Could you share that with us?

Can you post the script you use to start your server (the one that works when you run it from command line) and exactly what you put in rc.local?

Kinda harsh and not likely to draw serious attention, IMHO.

That's a plain kernel. This is an SMP kernel:

You can try installing lm_sensors urpmi lm_sensors Then run sensors-detect. After setting that up, try running pwmconfig, which will write a fancontrol config file (use the command man fancontrol and man pwmconfig to learn more). Your motherboard may or may not support this.

I found this script here http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/coasterless.htm#rawread for Linux #!/bin/sh device=$1 blocksize=`isoinfo -d -i $device | grep "^Logical block size is:" | cut -d " " -f 5` if test "$blocksize" = ""; then echo catdevice FATAL ERROR: Blank blocksize >&2 exit fi blockcount=`isoinfo -d -i $device | grep "^Volume size is:" | cut -d " " -f 4` if test "$blockcount" = ""; then echo catdevice FATAL ERROR: Blank blockcount >&2 exit fi command="dd if=$device bs=$blocksize count=$blockcount conv=notrunc,noerror" echo "$command" >&2 $command ./rawread /dev/cdrom | md5sum without mounting it, but with the CD in the drive. Assuming, of course, that /dev/cdrom is your CD ROM drive. This md5sum should match the ISO. I disagree with the 4x burn speed, but we could debate that all day. :D I have burned all my data CDs at max speed and created not one coaster. Now, music CDs, I won't burn at higher than 4x, due to loss of quality.

I don't know about a gkrellm plugin, but those look like shell escape characters. Are you creating this file from a script? If so, can you post the script? If not, what terminal emulator are you using? Have you tried a different one?

Can you possibly show us a screenshot of what the output in your file looks like?

For the record, 2.6.12-12mdksmp also does not give me hyperthreading.

There is a perl module to handle Wiki -> different formats, found here: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Text-WikiForma...t/WikiFormat.pm But I am no expert in perl, so hopefully, someone can help you write a perl script to do what you wish or if you have the expertise, you can do it yourself.

< root /home/omar > cat /boot/config-2.6.12-13mdksmp | grep CONFIG_SCHED_SMT CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=y I have tried acpi=ht and acpi=on in lilo and neither shows me two processors in /proc/cpuinfo or in top. (Yes, I run lilo -v after each edit :P) It was always my understanding that acpi=on would give you hyperthreading enabled (if using an SMP kernel) and acpi=ht just enables acpi just enough to give the hyperthreading capacity of acpi. Still confused.

Good question. This is a Toshiba laptop and I do not see it in the BIOS. I've never fiddled with hyperhreading in the BIOS and had it working fine with SMP last stable release.

I cannot get hyperthreading enabled in the SMP kernel. acpi is running and I have acpi=on in my lilo.conf and have tried acpi=ht.

Your wish is my command: Gentoo SUCKS!

I have been using Man(drake/driva) since 8.1 and all of my 'upgrades' have been using urpmi and only once have I run into any trouble (it had to do with naming conventions changing and it was pretty easily corrected). Now, from the things I have heard, I am in a very small minority, but I don't see how; I'm no rocket scientist. Using the urpmi method, the machine doesn't even have to be offline until you upgrade the kernel.

That's very odd. Mine looks exactly like this: KERNEL=="tty[p-za-e][0-9a-f]*", NAME="pty/s%n", SYMLINK+="%k", GROUP="tty", OPTIONS="last_rule" KERNEL=="pty[p-za-e][0-9a-f]*", NAME="pty/m%n", SYMLINK+="%k", GROUP="tty", OPTIONS="last_rule" I am intrigued now.

I want to clarify something in my own mind: Had you followed these instructions of mine also? I need to know if it was not enough: Because this should've done exactly what ian suggested.

I use the latest Mandriva and I have 256 pty's created at boot. I searched in vain to find where/how they are created, but I assume the small amount of pty's on your system has something to do with your security level.

Is this Mandrake 10? If so, there is a possible fix here: http://cxterm.sourceforge.net/ because i highly doubt this number on your system is incorrect or insufficient: < root /etc > cat /proc/sys/kernel/pty/max 4096

In /etc/sysconfig/network add these lines (or edit them to read): GATEWAY=192.168.245.245 GATEWAYDEV=ath0

When you uninstalled Gnome, you probably also uninstalled all your themes. Try reinstalling gnome-themes, gtk-themes, and gtk-theme-switch and then you will have to change your gtk theme again by running the command 'switch' (without the quotes). Reinstalling gnome-themes will probably reinstall a bunch of gnome-libs, but not the complete Gnome.

Change the url in the properties window to trash://

If you install nail (not mailx) you will have a mailx command: but it will be /usr/bin/mailx
