=Using cgroups in Slackware with KVM/Libvirt=

Hello friends, I’ve been using KVM a lot of months until now and every new host server that I create I need to change the way of how Slackware seems to create cgroups, libvirt doesn’t function very good if you don’t create specific directories in ‘/sys/fs/cgroup’ tree. So, to do that for me I made this script below

<pre># cat /etc/rc.d/rc.cgroup

#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/rc.cgroup: cgroups init script
# Alexandre Mulatinho <alex@mulatinho.net>
# Unmount /sys/fs/cgroup
umount /sys/fs/cgroup

# Mount cgroup_root in /sys/fs/cgroup
mount -t tmpfs -o mode=755,rw cgroup_root /sys/fs/cgroup/

# Mount all the subsystems available in /sys/fs/cgroup as individual directory
for i in $(lssubsys -a);
do
mkdir -pv /sys/fs/cgroup/$i
mount -v -t cgroup -o $i $i /sys/fs/cgroup/$i
done

# chmod u+x /etc/rc.d/rc.cgroup</pre>

And now everytime my slackware system boot, my cgroups tree are build in right way that KVM and libvirt can use him to manipulate things like memory, cpu, io, disk, etc. Hope it helps someone else :-)

Hello Slakers!

I will talk about how to installing and use Slakware in a NB 205 from Toshiba. First of all i have to admit that i stayed really impressed with the design of NB205, he's fully portable and light, the screen with a 10.1" have a bad news: she only can do 1024x600 of size but not for us, slackers! ;) Even being netbook this machine has a good performance and excelent battery duration time! Generally this happens because of his ATOM N280 1.6GHz that use minus power and are designed for running in two units of execution even that is not a dual-processor. He has a beautiful keyboard design, a nice webcam of 1.3 megapixels and a good acceleration in multimedia applications. So before anything else, lets see some more informations about his technical specifications, down:

=Technical Details =

* Motherboard: Toshiba KAVAA - Chipset: Intel Callistoga-GSE i945GSE
* Processor: Intel Atom N280 1.6GHz
* Memory: DDR2-800/400/333/266 MHz - Comes to 1GB but you can upgrade to 2 GB.
* Video: Intel GMA 950 (1280x600)
* Hard Disk: 160 GB 5400 RPM SATA-II
* Webcam, Bluetooth, Ether/Wifi Network gigabit, Battery Life is 8 Hours!!!

=Netbook Slakware Configuration=
Here i post some of my tips to setup slakware with this hardware.

==Screen==
The netbook video driver can only hit a 1024x600 size of screen, but we can change this using the 'xrandr' command to hit 1280x750 virtual. For do that you need to change '~/.xinitrc' and before you call your window manager you make a call of these command:
<pre>xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x600 --scale 1.25x1.25</pre>

Here is my '''/etc/X11/xorg.conf''':
<pre>Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension

With those cards the netbook can give a improve in network performance and will grow like a little monster in your network, with a wifi module called 'ath9k' and network module called 'r8169' they can do great things :)
===Bluetooth===
To get things done you will need to download the 'omnibook' package and compile in your slackware version. Once you do it you can follow these commands to test your connection:
<pre># modprobe -v omnibook
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.29.6-smp/extra/omnibook.ko ectype=12 userset=1 wifi=1 bluetooth=1
# hciconfig
hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 00:22:58:FF:C2:DC ACL MTU: 310:10 SCO MTU: 64:8
UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN
RX bytes:692 acl:0 sco:0 events:24 errors:0
TX bytes:581 acl:0 sco:0 commands:24 errors:0

# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:21:FC:B1:AC:97 Rosangela</pre>
To be honest thats the best i could do with Bluetooth right now.

===Ethernet===
The easy way to setup your network is with DHCP. To make this you must change the file: '''/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf''' to:
<pre>IFNAME[0]="eth0"
USE_DHCP[0]="yes"</pre>
Or with IP fix:
<pre>IFNAME[0]="eth0"
USE_DHCP="no"
IPADDR[0]="192.168.0.10"
NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0"
GATEWAY="192.168.0.254"</pre>
Or you can set your ip manually in console with these commands:
<pre># ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.25
# route add default gw 192.168.0.254</pre>

===Wifi===
If you want to use WPA/PSK:
<pre>wpa_passphrase <ESSID> <Passphrase>
# wpa_passphrase house littled0g > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.home </pre>
If you see the file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.home'
<pre>network={
ssid="house"
#psk="littled0g"
psk=9dbaaf7031fd8cbc03674337ee9c724b65811b36546d2234676060b4144872b8

=My Opinion About the Slakware in this Netbook=
* You will not be unsatisfied.
* You need to buy at least one in your life. Only $490.
* Excelent to use like a second 'notebook' in your home and your work.

Hello Slakers!

I will talk about how to installing and use Slakware in a NB 205 from Toshiba. First of all i have to admit that i stayed really impressed with the design of NB205, he's fully portable and light, the screen with a 10.1" have a bad news: she only can do 1024x600 of size but not for us, slackers! ;) So before anything else, lets see some more informations about his technical specifications, down:

=Technical Details =

* Motherboard: Toshiba KAVAA - Chipset: Intel Callistoga-GSE i945GSE
* Processor: Intel Atom N280 1.6GHz
* Memory: DDR2-800/400/333/266 MHz - Comes to 1GB but you can upgrade to 2 GB.
* Video: Intel GMA 950 (1280x600)
* Hard Disk: 160 GB 5400 RPM SATA-II
* Webcam, Bluetooth, Ether/Wifi Network gigabit, Battery Life is 8 Hours!!!

Even being netbook this machine has a good performance and excelent battery duration time! Generally this happens because of his ATOM N280 1.6GHz that use minus power and are designed for running in two units of execution even that is not a dual-processor. He has a beautiful keyboard design, a nice webcam of 1.3 megapixels and a good acceleration in multimedia applications.

With those cards the netbook can give a improve in network performance and will grow like a little monster in your network, with a wifi module called 'ath9k' and network module called 'r8169' they can do great things :)

To get things done you will need to download the 'omnibook' package and compile in your slackware version. Once you do it you can follow these commands to test your connection:

With those cards the netbook can give a improve in network performance and will grow like a little monster in your network, with a wifi module called 'ath9k' and network module called 'r8169' they can do great things :)
===Bluetooth===
To get things done you will need to download the 'omnibook' package and compile in your slackware version. Once you do it you can follow these commands to test your connection:
<pre># modprobe -v omnibook
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.29.6-smp/extra/omnibook.ko ectype=12 userset=1 wifi=1 bluetooth=1
# hciconfig
hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 00:22:58:FF:C2:DC ACL MTU: 310:10 SCO MTU: 64:8
UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN
RX bytes:692 acl:0 sco:0 events:24 errors:0
TX bytes:581 acl:0 sco:0 commands:24 errors:0

# hcitool scan

===Ethernet===
===Wifi===
If you want to use WPA/PSK:
<pre>wpa_passphrase <ESSID> <Passphrase>
# wpa_passphrase house littled0g > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.home </pre>
If you see the file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.home'
<pre>network={
ssid="house"
#psk="littled0g"
psk=9dbaaf7031fd8cbc03674337ee9c724b65811b36546d2234676060b4144872b8

I have been using linux to about 12 years, and my first experience with Slakware was in 3.4 version, until then i use Slakware in my work, home and in all my machines :) Thanks to Slakware team!
