wakish Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 (edited) 1) when typing "top", i get a quite long table like. The 1st 2lines are as follows; top - 00:51:29 up 2:17, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.12, 0.26 Tasks: 86 total, 2 running, 83 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie could you explain me what the zombie means? In the link http://archives.mandrivalinux.com/newbie/2...08/msg00742.php, should i do the steps: If it is an Athlon install the athcool package and start the athcool service. Athcool puts the Athlon into low power mode when it is idle. It reduces my CPU temp by over 10 deg. If it is an Intel CPU edit /etc/modprobe.preload and insert the text speedstep-centrino cpufreq_powersave freq_table These modules will load at boot and enable CPU throttling on Intel CPUs. (you may need speedstep-ich instead of speedstep-centrino) Then install powersaved from the contrib mirrors and run the powersaved service. Powersaved will scale back the CPU speed whenever the CPU load drops. Its supposed to work on Athlons too, but I have always used athcool instead. ?? what is the address of the contrib mirrors? :huh: Edited February 25, 2006 by wakish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalex20 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 1) when typing "top", i get a quite long table like.could you explain me what the zombie means? UNIX-like systems keep some information about a process even after its exit / death, until the "parent process" of the given one asks about its state. "Zombie" is just that - a process that is actually not a process, but only a purely informational entry in the process table, "dead alive". what is the address of the contrib mirrors? :huh: http://easyurpmi.zarb.org Look for "source contrib".

wakish Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 (edited) Thanks chalex20!! On the contrib site, i get this urpmi.addmedia --update updates ftp://mandrake.cict.fr/Mandrakelinux/official/updates/2006.0/main_updates/ with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia main ftp://mandrake.cict.fr/Mandrakelinux/official/2006.0/i586/media/main with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://mandrake.cict.fr/Mandrakelinux/official/2006.0/i586/media/contrib with media_info/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia jpackage ftp://mandrake.cict.fr/Mandrakelinux/official/2006.0/i586/media/jpackage with media_info/hdlist.cz i should enter line by line after each execution/download..?

chalex20 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 (edited) Thanks chalex20!! On the contrib site, i get this ...snipped... i should enter line by line after each execution/download..? Not exactly "line by line" as seen on the screen. "urpmi.addmedia .... with hdlist.cz" is actually one command. So, you open a root terminal ( or "su" in your regular terminal), and then you feed in the commands you received, one by one ( you may unite them, as a matter of fact, but spotting errors is harder in this case).

arctic Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Basically it's a process to ease the download of all the updates and free contributed softwares available, rit? Yes. Easyurpmi allows quick and simple installation procedures and easy patching of your system. If you need to learn more about urpmi, read e.g. this FAQ https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=10600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakish Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 (edited) thanks! arctic i saw the klamav anti-virus in the available packages..i have install it. But, while configuring it, i saw it's a beta version. :huh: ..?? And i see there is 2integrated things, Clamav and Klamav Do you useit? could you tell me more about it? Edited February 26, 2006 by wakish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Clamav is used from the commald line only. Klamav is a graphical clamav-frontend for the KDE desktop. I don't know why it is still beta (Mine is listed as 0.88-1.fc4). Ask the developer. :) From what I know, both work pretty well. I know some people who keep their RedHat servers (where people connect and store stuff with Windows-boxes) clean using clamav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 (edited) "beta" in Linux is very different from the common windoze status... anyway, it's stable and good. klamav is a KDE frontend/gui for clamav, which is the heart of the AV system, and is commandline. PS: Oops, arctic beat me to it... Edited February 26, 2006 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Muahahaha. :lol: Just one note: here is the link to the Clamav-documentation as a pdf-file. Worth a read http://www.clamav.net/doc/0.88/clamdoc.pdf The FAQ is here http://www.clamav.net/faq.html#pagestart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakish Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 (edited) you guys are really coool :D Btw i have browsed and read infos about kde and kdevelop. i have understood that in kde 3.4 and 3.5 (in mandriva2006 there i got kde3.4) there has not been a version of kdevelop for mandriva linux. And hence that is why i have not got the kdevelop package. Plz arctic could you confirm on this? I have downloaded a version of kdevelop3.0.0 which was suited for kde versions below 3.3 i think. But it was not properly installed :( Regards! Edited February 26, 2006 by wakish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 For finding out more about packages, use urpmq -fi packagename. I got this information: [root@localhost fabian]# urpmq -fi kdevelopName : kdevelop Version : 3.2.2 Release : 3mdk Group : Development/C++ Size : 31069635 Architecture: i586 Source RPM : kdevelop-3.2.2-3mdk.src.rpm Build Host: n5.mandriva.com Packager : Montel Laurent <lmontel@mandriva.com> URL : ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.2.2/src/ Summary : Integrated Development Environment for C++/C Description : The KDevelop Integrated Development Environment provides many features that developers need as well as providing a unified interface to programs like gdb, the C/C++ compiler, and make. KDevelop manages or provides: * All development tools needed for C++ programming like Compiler, Linker, automake and autoconf * KAppWizard, which generates complete, ready-to-go sample applications * Classgenerator, for creating new classes and integrating them into the current project * File management for sources, headers, documentation etc. to be included in the project * The creation of User-Handbooks written with SGML and the automatic generation of HTML-output with the KDE look and feel * Automatic HTML-based API-documentation for your project's classes with cross-references to the used libraries; Internationalization support for your application, allowing translators to easily add their target language to a project * WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) creation of user interfaces with a built-in dialog editor * Debugging your application by integrating KDbg * Editing of project-specific pixmaps with KIconEdit * The inclusion of any other program you need for development by adding it to the "Tools" menu according to your individual needs. As you can see, it is version 3.2.2. I don't know if that is the version you need, but it is at least newer than the 3.0 package you got from some obscure place. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakish Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 1) i got a problem when i did that command, see: urpmq -fi kdevelop problem reading hdlist or synthesis file of medium "main" no package named kdevelop 2) Your link, ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.2.2/src/ gives me this error on page: File not found You tried to access the address ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.2.2/src/, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page. :( DO you know another good place to download the kdevelop arctic? i need it. (btw my kde is version 3.4) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
