Why I run FreeBSD today as opposed to Linux? Many years ago I purchased two mini-itx boards with an atom processor and 4G of memory w/ dual 1G nics. Recently, I wanted a mini lab again and start using Puppet. To make the story short I installed one server with CentOS 7 and the other a FreeBSD home router. Puppet on Linux runs on Java and when starting the service my mini server, it just wasn't sufficient and the service would die. Can't tell you if it was due to limitations of the system, though once I tried it on FreeBSD which runs Ruby, 30 minutes later I had a working Puppet server running on my FreeBSD router box. Thinking about it I don't know that I am ready to dive into Docker on FreeBSD this minute ( I <3 u FreeBSD) Though I have been tinkering a bit with Atomic host from the Project Atomic and would love to hear if you have experience with any of the new lightweight OSs' running Linux containers specifically (like CoreOS, SmartOS, Atomic or RancherOS) or any cool project using Linux containers? -SDA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is worth reading the man page for ps(1) and htop(1). ps(1) says: %cpu %CPU cpu utilization of the process in "##.#" format. Currently, it is the CPU time used divided by the time the process has been running (cputime/realtime ratio), expressed as a percentage. It will not add up to 100% unless you are lucky. and top(1) says: 1. %CPU -- CPU Usage The task's share of the elapsed CPU time since the last screen update, expressed as a percentage of total CPU time. >From ps we can also see that compiz has been running since February, i.e. it has a very high real time. Thus cputime/realtime is low. This suggests something bad has happened 'recently', causing compiz to spin, when it normally just sleeps and occasionally does something.

That gets me to a blank screen but no prompt. But sometimes when I go back to the desktop after doing that with ctl-alt-f8, I get a login screen. There have been a few times when that hasn't worked either. Today when I started my laptop, the battery was dead and I had to plug it in before charging. I think I put it into "suspend" mode before closing it yesterday. I think that also may have happened in the past when I don't bother to put it in "suspend" mode, but just close it. It seems like that doesn't happen if I go for "hibernate" mode. I read somewhere that "hibernate" wasn't the greatest for SSDs, so was using more suspend. I don't know.... it's a pain, but so is Windows. No shortage of poor options ... reminds me of the upcoming election.

I was quite the novice then and although I prefer it over Linux for certain things, I would run it in a production environment in a heart beat; though, I don't nearly come close to the expertise of most of the subscribers on this list. That being said, if I can do it, anyone who enjoys Linux would definitely find it enjoyable and easy to learn. and there are many reasons for it. > ZFS was very recently added, and ZFS itself is under constant development, > so anyone going down that path is really almost on their own when it comes > to solving problems. > > Having said that, I confess that I just heard of Docker at the last Penguins > meeting (thanks Lloyd) and as a Linux user I err on the side of LXC/LXD. > I certainly cannot advise on what is a good path forward with BSD over Docket > or even LXC.

The reason I've chosen Atomic is weight on the side of features, personal interest and career. One great feature that I don't think the other light weight OSs' offer is the atomic scan feature which let's you scan inside the image for known CVEs'. There's another feature and it may only come in the enterprise version called deep container inspection that am also interested in learning. A side from that, it Atomic uses kubernetes for managing clusters, so it's an additional plus. > Whether it is Atomic, Xen, LXC, Docket and combinations of those container > infrastructures and hypervisiors, I am after a very transparent virtualization > solution, about which I should not try to elaborate on this list but I welcome > questions over personal email. > > And here is my question.

There is a flag you can pass in *Docker* when starting the container so that you can attach the host's network stack; thus inherenting the hostname, dns, interfaces, etc... I would assume this might be what I would look at if running Docker in your case? However, this is not considered security best practices and there may be a new better and more secure feature in the newest release of Docker. > I have emailed the OP and have got no response on their experience.

I will have to dig into Docker some more, and possibly post on that list again. Docker may well handle hardware passthroughs better than LXC. Luckily, I do have access to the hardware to test, with about 100 Linux nodes that are connected with infiniband and at present side-lined. Infiniband cards (not the switch, on the compute node side) needs to give the user ownership so that user-space code can write to the hardware. It is not a real security issue, I can assure you. What gets more complicated in my case is that within the containers (for security reasons) UIDs/GIDs are changed (usually with an additive 60k integer or so) to allow malicious code execution outside of the container. I am not there yet... it needs to work first before I start worrying about security. If I get anywhere with Docker, I will ping you for your information.

From man ps: "CPU usage is currently expressed as the percentage of time spent running during the entire lifetime of a process. This is not ideal, and it does not conform to the standards that ps otherwise conforms to." It looks to me like htop and top give the same answers, but they both differ from ps on the %CPU numbers. So I think htop's CPU% gives a better answer for most purposes than ps's %CPU.

Message-ID: It looks like compiz is running amok and using 100% CPU. That might mean that it is using 100% of one of eight threads, or maybe using all of one core. I'm not sure on that. This is my chip, and in /proc/cpuinfo it comes up as having 7 cores: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz What I'm really interested in is what compiz is doing for me. I'm sure it is needed for the window manager on the console, but on this machine I'm never in front of it, always logging in via SSH and using VNC with IceWM. So what would happen if I just killed the compiz process? Or maybe I could just restart it. But would that disrupt the IceWM? I'm thinking IceWM doesn't use compiz, so it wouldn't be affected. The desktop on on the console would probably be hosed, but that isn't a problem for me. What do you think?

Migrating it from one core to another is inefficient, in that it has hot memory in the L1 cache which is local to a core. Moving it means it needs to rebuild that. http://www.compiz.org/ tells you more about what compiz is. It might be enough to log out your desktop session and log in again, so it starts a new desktop.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <57CDEB1A.4080607@pinenet.com> This probably isn't helpful. But I'm just delighted to see another IceWM user so here's my 2 cents. My most modern machine is Intel Core Duo running 32 bit Opensuse. I prefer the 12.2 opensuse because khelpcenter still works, and doesn't on 12.3 to 13.2. Anyway I don't have a clue about SSH or VNC or compiz. But using some old Xforms (libforms) programs once built on opensuse 12.2 and a pentium4 single core, I have noticed great improvement in some timer graphics programs when using the mouse on a dual core CPU. The scheduler does seem to separate running programs from mouse events on separate cores. Using the mouse on a single core CPU definitely messed up timing and Xlib graphics. I run this on IceWM because it is almost directly Xlib rendering. Using the kde4 system monitor (ksysguard), processes and resources are properly displayed for both CPU cores. And I sure don't see any compiz running. It works on my IceWM desktop. Might be worth a try. Mike Miller wrote: > It looks like compiz is running amok and using 100% CPU.

For that you can have the X11 module for Xvnc installed to see the :0 server. If you just need to access X remotely on it form time to time in Xvnc, run a very lightwaight WM (like Minimal Window Manager - mwm) and avoid the bloating of fancy WMs. A really old and quite spectacular WM was AmiWM, for those of us who grew up on Amiga. Very stable, very versatile and lightweight with the Workbench look. Written by a Swede in the 90s. http://xwinman.org/amiwm.php FVWM2 has been rocking my world for decades now. You can explicitly set processor/memory affinity in most cases manually from /proc but there are CLI tools for this. It really depends on what performance hit we are talking about, although all CPU cycles is most certainly a lot. A lightweight WM would be my bet. PS> I must say I love Xlib talk. I am writing a lightweight VNC replacement that I want to use for a special purpose. It will be opensourced. All I do is segmented X framebuffer copies. Long live MIT's Athena project.

I'm trying to learn something about the XWindow system by reading the old 1992 X11R5 manual book series and playing with XForms and looking at some available source files. It might sound dumb to some here, but I find it interesting how the original X system was designed to replace the RS232 console, and how the PC of the time was single tasking so was considered an X Terminal at best. The whole relationship of client applications, network invention, X Display Server was very innovative. Sending constants over the network instead of complete graphics or pointers to structures was an effort to simplify. It all works beautifully to this day, and we certainly take it for granted.

My guess would be that they're not being asked. Inertia is very powerful especially when it comes to which operating system to use!!

My experience has been that irc has always been the most convenient way to communicate with a large set of community of users. And we use it still somewhat often. To Justin's point, I've searched online for a specific subject and have found useful information from archives of old mailing lists or irc channel conversations.

In the 90s, I was confound to a VAX in college when Linux was starting up and I was running it on my 486 duct-taped box with kernel 1.1. At the time it was the XFree86 that had a liberal enough license for Patrick to include in his Slackware distribution. Xorg came about later and he switched. That is the first time I realized what a fantastic API Xlib was for making applications. I was popping X windows on my 486 over the 24.400 baud modem. I had also pushed a Netscape window over the modem on the Amiga X server... Doing things becasue we could but great lessons. With that preface, let me take the opportunity to say I am trying to do my part to boost development of X-window based applications (and more so 3D based apps). I am in the process of slowly releasing open source code aimed at the Unix programmer. Slowly I want to push Windows-centric libraries for transparent porting across systems. (Maybe in the end we all develop for Windows and rely o CodeWeavers to run it for us under everything else.) This sounds like a lot of talk and no substance, so here is the link to my recent releases: https://github.com/nompelis/INXLib I tried to make a "library" of using the Xlib without a steep learning curve and also providing an example of how to use Xlib and how it works. As for my library, here is the first demo built on top of it: https://github.com/nompelis/INXLib/tree/master/demo1 I am in the process of authoring a set of 3D widgets, so that I can make a 3D desktop accessible to virtual reality applications. Again, I am starting with X11 but I promise to deliver a cross-platform library (if you know what SDL has been for the last 10 years you get the idea). All comments and criticism welcome. Happy hacking.

The best answers were mostly centered in USENET (if you remember), and irc was mostly centered around esoteric discussions, malicious and not. A good search and some patience will take the newbie a very long way nowadays. And there is a forum for everything now as well. I think that the real-time chat is not very good now given the size of the audience. I was in IRC chat- rooms in the 90s with 20 individuals talking and that was hard to do. At some point there had to be moderation and there were limits of who could "talk" while the masses could only listen. The numbers of users was the killer of IRC, and it makes sense to me. Nowadays tech service companies (such as Rackspace/Slicehost) use this for one-on-one chat customer support. That is the extent of the use I see of real-time chats. Glad to have been part of it in the early days when it was useful.

I'm a bit older than you and always behind the curve. I started programming computers using punch cards at the U, a year or two later the U had text terminals for students who didn't know what they didn't miss. I later worked in a Biophysical chemistry lab and barely got a PDP11 working to read punched paper tape off a scintillation (radiation) counter. My big leap forward was getting an Epson QX10 and did the "translation of coordinates" needed for pseudo 3D graphic electro-optic coefficients of peptide "liquid crystal" concepts. Don't ask me how it worked using QBasic and beta QDraw, but when I started to run the program the screen went blank for several minutes and I had to beg the investors to stay while I prayed the computer would come back to life. I remember some managers from NWBell said, when I was pushing fiber optics, if I ever knew some common networking protocol for micro-computers let him know. I suspect that was the software code in some papers/books an IBM guy gave me, but I didn't know what C looked like, and barely do now. So the timeline of development helps me understand my gray hair. Personally, I'm disappointed the Direct Framebuffer guys seemed to give up. I don't want another desktop, X and KDE are already spectacular. I want real time hardware access, not "requests" and "hints."

Back in the day (circa 2002) I had to jump through a lot of hoops to get OpenGL hardware accelerated stuff to work on X running over a Voodoo 3Dfx card. Back then, 3D accelerated graphics in X was just giving a "viewport" to the native 3Dfx drivers. So it was the same type of calls made to the graphics hardware if you were on X or a tty (console) on the machine. If it went bad... I had to log in from another computer and simply restart the system. No. You want the X server to do whatever possible to talk to the hardware on your behalf. It has worked really well for over a decade now. You can get incredible framerates too. I assure you that you want constants sent to the hardware. That is how SGI designed OpenGL over X at the infancy of OpenGL. has anyone tried doing 3D accelerated graphics over the network? That is where OpenGL over X really shines. On the client side there is a lot passed over the network when you send the graphics, so you want to be using display lists or the more contemporary vertex buffer objects, vertex arrays, etc. One you get those over the network, they stay on the server side, and only short messages go across the network (usually TCP). That is _if_ the software is written properly. Great design if you ask me. Also, in the context of an application running on a "desktop" or a workstation, the command line would not be popular. There are ergonomic and market reasons for needing a windowing system. People want their email reader on the same desktop as their high-performance graphics. You will find arguments for and against what you are talking about. I err on the side of "hardware is fast enough for what I need to use Xlib" and I stick with it. Go with it and thank me later. Most people write software for Qt, Tcl/Tk, Motif, etc. There is no choise there.

I really like Freepascal for many reasons, mostly I can read it. But I learn a lot, so what you say makes sense to me. When the framebuffer first came out, I used Freepascal to draw lines and circles in colors on the framebuffer, /dev/fb0. Pretty nice until the text console insisted on sharing the screen, so I knew it was too big a project for me. The problem with X seems to be all the queues. It draws when it wants to draw. I really don't know all the modern graphics cards stuff. Perhaps I'm stuck in the instrumentation era. All these new child hardware devices like Arduino are sensational appendages to the linux management hardware host. Any uncertainty in display response is a potential glitch.

It is and has been for a long time. Every time I ask a simple question and I get More answers and direction than I could hope for. My last question which has been posted in many forums has yet to compare to the answers from this TCLUG list. What do you mean by piracy? no one needs piracy; piracy means stealing right? Did you mean privacy? Yes we need privacy. I don't want to poop in front of people; I do still need some level of privacy. TCLUG is a true cross section of people from so many backgrounds.

So, in other news, the Penguins Unbound meetup today was great. Patrick Mooney of Joynet presented SmartOS and gave some insight into a lot of things. https://www.joyent.com/smartos That was 2 hours very well spent. If you are into virtualization/containers and the like, you should check out SmartOS (it is open source). It was also brought to my attention that it is Software Freedom Day today, the third Saturday of September; http://www.softwarefreedomday.org/ I like this list, but the Penguins are more productive in comparison.

This list is now for questions in which you are passionate enough about to push through the BS. i hope the list that you were invited to has a chance to flourish and grow. Hopefully, we can get more people interested in linux and maintain their interest with positive discussions and support. or not, whatever just don't let people be abusive and get away with it on either list. please.

One example mistake was my effort as an environmental scientist sitting out here in rural Minnesota and trying to get involved with the "Green Party" only to learn they were just a bunch of Minneapolis communists full of anger, none an environmentalist. I got kicked off their list several times for trying to talk about clean air, water, and cellulosic biofuels. They still want donations, but most are wolves in sheep clothing. So I'm not a judge of anything. From my brief reading of his situation, he has a health issue and is stuck with 4 little kids to care for alone. He's trying to find out how to grow linux skills and become part of a constructive discussion and get involved. He vented frustration improperly here, but I also say things while picking rock venting frustration that scares my dog. Half you urban lunatics drive your car like WMDs. Some rural crazies vent frustration shooting off a hundred rounds of automatic ammo. Too many others suck drugs containing who knows what. So (for now) I think he just wanted to find his peers and learn linux in a supportive community, and it didn't exist. BTW, I just figured out why the old XForms toolkit "cursors" demo uses modern cursors instead of the old bitmaps. It took me a while to learn there is an Xcursor library that automatically searches given directory paths for themes and icon files. It won't make "Twitter" headlines, but pretty impressive how well designed this linux is.

Agreed. From what I have said back and forth with him privately on the mesh topic he?s got a good idea, he wants to do something and realizes that there could be a cheap solution but there?s more he doesn?t know. And we all have our setting off item. Some of us have more. Some of us say we have none. But most of us are realistic. I won?t defend people?s actions, and I will try NOT to attack others who attack (names held back to not fuel the fire). But I think there are some that deserve the benefit of the doubt. While Sandwich Eyes probably wouldn?t last there, we can find a place for him here. And that starts with telling people when they?re either off topic and carry the conversation offline or they?re going off their rocker. Thankfully many people, regardless of traumatic injury, are capable of stopping when they?re being told they?ve gone too far. I just hope that others take the lesson, too, and run with it. ?

Converting increasingly abundant (more atmospheric CO2) "biomass" cellulose into "advanced biofuel" is an international priority, given climate concerns that have gotten politically overheated. And that black wood charcoal residue (biochar) is regarded a soil fertility enhancer as well as a method to "sequester carbon." Copy fire, like the nervous system was copied. Personally, I think using solar energy input to gasify the biomass, and using the enhanced fuel energy to run standard car 12V generation, is a good gimmick. Even "Intel" likes 12V. A Linux junkie has played with all of this stuff. The political over-achievers think there is a few $billion floating around among the planet's 7 billion people. Nice to see Minnesota be a leader.

Does anybody know how to seriously trim the Linux kernel and configure it for close to real-time driver response?? Apparently, it is agreed here we must all just accept current distros. 2. Does anybody know how to use a simplified XWindow toolkit for close to real-time response?? Apparently, some feel OpenGl or some network add-ons is the GUI of choice. 3. I've suggested car analyzers as an interesting, useful Linux beginning application. And some programming languages that might be helpful. 4. And finally I suggested a technology that is currently mandated in US federal law and advocated by United Nations environmental agreements as recently as this year in Paris. I actually understated the claim of many world leaders who say $trillions must be invested promptly, and instead said $billions. Don't make it sound as if I've annoyed you by trying to create jobs and revenue in the US. Hey, we're broke and at war.

It will still be a protected OS with access permissions and proper scheduling. And it does not mean that it will not be a good real-time system. If your task is sufficiently simple, you can do it with a microcontroller which is a lot more robust and a lot more suitable for real-time systems. I coded an audio pipeline based on ALSA and POSIX threads and the real-timeness of it is remarkable. I was shooting for a real-time audio sequencer. > 2. Does anybody know how to use a simplified XWindow toolkit for close > to real-time response?? Apparently, some feel OpenGl or some network > add-ons is the GUI of choice. > Yes. You need to decouple the graphics from the "engine" of what you are trying to do. I can do it with POSIX threads. What you really want is to not have the graphics (and whatever lag goes with processing events) affect your real-time performance of the engine. It can be done. It is a question of architecting the communication of the engine thread with the graphics thread. I like to do stuff like that with unix pipes, where you have one thread write into the pipe and the other one read it. The reason is that you can leave the data waiting there (buffered) if the thread that is intended to read it does not get to it at the right time. It avoids MUTEXes, which would give you stalls and kill your real-timeness. Does all this make sense? I can provide with example code in C. > 3.

And some programming languages that might be helpful. > Embedded systems are mostly state machines and that is what microcontrollers are. There are a LOT of people who program real-time systems on off-the-shelf microcontrollers, and I can introduce you to some of them. Car analyzers, the way I understand your terminology, can be either an embedded system or a proper OS. I have examples for both. Go to www.nefmoto.com and you will find both. I can spare little time to work on other people's projects, but I can certainly try to point you in the right direction if it is something that falls within my reach. That is what lists like this one are about...

You just have to create a conversation with a contact and then click the SMS icon at the top of the conversation. At some point a year ago or so, they tried to clumsely merge Hangouts and SMS conversations. I actually preferred it when they were merged, but it looks like they rolled that back now. *shrugs* In any case, hope that helps!

A google search of "embedded linux" came up with an Intel ad first. The Wikipedia link begins with a remarkable list of current embedded linux uses. All I suggested was adding consideration of some developing energy technology systems. I have a lot of catching up to do, I like the linux tools I'm currently using, and am interested in learning more. I'll have more time later, but it would be nice to see more discussion of this topic within the TCLUG. Take care. ============================================================== *Takes big breath* > 1.

It will still be a protected OS with access permissions and proper scheduling. And it does not mean that it will not be a good real-time system. If your task is sufficiently simple, you can do it with a microcontroller which is a lot more robust and a lot more suitable for real-time systems. I coded an audio pipeline based on ALSA and POSIX threads and the real-timeness of it is remarkable. I was shooting for a real-time audio sequencer. > 2.

You need to decouple the graphics from the "engine" of what you are trying to do. I can do it with POSIX threads. What you really want is to not have the graphics (and whatever lag goes with processing events) affect your real-time performance of the engine. It can be done. It is a question of architecting the communication of the engine thread with the graphics thread. I like to do stuff like that with unix pipes, where you have one thread write into the pipe and the other one read it. The reason is that you can leave the data waiting there (buffered) if the thread that is intended to read it does not get to it at the right time. It avoids MUTEXes, which would give you stalls and kill your real-timeness. Does all this make sense? I can provide with example code in C. > 3.

There are a LOT of people who program real-time systems on off-the-shelf microcontrollers, and I can introduce you to some of them. Car analyzers, the way I understand your terminology, can be either an embedded system or a proper OS. I have examples for both. Go towww.nefmoto.com and you will find both. I can spare little time to work on other people's projects, but I can certainly try to point you in the right direction if it is something that falls within my reach. That is what lists like this one are about... _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list From n0nas at amsat.org Sun Sep 25 19:52:50 2016 From: n0nas at amsat.org (Doug Reed) Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2016 19:52:50 -0500 Subject: [tclug-list] webediting Message-ID: I've used SeaMonkey from Mozilla for simple web page editing but I don't know if it will do what you want.
