trouble installing packages with 16k stack kernel

Lenard · 01-09-2007, 03:19 PM

The line that reads; IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_netbios_ns" ;is the line responsible for the 'Loading additional ip tables modules: ip_conntrack_netbios_n FAILD' issue. Edit the line to read; # IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_netbios_ns" ;and the issue is no more.

You might want to use the chkconfig command again and turn of the apm daemon;

/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 apmd off

The development kernel is found in the Fedora Development site, here is a link to the development sile;

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...e/development/

Currently the kernel is for example (a direct link);

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...6.fc7.i686.rpm

and you will need this with the new kernel;
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...0.6-1.i386.rpm

.

Having trouble with the development kernel. I tried installing the rpm with the software installer and get caught in a cyle of dependecy errors:

When I try to install mkinitrd-6.0.6-1.i386.rpm I get this:

Missing Dependency: nash = 6.0.6-1 is needed by package mkinitrd
Missing Dependency: libnash.so.6.0.6 is needed by package mkinitrd

When I try to install nash-6.0.6-1.i386.rpm I get this:

Missing Dependency: nash = 5.1.19.0.2-1 is needed by package mkinitrd
Missing Dependency: nash = 5.1.19-1 is needed by package mkinitrd

When I try to install nash-5.1.19.0.2-1.i386.rpm I get this:

/tmp/nash-5.1.19.0.2-1.i386.rpm is already installed

??

Lenard · 01-10-2007, 06:18 AM

Install the two packages at the same time;

rpm -Uvh nash-6.0.6-1*.rpm mkinitrd-6.0.6-1*.rpm

Then the kernel;

rpm -ivh kernel*.rpm

Notice the difference in the two commands, the first updates the two packages the second installs the new kernel leaving the current kernel(s) installed so you can choose which kernel to use at boot time.

I got the development kernel installed. Should I boot into it and check the speed of the drives again? Also, I tried playing a file from the command line (cache 1000) and it played and had the same problem. This was the output:

Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
  - Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
  - Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
  - Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
  - Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try some of the lavdopts,
    e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all.
- Broken file
  - Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
  - Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
  - Try -nocache.

Does this help pinpoint the problem?

Start mplayer and adjust your settings for both the Audio and Video;

Menu-->Multimedia-->Mplayer

Right click on the main display window for MPlayer and choose Preferences

Since you have and nVidia card (and hopefully re-setup for the new kernel) try setting the Video to gl or gl2 the audio should be set to alsa or arts, but oss may work if OSS emulation is enabled in the kernel;

A quick check; /bin/cat /proc/modules | grep oss

oldjoe · 01-12-2007, 10:30 AM

Do you want me to boot into the new kernel and try this? Also, I have to set up nvidia still. And it said that my computer is too slow to play this video. Is my computer that slow? Its not that old. Here was my output on the oss check:

Lenard · 01-13-2007, 05:53 AM

Yes use the new kernel and yes you have to re-install the nvidia graphices driver (everytime you install a new kernel BTW). Sorry I cannot answer your question as I do not know your system's cpu speed and throughput.

Using the new kernel check/post;

cat /proc/cpuinfo
hdparm -tT /dev/sda

Also run glxgears (open a xterm session and type; /usr/bin/glxgears) and report your frames per second, example below;

$ glxgears
2068 frames in 5.1 seconds = 404.141 FPS
2280 frames in 5.1 seconds = 449.026 FPS
2280 frames in 5.1 seconds = 445.319 FPS

While this is somewhat slow it is more then enough for mplayer, if less then a 120 FPS or so, then this could be the problem. To end glxgears press the key combo of Ctrl+c

Lenard · 01-15-2007, 05:34 AM

The CPU speed is OK, the frame rates are somewhat slow. What about your drive speed??

(assuming the new kernel); hdparm -tT /dev/sda

You might want to upgrade the graphics interface if possible, you don't need the latest and greatest card but something that at leasts doubles the frame rates would be nice. My laptop has a cheap SiS graphics interface which is around 4x faster then your current one.

oldjoe · 01-15-2007, 09:27 AM

Here is my drive speed.

Code:

[rosatimr@localhost ~]$ sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda
Password:

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   1296 MB in  2.00 seconds = 647.60 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  118 MB in  3.01 seconds =  39.18 MB/sec
[rosatimr@localhost ~]$

So if I update my graphics card, will that stop my computer from freezing when I play the videos? Right now it still freezes when I use xine player, but it doesn't freeze anymore when I use mplayer.

Lenard · 01-15-2007, 09:55 AM

Just use mplayer until you upgrade the graphics interface, no rush. I like that your hard drive speed is much better.

oldjoe · 01-15-2007, 12:42 PM

When I use mplayer, the computer doesn't freeze but it still disables my wireless card (IRQ #5). Is there a way to prevent that from happening? Also I was just browsing for graphics cards and wanted to ask your opinion. When it comes to electronics I am usually the type not to hold back, and I usually buy a top notch product, cause I know how fast stuff gets outdated. But, in this case, this computer is going to be a secondary computer. I know I will buy/build a computer in the near future. Therefore, I would like to purchase a middle of the road graphics card. Do you have any recommendations? What about this one:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1140391860712

Should I consider one with a TV tuner, or is that unimportant?

BTW, I just want to thank you again for helping me with all this. It is a learning process for me and you have really helped me learn some things. Much appreciated.

oldjoe · 01-21-2007, 09:04 AM

I bought a new graphics card. It is installed and I got nvidia installed and everything is working. The only problem, which was my problem from the begining, is that when I watch or download a video, even on youtube for example, my wireless card gets disabled. If the terminal is open, I will here a beep and it will output a line that says, "disabling IRQ #5"

Is there anything I can do? Or is it my wireless card?

Lenard · 01-21-2007, 10:14 AM

What is sharing IRQ 5 on your system??? Is it still same as your post #27 in this thread??

It is important that either the IRQ (5) is not shared with the D-Link DWL-G120 wireless USB adapter in use or that the irqbalance service is running on smp systems;

Not good;

# /sbin/service irqbalance status
irqbalance is stopped

Good;
# /sbin/service irqbalance status
irqbalance is running

Not Good. Does it just need to be turned on? Or do I need to install/configure something?
