Ubuntu :: Comp Fans Stay On Low And Comp Too Hot
May 25, 2010I have noticed a really bad problem on here that i never had on windows 7 even with overclocking.
It seems the fans stay on and are basically idling or are at minimum speed and the computer and graphics cores are just idling at 99c which is really dangerous, but not critical yet since this is an alienware laptop and the technician did say its temperature rating is above that.
The problem is I need to get the multiple fans in the case to start up and cranking like they do to keep the system really cool in windows 7. I kinda wanna get this fixed ASAP as i dont want to constantly be running at this temperature.
General :: Sites That List Comp Hardware That Works ?
Nov 18, 2009I have been wondering about building cheap, but usable computers to sell linux on around my city. However, my knowledge of computer parts is fairly limitied. I do know what I want to look for when it comes to certain parts, but not something such as mobo, unit case, or power unit.
If there really isn't a site, if anyone wanted to, post the kinds of cases, power units, and mobo's there are, and if possible links to their specs, and I'll start working on this myself. The only things that are a must, pci-e slot, and 2.5ghz and/or greater cpu.

May 30, 2010Ubuntu keeps shutting down my comp randomly for no reason at all. It doesn't even display any message, it just goes down without warning.
I'm sure it's not a heat issue. My computer never gets very hot and even when it does it still is very reliable.
Can someone please help me fix this? I'm very new to Ubuntu so i'm sorry if this question has already been answered somewhere else.

View 4 Replies View RelatedInstallation :: Setup Comp For Two Distros And No Windows?
Oct 20, 2010Before I always had Windows partition and I was installing Linux on a second partition. Now I would like to reformat the HD and only have two Linux distributions installed. The idea is that one will be for everyday use and the other will only be used occasionally for things such as banking etc. So for me it's very important that one Linux distro does NOT see the other one, and certainly not to share things such as /home. So my question is, once i reformat the disk and start installing first distro, which partitions should I make? Can I make partitions for both distros while installing the first one, or should I go one by one? Can there be two / partitions or two /home partitions? I guess swap can and should be shared. If there can be only one / and one /home partitions, do I create another partition where the second distro will go? How do I then define the / and /home for that second one?
I hope someone who has done something like that can share his/her knowledge. If distros are important, I am thinking about Ubuntu or Kubuntu for everyday use, and CentOS for banking. If someone can suggest another distro based on their security track record, I'd love to hear that too. I don't need nor want servers, both will be desktop versions with all ports closed.
Fedora :: OS Crash On Dual-boot Vista Comp?
Feb 27, 2011This morning I started my PBell desktop (dual booting Fedora/Vista) and Fedora opened fine. I started making entries in a text file with gEdit & when I saved it took a long while to complete the save (I had only entered a few lines of text).I then created a new folder in my home folder & tried to move other folders in to the new one but suddenly all the folders disappeared and the computer hung/froze. I tried a restart but again this did not complete fully (the cursor turned into a 'brick' & the progress bar hung).
I had to switch off & when I restarted I got Disk Read error. I tried switching off/on again and got Grub cursor. I switched off & on again & this time was told to put system disc in (I do not have a disc as I installed Fedora with USB install).So I switched off and left the computer for 15 minutes & when I switched on again it started Fedora normally.I experienced similar crashes with Ubuntu10.04 dual booting with Vista & this was the reason I decided to leave Ubuntu & install Fedora. When I used Ubuntu I did a DejaDup backup & I tried to use this with the DejaDup in Fedora to restore my data to Fedora but it didn't work.It appears there is some issue with my computer running Linux (dual boot Vista)-either Fedora or Ubuntu. How do I find out what the problem with my computer is and how do I proceed now?
Ubuntu :: Permissions On Files Moved To Comp From Smb Share?
Jun 4, 2011I have Ubuntu 10.10 running here and a Windows 7 desktop. I'm using samba to share files and folders. I have full read/write access to the 7 box, and vice versa. However, whenever a user of the 7 box drops a file on my Desktop, for example (it could be any of my shared directories), it always has a padlock on it and I have to chown it before I can move or delete it.Can anyone tell me how to get myself permanent ownership of these files? I'm pretty sure I had this problem once before, and it was an issue of adding myself to a particular group, but I forget.

Apr 11, 2010I setup a windows comp to do ics but decided I needed more control so I am trying to use a linux comp. heres the how to I am trying to follow. [URL] I will have both windows and debian machines connected. the first thing is to get my daughters winxp comp connected to the internet since she needs it for school. I need a central server to control which comp accesses what. most of the windows comps will be passing through to the internet while my linux machines will be accessing each other. maybe later a samba share. but right now I only need proxy and dns. I would say doing it with windows was easy but I learned how to do that from posts on this sight and someone might remember them. I will say it is now easy to do windows proxy but I need to replace a active directory domain with something differant. servers is where linux should excel. heres what I get when I type route.

Fedora Networking :: Dual Boot Comp Running Windows 7 And F13?

This does not occur under windows,so am not sure where to begin.box is running 64 bit quad core processor.

Ubuntu Servers :: Reinstall XAPP And Copy The Index.php Files From Another Comp?
Apr 18, 2010First off. I'm not using Ubuntu Server. But I'm trying to get XAMPP set up so I can test Wordpress themes I make. Using 9.10. I got XAMPP installed using the Instructions from Apache Friends. When I went to Localhost I got the language page. Selected English but nothing happened.
Here's my Index.php:
Code:
<?php
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ('on' == $_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
$uri = 'https://';
} else {
$uri = 'http://';
}
$uri .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
header('Location: '.$uri.'/xampp/');
exit;
?>
Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-( I searched and found a couple Index.php files. Deleted one. And now when I go to localhost I get a "Index of" page.I removed the XAMPP folder, Deleted Apache, PHP from Synaptic(They got reinstalled when i reinstalled XAMPP btw). Installed LAMP but it still does it. Maybe reinstall XAPP and copy the index.php files from another Comp?.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Wireless - Constant Connection Drop Offs - Comp Freezes
Oct 19, 2010I've been using a Netgear WG311v3 wireless card to connect to the internet successfully since 8.10. However, since 10.04 I've had some serious issues with this card (at least...I think it's the card). I updated to Meerkat hoping that the problem might fix itself, but it's still there. Here's the situation: The problem most often occurs when I'm running Transmission, but also Firefox. It also happens when streaming videos to my xbox via uShare...basically, any time I'm using the internet.
Suddenly, my download in Transmission will drop to 0.0 KiB/s or in Firefox, pages will stop loading. If I close and try to reopen Firefox, it tells me the process is already running. If I try to restart, it says firefox-bin is still running. I click reboot anyway, and the computer hangs indefinitely at the purple Ubuntu shutdown screen. The terminal also freezes if I try to run any commands that are wireless related, for example iwconfig or ifconfig. I have to close the terminal to kill the process.
I've also had more serious crashes when running Transmission where absolutely everything freezes and a hard reset is my only way out. Forgive my n00bishness and let me know what other information I can provide you with.
Ubuntu :: Cpufreq Scaling Applet Constantly Changes To "performance". (and Comp Freezes)?
Dec 10, 2010I am using Ubuntu 10.10 x64. When I try to change the setting to powersave or ondemand the applet resets back to performance after a few seconds. It is causing my laptop to get hotter than necessary. Which is bad.
Also, the computer tends to freeze at random times and a few seconds afterwards the screen will blank to a color like purple or white. sometimes vertical stripes too. I have had this issue since I installed 10.10. (It happened twice trying to type this post >.<)

Jan 16, 2010Trying to install CentOS 5.4 x64 on my I7 as a workstation, I'm having 2 issues.
1. I can't seem to get grub to boot directly to the GUI
2. There are GUI issues. Running startx gives me a black screen and in fact, my monitor goes off which tells me its not getting a signal from the graphics card (Nvidia GeForce 9600)
I tried following this post: [URL] but I could not find any errors and indeed checking the log file provides no errors.
The reason I want to stick with x64 is because I have 8GB of RAM I want to take advantage of because a lot of stuff will be virtualized. If it makes any difference, I do not have any virtualization packages installed.
General :: Yum Not Doing Anything (Centos 5)?
Feb 24, 2011I just set up a Centos distribution in a VirtualBox, it actually looks like everything looks fine so far. I can connect to the internet both with the browser and with my terminal (i.e. ssh and ping work). The problem is that yum doesn't seem to find anything. When I do
Code:
yum update
it says:
Code:
Loadad Plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
After that nothing happens. note, that it is not frozen: The terminal cursor is still blinking, when I hit CTRL+C i get a "Exiting on user cancel"
At first I thought it was fastestmirror, so I tried
Code:
yum --disablepluging=fastestmirror update
which resultet again in the blinking cursor but otherwise there were no other progresses.
