You're right, apt asked only for the removal of "xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse xserver-xorg-video-modesetting"
nChomsky 2017-02-01 14:47:16
Much, much better. :)
nChomsky 2017-02-01 14:48:15
Thank you somiaj!

tomcres: Hope I'm not bugging you. i'm still encountering X crashes on launching some video files. :/

Can i tell an rsync client to use a specific source IP when there is more than one on the primary interface?
somiaj 2017-02-01 15:21:34
mutante: the machine you are running rsync on has multiple interfaces? Woudlnt' this be similar to any other program in this case, by following the corret route?
mutante 2017-02-01 15:21:57
no, it has multiple IPs on one interface
mutante 2017-02-01 15:22:24
there is one v4 IP and 2 v6 IPs all on eth0
somiaj 2017-02-01 15:22:50
but rsync doesn't connect to interfaces, it connects to ips, so I'm not quite following
mutante 2017-02-01 15:22:52
if i remove the "wrong" of the 2 v6 IPs all my problems (with firewalling etc) are solved
mutante 2017-02-01 15:23:01
it picks a source IP to use
sypher 2017-02-01 15:23:06
So, what makes that IP wrong?
mutante 2017-02-01 15:23:07
which i can on the remote side
mutante 2017-02-01 15:23:22
i don't know, but puppet
sypher 2017-02-01 15:23:29
Ahh, the plot thickens.
mutante 2017-02-01 15:23:29
when puppet runs it comes back
sypher 2017-02-01 15:23:47
Do you actually have IPv6 connectivity to the internet from that system?
mutante 2017-02-01 15:23:51
yes
mutante 2017-02-01 15:24:07
it's one server talking to another server in the same DC
somiaj 2017-02-01 15:24:18
which is done via routes, rsycn isn't special here, all programs that requrest the internet need to determine what route to take, though I'm no expert, ##networking may also be of good help.
mutante 2017-02-01 15:25:19
right.. ok. that makes sense
somiaj 2017-02-01 15:28:03
mutante: maybe the output of route will help

Does enabling hyperthreading give more performance ? so i have 12 cores and enable HT, will having the 24 cores make things go twice as fast?
somiaj 2017-02-01 15:33:43
only some programs take advantage of parallell computing, many use a single core
somiaj 2017-02-01 15:34:13
but if lots and lots of programs (users) are running I belive it helps
Led_Zeppelin 2017-02-01 15:34:34
will i get more througput?
Led_Zeppelin 2017-02-01 15:34:43
can I run 2x as more tasks on it?

Led_Zeppelin 2017-02-01 15:35:33
talking more about server point of view
somiaj 2017-02-01 15:35:46
Led_Zeppelin: you won't be able to run more, but if lots of little tasks are running they can take advantage of hyperthreading
aaro 2017-02-01 15:40:43
Led_Zeppelin, it depends on the application, in the best case the performance improvement is about 30%
Led_Zeppelin 2017-02-01 15:41:33
so, lets say I run random tasks. on a 12 core box. The box is running 12 tasks. It takes it 10 minutes. If I run 24 tasks will it still take 10 mins?
TomTomTo1 2017-02-01 15:43:35
no, the performance benefit would be subtle.
