I'm running CentOS 5.4 on an Atom-based motherboard with a quiet, low-power PSU. As the only fan left is a 40mm fan to cool the Intel 945GC chip, I'd like to run a utility to monitor the 945GC and HD temperatures. Ideally, it should be able to run the 945GC fan faster when it's needed.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering: Is there a way to upgrade to a new Ubuntu version without completely reinstalling the system and to use the recommended apps and settings of the new version?
Reason I ask is that almost every time I upgraded to a new version by using the update-manager and than later installed that new Ubuntu version on another computer from scratch, I noticed that there are some differences. For example let's say the new version promoted a new UI design or some default apps have been replaced. These changes have not been applied to the upgraded version.
what is the recommended install procedure for the pgadmin3 for Centos 5.5> Its not present in default repos and RPMforge version cause dep issues.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a 2 monitor configuration, with the second monitor uses exclusively for mythtv. When I'm not actually watching tv or a muvie or watching visualizations with music playing, I actually use the machine for more productive uses. As the result the second monitor is typically not turned on, might have something to do the the fact it's a crt design, consumes a fair bit of power and does a good job keeping the media room overly warm.
The question is, does Fedora 11 or newer have a means to prevent applications from opening on the second monitor? I've checked the obvious places and nothing jumps out .
btw: According to the nvidia x server settings control panel the second monitor is set up as in twinview mode. This mode was chosen to allow the gpu to do most of the video decoding tasks using vdupau or something as I recall.
Every time I open an app or window in Kubuntu 10.10, they open up on the secondary monitor. I would like them to open up on the main screen because I don't always want to use my second screen. Is there a setting I'm missing?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have openSUSE 11.2 KDE with NVIDIA drivers. I have a TV on the left and a monitor on the right. In the Nvidia drivers this has also been setup as stated. The TV is on position 0:0 and the monitor is in position 1920:0. The monitor has been ticked in the drivers as the primary screen.
My problem is that all application open on the secondary screen and not the primary screen (monitor) as I expect. How to the OS/drivers that will ensure that application always open on the monitor situated on the right are welcome.
I use 2 monitors under Ubuntu 9.10, but I have them set up in a unique way. The primary (CRT) faces me on my desk, but the other (widescreen LCD) is turned away from me, because I use it only to watch movies from my couch. My video card is an Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+, using the proprietary Nvidia driver package, with Xinerama turned on, so the desktop extends across both displays. Given that setup, is there any way to control which display applications open upon? Several apps have started opening on one display or the other, seemingly at random. Further, some apps start on the primary display, but open their subwindows on the secondary display. It's very annoying, because I can't see the second screen, so I can't drag the windows back to the primary desktop.
I would also like to have VLC Media Player (or any other app) always open on the secondary screen, on purpose. I almost never watch movies sitting at my desk, but rather from the couch. I placed a VLC launcher icon on the secondary screen, but when started it opens on the primary display. (If you're wondering how I can click on anything from my couch, I have a wireless mouse there in addition to the wired mouse at my desk. It's my "remote" since I don't have a TV. Xorg will quite happily support 2 or more mice simultaneously, I discovered.)
pondering about cooling solutions and a little daydream of over-clocking, I thought about what happens to mineral oil at low temperatures. Temperatures the same as liquid nitrogen. I had an idea to have a column of liquid nitrogen sitting on the CPU, nothing new. But then to drive out moisture and dissipate heat better, immersing the rest of the mother board in mineral oil. The only problem is is that I am unsure of what happen to the oil at such low temperatures; I would believe that is get thick or forms a jelly. Thus two questions are posed here:

View 6 Replies View Related- 160gb is where i install CentOS (pretty much the hard drive for operation system) - Lets call this drive A
- Two 1TB drives run in RAID 1, using software RAID (this is where i will store personal data, pictures, movies, music, etc...) - Lets call this RAID 1 setup drive B
I am planning to run a virtual Win Server 2008 using Xen and have that be my domain controller. I will use samba to share drive B and have the network drive map when user login to the domain.
- If for some reasons i have to reinstall CentOS, this pretty much mean drive A will be formatted and reinstalled. Knowing my self i probably will goof up some config in CentOS and will need to reinstall the OS to fix it. Since drive B will be the centralize location for my home network, i dont want to lose the data. Will i be able to re-setup the RAID setup of drive B and still have all the data stored on it intact after a reinstall?
- Is the separation of OS drive and data drive recommended?
- Are there any better way to accomplish my setup? I am pretty much just looking to make a linux file server and windows on client's end.
This morning gkrellm updated from 2.3.4-1 to 2.3.5-2 and now the CPU temperatures aren't displayed. I've rerun sensors-detect and restarted module-init-tools, but the temperatures still don't display. If I run sensors from a terminal, the CPU core temperatures are displayed correctly. Has anyone else seen this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter turning off the overclocking (When I actually turned it off, I realized it didn't really make a noticeable difference) of my CPU and lowering the fans of my PC, I would like to stress test the GPU/CPU, and obviously also check the temps while doing so. The fans on my PC were previously so loud you couldn't even have a conversation on the phone while in the same room as the computer, and I just now realized how much I can actually lower them... But I don't want to lower them too much, obviously.
So, anyway, because of these reasons I would like to stress test my CPU/GPU while monitoring the temperatures. I'd need software for doing so, Linux or Windows doesn't really matter, I have both. Also, I need to know what minimum/maximum temperatures that are okay.
I'm using a PC (desktop) and I replaced the motherboard two days ago; (I had an intel and replaced it with an asrock G31M-S). All other components (processor, case, video card, memory modules and wireless card) are all the same I used before. Now, the problem is I'm having high temperatures; if I go to the BIOS, it shows about 43�C - 47�C (about 103 �F), and 32�C for the motherboard (91 �F). On windows I use a program which came with the motherboard, named OCtuner, and it shows pretty much the same temps, and sometimes hit 50 �C, just by browsing the net (although this program is used to overclock, I'm not overclocking yet). On linux I use lm-sensors and the computer temp gnome applet; both show 58 �C - 61 �C just by browsing the net and listening music (?!); it has reached 70 �C even!. Also, on windows I've had a couple of sudden reboots when browsing the net, but I'm not sure if it's the motherboard who's rebooting the system to avoid overheating, or if it's windows (or the OCtuner app).
Now I have some questions: 1) is it possible that debian shows more than 10 �C in comparison to the BIOS and windows, or is it just that debian (or linux in general) causes the cpu to heat more? 2) in case the cpu is actually overheating (as it seems to be), how could I solve this? Should I reinstall the cpu (taking it out, cleaning, reapplying thermal paste and installing it again, etc)?
I would like to ask you if you know a program that can show the current cpu's and gpu's temperatures.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a USB sound card that works sometimes with Firefox and with the VLC media player, but in the middle of a Gnome session it drops out and the sound starts coming from the internal card. In the Gnome Sound Preferences USB Audio is still selected and the test sounds still come loud and clear from the USB card, but the applications are ignoring this and have switched to the internal card.
Some system components are:
Centos 5.3 x86_64
Toshiba laptop AMD Turion
Roland UA4-fx audio interface sound card
Gnome 2.16.0
The Gnome Device Manager shows the UA-4fx card and under it "USB Audio ALSA playback" and "USB UA4FX ALSA Control Device" devices are listed. I want to make the USB card the default for all applications and have internal card take over only when the USB card is unplugged.

The left side (on the tv) is cut off, like the image is justified too far left. I want it to be centered, but I also want to use a different resolution. You see, I use a netbook, and thus my laptop screen is tiny, meaning some things cant fit in the same window without scrolling. I want my TV to fix that for me.

I can not get the node or cloud controllers to startup using the init.d scripts. I have a fresh install of CentOS 5.4 with Eucalyptus 1.6.2 I have compiled Eucalyptus and all packages using the RPM supplied from Eucalyptus and utilizing yum installer. I do not currently have any processes or applications listening currently on the ports on the boxes as well. I think it may be a permissions issue or something because I get a "permission denied error", but I am not sure if it is Eucalyptus or CentOS. It looks as if it is not binding to the address on the interface of the NIC. It may be something else however. I have the Node controller, Cloud controller, and Cluster controller on seperate physical boxes. When I try to run either the cloud controller or the node controller I get this message:

Trying to monitor mysql 5.0.77 with nagios 3.2.1 under CentOS 5.4. Everything with nagios has been running without a hitch for me, however, when I added the following to /etc/nagios/objects/localhost.cfg to try to monitor mysql, I get an error that reads "Running configuration check... CONFIG ERROR! Restart aborted. Check your Nagios configuration."
define service{

I am somewhat new to CentOS, but I have read a lot of web pages and tried a good number of things trying to solve my own problem. I have made it worse a few times, but never better. I have an envision 1440x900 LCD monitor and a S3 Savage video chip on the motherboard. In System->Administration->Display->Hardware I am using generic LCD Panel 1440x900 and the video card is listed as "S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage KM266/KL266]. I believe both of these to be correct. I have added the mode to my xorg.conf
The problem is, under System->Preferences->Screen Resolution, the mode 1440x900 does not appear. The highest resolution is 1280x768. Does the S3 Savage just not have the ability to produce 1440x900?

Any ideas it is very annoying, like using web browser on a small tablet pc....This monitor works great with opensolaris, though.
Using both distros in virtualbox right now but even if not virtualized install on hard drive I cannot get higher than 800x600...Driving me nuts.
