen, i mean, if there is only one user, he would enjoy faster speed. but as the users add up, the speed slows down drastically. and the operation is not deterministic...i cannot guarantee that a particular user is limited using a max bandwidth qouta any clues/links..??? links to HOWTOs would be great..

No, this is not our intention. Obviously we have not succeded in communicating that. Thanks for pointing this out. We were trying to convey the fact that software developed with Qt Commercial Editions does not depend on the GPL, so that our commercial customers have the option of not distributing their source with their binaries.

[ILUG-BOM]weird behaviour of "/proc/version"
by psawant＠nse.co.in 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

in my office, i connect to a RedHat gnu/linux m/c through telnet (actually through a software called "putty", which uses telnet as the underlying communication protocol). the initial welcome/login screen shows the following msg: Red Hat Linux release 7.2 (Enigma) ^^^ Kernel 2.4.7-10 on an i686 but the contents of "/proc/version" are: Linux version 2.4.7-10 (<some email id>) (gcc version 2.96 20000731) (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98) #<today's date> ^^^ any convincing explanation to the above weirdity, would be greatly appreciated. also, i have a small question, which is related to the above query (actually, it might solve the above absurdity ;-) ) does the file "/proc/version" change (or is updated) at every reboot (or some other convinient time interval). i.e. if i change the entry in "/proc/version" to make it RHL 7.2, will it stay like that forever (or until someone changes it), or will it get rectified at the next reboot? also where does the display shown at login time come from? thanks for all the help!

<Snipped original mail> Hi, I am having AMD Athlon XP 2000+ with ASUS A7V8X Mothorboard. I have an enclosed PC cabinate to prevent my PC from dust. The cabinate opens only from front when I want to use it. I do face a heating problem. The temperature easily rises to 60+ oC without any process using CPU cycles. I use CPUIdle on Windows which does a very good job to keep the temperature down to 25 oC when CPU is not in use(even when the room temperature is 30+ oC). But for long compilations or while applying Photoshop filters the temperature rises to 65+ oC also. BTW is there any utility on Linux like "CPUIdle" which "cools" the CPU while not in use?

Hi The contents of the /proc/version file is not actually wierd it looks almost same as of urs on all systems of Red Hat Linux. This file gives you the version of Linux Kernel, GCC, the version of RedHat Linux installed in your system and dthat email id is of the development team of RedHat Linux so you can email the bugs to them. The display message that you see at the time of login comes from the /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net files.

Hi Dipali, If you have forgot the root password for ur system then its a little bit of head ache but dont worry you can still get to change the new password. If you are using RedHat Linux then just do the following steps. I hope that you have a rescue boot disk created at the time of installation or atleast have the RedHat installation CDs. Boot through the CD or floppy drive and at the boot prompt type linux single and press enter this will take you to single user mode from where you can change the root password to a new one and reboot the system and log in to your root account as usual. If you are using LILO as your boot loader then simply type linux single at the boot prompt and the rest will be same. I hope this fixes ur prob.

[ILUG-BOM]AMD processor ??
by T Roy 04 Nov '03

hi , i am plannig to buy a new PC, and have problems reagarding the selection of processor. I want a AMD Athalon XP( 1.8Ghz) processor(with 256MB DDRAM) but there have been rumours that the processor gets heated up and could hang the system. My room is not well ventilated, only cooling source is Fan. In such a case would AMD give me a problem? Has anyone worked with XP series processors and how was your experience? The machine would be used solely for Linux( thats why I want to get a cheap processor ). Which MotherBoard is the best buy for AMD Athalon XP 1800 ? What i read form 'Digit' was, MSI KT4 Ultra(with VIA KT400 chipset) motherboard works great with AMD Athalon XP 2600. If its not AMD then the only other choice is Intel P4(1.8Ghz), which is expensive. -Troy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Can you point out to me what prompts you to say 'no MSI or anything else' ? ? ? & what is the amazing advantage that ASUS offers over any other motherboard manufacturer ? Most motherboards which support Athlon [even Pentium ones I think], have a mechanism to shutdown the system if && when the CPU reaches a 'critical' temperature, which I think is configurable in the BIOS. 60 C should possibly not be considered a heating 'problem' at all. Think about it, you could harvest Athlon's heat output to make omlettes or even bake a great cake. Pentium because of its thermal properties can never offer such extra-features [it directs all heat to Intel HQ, where they use your heat output to make their omlettes]. So all in all, I can safely say that AMD Athlon XP is great value for money. ;-)) Run Linux smoothly, cook omlettes, heat your room in the winter just by starting the machine... multi-functionality at its best ! ;-))) Vishal. -- "Because nature isn't classical, damnit..." ~ Richard P.

Yes, AMD's Athlons do heat up a lot, but I don't think its a major 'problem'. I use AthlonXP 2000+, with MSI's KT4V (Via KT400 chipset), 256 Mb DDR, nVIDIA GeForce4 64 Mb Display. (thank you to a good friend made here on LUG, who helped me out making the machine) I run Mandrake 9.1 currently, and moving quickly toward a Gentoo install on the same machine. [Visu, you'll be there, right? ;-) ] I replaced the fan which came along with the processor, by a Thermaltake Volcano copper bottom fan with a higher RPM. Sure it works great man. Gave me 4-5 C less. The idle temperature is around 50 C, and reaches around 57 C under some intensive tasks, maybe like playing Quake. > > My room is not well ventilated, only cooling source is > Fan. In such a case would AMD give me a problem? Get a good fan if the fan from AMD isn't satisfactory. & yes, if you're too paranoid, then see if someone can get you a good thermal paste, like Arctic Silver's Ceramique or Shin Etsu's G751. They might help you with a degree or two. Add up all, a good fan, a good grease and keeping the cabinet un-congested and all grills clean, you should have a decent machine at some 4,000-5,000 Rupees less than Intel's Pentium. > > Has anyone worked with XP series processors and how > was your experience? The machine would be used solely > for Linux( thats why I want to get a cheap > processor ). Athlon maybe 'cheap' but it is surely a good processor. If you want to go REALLY cheap consider VIA's C-3 at 667 Mhz at Rs. 475 /- and C-3 800 Mhz at Rs. 1075/- :-))) > > I do face a heating problem. The temperature easily rises to 60+ oC > without any process using CPU cycles. Its not a problem, AMD's spec sheet says that AthlonXP is fine until you take it to furnace at somewhere around 90 C, so 60 C sounds tame. But I appreciate your concerns. > I use CPUIdle on Windows which does a very good job to keep the > temperature down to 25 oC when CPU is not in use(even when the room > temperature is 30+ oC). > CPUIdle and other such softwares might *not* be a good long-term solution. AFAIK IMHO, such software cooling solutions halt the FSB time & again, and this leads to some deterioration of the hardware over time. Nothing can substitute a good physical solution to thermal issues. > BTW is there any utility on Linux like "CPUIdle" which "cools" the CPU > while not in use? > I believe there is a HOWTO especially for Athlon cooling under Linux. If you're the adventurous kind and are blessed with a decent 24/7365 internet connection, install Gentoo Linux. My dear friend reported to me that his fps count went up from 850-900 fps to 1700-1800 fps JUST by changing to Gentoo Linux, getting the one which is specifically optimized for AthlonXP processors. That is squeezing out the most out of the combination of a good processor and a good distribution. Extreme value for your money with the trade-off that you gotta rack your brains a little with the Gentoo offering! > > > > I think linux kernel does internal cpu power management and does not > need any such utility... Yes I guess, but I dont think its enough for Athlons... I still am trying to figure out an integral solution to spinning down hard-disks, clocking down the CPU, and turning off the display in a timed manner. ACPI doesnt seem too well supported atleast till 2.4.21. I believe 2.4.22 resolved many ACPI issues. with good ACPI support, Athlon + GNU-Linux combination rocks. Vishal A.

In that case, I think, I will have to recompile the kernel. Because default kernel with RedHat 8.0 or 9 doesnt seem to do that. I wonder why they have not kept this option active. Regards Aseem

Hi Try out QtDesigner, it helps you to design GUI applications as easily as you do it in VB and helps you develop applications of different styles like Mac, DotNET etc. However Qt is just a designer and you need to do some additional programming in Python to completely build your application. QtDesigner with Python supports MySQL as well as PGSQL. Please check out the OCT issue of Developers IQ Magazine. It has an article on how to develop applications easily with the help of QtDesigner and Python and the example in the issue is building an application for interaction with MySQL. I think this is exactly what you want.

I have installed RH9 and now i am trying to install the display drivers but i am unable to. The driver is NVIDIA-Ge*.run file which i got on the net. These are the steps that i followed 1) Started in run level 3 2) sh NVIDIAGe*.run 3) I made the changes in the XF86Config file i.e replace the display driver to nvidia (previously nv) and commented out one of the modules in the module section (as mentioned in the readme file) But after i make these changes and start X it gives me errors about my horizontal sync and vertical refresh....which is pretty suprising bcoz i did not make changes to that at all ..and with the same values my X was starting up without any issues previously.

Hi all, Please ignore previous mail. I wish to try out small foot print linux distributions. I have at my dispense a - HP Vectra Pentium 100 24MB RAM 80MB IDE HDD / 250MB IDE HDD onboard S3 Trio64 Keyboard I wish to turn this system into a blackbox system which can be accessed remotely either via terminal or via ppp link (Ethernet is currently optional, but its in plan for future). Currently I have installed Redhat 6 on this. ttyS0 is configured for serial terminals using mingetty. ttyS1 is configured for PPP access via null modem cable. Currently I can access the machine fine via above setup. But I want to explore more into this kind of system so that maximum flexibility can be provided in it. The current installation without X setup takes 200MB which I cam sure can be stripped down to basics. Any pointers??? I have downloaded ETLinux today but yet to try it.
