Are there more network issues? Over the last ~2 hours connectivity to my VPS has been sporadic to nonexistent. (I'm brycec for those that don't realize) I've only just started digging into it, maybe others know more already... (And at this second, it's looking okay...) Holy shit, might just be my VPS - 15 minute loadavg is 122. I don't think it's anything caused by my own VPS workload... Is somebody beating up kvr21? Okay so it actually was me, and specifically smokeping going hog-wild on RAM usage. *sigh* Ignore me. hehe brycec: did it run many instances at once somehow or leak terribly? whats the best way to connect remotely to a graphical Ubuntu Desktop from Windows? I unsuccessfully tried xrdp, x2go, freenx does not seem to have packages for 16.04 vnc? last i looked X on Windows didn't seem so great any recommended version of vnc? you could also run a virtual machine on windows and do remote X I think I have seen tightvnc no recommended. i don't try and show linux on windows i'd just use putty myself :) mnathani, x2vnc? there's also synergy if you just want to share keyboard/mouse between the two and have multiple monitors I am using synergy currently but would like to access the ubuntu box remotely will try that remote x from a vm should this command do it: ssh -X blyman@the-server that will run applications from the computer you connect into locally which btw is a huge security hole i mean if you run X applications from a compromised server it can steal stuff from your local machine i still reckon synergy is the way to go atm. but i kind of wish i could move chrome windows from one computer to another i can't even run chrome on both at once, as shared /home you could, if you were ben on one machine and mercutio on the other :-) i might be able to symlink something to hostname is there a portable install of chrome? Where you dont need to put it in the default location dunno it uses normal dot directories so you can always symlink to file system and then back again there's also chrome --user-data-dir i didn't know that I only learned because I typed chrome --help atm i just split between chromimum and google-chrome-beta the memory reduction in new chrome didn't seem to help a lot though i wonder if having local cache would help much i don't really notice any overhead for NFS but my old benchmark program for chrome isn't supported anymore :( use Xmarks to share tabs/history/bookmarks between browsers? chrome actualyl history sharing between devices automatically not tabs though and not with firefox :) heh my main problem with firefox atm is if you wipe the url bar to paste a new url into it it saves into into your cut buffer adds it to the X11 buffer without highlighting the text? Well it highlights when you click on it to delete to paste If you just paste it adds to existing URL mercutio, control-l ? no joy i think i know how to solve it though actually, i just need to tell firefox to not have a url for new windows even if ctrl-l worked, that's an unwieldy combo if using mouse Leak terribly. 15:43:41 @mercutio | brycec: did it run many instances at once somehow or leak terribly? i've noticed over time that lots of linux stuff has increased in virtual size heaps i dunno if it's the way it's accounted that's changed or if virtual size has gone up like my main smokeping processes are using 224864 virt, 38184 to 18820 resident err 388184 to 38820 still 38 mb resident seems a lot the fastcgi processes are even higher though actually, i noticed that changing from 32bit to 64bit with perl had a huge increase in memory usage. but yeah looking at both monitoring hosts they're using over 200 megabit residential megabytes etc damn i need coffee My smokeping slaves are all automatically restarted daily or if they exceed 512MB memory usage (whenever either matches). The master is normally okay, but this morning it just went kaboom if you don't use fastcgi performance is terrible though. i don't restart mine and i've never had an issue i'm doing multi-master though. Considering my slaves reach 512MB... Yeah, it's necessary ;) but your master never has issues normally? Right curious maybe that's related to how i don't have issues normally heh i've had heaps of memory usage from amavis before it's only about 135mb per process now though in years gone by it seemed insane considering i used amavis on 64mb openbsd box :)
