Re: Fresh lenny install and suspend to ram problems

I solved the problem: actually a lot of things became clearer after have read http://wiki.debian.org/Suspend, which explain a bit what the system does whenever one push the sleep button. The first half of the problem is solved by adding a file called /etc/pm/config.d/01config with the following

Might be a long shot, but I had similar problems on my laptop. It turned out to be the radeonfb module in my case ... This laptop has a radeon mobility 9000 which is supported by xorg's radeon driver which again made it possible for me to use radeonfb to get a nice terminal resolution (tty[1-6]). I

Hi everyone. I just managed to get "Potato" but it seems that I have a problem with my RAM. I currently have 192M installed in my AMD/Athlon 700 Box. Of course I added the correct line, ie: append="mem=192M" in lilo.conf and ran /sbin/lilo. Linux swap partition: >600 MB Everything was fine, for

I think this is totally normal. Thats why linux is fast. And if you need more memory for applications it gets freed from cache or buffers. No need to worry. hth, Rolf On Tue, 28 Mar 2000, Carlos Bustamante G. wrote: > Hi, I'm a litlle worry about the memory (RAM) used by my machine. > I'm using

I think that isn't normal (normally on PC a good system with XWin etc. uses something like 64 Mb of RAM). You must see which apps use too much memory (I suggest you to see kernel modules such like NFS). Which system are you using? On Tue, 28 Mar 2000, Carlos Bustamante G. wrote: > Hi, I'm a litl

This is normal, and done by kernel to keep memory full all the time, so access time to binaries is less (so your machine works faster). This can only be a problem on systems with low RAM (I remember having 48M, and having it all full.going into swap even when I was just running X alone). If you
