Q.How do I add more swap space without formatting/deleting files on Ubuntu machine?

Q. How do I add more swap space without formatting/deleting files on Ubuntu machine? A: Swap space is an area on disk that temporarily holds a process memory image. When physical memory demand is sufficiently low, process memory images are brought back into physical memory from the swap area on disk. Having sufficient swap space enables the system to keep some physical memory free at all times. Swap space can be a dedicated swap partition (recommended), a swap file, or a combination of swap partitions and swap files. The size of your swap space should be equal to twice of your machine's memory. First to determine the amount of available swap space, use the " swapon " command: root@techgyaan:~#swapon -s Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/cciss/c0d0p5 partition 2907724 0 -1 swapon - enable/disable devices and files for paging and swapping root@techgyaan:~#free -m total used...

Zune Phone Finally, Okay Maybe

Zune Phone Finally, Okay Maybe I know a lot of you out there are just waiting for the Zune phone - Microsoft’s answer to the current king of multitouch telephonic devices. Until they actually confirm, check out the Zune Contact concept by Adam Huffman. He’s revamped the interface, made the body madly thin, slapped on a 5 MP camera and went all touchscreeny. Sure it’s just pie-in-the-sky now but who knows, something similar may come from Redmond Washington. Oh BTW, that big white button at the bottom is really a soft cushy thumb rest. . . yeah.

Stephen Fry wishes GNU a Happy 25th Birthday

The GNU operating system is a complete free software system, upward-compatible with Unix. GNU stands for “GNU's Not Unix”. Richard Stallman made the Initial Announcement of the GNU Project in September 1983. A longer version called the GNU Manifesto was published in September 1985. It has been translated into several other languages. The name “GNU” was chosen because it met a few requirements; first, it was a recursive acronym for “GNU's Not Unix”, second, because it was a real word, and third, it was fun to say (or Sing) source via GNU Related : Watch the Original video at GNU Feedbacks: We appreciate feedbacks and suggestions about our website info@techgyaan.org

Configure Hosts for Network Client in Solaris

Q. How to Configure Hosts for Network Client Mode (It will get info from DHCP server) Answer: Search the /etc directory for the nodename file. If such a file exists, delete it. Eliminating /etc/nodename causes the system to use the hostconfig program to obtain the host name, domain name, and router addresses from the network configuration server. See “Network Configuration Procedures” on page 101. Create the /etc/hostname.interface file, if it does not exist. Ensure that the file is empty. An empty /etc/hostname.interface file causes the system to acquire the IP address from the network configuration server. Ensure that the /etc/inet/hosts file contains only the host name and IP address of the loopback network interface. # cat /etc/inet/hosts # Internet host table # 127.0.0.1 localhost The IPv4 loopback interface has the IP address 127.0.0.1. For more information, see “Loopback Address” on page 186. The file should not contain the IP address and host name for the local host (primar...
