Oh, it's in a sizer.
02:19
< gnolam>
It's just that the GetBestSize() or GetEffectiveMinSize() or whatever it's using for positioning is inexplicably off.
02:20
< Derakon>
You can set that value manually, I'm pretty sure.

< Tarinaky>
Does anyone here use CentOS?
21:37
< Tarinaky>
I'm having difficulty using 'yum'.
21:37
< Tarinaky>
I'm trying to install a compiler so I can install a source package and it gives me...
21:37
< Tarinaky>
Running rpm_check_debug
21:37
< Tarinaky>
Running Transaction Test
21:37
< Tarinaky>
memory alloc (24 bytes) returned NULL.
21:38
< Tarinaky>
I have no idea how to proceed.
21:38
< McMartin>
That's not what yum is supposed to do, no
21:39
< Tarinaky>
That's not what the internet says.
21:40
< Tarinaky>
McMartin: I'm looking at a guide to installing g++ that explicitly mentions yum.
21:41
< Tarinaky>
I'm beginning to really fucking hate vpses :/
21:44
< McMartin>
Er
21:44
< McMartin>
What I mean is
21:44
< McMartin>
yum isn't supposed to say that it failed to allocate 24 bytes
21:44
< McMartin>
It's supposed to go and install the rpms it deduced were necessary
21:45
< Tarinaky>
Yes...
21:45
< Tarinaky>
Any idea how to proceed from here?
21:46 * Tamber offers a sledgehammer...
21:46
< Tarinaky>
Yes.
21:46
< Tarinaky>
But after I wipe it again...
21:46
< Tarinaky>
I'm not getting anywhere with this :/
21:46
< TheWatcher>
Check your ulimit?
21:47
< TheWatcher>
try 'ulimit -m unlimited && ulimit -v unlimited && yum ....'
21:47
< ToxicFrog>
Tarinaky: check that you haven't somehow run completely out of RAM, or have some sort of user quota that sharply restricts memory usage.
21:48
< Tarinaky>
That's possible I only have 192M.
21:48
< TheWatcher>
Ow
21:49
< Tarinaky>
Okay. I have a fresh install.
21:51
< McMartin>
192M should be enough to run yum, as long as you don't have a gigantic windowing system going too
21:51
< McMartin>
I'm not totally convinced it will be enough to run g++ though -_-
21:51
< Tarinaky>
Right. Just tried yum upgrade... and it runs out of memory.
21:52
< Tarinaky>
McMartin: I can't find an rpm of the program I want.
21:52
< Tarinaky>
Or rather, I can't find an rpm that I can figure out how to install.
21:53
< McMartin>
OK, so, if CentOS is like other yum-based systems, yum is tied to some central repository.
21:53
< McMartin>
g++ will be in that repository.
21:55
< Tarinaky>
Yes. But I'm getting a memory problem when I try to install anything.
21:56
< Tarinaky>
top is about as laconic as you can expect, I killed sendmail and apache.
21:56
< Tarinaky>
No X.
21:57
< ToxicFrog>
run top and then press M (shift-m) to sort by memory usage?
21:58
< ToxicFrog>
Also, what does top report for memory use?
21:58
< Tarinaky>
I dunno how to read top.
21:58
< Tarinaky>
The web control panel is telling me 13.36M though.
22:00
< ToxicFrog>
Mem: 2014604k total, 1550992k used, 463612k free, 9752k buffers
22:00
< ToxicFrog>
Swap: 4192960k total, 1441900k used, 2751060k free, 401632k cached
22:00
< ToxicFrog>
"total" is total amount installed. "used" is the amount currently in use, "free" is the amount not being used for anything.
22:00
< Tarinaky>
Yeah, that;s not what I'm seeing.
22:01
< ToxicFrog>
"buffers" and "cache" are the amount of memory (not swap) used for kernel buffers and the block cache respectively.
22:01
< Tarinaky>
http://pastebin.com/f3UpdpNc
22:01
< ToxicFrog>
The amount of memory available for use by programs is free + cache.
22:01
< ToxicFrog>
wut
22:01
< ToxicFrog>
top --version

< ToxicFrog>
Pastebin the contents of /proc/meminfo?
22:03
< TheWatcher>
ToxicFrog: press 'm' while top is running
22:03
< TheWatcher>
Tarinaky i mean
22:03
< ToxicFrog>
Oh. Or do that.
22:03
< TheWatcher>
(damned tabcomplete)
22:03
< Tarinaky>
Mem: 196608k total, 12956k used, 183652k free, 0k buffers
22:03
< Tarinaky>
Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 0k cached
22:05
< TheWatcher>
... I don't think I've ever seen a system with 0 cache or buffers before!
22:05
< Tarinaky>
It's a virtual system.
22:05
< Tarinaky>
That said. Facepalm.
22:05
< Tarinaky>
I can make a pagefile.
22:05
< ToxicFrog>
That should definitely be enough to run yum. Did you try the ulimit thing?
22:06
< Tarinaky>
Yeah. Nothing happened.
22:06
< ToxicFrog>
(also, if you run yum in one shell and watch memory usage in top in another, do you actually run out of memory, or is it getting cut off before that?)
22:06
< Tarinaky>
I dunno. It's all over fairly instantly.
22:07
< Vornicus>
Fairly Instantly suggests that it's getting failed mallocs but frankly if you're getting random-ass failed mallocs like that then there's something more seriously wrong!
22:09
< Tarinaky>
Apparently I can't make a swapfile.
22:09
< Tarinaky>
Vornicus: I have no idea, I've never used a vps before.
22:10
< ToxicFrog>
What happens when you try?
22:11
< Tarinaky>
Operation not permitted.
22:11
< ToxicFrog>
As root?
22:11
< Tarinaky>
Yeah.
22:11
< ToxicFrog>
Guess they
22:11
< ToxicFrog>
've disabled swap for the VPS then.
22:12
< Tarinaky>
As you say though... shouldn't really matter.
22:12
< Tarinaky>
It's unmanaged so I don't have any support :/
22:45
< Tarinaky>
I guess this is what I deserve for going with the cheapest hosting I could find >.>
