Boot in Single CPU mode
Hello to everyone, I've been required to start a SLC4 box in Single CPU mode, does anyone know how to do that? In /proc/cpuinfo I should have 1 CPU, my actual output is : processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 2793.372 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 3 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl cid xtpr bogomips : 5590.19 processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 2793.372 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 1 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 3 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl cid xtpr bogomips : 5586.25 Thanks in advance to everyone who is going to help!

It doesn't support pulseaudio, much to the annoyance of those of us who use more up-to-date distros than RHEL/SL at home. I just wish there was one clear winner among the distros for audio, instead of the plethora of audio architectures out there, but I digress ... According to the skype webpage's support section here: http://www.skype.com/help/guides/soundsetup_linux.html Quote: OSS (Open Sound System): The oldest sound support available in Linux. This type is natively supported by Skype. snip ALSA is more modern than OSS. Currently, Skype does not natively support ALSA, so you will need to install ALSA OSS emulation layer in order to use ALSA devices in Skype. snip ESD (Enlightened Sound Daemon): This is GNOME default. Run Skype through esddsp pipe to enable sound. Do it like this (again, assuming you are in the directory where skype executable resides): esddsp ./skype Be sure to run esd daemon using esd -d /dev/dsp because on some distros (e.g. Gentoo) the esddsp wrapper checks for parameters present to esd daemon and won't detect the daemon if there are no parameters. Anyone every tried to configure either the OSS emulation layer for alsa, or alternatively used the ESD method? I tried looking for an alsa emulation layer for OSS support, but a quick search in SL repositories returned no results for the keyword 'oss'. I'm running GNOME so I have esd installed, but I get this: $ esd -d /dev/dsp - using device /dev/dsp ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM /dev/dsp Also, I tried $ esddsp ./skype with no errors, but I still can't hear my recorded message when I use the test service. I'm not sure what to do now, but I thought this e-mail might jog someone's memory on how it could be done? Regards, Craig

Alan SL 4 used separate UP and SMP kernels, unlike the unified SL 5. Your grub.conf should have 2 entries in there, just comment out the ELsmp entry, reorder so it isn't first, or change the default variable. Cheers, Mark -- Mr. Mark V.

print jobs not send to disabled queues on cups server
We send all jobs to cups (IPP) servers (scientific linux 5.3, cups-1.3.7). If one queue on server is disabled for printing but enabled for spooling then if the first job from client will be send to server the local queue will also be disabled and the job remain in the local cups queue. Jobs would only be sent if the server queue is enabled. The local queue is then explicit to enable by root. Is this a known bug ? What can I do in scientific linux ? Best regards Matthias

D'oh! :-) I'd recommend Mark's last suggestion -- if it's more than a one-off situation, change the default= line in your grub.conf file. Alan.
Re: Boot in Single CPU mode
ok thank you very much i ended up changing the default line in Grub ;) OT: has anyone experience with the TDAQ atlas' triggering software?
