openSUSE Forums: Crazy idle load average

openSUSE Forums openSUSE Forums

Crazy idle load average Feb 16th 2013, 20:34 Greetings Suse community. I'm looking for some advice finding the problem with a work server. I'm new to linux sys admin work so I don't know all the commands and in/outs. I believe this is a hardware issue so I'm posting it here. I was given an hp proliant server that was previously taken out of use due to unreliable performance. While working the load averages would spike it would lag out. I pulled each HD and formatted it, I also ran memtest for about 9 passes and it didn't find any issues. I installed the newer release of openSUSE (compared to what the server had) and installed the call center software on it (ViciDial). While sitting idle the load averages are insane. The example below was from last night. I've watched it go up to a load of 40 where I no longer had any control or down to .5 (lowest I've seen). The server was idle and not in use. Can someone please give me ideas on where to look for the trouble? Thanks ViCiCluster:~ # top top - 01:24:17 up 16:37, 6 user, load average: 16.84, 20.66, 14.78 Tasks: 163 total, 1 running, 162 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu0 : 0.0%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 99.7%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu1 : 0.3%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu2 : 0.0%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu3 : 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 100.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu4 : 0.3%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 99.7%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu5 : 0.3%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 99.7%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu6 : 0.3%us, 0.6%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu7 : 0.0%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 99.3%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 12038M total, 3473M used, 8564M free, 117M buffers Swap: 4101M total, 0M used, 4101M free, 2807M cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 20466 root 20 0 8860 1168 860 R 1 0.0 1:45.46 top 27520 mysql 20 0 3933m 284m 6528 S 1 2.4 169:53.82 mysqld 1 root 20 0 36972 4172 2000 S 0 0.0 0:03.71 systemd 2 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 kthreadd 3 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.14 ksoftirqd/0 5 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 kworker/u:0 6 root RT 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 migration/0 7 root RT 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.11 watchdog/0 8 root RT 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 migration/1 10 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.22 ksoftirqd/1

openSUSE Forums: steamer - install STEAM 'à la brute'

openSUSE Forums openSUSE Forums

steamer - install STEAM 'à la brute' Feb 16th 2013, 19:36 Good people of the Realm, Everyone knows I have a perverted mind and though STEAM for Linux doesn't support the only game I like from Valve (Day of Defeat: Source), I've decided to take a look on how to install STEAM without the bullsh1t from Valve. What people should know about this script: 1) This script installs the game on $HOME/.steam_install; this is intended for my personal usage and to keep the STEAM install only available to my user and not shared with other people who might have access to the machine. This allows proper maintenance and some security to the files considering that they are shielded by a natural 0700 on /home/$USER. 2) I don't install the 2 icons on /usr/share/pixmaps because I use the Faience icon theme which has a way nicer icon for Steam and saves me some lines to enter root password during the install. 3) I don't install .desktop links/files because they are part of a broken standard in my opinion, XDG should be banned! Requirements: a) Python b) Internet Connection (around 179Mb, 2.6Mb from the .deb package and 175 of downloadable bootstrap files) AFTER INSTALL c) Since I've obliterated the wrapper provided by valve, you need to get $HOME/.steam_install added to the path, this can be done with: Code: $ echo "export PATH=\"\$PATH:\$HOME/.steam_install\"" >> ~/.bashrc d) For commodity create a symbolic link to 'steam' pointing to 'steam.sh' Code: $ ln -s $HOME/.steam_install/steam.sh $HOME/.steam_install/steam e) relog f) if you want a launcher, create it manually :) Get you STEAM show running: Code: $ wget -c https://raw.github.com/ketheriel/steamer/master/steamer $ chmod 0755 steamer $ ./steamer At some point if you have the dependencies installed (you might need steam dependencies) the script will trigger a bootstrap update, YOU MUST ALLOW THE UPDATE TO FINISH and then close the window when the Steam login window appears. Sure I could multithread the script for this to run, but I'd rather keep this way to force people to this properly. Feedback is most welcome so I can improve this stuff and package it. The launcher doesn't concern me as modern desktop users can do this easilly, and since I opted for a install for every user and have it installed inside users homes, they are somehow unecessary on system space :) The PATH I will make the script add it in a future version alongside with the symbolic link! For now, it's ok... In the future I will also add a small piece of code to hook up to zypper and download the dependencies, for now, I want feedback to improve core functionality so later I can split the script into a small library with functions to manage steam, and in the long run I would like this to be a wrapper to manage steam and steam servers :) Hope this helps... PS: For the dependencies check other threads about this.

openSUSE Forums: Problem with sound - internal speakers cease to work on openSUSE 12.2

openSUSE Forums openSUSE Forums

Problem with sound - internal speakers cease to work on openSUSE 12.2 Feb 16th 2013, 18:44 I have a problem with sound from internal speakers on openSUSE 12.2. I use Toshiba Satellite L750-1N3 laptop, and everything worked OK till a couple of weeks ago (I suppose, till some update). I've had no problems with this laptop and openSUSE (clean install of 12.1, then upgrade to 12.2) for more than a year. I'll try to describe the problem: After booting the system, the sound works. Then, after a short time playing sound (mp3, youtube video, whatever in whichever application), the sound disappears. When I plug in the headphones or external speakers, they work normally. The only way to reactivate the sound from internal speakers is either to reboot or to play with configuration of the sound card (delete, then configure again, change some settings etc.) in Yast. There is no regular sequence which reactivates the sound (except rebooting). I tried to change the options of the snd-hda-intel module (model, enable_msi, probe_mask, position_fix, power_save) as found in various forums but none of them worked. The multimedia and all necessary applications (as far as I know) are installed and configured correctly. I found a lot of descriptions of this problem with internal speakers and snd-hda-intel through years, but all the solutions were just for a particular case, not general, and none of them were for my laptop. Any idea how to try to resolve the problem? Thanks!

openSUSE Forums: Audio only plays in one app at a time

openSUSE Forums openSUSE Forums

Audio only plays in one app at a time Feb 16th 2013, 17:52 My sound works, as long as it is one application at a time. For example, if I try to play music (Amarok) and then play Counter Strike, I will not hear sound in Counter Strike. If I stop the music, then load up Counter Strike, the sound works. Try to then play music, the music won't play. It seems that whatever application claims the audio device first, is locked to it and no other application can access it until it is finished. Although, within KDE system sounds will still play while music is being played. How can I get it to stop doing this? Any ideas? Opensuse 12.2 64bit. 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller Configured as sound card number 0 Driver snd-hda-intel

openSUSE Forums: The score so far with T-23, X-31 and lenovo G570 with 12.3 RC1

openSUSE Forums openSUSE Forums

The score so far with T-23, X-31 and lenovo G570 with 12.3 RC1 Feb 16th 2013, 16:46 12.3 RC1 Live disk, 32 bit version Well, the T-23 Think Pad with P III 1.2 GHZ W/1 GB ram, is a definite NO GO... The video driver is corrupted or non existent for the Savage 9 SIS chipset so you cannot set up an install or run a live disk. Text install fails also. X-31 Think Pad w/1.4 ghz Pentium M, 2 gb ram and ati video chipset, installed and looked ok and then the menu bar vanished. After that other things acted strange and I had to wipe the drive to start over. Not looking good so far, maybe the final release will work. lenovo g570 with i3 cpu, 8 gb ram and intel video chipset looks fine and sets up a running live disk and surfs with network manager with little effort. So, for me, the SCORE is 1 out of 3 work well with 12.3 RC1, so far. Anyone else have a t-23 or x-31 and having trouble? cheers
