Create a Linux bootable USB drive

THE LINUX BLOG Here is how you can create a Linux bootable USB drive...

Step 1: Download Win32 disk imager and install it on you your windows pc.

Step 2:  Download iso file of any linux distribution from its official website.

Step 3: Now , open WIN32 disk imager and select the USB disk which ypu want to make bootable.

Step 4: Now hit copy button shown below.Its done!!!!

Step 5: Now turn off your system and press F12 to boot from USB drive .

What is schedutil in Linux Kernel?

The schedutil is a fairly new cpu frequency governor found in Linux Kernel . This CPU governor controls how the CPU raises and lowers its frequency according to the demand. Shadeutil was introduced in linux kernel version 4.7 as an alternative of ondemand and performance. This is special because it makes the use of cpu scheduler utilization data . Load estimation is achieved through the scheduler's Per-Entity Load Tracking (PELT) mechanism, which also provides information about the recent load. The schedutil cpu frequency governor aims at better integration with the Linux kernel scheduler. This governor currently does load based Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS).only for tasks managed by Completely Fair Scheduler(CFS(*CFS is a default scheduler. It handles CPU resource allocation for executing processes, and aims to maximize overall CPU utilization while also maximizing interactive performance. )). RT(Reaction Time) and DL (Deadline task) scheduler tasks are...

[Solved]High CPU usage by systemd-journald process

The systemd-journald is service in Linux OS that collects and stores the logging data. On some Linux distributions it is often found that systemd-journald service is consuming more than 90% or some times nearly 100% of CPU resources. So here's a fix for this problem... Open your terminal and type following command.(You can use text editor of your choice.) sudo vi /etc/default/grub Find a the line that begins with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" " There will be some parameters inside double quotation mark.
