[gentoo-user] Custom Timer Frequency (CONFIG_HZ)?
Just wondering, is it possible to specify a custom timer frequency? E.g., HZ=500 instead of one of the canned values (100, 250, 300, 1000). Rgds, -- FdS Pandu E Poluan ~ IT Optimizer ~ • Blog : http://pepoluan.tumblr.com • Linked-In : http://id.linkedin.com/in/pepoluan

It is possible, but it's a bad idea because non-standard values can result in driver breakage. Some code assumes specific timer granularities (100Hz = 10ms, 250Hz = 4ms, etc). This usually happens with values above 1000Hz, so it might be possible to experiment with non-standard sub-1000Hz values. But why do you want a custom value anyway?

Well, for a firewall, I've calculated (gathered and extrapolated from a lot of sources), the latency per-packet is usually less than 1 ms, at worst still less than 2 ms. Thus, setting the timer freq to 100 Hz (as suggested for 'normal' server load) means the timeslice is way too long (10 ms per time slice). So, I speculate that better -- and uniform -- performance will be achieved with a timer freq of 500 Hz. Of course, this is a wild speculation/guess from me. I never quite understand netfilter/xtables' relation to the timeslices, so I may be talking nonsense :-) Rgds, -- FdS Pandu E Poluan ~ IT Optimizer ~ • Blog : http://pepoluan.tumblr.com • Linked-In : http://id.linkedin.com/in/pepoluan

I never quite understand netfilter/xtables' relation to the timeslices, so I may be talking nonsense :-) This assumes that networking is dependent on the timer interrupt, which doesn't seem to be the case; going from 100Hz to 1000Hz will not result in network latencies dropping by 9ms. I know because I tried it on a server. The only case where network latency improved with a higher HZ was with a game server (Counter-Strike) and that's only because that game's server component is timer dependent when calculating the game world (to do 1000 updates per second it needs a HZ value of 1000). So that application has some real-time demands, meaning a high HZ value helps. Otherwise, you can stick to 100Hz on a server. Higher values won't change anything and will only reduce throughput (though not by much anyway, which is why some people set 1000Hz even on servers.)

Plasma-runtime-4.6.3 is failing. The error appears to be

I don't use kde so I can't be specific, but usually a redefinition is
just a warning -- unless the package is compiled with the -Wall flag

equivalent.
(Of course I meant -Werror, sorry.)
no prob.
No, this is plain wrong. Redefinition of a struct is an error in C and
C++
~$cat foo.c
struct foo {
int i;
};
struct foo {
char* v;
};
~$gcc foo.c -o foo
foo.c:5:8: error: redefinition of 'struct foo'
foo.c:1:8: note: originally defined here
Hm. I know I've seen compiler redefinition messages thousands of times
over the years. Is it really possible that all of those thousands were
errors instead of warnings? If that's true then I've wasted a lot more
time tracking them down than I care to think about :)
struct redefinition is always an error.
Maybe what you saw as a warning was some kind of macro redefined.
~ $ cat bar.c
#define BAR 0
#define BAR 1
int main()
{
}
~$gcc bar.c -o bar
bar.c:2:0: warning: BAR redefined
bar.c:1:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
Note the different wording in the message.

Did you try other synths with jack and rosegarden? Maybe there's a bug in zynaddsubfx. You could try eg hydrogen to test this.

May be I has simply combined the wrong things... What versions did you try? (jackd, rosegarden...) I have no midi hardware in the sense of keyboards, external synths and such. I see. What I want is to set up a melody in rosegarden and to play it via Zynaddsubfx. That's what I was thinking :) A midi step sequencer (not sure if this this correct terminus technicus, though) were also fine... Any ideas? I think, aconnect (part of media-sound/alsa-utils) is the tool you want to try. Start both rosegarden and zynaddsubfx, then use aconnect -lio to see, what in- and out-ports were created on your system. After that use aconnect to connect the rosegarden out-port with the zynaddsubfx in-port. http://alsa.opensrc.org/Aconnect has some details. I never tried this for myself, so I have no practical experience with it. best regards, mcc Hth, Michael If this will become too OT simply use my PM :) Michael Schreckenbauer grim...@gmx.de [11-08-11 10:52]: Hi Meino, Am Donnerstag, 11.

E.g., HZ=500 instead of one of the canned values (100, 250, 300, 1000). It is possible, but it's a bad idea because non-standard values can result in driver breakage. Some code assumes specific timer granularities (100Hz = 10ms, 250Hz = 4ms, etc). This usually happens with values above 1000Hz, so it might be possible to experiment with non-standard sub-1000Hz values. But why do you want a custom value anyway? Well, for a firewall, I've calculated (gathered and extrapolated from a lot of sources), the latency per-packet is usually less than 1 ms, at worst still less than 2 ms. Thus, setting the timer freq to 100 Hz (as suggested for 'normal' server load) means the timeslice is way too long (10 ms per time slice). So, I speculate that better -- and uniform -- performance will be achieved with a timer freq of 500 Hz. Of course, this is a wild speculation/guess from me. I never quite understand netfilter/xtables' relation to the timeslices, so I may be talking nonsense :-) This assumes that networking is dependent on the timer interrupt, which doesn't seem to be the case; going from 100Hz to 1000Hz will not result in network latencies dropping by 9ms. I know because I tried it on a server. That's what I was concerned of. The only case where network latency improved with a higher HZ was with a game server (Counter-Strike) and that's only because that game's server component is timer dependent when calculating the game world (to do 1000 updates per second it needs a HZ value of 1000). So that application has some real-time demands, meaning a high HZ value helps. Otherwise, you can stick to 100Hz on a server. Higher values won't change anything and will only reduce throughput (though not by much anyway, which is why some people set 1000Hz even on servers.) Hmmm... I *do* feel better response (interaction-wise via SSH) if I use 100, so I think I'll settle for 250 Hz. Thanks for the explanation!

So when you see something like MB/s or Mb/s there's no way to know if it's referring to megabits or megabytes? B and b mean whatever the fuck the manufacturer felt like having them mean on any given day[1]. There's no rhyme or reason with disk manufacturers, so you have to resort to independant testers who will tell you that disk have usable capacity of X units, where units is an exactly defined thing that we all understand. [1] There are standards, but not enforceable so manufacturers can often do anything they want. Japanese sound amplifiers are the same - I've seen portable Sony units advertised as 5,000W!

Doesn't MB/sec denote mega*bytes* per second? Those speeds seem good and normal to me, much faster than USB 2.0 would have provided. And really good for a low-power drive. Faster than my USB 3.0 32GB flash drive. :) Here's a benchmark of 2.5 USB 3.0 external drives, in fact yours is one of the tested disks. Your speeds above are actually faster than the benchmarked speeds: http://www.everythingusb.com/images/list/portable-drive-large-file-copy-benchmark.png Here's what I get from the same hard drive plugged into a USB 2.0 port: # hdparm -t /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: Timing buffered disk reads: 102 MB in 3.01 seconds = 33.90 MB/sec # hdparm -t /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: Timing buffered disk reads: 92 MB in 3.00 seconds = 30.66 MB/sec # hdparm -t /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: Timing buffered disk reads: 102 MB in 3.03 seconds = 33.63 MB/sec So USB 2.0 throughput is obviously creating a bottleneck. USB 2.0 throughput is said to be 60 MB/s so I'm surprised I'm not doing much better than 30 MB/s there. USB 2.0 theoretical max is 480Mbps but realistically it is more like 320Mbps, which means your speeds above are just about as fast as anyone is ever going to get on USB 2.0, and they are in line with the fastest speeds I've ever gotten personally on USB 2.0. Roughly about 32 MB/sec is maximum speed on USB 2.0 in my experience. USB 3.0 throughput is said to be 625 MB/s so I must be running up against the speed of the disk itself in USB 3.0 mode, correct? Processing power of the external USB-SATA controller chip could also come into play. But in your case I think you're getting the maximum speed possible from the drive. Be happy. :) Here's what I get from my internal SATA hard drive, but it is surely a much faster disk: # hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 412 MB in 3.01 seconds = 136.99 MB/sec # hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 412 MB in 3.01 seconds = 136.75 MB/sec # hdparm -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 414 MB in 3.01 seconds = 137.55 MB/sec Surely a faster/higher-powered disk and I would guess that USB 3 maybe has higher latency than the SATA controller on your laptop's motherboard.

And if instructed so, why does this dialog still pops up and reminds me of a non existing Jack connection? afaict rosegarden relies on jack for it's audio processing. If no jackd is running this window pops up. I tried the masked version 11.06 of rosegarden: The same effect. I removed the jack USE-Flag from make.conf temporarily and rebuild rosegarden: No change.

[gentoo-user] fighting over keyboard layouts
Hi list, I've just spent the last 4 days or so trying to get an old laptop up to date. It hasn't been sync'd for at least 8 months so you can imagine the hell it's been. Anyway, I've managed to get everything nicely updated but there's one problem that I just can't fix or find relevant discussion about. My /etc/conf.d/keymaps defines my keyboard layout as uk and this works fine in the console. Unfortunately, in gnome the keyboard is resolutely stuck on US. I can add the English UK layout in the keyboard preferences, and it looks fine when I first select it. However they layout doesn't change and when I Show the English UK layout, it shows a standard US layout. No matter what I do (which admittedly isn't very much as I don't know X stuff that well), I cannot get a decent keyboard layout in gnome. Any tips would be appreciated before I rip all the keys off and get the super glue out. Thanks

Re: [gentoo-user] Assigning an IP in AP mode

It can't be specified in /etc/conf.d/net because /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 is not executed since hostapd handles the whole thing. 'ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.1' works but I know I've done it before without issuing that command each time I reboot, I just can't remember how. In /etc/conf.d/net as usual, just disable iwconfig and wpa_supplicant in modules_wlan0 BTW, can I assign IP addresses on the same subnet to the 2 wireless interfaces in my system if one of them connects to the WAN and the other to the LAN? You probably don't want to do that. It will give you two connected routes for the subnet, and only the one with the better metric will be used, so you wont be able to communicate with hosts on the other interface. You could probably setup bridging, but IMO it would almost certainly be better to just use different subnets. I could be wrong though - try it and see what happens.
