I checked in lts.conf to see if the update had messed with my config, but everything there appears to be the same (both in /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf and /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf). Does anyone have any idea what has changed? How can I fix this? Also, it appears that local apps (I have firefox and OpenOffice running local, or I DID) can no longer save to profiles /home/username/ (now this is outside the chroot directory). Before I could run the local apps (chrooted) and save to /home/username (outside chroot). I was originally a little confused by that behaviour, but I got used it. Now that its gone, I am at a loss. I understand why the local app might not write/read the non-chroot directory, but the change has changed and created some logistical challenges. How can I fix this? ~Thanks for the help!  <div dir="ltr"> <div> Mathieu Pelletier Biblical Studies Department Theological College of Zimbabwe Tel: +263 9 287032/3 Ext: 214 <a href="mailto:mpelletier@tcz.co.zw">mpelletier@tcz.co.zw</a> <a href="http://www.tczonline.com">www.tczonline.com</a> </div> <div style="padding: 10px 0pt 5px; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3px;">Chat <img src="cid:part1.05050609.00010109@tcz.co.zw" style="vertical-align: middle; padding-right: 5px;" alt="" height="16" width="16">Google Talk: mkpelletier <img src="cid:part2.00060006.05030705@tcz.co.zw" style="vertical-align: middle; padding-right: 5px;" alt="" height="16" width="16">Skype: mathieu.pelletier</div> </div>  On 09/11/2010 06:00 PM, k12osn-request wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:mailman.9.1284220803.8046.k12osn@redhat.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Send K12OSN mailing list submissions to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:k12osn@redhat.com">k12osn@redhat.com</a> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:k12osn-request@redhat.com">k12osn-request@redhat.com</a> You can reach the person managing the list at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:k12osn-owner@redhat.com">k12osn-owner@redhat.com</a> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of K12OSN digest..."

OK, I did find a couple interesting things in regards to CPU info. (This is listed in dmesg as P4/Xeon Extended,,blah,,blah,,,) When doing an cat /proc/cpuinfo The OS is seeing the processor as only 1,so I must have jacked upped and didn't enable 'hyper-threading' in the system bios. My bad. I think Monday I'll go into Bios and enable this and see if the thing boots up alright? Anyone have any ideas on this try?,,,:) Also when I do an dmesg | grep CPU,,,I get a line saying " CPU0 Temperature above threshold,cpu clock throttled". So I am guessing this could be hindering performance somewhat? All fans appear correct as I popped open the case lid and they seem to be spinning like mad as they should. Also In regards to question when I run top,I never see any processes eating cpu at all. This is what has me puzzled for the heavy loads showing at times?

What do you see in %iowait with sar or iostat? And what kind of times do you see as the lower number from 'htparm -t -T devicename'? If it seems low, (below 50MB/sec or so), look through dmseg or /var/log/messages to see how it is detected. You should see something like: hda: 488397168 sectors (250059 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=30401/255/63, UDMA(100) If it isn't UDMA(100) or higher you might need a newer controller - or lower modes can be triggered by a bad or old style cable. </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
