Yesterday I have replaced my Athlon64 3000+ with an Athlon64 4000+ on an Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard with 2 GB RAM and a 6600GT.
(I have built my own core-i5 based machine a few weeks ago, just to show that I am not living in the past when it comes to PC hardware ).
In WinXP (dual boot with Ubuntu), the idle core temperature is (on average) 40C (104F) with Q-Fan enabled in the BIOS. (Isn't this a bit high?) With AMD's "Cool'n'Quiet" enabled and "Q-Fan" disabled in the BIOS, the CPU fan makes too much noise (for my taste). With both "Cool'n'Quiet" and "Q-Fan" enabled, the idle core temp is (on avarage) 27C (80.6F). The CPU speed drops to 1 GHz (instead of the 4000+'s 2.4 GHz).
This is all according to the Windows program "CoreTemp", and with the original, stock heatsink. I was struggling with a "Freezer 64 Pro" that came with the 4000+, and just ended up putting the stock cooler back on it (took 10 seconds).
To get to the point: how can I measure the temperature of my "new" (second-hand) CPU in Ubuntu?
Does an OS influence the temperature of a CPU?
I have searched and read about "conky" (which according to Synaptic is installed on my 10.04 system, but I don't see it in the start menu), but it doesn't seem to be/do what I am looking for.
to show cpu temp but this temp is different from the temp in system monitor indicator which i think is the correct one...so what is the proper code to use in conky to show a proper cpu tem?

I am new to Debian but not Linux-based systems. I have been experimenting a lot with Debian Lenny/Squeeze. I am growing more comfortable each day with the Debian design. Yet there remain many unexplored areas. I am creating a migration check list. Things to check, prepare, or reconfigure when moving from one Linux-based system to Debian.
I have a good computer background and my current check list probably is fairly good. Yet I would appreciate input and opinions from experienced Debian users of things to watch in such a migration. Login defs, passwd/group files, different directory locations, keymaps, services and daemons, etc. I am not too concerned with the desktop as I plan to stick with KDE 3.5 for a while and I can basically move those settings across.
I have a Ubuntu box with a ftp service on. I wanto to upload/download files from my Win XP connected via LAN. I tried ftp command from cmd but I received "Error 530. Login incorrect. Login failed".I'm using root, I am 100% sure about the password (I managed to connect via putty), I just wonder how I can check the ftp connection from xp to ubuntu... maybe a firewall is blocking the port 21?I also tried ftp command in ubuntu (when I was connected with putty) and I got "connection refused" error.
I clicked "Safely remove hardware" (not sure if it's right - using Russian version..). It's right above Properties (right-clicking on the disk in Computer). So, I want to get it back. How do I do that? Also, how do I check the SD for errors?
My netbook running ubuntu 10.04 seems to be constantly transmiting data to the internet at about 100 kib when I am not even on the internet ? Is there a way to check what is being sent and how can I check if my netbook has been hijacked ?
Kev
I was running transmission in the background and I hadn't noticed. As soon as I turned transmission off the internet went static.
when i open update manager, i click check for updates, than i get this:
W:Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/...source/Sources 404 Not Found , W:Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/...-i386/Packages 404 Not Found
So I would like to check out my cpu temperature in function of time. I've followed [URL]...gpu-en-ubuntu/ but unfortunately in the description it was for the old version of Ubuntu and despite having downloaded the program, I simply can't add it in the taskbar. I did in a terminal: sudo apt-get install sensors-applet. Then I installed a few remaining packets from synaptic. Now how do I run the program?
I can see what Firestarter is blocking in the Firestarter/Events tab, but after reading all the man pages of UFW, I still don't know how to check what the UFW is blocking.
I need to install Mercurial, and i want to do it through the shell. Yesterday i tried it, but i got the 1.1.5 version (something like that),but i need the newest version.How can i check the version of the package being downloaded (or about to be) and/or get the newest version?
I just dloaded ubuntu 10.04 iso, i used firefox and on the way i had to pause n start for about 5 times, when i burned the iso with brasero and booted from it I got an error, but recently I have burned discs with my burner and they never work. So how do i check if the iso is correct or not
I opened Evolution to send an email, and up popped this warning: What's more, I can't get rid of the warning: clicking Cancel does no good, nor clicking the X in the corner of the box. And if I try to close it via the "Window Menu" at the top left corner of the box, Close does nothing. I haven't tried clicking OK, because I don't know what I'd be agreeing to.
Just a little thing to make my Lynx Lucid installation perfect
I find it annoying when using Aspell in Evolution to have to check through the whole text before I arrive on the word that I need to check. Of course Aspell goes through all the headers in the email etc.
Is there any other alternative, or way of setting up the spelling preferences to make it possible to highlight a word and check it directly (like for instance Thunderbird does on other not to be mentioned systems)?
I have a epson sx100 and i can't check my ink levels with esputil. This is what i get when i type the command.
pianoterra@pianoterra-desktop:~$ sudo escputil -r /dev/usblp0 -s Escputil version 5.2.0-rc1, Copyright (C) 2000-2006 Robert Krawitz Escputil comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'escputil -l'
[Code].....
I also have another problem which is i can't change the permissions of /dev/usblp0 because i stupidly changed them in to read write execute to all using chmod 777 without thinking that the device file isn't executable. Why can't i change the permissions back as they were?
I was just curious if there was an easy way to check if a window is maximized in terminal (preferably with wmctrl and not by checking the x,y dimensions of said window)?
I have a starling netbook, but I have the regular ubuntu interface on it. I normally have it plugged into a power source, but now it is unplugged. As I remember, at one time there was an icon on the top bar that showed you how much battery life you have left, but now I don't see it. How do I get info on the percent of power I have left?
The last round of updates to 10.04 changed the initrd image, which I wasn't expecting. How do I check the updates to make sure that this is in fact the expected behavior? I.e., how do I go back and check which updates were supposed to have been installed, check what was actually installed, and see which one modified the initrd and why?
I'd like to know if there is a script that can check and see if an application has been closed (I don't know a great deal about bash programming).I'm running an organ programme with this script.
/usr/bin/jackd -r -t5000 -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p1024 -n2 -P & java -jar /home/user/jOrgan/jorgan.jar & jack-rack -s space space &
I am running Ubuntu 10.10.I just purchased a 1TB external drive (USB). I formatted it Ext4 and everything works perfectly except it checks/indexes it everytime i boot which takes forever.I can turn it off on boot to fix the issue, but was just wondering if there was a bypass of this check on this particular drive.
