It seems that Compiz in Jaunty has a memory leak and fills up all my
system memory (2 GB RAM + 3 GB swap) in under five days. What is more
surprising to me (and the reason I didn't realize I was running out of
memory), was that the kernel did not free the 1 GB of memory used by the
page cache. Why?
After I killed Compiz (to free up 1.6 gigs of VM) and Firefox (to free
up another .6 gigs), the system became responsive again, but the swap
usage stayed at 99.9%. (I understand that once swap is allocated to an
app, it stays allocated until the app exits, even if the data is paged
into RAM.)
I tried to force all the apps back into memory (better get it all out of
the way at once instead of suffer swapin delays when you need to switch
between apps), but swapoff -a failed:
swapoff: /dev/sda5: Cannot allocate memory
I'm heading over to Launchpad to look for Compiz memory leak bugs.

I left my desktop running for a couple of days, and swap usage has
slowly been growing - just before I rebooted just now it was at 2.1GB,
and the whole GUI has slowed down. After reboot, my swap was not used,
and only about 400Mb of main memory.
How can I find what is using swap, to get a clue as to what it is.
I like htop. Load, F6, Mem.

If he needs the 64 bit support (large data sets as I mentionned before).
I'm not sure on your definition of 'modern', but I'd posit that IA64
(Itanium) is a modern Intel 64-bit architecture, and it's completely
different to AMD64/x86_64/EM64T.
Without more information from the OP, it's difficult to tell whether I'm
just being needlessly pedantic or saving him from trying to install an
amd64 build onto an itanium chip.
I would try the 64 bit build.
If he is just considering 64 bit build because he has a 64 bit
machine... I would pass and use the 32 bit build.
It's as simple as that. Don't use 64 bit build unless you really have a
requirement for supporting 64 bit data sets.

However as a general rule, anything that you can print, you can also
print to pdf in Linux. Ubuntu is not exception to the rule.
You might want to install the cups-pdf package, should you not have it
installed.
also see here:

Also it is somewhat outdated, I think it still applies

I'm using the intel video driver with UXA. The Compiz problem might be
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/328232
Is the memory used by the intel driver kernel memory manager (GEM)
attributed to the page cache perhaps?
$ cat /proc/dri/0/gem_objects
22615 objects
1063493632 object bytes
4 pinned
4395008 pin bytes
230854656 gtt bytes
260575232 gtt total
That's 1 GB of objects, which seems to match the lower limit of my page
cache size pretty well. (Now that I've killed Compiz, my page cache
grew up to 1.3 GB).

I will shortly have the answer to my question on moving files/data to
the partition. Like Thorny has said to me and so many others its
merely a question of using clarity and specifics.
I doubt with just the typed word I could even do it now without
attachments. I sent Thorny a post not asking help just because I could
finally make my case with attachments. Like always I appreciate your
help.
As for the error 15 thing for me at least its merely a question of
mounting and unmounting the USB 160GB correctly. Grub and MBR are on
my sda1 and if I am not mistaken in the first 512 bytes of that
partition.
Again thanks and I will let Thorny comment if he cares to as his typed
word has more clarity then mine. He can talk Linux and I have not
gotten there yet.

I was able to do the 1st command sudo grub and will show response, but
you lost me on the find when you get to grub prompt.
What you showed wasn't sudo grub or anything even close.
If you open a terminal and enter sudo grub, your display should change to
the grub prompt:
grub>
When you have that on the screen, enter, find /boot/grub/menu.lst
You would have received an output similar to:
grub> find /boot/grub/menu.lst
(hd2,0)
And then it would have returned the grub prompt:
grub>
You would have had to enter, quit, to return to your system prompt.
But, no matter, skip that for now. I just wanted to figure out which of
your two drives has the /boot, it won't affect the other issue that you
mention. Does your system boot okay if the removable drive isn't

About the titled thing I merely ment if I move a file into data that is
saved as HACCP Compliance, then I need to be able to go to that
partition identify it and perhaps edit it or what ever and return it to
data. Presently using send to 160GB is eating up storage as evidenced by
my right clicking on icon+properties I see something added, but WHAT.
Yep I am either not moving file correctly or I am going to wrong
location to view present status of partition. So please advise on this.
I'm sorry Allen, I'm still not clear what you mean.
Your terminology "move a file into data" makes sense in English, I just
don't know what you mean by it in the current instance. What is this
"data" you mention, is it some directory (folder) and by "move" do you
mean you moved it there from somewhere else or just that you saved it
there. Or is "data" just the way you refer to your removable drive and
not a folder at all? When you say "saved as HACCP Compliance" does that
mean that's the file name of the file? If that is the file name, are you
saying that you don't see that filename in the location that you saved
it? Remember Allen, we can't see what you are looking at on your screen.
It also isn't clear what you mean by "...going to wrong location to view
present status of partition". What "status" of the partition are you
trying to see? You don't "go to a partition", your partitions, when
mounted, become part of your filesystem, in order to see a file that you
have saved, you go to the location in your filesystem where the
partition it is on is mounted.

showing the link to the server. Right click on that link. There
will be an option to unmount. Click on "unmount", the link will
close and the option in the "Places" menu will disappear.
Both disconnected the sftp link but neither removed the listing in
Places. I know there is a language problem. Looking at the Ubuntu in the
picture, it looks different than mine and all the words are in a language
not known to me.
That language is called Dutch. :-)
