My setup:
Acer Extensa 5635ZG
openSUSE 11.3
KDE 4.6.1 (from KDE:/Release:/46)
Nvidia G105M (with 260.19.44 driver)
After the upgrade to KDE 4.6.1 I can hear that the fan in the laptop is working harder, and hence is noisier. Before I had KDE 4.5.x (from KDE:/Release:/45).
With top I can't find anything that takes up more CPU than before.
At the moment I use Compiz instead of kwin. Kwin was a little choppy for me. (Same fan noise though.)
I am on opensuse 11.2 and sometimes when I shutdown the computer, It make a noise like "bzzz" but different than error beep. I think maybe there is a problem withe the automatic detection at the boot, but I really don't know alsa configuration or udev rules very well.
Code:
$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xfc400000 irq 22 1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xcfeec000 irq 17
The fan noise caused by my HP envy 15 when I'm using OpenSuse 11.3. When the computer is under W7 there is almost no fan noise. In OpenSuse, however, every three or two minutes the fan goes very loud. It sounds as if the machine were doing hard processing work when it is just surfing and doing office stuff.
Another issue is the battery consumption, I already tried the power option but the under OpenSuse the machine eats the battery in almost half of the time than under W7. it stands for just one hour under OpenSuse, when it uses two in W7. These machine comes with a core i7 and an ATI graphic card.
Whenever I reboot or shut down my computer (running OpenSuse 11.2 on a Dell Studio 15), it makes a weird noise that sounds like very loud static, even if my sound was muted when I selected shut down.
Well I've been trying to get suse 11.x up on antec media center and run mythtv on top of the platform. Only one thing "partially" missing is the sound. I hope that I'm not annoying anybody by posting this on the wrong site but hopefully somebody will give my directions on that or if there are something that I forgot to mention. I'm lost here and I hope somebody has the same problem and a solution to this problem ! Problem. Mythtv, xawtv and tvtime all display picture close to 100%. Sound start as 100% ok but after 30s - 100s gets lot of white noise in it.
[code]...
I don't get any error messages or dmesg on this so nothing there.
I have a dualboot installation of Linux and its commercial rivals.I noticed that Linux makes great hard disk noise that I was not able to hear while using Windows.Is it due to filesystem?
I need to install java jre 1.6.0_07 or higher. I did an install of java which was jre 1.6.0 but when running wine it errored out stating I needed jre 1.6.0_07 or higher in order to run this diabetes program which is a windows file.
linux-f9ak:/home/larry # yast2 --update all linux-f9ak:/home/larry # yast2 -i java jre 1.6.0_20 linux-f9ak:/home/larry # I tried the above in a terminal got an error.
Just bought a new 1080p monitor (1920x1080) and it works fine in OpenSUSE 11.3. Problem is before I get the KDE start screen everything is not full screen. Now, I checked the rest of the forums and I cannot find a full list of widescreen or 16:9 grub resolutions.
this post started after i have googled around about 2h without solving my problem: the higher the resolution is i set to my opensuse, the greater the symbols and text-sizes of my windows will be (pictures follow).
i installed openSuse in my vmware Workstation tryed differnt screen-sizes. for example here is a perfect display quality with a res of 1024x768: but if i change the res to 2560x1600 i get really ugly results. is there a setting to avoid the resizing of windows like firefox or dolphin /fixing the dpi?
I have installed Audacity from Packaman repo, because one from opensuse repo has no mp3 support. Now when I do zypper dup I get offered to upgrade Audacity and change vendor:
[Code]....
However, I would like to stick to Packamn repo. I have tried to change Packan repo Priority from 99 to 120, but I still get the same offer. If I protect the Audacity in Software Management, I will I be able to upgrade to new version of Packamn's Audacity if it hits repo in future?
I have an ATI Radeaon X800 GTO graphics card which is working fine in XP and I am running at a resolution of 1280 x 1024 @ 75 hertz and I am dual booting with Open Suse 11.3 and the highest resolution I can get is 1024 x 768 which makes the icons massive. Is there a simple way to install the correct drivers in 11, 3
Just did a new install of 11.4 over top of my 11.3 and when I reboot into the OS it seems to boot just fine but the video is unreadable. When I boot into the failsafe the screen has a lot of gitter and the monitor tells me it's not in preferred mode of 1680x1050 at 60hz. All resolutions higher than 1280x1024 are unreadable. Tried booting nomodeset as I've read previous ... no luck. I'm still learning linux.
Recently I have acquired 2-port KVM switch. When the monitor is connected through this KVM in Windows 7 resolution is properly detected - 1280x1024. When I go under Linux (openSUSE 11.4 with KDE, nVidia 260.19.44) there is a problem with the resolution. In the screen settings does not appear a resolution higher than 1024x768. How do I set the desired resolution in Linux?
I'm using the 270.41.19 nvidia properietary driver for my Geforce GTX460 graphics card. I have a Sony TV connected to my HDMI and I know it supports the 1920x1080 resolution. Yes it works after gnome or other DE loads up.
But during the GRUB screen and the bootup console - It defaulted to a 640x480 resolution (as it always does with the nvidia prop driver). I usually used to check the output of hwinfo --framebuffer and choose the resolution by appending the right vga=0xabc parameter.
But now I have a problem since hwinfo says the best widescreen 16:10 framebuffer resolution that my card supports is 1280x800. Here is the output from hwinfo --vbe which should give the info about both my gfx card and my TV.
The initial nouveau driver was able to output native 1920x1080 during the bootup on the console without issues, so I guess even the properietary driver should be able to output (If my understanding is right the nvidia module loads later during the bootup and only is required for the X but not for the console itself).
you can find a cutout of an output generated by "iwlist s" command for a cell. Does anybody know what Quality, Signal level and Noise level mean? What is the definition of them? I searched for it and could not find good information on it. What do these Extra:*** fields for? What does it show in the example above? How were those values computed?
My desktop becomes very quiet once windows7 is loaded.. but the fan, maybe cpu fan runs continuously in fedora 13. though it's not quite noisy, I thought I didn't install the correct drivers for the Asus h55 mb. the mb cd has a directory "isolinux", which contains a boot.cat, isolinux.bin, isolinux.cfg along with two subdirectories, data & src. but isolinux.bin is not executable.. how can I install the drivers in fedora?
My setup: HP XW8200 2x 3600MHz Xeon CPUs 4GB RAM Quadro FX3800 PCIe graphics Dual boot Ubuntu 10.10 32bit (primary use) and XP (gaming use only)
The issue I have is that the CPUs seem to run at 100% constantly in Ubuntu meaning that the CPU fans are constantly at high. This makes the machine sound like a wind tunnel!
It is nice and quiet in XP.
I installed GKrellM monitor which is what is telling me about the 100% CPU useage.
Would using the 64bit Ubuntu make any difference? (dont really want to reinstall tbh)
I have an install of Mint 9, and the fan runs a lot less then it did in Vista, but it still is way to loud because it's not very warm at all. I was wondering if there is a tool for Ubuntu/Mint that you could adjust this issue. It would be nice if it was a gui tool, but anything will do, because it's really bugging me.
I have a multiboot system with Windows Seven and Debian Squeeze installed.
When i run Windows, the fans in my PC work silently, but when i run Debian they making extremely terrible noise (looks like they working at full capacity).
I have 4 fans in my chasis, 1 CPU, 1 GPU and 1 PSU, 7 total.
I just installed Fedora 12, I have Linux Cetified Machine (got it in 2004). The backgorung noise is something that I didn't have before; my previous installation was Fedora 8. how to eliminate the background noise.
Since about a few weeks, I have a problem with the sound on my Ubuntu Jaunty 64-bit. From any application it would simply provide noise instead of the real sound. The motherboard is working fine and providing sound under Vista. Initially, I then managed to change the settings in System-> Sound from Auto to one of the options, which provided for a decent test result. Now this is not working anymore either ... so I only get noise out of my speakers.
Is it possible to keep the hard drive off most of the time, so that the laptop runs silently? (The fan has been taken care of already. Are there any other noise sources?)
I have no practical knowledge about this, but in theory it should be possible to cache frequently used files in RAM and to store disk writes on a flash drive...? UnionFS?
I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu and have been for a while now without issue. However today (actually now yesterday) i made the giant mistake of upgrading my on board HD3150 graphics to a PCIe HD5570 since then my whole life has fallen to bits.
First i noticed some visual noise on the screen. Concluding this was due to incorrect or out of date drivers i attempted to update them from the Hardware Drivers section. This gave the error:
SystemError: installArchives() failed
Activating from the command line using jockey gave the same error.
Deciding a reboot might be needed i did so. On power up all ubuntu and recovery modes produced an unskinned GUI with no desktop icons that responded to no mouse or keyboard input.
I was forced to reinstall the operating system.
On reinstalling and losing everything i had installed previously (it's going to take many days to get that all back and working again!), i still have the screen noise, have still been getting the same errors on attempting to activate the drivers, except now i also get this:
the installation of this driver failed.
Please have a look at the log file for details.: /var/log/jockey.log

I am dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10. When I am on Windows 7, I have no noise from the hard drive. When I use Ubuntu, every now and then I hear a short scratch noise from the hard drive. It didn't start doing it until installing Ubuntu when I was setting up the partitions.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 in a Samsung R510. I've tried to record sound with an external microphone and there have always been a permanent noise accompanying it.I thought it could be the internal microphone, that's causing the noise, but even when I disabled it the noise remains. Or maybe I didn't disable it the right way !
I'm getting this weird noise and (sometimes) delayed audio on HDMI out on VLC. I've tried banshee, miro, ..... on FF and all of them work just right. I would settle changing VLC's sound output to ALSA, but it's also buggy as I get no audio after pausing. Restarting or reloading Pulseaudio and ALSA didn't work either.
Does anybody have a recommendation? Obviously, I'd like to stick with VLC.
