> 1. what VM you are using?
VMWare. The virtual machine itself gotten with the Sage download is some version of Ubuntu, apparently Feisty Fawn? (Parenthetical note: Unfortunately, the Ubuntu webpage says: Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn Release Date April 19 2007 End of life date October 2008. This has caused some trouble for us, rather notably that one has to do a hack to allow an older, compatible version of Octave to be apt- gotten and used inside Sage. Our sysadmin suspects this is also at the root of problems we have had with IE (e.g. not just IE6, but IE7) and interacts since about the new year.) > 2. How much physical memory you give to the VM? virtual cpus? Under the Hardware tab ○ Memory should be set to 1024MB > 3. Do you add swap inside the VM? How much? None that I know of. > 4. What's the ulimit you use for the notebook? ulimit='-v 500000' > 5. Who are your users? Students mostly, probably no more than 5-10 at a time, but depending on the semester could get heavy at times. We crashed miserably trying 20 new accounts at once with only a half-gig of memory, haven't tried large-scale tests since - but it seems to hang a bit once more than 5 or so are on it at once, depending. Swap space might help this too, but I haven't asked for this to be tried yet. - kcrisman --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
