[coLinux-users] ndis-bridge can't work well with pppoe?

[panhudie g. <pan...@gm...>]

I tried to use pppoe in colinux, but pppoeconf can't find modem when using
ndis-bridge, changing to pcap-bridge seems not have this problem.

I tested the latest version coLinux-20081123 under a winxp sp3 machine and a
win2003 sp2 machine. The host Windows's network card is connected to a
switch, and the switch is connected to a adsl modem.

Thanks ahead.

Re: [coLinux-users] \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 is much slower than \Device\Harddisk0\Partition0

[Boris <tl...@ya...>]

Hello Henry,

According to
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-asynchronous-cobd-as-default--p16040183.html
setcobd=async doesn't change the speed 3 times. So I decided to use Partition0
instead of  Partition1 and mount it with -loop option. But before that I
formated NTFS partition (Partition1) as reiserfs and ran hdparm, dd, etc. The
speed changed from 6MB/sec to 19-21MB/sec. I'm wondering why unmounted NTFS
partition ( or rather a partition without an assigned letter ) is much slower
than reiserfs partition ? Anyway now I'm quite happy with 20MB/sec.

One more observation: when it was NTFS partition kernel complained about I/O
error during the boot: end_request: I/O error, dev codb0, sector 78156160. The
size of the partition is 78156162 sectors. I tried to dd the last sectors and
got the same error at sector 78156160. Now I don't have that error with
reiserfs. Just in case I made reiserfs a little bit smaller.

for the \Device\Harddisk0\Partition0, I would say, that Windows use less 
software layers between coLinux-nt-kernel driver and the disk sector 
layer. Or you have a virusscanner that acts only on partitions and not 
on native sectors.

A better performance you would have with image files. Image files uses 
RAM as cache.

Depent on your situation the cobd option "async" works some times 
faster. It gives more cpu usage to Linux. But you can not measument it 
directly with hdparm. Without "async" (default is 'sync'), the cpu is 
suspend from Linux side and hangs in Windows, up to finish the read or 
write operation. For large data blocks the cpu hangs longer on Windows. 
This is good for many small block transfers.
With the "async", the cpu is faster back to Linux. But have more 
OS-Switches (Linux-Windows and back). This is better for large file 
transfers. This is slower for multiple small reads/writes.

On list subject "asynchronous cobd as default" exist some test results:
http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=16040183

In the devel version 0.8.0 exist a new scsi interface for partitions. 
This code is a liddle more optimized for speed, and supports only async. 
The \Device\Harddisk0\Partition0 you can use as scsi0. You can use a 
partition for coLinux there, and Windows can work on a NTFS partion at 
the same time. But, be carefully with the NTFS partition on the same 
disk. Don't mount a partition that Windows has also mounted, also 
Readonly is not trust for read, you risk wrong data and kernel panics!

"Async" means, that the CPU goes back from Windows to Linux before the 
outstanding read/write operation is finished. An additional software 
interrupt will than acknowledge the disk command completion. This 
interrupt need an extra OS-Switch and cost time.

[coLinux-users] \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 is much slower than \Device\Harddisk0\Partition0

[Boris T. <tl...@ya...>]

Hi All,
I wanted colinux to access real ReiserFS partition on my hard disk.
When I run colinux with cobd0=\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 then hdparm 
-t /dev/cobd0 says that the speed is about 5.9MB/sec.
However when I run colinux with cobd0=\Device\Harddisk0\Partition0 then 
hdparm -t /dev/cobd0 says that the speed is about 19.3MB/sec.
In both cases the CPU is busy for 60-80% when something is been reading 
from the /dev/cobd0. Just in case: the partition is NTFS( temporarily ) 
and covers the whole disk. The normal speed ( measured with hdparm -t 
under cygwin ) for that disk is about 57MB/sec.
As far as I understand I can't pass the whole disk as cobdX and mount 
some partition from that disk later. Is there any way to access some 
partition with the same ( or better :-) ) speed as for the whole disk ? 
Any Ideas ?
Thanks,
Boris

All known bugs for slirp are fixed in a small update file:

Re: [coLinux-users] [coLinux-devel] [about cofs rename bug]

[Paolo M. <pao...@gm...>]

Hi,
I was trying to understand the problem related to rename on cofs (and
check if the patch was OK for me).
To do it I write a simple script to run on cofs.
This is the script (I call it test.sh)

dd if=/dev/zero of=CCCC count=5 2>/dev/null
mv CCCC DDDD
cont=1
while [ $cont = 1 ]
do
   stat DDDD 2>&1 > /dev/null
   if [ $? != 0 ]; then
       echo -n ERROR
   else
       echo OK
       cont=0
   fi
done

If I run it, it does not show me the problem related to rename on cofs.
On my PC I don't see the problem. This is my output.

root@darkstar:/win/d# ./test.sh
OK
root@darkstar:/win/d# ./test.sh
OK
root@darkstar:/win/d# ./test.sh
OK
root@darkstar:/win/d# ./test.sh
OK
root@darkstar:/win/d# ./test.sh
OK
root@darkstar:/win/d# ./test.sh
OK
root@darkstar:/win/d# ./test.sh
OK
root@darkstar:/win/d# ./test.sh
OK

*But I see an other problem*

If I run it several times and I relanch it ***quickly*** after
termination I see these message, that sometimes show an error.
This error, if I understand correctly, is different from the #2176188.

root@darkstar:/win/d# ./test.sh
mv: `CCCC' and `DDDD' are the same file
OK
root@darkstar:/win/d# ./test.sh
OK
root@darkstar:/win/d# ./test.sh

OK
root@darkstar:/win/d# ./test.sh
OK

Protection against wiki-spams is required today.

Could that SF-registration be cirumvented by posting an editing account to be
used by all users how have time to spent for edits?
Spammer script's can't detect it.
See
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AddASerialPort
for example.

not good, but adds can be removed by ABP etc.
good because the server is "payed".
But SF got money too.

[Steve W. <li...@la...>]

On my opinion i dont like the way SourceForge integrates the services
like bugtracker and wiki because the are ugly to use and the look.

So i give a third suggestion. Why dont move to google code. The have a
very clean and easy bugtracker and also support for wiki and svn version
control.

Good summary!
Both are based in mediawiki, so it's only the hosting.
For me as phpwiki developer and also having troubles with SF for a long
time with their proxies I would choose (stay with) wikia.

the build http://xoomer.alice.it/paolo.minazzi/colinux-console-nt.exe 
from Paolo works only with coLinux stable version 0.7.3.

For coLinux devel version 0.8.0 please use:
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/devel-0.8.0/20080907-Snapshot/packages/console-sdl-20080920.zip

Unpack the ZIP file and use it with parameter "-t sdl", for example:
   colinux-daemon -t sdl kernel=vmlinux initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0

Remember: This console is very fresh and under development.

Re: [coLinux-users] graphical console for colinux

[Alexander D. <ad...@gm...>]

Hi Paolo,

In my humble opinion this is really good start. I've been using coLinux for
a long time and I still keep wondering how is good this piece of software.
Unfortunately the standard console cannot be actually used as an everyday
terminal and I use CRT or Putty instead. But your stuff seems to become a
great alternative. If you still have a wish to develop it: publish it under
an open source license, add tabs, configuration file or something -- that
would be great. ;-)

Regards,
Alexander

The frequency is a personal taste ;=)
I will put a #define so everyone can adjust it easyly.
The other suggestion is interesting .... without focus stop blinking
... I will do it.

Hi people,
yesterday evening I have sent to Henry the source code.
I have investigate on the error that someone of you have (the flushing
windows and immediate exit).
I thought it was a race condition error.
I have tried to add some Sleep so I can see the problem, but nothing.
Henry now is able to build the console and he can use it without
problem,both alunching it automatically by daemon and launching by
hand.
Maybe there is some version problem (kernel,daemon,compiler).

Bye,
Paolo

Re: [coLinux-users] colinux-console-nt

[Paolo M. <pao...@gm...>]

I cannot see the problem on my systems.
I have downloaded the latest 0.7.3-20080524 and used it my
colinux-console-nt.exe.
For me it works both if
- daemon launches it
- launching by hand
I have to investigate.
Thanks for reply
Paolo

I understand your suggestion .... when it will work, his name will be
colinux-console-sdl ;=)

[coLinux-users] thanks ...

[Paolo M. <pao...@gm...>]

Hi maniac

I have added some debug messages and I have updated the same
executable in the same site.

Also Henry had the same problem but we have arrived to the conclusion
it was a version problem.

Please try the new one, always at

If you have problems (and I think you will have the same error), please say me

1) Your BPP for video card (8,16,24,32 ?)
2) Your colinux version (Please not only the version number but also
the data). I'm using 0.7.3-20080512.
3) your console size (the standard 80x25?)

VERY IMPORTANT ! a possible solution
==============================
If I remember correctly I found a solution with Henry.
- run colinux daemon with -d option, so daemon does not start the console
- then run my colinux-console-nt.exe by hand

I don't know why, but if you do in this way, it works.

I'm sorry. I don't have this problem. I have tried it on different PC
and on VMWARE ....

Thanks for your time
Paolo

[coLinux-users] graphical console for colinux

[Paolo M. <pao...@gm...>]

Hi colinux users,
I have published a first version of my colinux console on

http://xoomer.alice.it/paolo.minazzi/colinux-console-nt.exe

Use it quietly, I have compiled it with mingw under vmware. It cannot
have viruses.

I can easily add other font. This one is the version with 8x14 pixel
for each char.
The console size if 80x25 chars.

I have tried it enough and it is possible use it without problems.
I have used it at work ( I develop on an ARM linux system) and I use
colinux to cross compiling.
I have tested the console on 0.7.3 stable version.

* Copy and Paste
  It is possible using the mouse. Double click select and copy a word.
  Selecting copy the text in the clipboard
  Right button do paste.

* How try it
  The easiset way is to rename the old colinux-console-nt.exe and copy
the new one.
  An other way can be detach the old colinux-console-nt.exe with
ALT+WIN and run my version.
The only thing I have to remind is to avoid paste-ing of large block
od fata because it can block the colinux machine.

As soon as it is very very stable, I will send source to Henry.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Paolo

[coLinux-users] coLinux nerwork setup question

[Lonnie C. <lo...@ou...>]

Greetings All,

I have only recently begun to use coLinux and am going to utilize it for a
project that I am working on.

My project wil be running a small version of linux whose purpose is to only
handle some data coming into a few specific ports on the host system. The
ports, on the host (windows) system will not be handled by any windows
services.

So what this basically means is that the Host (windows) machine will have a
static IP and gateway already set up and that the coLinux system will be a
sub-process on the windows machine.

What I want to do is to somehhow set up coLinux so that I can port-forward
the needed ports to the coLinux system so that it can handle the requests
and then the coLinux system will respond and forward back the data through
the hosts back out to the network.

My questions are related to if, since the coLinux system is being masked
from the network in any case, then is it possible for me to assign it the
same IP and gateway as the host system.

This is really a question of setting up Open Mosix on a small linux system
under coLinux which will only handle just Open Mosix and nothing else on the
system.

Since the Host machine already has its IP on the DNS server and can be seen
by other machines on the local network, I want to utilize that so that I do
not have to re-configure the coLinux system.

What this give me is the ability to not have to use a DHCP server for the
Open Mosix nodes and would just have the same IP ( although in a masqueraded
way) and gate as the host system.

Sounds to me like it should be doable in some way, but I am just not
completely clear on how to possibly go about it or perhaps there might be a
better solution.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Lonnie

Thx for the Fedora images

I was working with fedora 7 - Colinux Kernel and i was planning to build 
the Fedora 9 but yuo did it first, thx for the great job.
I have tested the 2 new releases (with Colinux 0.8) :
The F8 works perfectly :  it s fast (faster than F7 with Colinux 0.8) 
and stable. I have 'yumped' inside httpd + postfix + mysql +  tomcat and 
all is working percfectly except iptable... (i m working around for the 
moment).

I have much more troubles with F9 : just after boot, when i try to setup 
my kb with system-config-keyboard, the test interface is ugly. I can 
chose a new keyboards, but when i applied the command, only the default 
us-map keyboard file is loaded. It happens only in coLinux console mode. 
I have tryed with shh and with xterm in VNC and all works fine.
Moreother, the F9 distro is slow.. so slow to boot and to display 
schrooling text too

[coLinux-users] Fedora Images

[Bill C. R. <do...@gm...>]

I just added Fedora-8 and Fedora-9 images.   I could not figure out an
easy way to get Fedora-9's gdm to start twm, so for that image you'll
need to use "startx" until you install either GNOME or KDE.

I notice my image sizes are getting larger with each revision, so I am
thinking maybe it would be a good idea if I rebuild the release to be
absolute minimal and have a script the user can run to bootstrap to
additional items most people will need.   What do people here think?

In regards to the coLinux 0.7.3, I recently switched to a new computer,
and decided to use the coLinux installer to download the Fedora 7
image.   However, the installer proceeded to download the image twice,
and then when it was all done, I was unable to find the image anywhere
on my hard drive...   I finally just ended up copying the image from my
old computer.

Yes, you can
You have to download source and read a small txt document.
If I remember correcly you have to set some environment variable before 
configuring and compiling.
Good luck.
