I've been busy making a brand new Swedish translation. It's now complete and I mailed it to Brian earlier, since I can't commit localizations yet. Anyway... your Ubuntu 64-bit version now passes all unit tests on a virtual machine with two processors. Your suggestion idea that the kernel had to be SMP-enabled to use multiple processors under VMWare was correct. There is no need for a complete re-install. First, check "dmesg | grep processor". That should show that only one processor is used and three are unused. Shut down the VM and change the VM settings to use two processors. Start up again and use the Synaptics packagemanager to search for "Linux-image". Pick the generic image for x86-64, install (or re-install) it and re-boot. That's it! "dmesg | grep processor" will now show that two processors are used and two unused. You may have to turn off indexing to avoid freezing in the middle of testing. The trackerd service is problematic (see this thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tracker/+bug/131983). Note that Fusion's virtual SMP lacks the hardware supported scheduling that some of VMWare's server products has. It basically just swaps memory from processor to processor now and then. But I still think it's very nice to be able to test SMP this way at all.
Hi Jonas, Thank you very much for the info. I intend to try this shortly. Andi.. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "chandler-dev" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/chandler-dev
