Update Log

Removed tr_walkway_rc - it clogs up an entire core even when empty.

 

Fixed avatars not being downloaded properly for the Item Drops page, or the index page top 5 blocks (although they were cached on the latter).

 

Fixed multibyte characters not being stored or displayed properly on the item drops page.

 

The DarkiSock IRC bot is now up and running again.

 

After fiddling with setmaster in the configs, our TF2 servers now show up properly in the internet list at last D:

 

Fixed PropHunt sig image script

 

Tweaked MySQL a bit for less CPU and RAM usage, and more speed

 

Fixed cron jobs (such as sprays) not working properly, I think, and added the hlstatsx daily awards script which I somehow forgot about.

 

We have just successfully booted into our new realtime patched linux kernel

Code:

[root@gamingmasters ~]# uname -a
Linux gamingmasters.org 2.6.33.4-rt20 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Mon May 17 21:59:54 BST 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

inb4 solid 500 fps TF2 servers


Sadly we reset our uptime before it hit 1 month :<


Edit: fragaholics.de | server FPS meter - Fucking win (compared to our previous quality index - 0.0 unplayable)

 

Far faster, more stable, easier to use - just awesome

Here's one from not too long ago:

fragaholics.de | server FPS meter

 

Added some stats to the footer :>

For anyone unfamiliar with load averages, anything over 4 on the first number is sustained 100% CPU usage across all 4 cores for a minute.

 

Yes, I broke it >.>

Is this at the top of /var/log/boot.log bad: ?

Code:

Gmodprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.33.4-rt20/modules.dep: No such file or directory

Even though it exists and I've run depmod -a :S

 

Did a make clean and compiled+installed the kernel again from scratch and the error is gone

Hopefully that should be the end of the instability


The output of lsmod is encouragingly longer:

Code:

Assuming that error meant we were running without kernel modules, we're fucking lucky the ext4 filesystem drivers were compiled in, along with everything needed for SSH to work.

Otherwise we would have a very dead dedi.
