How to optimize Linux Mint performance

Question

I want to load a file to PySpark local. But I can't and this error appears. Do you know, what I do?

error spark

Solution

Go through and disable any services you don't need. I suggest checking out the Linux Mint forums for help on that. I don't know your level of Linux expertise.

For example, if you don't have any bluetooth devices, disable anything bluetooth.

I'd say install xubuntu. If it's old and it's a notebook, I guess its specs are far from great. Optimising OS is much harder than using dedicated one.

I'm not the main user of this laptop. It's owner was a Windows user, so it's quite easy for him to use Cinnamon DE. That's why it's not the best choice to use another DE.

that seems to be environment issue, python and pyspark are incompatible. Check the link stackoverflow.com/questions/41840296/…

my python version is 3.7.6 and pyspark is '2.4.5' which is compatible.

Thanks , you mean for example this: con = sc.textFile("file:///e:/friendship-data.txt")? I did, but that error apears yet!

I just tried in my mac machine and it worked.. not sure what going wrong in your windows box...... 20/04/11 14:25:30 WARN SparkContext: Killing executors is not supported by current scheduler. >>> sc.textFile("file:////Users/test/dc2.txt") file:////Users/hireshroy/dc2.txt MapPartitionsRDD[1] at textFile at NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:0
