Please use KLive

As of recently, my archCK kernel shows up as a gentoo kernel. Looking under "Gentoo", there are other systems running "archCK" kernels besides mine... though some are still listed under archck (probably non-gentooers). Anyone know why this is?

Argh - I went to install this, but not only is it masked, it wants to install three other dependancies - one of which is also masked! As I perform an

Open the ebuild in your favourite editor, change enewuser to newuser, save it, run '# ebuild klive-0.16.ebuild digest', re-emerge, and possibly submit bug report.

why is it masked off?

If it's stable and ready for prime time, shouldn't it be unmasked? javascript:emoticon(' :wink:

')

Seriously though, I do try to keep most of my boxen at the stable level.

What kind of information do the gentoo kernel developers currently see in the klive data that may affect decisions?

an excellent idea

emerged and running.

btw. not a great solution for servers -- it wanted to pull to many packages on my server box...

Hi!
Klive seems to mess up NFS on 2.6.18 systems. At least it started acting up after I upgraded.
After some hairtearing, I stumbled upon some weird stuff when I made a netstat, someone
did nfs over udp to an internet host!? I thought I was owned, but then I thought I'd check
Klive - and after shutting it down, nfs would start up again. So, if anyone gets:

Shouldn't we do something like that (and more) on our own in a more reliable way at the client-side (in other words: actually working!)?

A simple data collector and sender script put into /etc/cron.daily should be totally sufficient.... anyone interested? I would personally be interested because I need data on hardware stability and a correlation between uptime, detected crashes via /var/log/messages and lspci output could possibly be of help there.

Would you install such a simple script?

I could also add a script to track app usage such that we will get a popularity list :-)

Ok. What data should it collect and send to the server? My recommendations are:

cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /proc/meminfo
uptime
df (to get disk space evolution numbers?)
emerge --info
zcat /proc/config.gz
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
lspci
lsusb
( cd /var/db/pkg ; ls -d */* )
check for lockups/crashes by parsing /var/log/messages for missing shutdowns.

Anything else? Anything problematic with that list?

App usage would of course not include arguments to the apps... so bittorrent users would be on the safe side. I would also make that optional as I am generally also concerned with privacy. A pretty easy thing to protect privacy would be to look at the access times for files in /usr/bin etc. That, of course, would only give a rough hint at the app's popularity, but one could add sanity checks so that intrusion detection systems don't interfere etc.

The interpretation of all that data is done server-side (except where it really is not practical). That allows to gather data first, and then refine the evaluation techniques.

First RC is available at:

Please look at the script before installing: the gathered information will be published at http://stier.dynu.com/~statscollector/data/.

I would like to add klive on all my Gentoo boxes (4 in total) before I do so I would like to know;

1 What data gets collected
2 How the Gentoo Linux / kernel project can benefit from this.

I have read the previous posts and browsed the klive website but couldn't find the answer. Thanks in advance!

I have found some info in the wiki. Is this list correct? What does session_id mean :roll:

? And how do I set the optional settings?

By installing klive, do I really help the gentoo-sources maintaining staff?

I'm in. Maybe it would be nice to have a thread with tools like this which can help out the community without too much interaction needed.
