It's 2015, and OOM handling still sucks
by Neal Becker 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

I have a pretty nice workstation, with 8 cores and 32G RAM. A stupid little python program just killed it by consuming all the memory, driving it into swapping hell. I couldn't even ssh into it - I started up ssh and went for coffee. On return I still didn't have a prompt. Had to power cycle it. This is F23, everything is setup default regarding kernel memory policies, etc. So, can we configure things to give a better experience? Can we make this default?

Changing systems

Hi all and Happy Thanksgiving, Could I take 2 HD's out of 1 computer, move them to a different computer, obviously having to reinstall grub and such, would they work without having to do much of anything else? I know I have to make sure the correct one is booted up and how they are connected, and the BIOS sees them correctly. Anything else to know first? The computers are both pretty new so not like going from 10 year old to a 1 year old or anything, both only 3-5 years old even if that old. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Best lil town on Earth!"

Appending the file modified date to the file name
by Robert Moskowitz 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

I am pulling a bunch of recordings off my android phone. I found simple-mtpfs to be able to use 'cp -a' to actually copy the files and preserve their date information. Now I want to rename these files, which are all lectures to have the date of creation/lastmodified in the file name. All my searching has only found how to put the current date into the file name, I can'f find anything on using the actual file date. Can anyone point me to how to do this?

California not authenticating to google calendar after F-23 upgrade.
by Derrik Walker v2.0 30 Nov '15

Well, I discovered a kind of big issue with 23 after all ... My google account dissipated from California. When I try to add it, it wont authenticate anymore and gives me a message about a resource on Google's web site not being available anymore. Unfortunately, the screen wont let me copy and paste it. I'm using the XFCE spin, but this worked perfectly fine in F-22. The caldav calendar I have configured is fine. Any ideas? -- -- Derrik Derrik Walker v2.0, RHCE dwalker(a)doomd.net "Those UNIX guys, they think weird!" -- John C. Dvorak
