Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life This is my first time using high performance machine. Although the machine is only for student, and of course, it is not good as those pro machines, it is still a good experience for me.

ssh remote machin, returns:

os: 160 slots main queue (overbooked)
-pe dmp NN, distributed on nodes, 16 slots per node (4 cores)
-pe smp NN, shared memory, 1 single node for up to 16 threads (4 cores)

User Limits:
The login nodes are intended for short test runs only, max cputime is 30min

INTERACTIVE:
Use qsh to request a interactive job and recive a xterm.

New file server “bubo” introduced for all uppmax storage.
Your home directory is now in /bubo/home/h?/user.
Refer to this using “$HOME” in your programs.
To ease the transition we have defined symbolic links so that the old
directory names are usable for a short time.

2009-07-07   Compilers: PGI is updated to 9.0, default is kept as 8.0
If you want the latest version use “module load pgi/9.0″
Intel is updated to 11.1 (build 038), 11.0 (build 084) is kept as default
If you want the latest version use “module load intel/11.1″

2009-03-17      Infiniband removed from openmpi due to stability problems

2008-11-28      OS-kluster is reinstalled with SL 5.2
R is now a module to run R please load the module first
“module load R”
Sun Grid Engine updated to 6.2

I use bold font to indicate hardware.

BTW, my knowledge of Vim helps me a lot. I like Vim :)

globalmenuGlobal Menu是Mac OS系统的一个基本功能,用过Mac的肯定都知道。使用Gnome的Linux一样可以做到,这里是gnome2-globalmenu的项目主页,有兴趣的可以看一下,里面的wiki挺全,有安装方法介绍。这篇文章不是介绍如何安装global menu,而是解决卸载后出现的一个小问题。

在卸载global menu后,如果你从命令行启动程序,就会发现往往都会提示如下的错误

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module “globalmenu-gnome”: libglobalmenu-gnome.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

说明在启动程序时,依然去调用globalmenu-gnome模块,但是由于已经卸载,所以提示没有找到。

解决方法很简单,运行gconf-editor,然后找到app -> gnome_setting_daemon -> gtk-modules,在右方可以看到global menu还是选中状态,取消选中或者删除就可以了。这样子再次运行程序就不会出现错误了。

gconf-editorg

我的笔记本没有无线网卡,出国前特意买了一个无线网卡,以备不时之需。我买的无线网卡是TP-Link TL-WN821N,只有Windows的驱动,不支持Linux。今天搜索了一下,找到了解决方案。

其实方法十分简单:
1.安装ndiswrapper,尝试apt-cache search搜索一下,我9.04Ubuntu可以找到,Sweden的源。
接下来就可以找到System -> Administration -> Windows Wireless Drivers。
2.这时候需要无线网卡的驱动,从这里下载。
然后Install这个驱动。
3.安装wicd,我可以从源中直接安装,找不到的同学自己搜索一下官网吧。
安装以后重启一下,就可以发现wicd network manager已经代替了原来的Network Manager。

还是很简单的,这个方法我只测试了我自己的TP-Link TL-WN821N无线网卡,不知道其他TP-Link的可不可行。
最后提供两个网址,我也是从这里找到解决办法的,Link1Link2

GNOME Do Preview.png Gnome-Do, 一款快速启动软件,专为Gnome开发的,与Windows下很多软件相比,我最喜欢它的插件功能。通过激活相应插件,可以实现很多功能。

安装Gnome-Do很简单,在Ubuntu源中已经有了,当然,也可以自己去官方站点上下载。

装好以后先设置一下快捷键,我设置的<Super>+Space。每次按下快捷键就可以看见Gnome-Do的窗口了。
