I have a whitebox dual CPU home server running ESXi 5.5.
I have loaded the server up with a bunch of VM's for learning Microsoft SCCM. I noticed that as soon as one of the guests gets under load, the host will crash with the attached photo (apologies for the quality). Could this be due to a dying CPU? I have noticed that one of the CPU's runs quite a bit hotter than the other.

Usually with CPU overheating the machine would shut down first, however if the temperature inside the case is too hot, something else might be getting affected (e..g memory or video display circuitry).
If you want to diagnose overheating, I can suggest placing a vacuum cleaner hose over the air vent, this will draw much more air than your regular fans. If the system stays up under load with the vacuum cleaner attached, it will be an overheating problem.

Not a programming issue, so I'll close this off and note the resolution I found incase anyone else has the same issue.
Looks like this was a known issue under ESXi 5.X that has to do with the E1000 and E1000e virtual network adapter as per the lines:

Simply remove any adapters using E1000/e and replace with VMXNET3.

for my job, we are searching for an application which allows us to do export display. The specifications are :
clients use Windows/Linux System
server is a Linux Red-Hat 6 cluster
there are OpenGL based applications on server side. they must be running fast on client, at least as much as possible
the GPU are on server side. Users open a visualization session on cluster which allocates specific nodes with GPU.
For the moment, we use TurboVNC ( with a vnc client called "vncviewer" and securised by ssh tunnel ) and virtualGL on server for launching OpenGL applications (type paraview) with "vglrun name_application" command.
Could someone give me advices for alternative solutions ?
I saw XDCMP solution but it is not securised.
We can't use ssh X forwarding because it is tool slow.
By the way, what is the proportion for export display, between the ressources allocating by the client and ressources allocated by the server ?
TurboVNC seems to allocate more resources on server : does it mean that client does not manage graphics processing and only receives raw data from the server, which are displaying on client side ?
Then, this would not be the case when I do a "ssh -X" ? (this should be the client which deals locally with OpenGL processing)
How long are you willing to wait to put this into production?
Right now the Linux graphics stack is built around Xorg. And Xorg has the inconvenient drawback, that you can't run purely off-screen X servers that make use of the GPU. If you can live with only one user making use of the GPU and the GPU holding the VT then you might want to look into Xpra which you start with a X server configuration that uses the GPU instead of the dummy driver.
If you're willing to wait another two years (hopefully) all drivers will fully support KMS and the DRM kernel interfaces; as much as I dislike certain aspects of Wayland, it's also a huge game changer that puts a lot of peer pressure on NVidia to finally get around and use the "standard" APIs. Already now you can use libgbm to create purely off-screen OpenGL render contexts with GPUs that support it and no display server running; i.e. GPUs with open source drivers in the Mesa3D tree (Intel and AMD, however for now just OpenGL-3 and no OpenCL). Give it another 2 years and the APIs and tools will have stabilized that you can use this conveniently in production.

I just received my new Thinkpad E545 and would love to set up a new virtual machine for development. After creating the appliance and adding the #! iso for installation, I tried to start up the machine and I get the following error:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine CrunchBang.
AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS (or by the host OS). (VERR_SVM_DISABLED).
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}
I did some searching and found this thread (https://askubuntu.com/questions/118006/amd-v-is-not-enable-in-virtualbox-in-amd-apu) and followed the advice about enabling virtualization in my bios, but I still get the same results from virtualbox, even after re-installing. After enabling virtualization in the bios, the acceleration tab in vbox is still not available (greyed-out and un-clickable).

Sorry, that I am so late, but at least someone else will be able to use my advice.
In the latest version of BIOS for this model (have the same one) they mixed up the setting: ENABLING amd-v DISABLES it.
Or this could be some bug of VirtualBox as stated above, however this worked for me.
I've just discovered that having hyper-V installed seems to prevent certain virtualisation features (such as 64 bit) being available to virtualbox. Switching hyper-V off (via add/remove windows features) fixed this for me.
Judging by a sudden spike in forum posts and Stack Overflow questions about this precise error code (VERR_SVM_DISABLED) starting right about when 4.3 came out, I'm willing to bet that this is a legitimate bug in 4.3.
I've triple-checked my BIOS settings and AMD-V is enabled...but I'm still seeing this error in 4.3.10. I never had this problem on 4.2.18.
And this bug report might be good additional reading: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12049
You can simply change the Virtal machine from 64-bit to 32-bit

I got stuck on my Glass unit with Launchy crashing (sideloaded the wrong version -_-) in XE11 every time I try to launch an application, including the built-in settings. The problem is for some reason I don't have ADB access anymore and because of Launchy, now can't even reenable Debug mode.
So I am now trying to boot into fastboot mode using the hardware method reference here: Having issues seeing GLASS in Fastboot
But when I keep the camera button pressed and press the power button briefly, the LED is solid for a few seconds and then goes on to blink at very low frequency. No matter how long I seem to keep the camera button pressed, the LED never goes solid.
I've also tried to plug in the unit to my computer and look for it show up in the System Information (the Apple Device Manager equivalent).
Does anyone know if the fastboot hardware method changed in XE11? Or what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Charles.
The slow blink you're seeing is Glass in fastboot. Once in fastboot you can verify that it's connected by doing a device list:
$ fastboot devices
If you see output, you'll be able to run other fastboot commands.

I'm looking to create a mobile app on IOS devices before I started I just needed to check up on one thing. How can I detect other IOS mobile devices within local rage e.g same room, same train, etc..
I want to be able to do it while the phone is locked, so bluetooth wouldn't be a great example as most people have it turned off.
Thanks!
The application has to send its location to the server.
Then the server knows where every devices that shared its location are.
Then your application can ask "who is around?" to your server... and your server calculates (let's suppose within a radius of 2 miles) who is around... and sends back to you.
It doesn't have anything to do with bluetooth. It's done via regular internet.
For other users of your app who want to be discovered you could use Bluetooth LE and the new iBeacon support added in iOS 7. Each user would have to launch your app and give it permission to start "advertising" their presence. However, the range of Bluetooth LE is like 10-20 meters (I forget the exact figure) and that will go down in "RF hostile" environments.
If everybody's connected to the same WiFi network you could use Bonjour.
Another option, as suggested by Wagner, above, is to have the devices send their locations to a central server.

I need something a little more feature rich than Sysinternals TCPView (which I regularly use) ... but it also must be freeware. :)
Well, the question is a bit old and I realize that probably you already found the software you were looking for... just in case, an interesting connection monitor utility is CurrPorts, by Nir Sofer.
Freely adapted from the program's home page:
displays the list of all currently opened TCP/IP and UDP ports on your local computer;
for each port in the list, information about the process that opened the port is also displayed, including the process name, full path of the process, version information of the process (product name, file description, and so on), the time that the process was created, and the user that created it;
allows you to close unwanted TCP connections, and kill the process that opened the ports;
allows custom filters for inclusion/exclusion of connections.
Maybe a full blown traffic sniffer like Wireshark will complement your tool set?
Amongst wiresharks features are:
packet analysis
traffic statistics
capture
coloring
data export
I recommend TCPView for Windows v2.53.
image http://i.technet.microsoft.com/bb897437.TcpView(en-us,MSDN.10).gif
TCPView is a Windows program that will show you detailed listings of all TCP and UDP endpoints on your system, including the local and remote addresses and state of TCP connections. On Windows Server 2008, Vista, NT, 2000 and XP TCPView also reports the name of the process that owns the endpoint. TCPView provides a more informative and conveniently presented subset of the Netstat program that ships with Windows. The TCPView download includes Tcpvcon, a command-line version with the same functionality.
Not sure what features you are looking for so this is my suggestion.
Without having used it, I have seen TCPStat advertised a few times.
It looks like it was a discontinued project somewhere around 2003 and it's an awful blue color.
There's the MS Network Monitor.
Process Hacker shows also send/receive bytes, speed, country flag etc.
