  1. I do not think glxgears is a reliable test.

    In my brand new Core 2 Duo / 2GB dual RAM / GeForce 7300 GS-256MB, I normally get some 9,100-9,200 fps from it. But when run right after an OpenGL screensaver was triggered, glxgears reports just 60-70 fps...

    Also, if the main glxgears application window is minimized, then the test happily shows 14,000 fps or more.

    (my OS is a 32-bit one, I may try a 64-bit OS one of these days, although I think I will lose more than what I'll gain...).

    I wouldn't call that test reliable- am I wrong?

     

     

    Correct :)

     

    Just showing the numbers, my glxgears reports the same all the time though so from that standpoint it is reliable from the differences from one to the other.

     

    When I play EnemyTerritory am I getting 12K FPS, HELLSNO..... :o

  2. By no means is this an extreme test, I just wanted to see the difference and see what TripleBuffer would do.

     

    No Bling.

    glxgers
    
    63713 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12742.447 FPS
    64948 frames in 5.0 seconds = 12989.576 FPS

     

    aiglx

    24414 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4882.762 FPS
    24514 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4902.777 FPS
    24368 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4871.873 FPS

     

    aiglx + TripleBuffer

    25933 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5185.283 FPS
    26000 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5199.946 FPS
    26102 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5220.240 FPS

     

    beryl-manager + bery

    22024 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4404.672 FPS
    22165 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4432.927 FPS
    22077 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4415.327 FPS

     

    beryl-manager + beryl + TripleBuffer

    25139 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5027.696 FPS
    23101 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4620.085 FPS
    24231 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4846.063 FPS
    24520 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4903.939 FPS

     

    So TrippleBuffer certianly helps a bit and as you can see from not using bling, my FPS are about 2-3x higher......

     

    All were done the exact same way, 3 terms open and firefox.

    This release was quite a significant jump in traffic. There was possibly a

    distributed attack on redhat.com too, that bled over to the Fedora

    infrastructure. Post-mordom investigations have not completed.

     

    For a general idea, you can check the bittorent tracker:

    http://torrent.fedoraproject.org:6969/

     

    The torrent has seen close to 90TB in Zod traffic. That's not small.

    Not to shabby ;)

  4. I think we should ask arctic to make his review of FC6 like he had done previously.

     

    are you suggesting that we make him work and us reap the benefits? if so, i wholeheartedly agree. :cheesy:

     

    jk arctic. seriously, if you have any comments though that'd rock.

     

    I run rawhide so bascially yes :)

     

    Moving my laptop to it today/night and keep that one on *stable* release. I always like FC/RH stuff so I'm a bit biased :)

     

    Its fast, has bling and looks nice, thats my review ;)

  5. I am using the torrent for the first time. What is the expected time frame? I am showing 2595 seeds. Is that good? I am then showing 15 peers with 7 seeds with a swarm speed of 1Mps.

     

    Just depends on how many people keep filling it up. If your d/l speed seems decent compared to getting it from a mirror than keep using it.

     

    ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/6/*/iso

     

    Normally has good speeds to, but if your downloading at 1mbs that is pretty high ;)

  6. Don't worry about me, worry about my wife. Man, the computer was on from 7pm until 5am when I woke up cos of the little one, and checked the computer to see if it's finished.

     

    Don't wanna go through it again cos she'll go mental, was bad enough the first time ;)

     

    Actually, nah it might be OK maybe they don't have too many updates to install. I had 320 updates after the FC5 install, and since it was near end-of-life if you like, perhaps this is why.

     

    Yeah, and that is what is nice about the re-spins, so if you want to install 3-6 months after the release, less updates :)

  7. If anyone's interested in those 3d Aiglx effects in Mandriva 2007, I made a couple of screenshots of Mona One here

     

     

    I couldn't view your shot from work, kept getting a 504 error. However I've been using it in Rawhide (FC-devel) and its interesting. Are you also using the Nvidia Beta drivers (9xxx)

     

    http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_download...betadriver.html

     

    You can actually get away with some of the effects with the 9xxx drivers and compiz and not need aiglx/xgl.

  8. You can also try starting it from the command line a couple different ways.

     

    # service httpd start
    Starting httpd: [  OK  ]
    # service httpd stop
    Stopping httpd: [  OK  ]

     

    or

     

    # service httpd stop
    Stopping httpd: [  OK  ]
    # /etc/init.d/httpd stop
    Stopping httpd: [  OK  ]

     

    or Use this if your httpd.conf is located some were else. (maybe not a default FC package)

     

    # /usr/sbin/apachectl -f /tools/IBM/httpd/conf/httpd.conf -k start
    # /usr/sbin/apachectl -f /tools/IBM/httpd/conf/httpd.conf -k stop

     

     

    Probably more ways but heh.

     

    Like aioshin mentioned, run the apachectl configtest to make sure your httpd.conf is ok.

     

    # apachectl configtest
    Syntax OK

     

     

     

    Is your Apache the default one that comes with FC or did you build your own?

  9. for some reason i find it contradictory for you to say "minimalism rules!" while using red hat/fedora :lol: ;)

     

    Yes, you're probably right :lol2: . When i say minimalism i mean only the clean desktop without too many stuff on it, not a Slackware linux with OpenBox and CLI only :P .

     

     

    Don't let them harass you, they all smoke crack :ph34r:

  10. If you have selinux enabled, you can try the following:

     

    # setsebool -P mysqld_disable_trans=1

    This disables SELinux from protecting mysqld.

     

     

    If that doesn't work, you can temporarily turn selinux off just for a test.

    # setenforce 0

     

    0 = permissive

    1 = enforcing

     

    check the status with

    # sestatus 
    SELinux status:				 enabled
    SELinuxfs mount:				/selinux
    Current mode:				   enforcing
    Mode from config file:		  enforcing
    Policy version:				 20
    Policy from config file:		targeted

     

    This might also have some relevant info on MySQl:

    http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_in...otes.html#MySQL

     

    Some SELinux info

    http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/en_US/

     

    If turning off SELinux does the trick for you, please file a bug against the policy package.

  11. Check this out if your running Fedora Core 5, this setup uses Dovecot which is in the repository.

     

    http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_fedora_core_5

     

    This is a detailed description how to set up a Fedora Core 5 based server that offers all services needed by ISPs and hosters (web server (SSL-capable), mail server (with SMTP-AUTH and TLS!), DNS server, FTP server, MySQL server, POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc.). This tutorial is written for the 64-bit version of Fedora Core 5, but should apply to the 32-bit version with very little modifications as well.

     

    I will use the following software:

     

    * Web Server: Apache 2.0.x

    * Database Server: MySQL 5.0

    * Mail Server: Postfix (easier to configure than sendmail; has a shorter history of security holes than sendmail)

    * DNS Server: BIND9 (chrooted!)

    * FTP Server: proftpd

    * POP3/IMAP server: dovecot

    * Webalizer for web site statistics
