System Freeze after about 1 hour of BrowsingForum: User Feedback Topic: System Freeze after about 1 hour of Browsing started by: MASSRADIUS Posted by MASSRADIUS on Jan. 23 2005,01:07
Hello,Finally got my Linksys wireless card working a few weeks ago and have been using DSL for most of my web surfing (except for Yahoo! Chess!). I always use the "DSL TORAM" option as my CD player is external and it's anoying to have that hanging out on my couch. Anyway after lots of surfing the system willl freeze up and my only option is to hold down the power key. Is it because I've copied DSL to ram and after lots of surfing etc. I run out of RAM and freeze up my computer? I'm guessing as websites load they all of the info is written to the RAM but it would be nice to have some sort of CTRL+ALT+DEL option to shut it down without using the power key THANKS Posted by ke4nt1 on Jan. 23 2005,01:23
Try loading up the java1.5.0 extension if you want to play all the Yahoo Games.Check your cache size in Firefox Preferences.. set it low < 1MB . 73 ke4nt Posted by cbagger01 on Jan. 23 2005,05:54
Try using a swap partition or a swap file.This will allow your computer to use virtual memory on your hard drive in the event that you run out of physical RAM. Posted by ke4nt1 on Jan. 23 2005,06:42
You can also try the keycombo alt-SysRq - b to reboot the box without powerdown..73 ke4nt Posted by MASSRADIUS on Jan. 25 2005,17:46
I'm still a relative linux noob (you may recognize me from such noob topics as "Good Book about the command line" or "wlanctl-ng and iwconfig issues "). Are there any tutorials on how to load the java1.5.0 extension (or extensions in general)? I'm guessing that involves rebuilding my DSL CD or pendrive installtion and I'm willing to learn if someone could point me in the right direction. I love surfing using DSL....feels much safer as nothing can infest my employer's computer! Posted by MASSRADIUS on Jan. 25 2005,17:48
I'm not sure I've ever noticed the "SysRq" portion of the "alt-SysRq - b" key combo...where is that loczted?

Hello,I'm guessing in order to install java I'll need to do a HD install...is that right? Posted by ke4nt1 on Jan. 27 2005,00:02
The "SysRq" button is usually an alternate for your "Print Screen" button..Mine is located above my six pack of insert/delete group.. And the jre1_5_0.uci works well in the liveCD and poorman's/frugal versions of DSL.. Get it in the .uci section of the repository.. I have run many java apps using this package " /opt/jre1_5_0/bin/java /opt/whatever.jar " .. 73 ke4nt Posted by MASSRADIUS on Jan. 27 2005,23:08
I just got the "Linux Pocket Guide" so I'll try to decipher your post and see what I can come up with. I'm guessing I'll need to browse to the " /opt/jre1_5_0/bin/java /opt/whatever.jar " directory and launch it....I'll mess around with it and come back if I'm getting nowhereSysRq...never had to use it in XP...right under the printscreen button like you said Thanks ke4nt1 Posted by TruBlueEQ on Aug. 26 2005,23:09
that does not happen automatically? How do you use a swap partition? Posted by cbagger01 on Aug. 28 2005,03:13
1) Boot DSL and open a terminal window.2) Type: sudo su cfdisk /dev/hda (where hda is the device name for your hard drive) 3) Use cfdisk commands to create a new partition type "Linux swap". Remember the location of this partition. For this example, it is partition number 3. Write the new table and exit. 4) Type: mkswap /dev/hda3 exit exit 5) Reboot, and DSL should automatically detect the new swap partition. |
