i'm using slackware 13.37. (Sony Vaio VGN-FS315H)
my fans are working all the time, they are loud and it's annoying.
I already did sensors-detect, but I get this message every time.
Code:
Sorry, no sensors were detected.
This is relatively common on laptops, where thermal management is handled by ACPI rather than the OS.
I have a linux (Slackware) machine and the time/date is like, June 23rd 2003, 10:00am (It's 11 here) and I am not able to set the time to have it correct. I change the timezome to Montreal but the time is still wrong.
Is there a way to force it to sync with my domain controler or even another online NTP server?
It looks,slackware is taking too much time to boot. It's starting daemons at boot time.
What are those daemons that i can stop at boot time to increase booting time?
What's the best way to stop starting daemons at boot time?
I've been running arch linux, with my clock set to UTC with no problem. Recently I installed slackware on a different partition. During the setup I chose to set my clock to 'local time' instead of UTC by accident. Now in slackware my clock shows the wrong time. Also in arch it shows the same wrong time.
I booted back into slackware and ran pkgtool to enter the setup again, and changed my time to UTC. But this makes no difference. My clock is still wrong in both slackware and arch. Do I need to reboot after changing my clock settings in slackware before it takes effect? how the clock or the setup works.
How can I set my processor fan to 100% in linux?

Fujitsu supports only windows servers, red-hat enterp. and suse enterp. Is there any software to control speed fans?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use GKrellM [URL].. to monitor my system's fans/temperatures (I am trying to undervolt the fans a bit to make the systems quieter), but there don't seem to be any sensors available. I have lm_sensors installed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm finally making the change away from rhythmbox for the now adopted Banshee and I'm noticing that my fans run really hard when I'm running banshee. I'm monitoring speeds and don't notice a huge increase in temp but the fans none the less run hard. CPU usage is running around 6% for banshee not nearly enough to cause this fairly large laptop so having the fans run hard make it a bit loud when around others
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am going to upgrading the cooling in my computer, so I bought 3 case fans (the amount my case has room for). They have 4 pin connectors, so I was just going to plug 2 of them into the 2 available fan headers, and then plug the last one into a molex connector considering that they all come with molex adaptors. However, according to this site, your not supposed to because its too much strain on the motherboard? I am not (never have never will) overclocking so is that just for overclockers? My motherboard manual says it will work with 12 volt fans which are what these are.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just did a clean reinstall of Ubuntu (10.04 --> 10.10). After the install, any time I do CPU intensive work, my PC is suddenly shutting down like it's overheating.Everything was working fine for months, and started having problems immediately after the reinstall. so this is not a problem with my hardware, and it's not a problem with my fans needing cleaning -- it's a problem with software. So please don't tell me "that sounds like overheating, clean your fans". Something is different in software-land between 10.04 and 10.10 that is causing this to happen -- I assure you that the upgrade did not magically fill my fans with cat hair.
I have checked my log files, and can't find anything related to overheating -- searches for things related to lm_sensors, "temp", and "thermal" are not turning up anything in the system logs (syslog, kern.log, or messages). I also looked at the logs around the times of the sudden shutdown, and couldn't find anything unusual.How can I diagnose this? I'd like to file a bug report, but since I can't find anything in the logs, I honestly have no idea how to go about providing useful information.Is there anything besides overheating that might be causing my laptop to suddenly shut off?
I am running Fedora11 on a brand new HP Pavilion Elite, and the fans just won't stop running at full speed.
I have tried
Code:
Which told me lm_sensors was already installed.
Next I did
Code:
Taking the default answer to all questions asked.
Doing
Code:
Gives me something like this:
Which I suppose are normal values, which do not require fans spinning at full power.
However,when I do
Code:
I get this output:
I upgraded my Asus Eeepc 900a to 10.4 yesterday. Since then, Xorg has averaged between 30-40% CPU, and my fans have gone nuts running high/low/high/low, ad nausium.
Any ideas what might be going on? Another clue perhaps: on reboot or shutdown, I get a "program not responding" message with "unknown" as the hung program. I have not been able to determine what this program is or if it is related to the hyperactive Xorg.
I have an HP ProLiant DL560 server with Debian 6.0 installed and cannot figure out how to get the fans to run at anything except high. I have searched google and this site, but cannot find anything that works on Debian 6; the SLES packages will install, but don't do anything.
Server Specs:
HP ProLiant DL560
4x Intel Xeon 2.20GHz processors
6GB RAM
2x 72.8GB 15k rpm SCSI HDDs (Raid 1)
2x power supply
I'm trying to bring my Slackware system back to life as my XP HDD is dying... I've got everything working except for my audio. I got a new motherboard (ASRock P43DE3) and it has a VIA VT1708S as the onboard audio. Is there any way I can get this working without rebuilding the kernel?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently bought the Alfa AWUS036h which uses the Realtek rtl8187 chipset. I am able to load the module and connect to any network, but its almost as soon as I try to load a page the connection drops. It never stays connected for more than 30 seconds. My other computers using the same adapter in the same spot work fine, unfortunately there not running slackware. I've tried compiling the newest stable kernel and checked the rd.inet1.conf settings.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've been using cron to clear /tmp at boot time but thought I'd try another method. After doing a little research I added the following line:
Code:
( cd /tmp && rm -rf -- * .* 2>/dev/null )
to /etc/rc.d/rc.S immediately after:
Code:
# Done checking root filesystem
And /tmp is not clearing out at boot time. This method seems to work for others.
so when they log on to their profile in kde, they have a max of "x" hrs per day, but not necessarily on any set schedule. can it be done?

This is the alsa-info: [URL]
There's a lot of errors like that in the Internet but none really present a solution, seems like this is an old problem that has been solved a while ago by alsa, but not here.
Just some things I changed to speed up the boot time.

I use Slackware from version 12.0 When i have two write something more formal the choice is always Latex. But as we all know the TEX version presented in Slackware is no longer supported (since 2009), I produce some report that used algorithmic package and in Windows generates correctly (last TexLive) but in Slackware64 13.34 give error because don't understand some macros.
We all know that the tex version is outdated, and TexLive may be too big, but I'm starting this thread so we could find a solution.
For example MiKTeX can be a suitable substitute?
I did a fresh install of Slackware 13.37, and everything is great, and thanks to Pat and the team.
Recently I notice that Wireless drops out all the times, and it will show low connection first, then basically drops.
Is there anything I forgot to do?
For me, I normally have two ways to bring up wireless, sometime I use WICD, sometimes I just use "ifconfig....iwconfig...dhcpcd eth1"
btw, if I log in WindowsXP, wireless never or seldom drops.
