View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 alongside OSX on my unibody aluminum macbook. I've been setting it up, but I was wondering if there were any applets that could display things like CPU temps (maybe even RAM usage? I'm thinking along the lines of the iStat menubar app, but of course I'm willing to try out anything). I tried searching the Software Center, but couldn't quite find what I was looking for. I was exploring the keyboard shortcuts, and I was wondering if there was a way to set a shortcut to empty the trash? Like in OSX they have shift+apple+delete.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a web server whos DocumentRoot is:/tmp/wwwNow, /temp/www/fake/ is a directory that contains a series of other files/folders.What I want to do is access the files in /temp/www/fake as if they were in the root directory (/temp/www/)For example:
could either be located in "/temp/www/test.php"
-or-
located in "/temp/www/fake/test.php"
so "http://127.0.0.1/test.php" would essentially call both directories. Is this possible? Whould I do this through apache or through the actual file system somehow? (Like some sort of symbolic link?) I would love to hear your input.
i have added the hardware sensors monitor to the panel and enabled....but i can only enabled my hardisk temp(i.e. hddtemp)...but there is no option of cpu.....how can i enable my cpu temp??
View 5 Replies View Relatedis it possible to have the tmp or temp folders assigned elsewhere. I am actually looking to stick them in the shm folder since there is enough memory to throw around the place ..
View 1 Replies View Relatedi've recently been required to monitor my cpu's temp. for one, i have no idea how to do so, and for another i'd like to do so by continually seeing the temperature displayed on the top menu bar, similarly to how you can setup graphs displaying your cpu use, memory, etc.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm looking at conky and my cpu frequency is fluctuating really fast (in a relatively narrow range) but from second to second I can see a 2-3 degree change, is this even possible? It seems like the sensors aren't working right if they are showing changes that fast.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to read the host cpu's temperature from a virtual guest?
(1) Where host = ubuntu desktop and guest = ubuntu server, and
(2) Where host = windows xp and guest = ubuntu server?
Typically I would read the contents of /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature on host ubuntu desktop. I guess its more tricky when running ubuntu on windows host. What I am trying to do is shutdown guest if host cpu temperature is greater than certain value.
Any good ideas for a GUI program that monitors temp for CPU and hard drive? I'd prefer one that is like a system monitor that can show trends on a graph (like CPU usage, etc). It is irritating that you can't even add a silly app to the panel because UNE is locked (ERR, Ubuntu, what were you thinking? Give US the choice! Rant over) So far, I have just written a quick script after installing lm-sensors and hddtemp and run the necessary setup routines that will show me, but I would like some of the history data.
Code:
#! /bin/bash
# zenity --info --title "Temp INFO" --text "sensors"
The new splash screen would fly by in two shakes without, the dots moving left to right.And I was looking at more blackness than purple. So what I did was this without installing a slower uvesa v86d update. I used that as a reference point instead. This is what me Grub2 looks like: /etc/default/grub
Code:
GRUB_DEFAULT=2
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

In Karmic, where is the temporary file stored of a video like ..... after it is played?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using ubuntu karmic kola 9.10. The problem I have been having lately is of overheating of my intel core2duo proc, where the temp reaches around 80-90 degrees and the cpu shuts down after a while and the message from the bios is of thermal trip. Ideally my cpus temp is around 55 deg,the moment when the temp starts to climb and when I run a top command, I see arpwatch taking 100 % of cpu. After googling I came across this.
Code:
[URL]. How can a process which is taking 100 % cpu cause a system to over heat and shutdown in few mins? I have had seen instances where processes taking a lot of cpu but not something like this.

So I mounted an ISO of MEPIS 11 in /mnt/temp, having understood that I can access the files. Well, no, I can't--not really. Almost all the files in the distro are part of the 1.2 GB "mepis" file that comprises the bulk of what's in the iso. I thought I would be able to look inside the distro's guts if I mounted the iso, which would probably have been helpful in explaining why my remastered copies of the ISO weren't any smaller even after I removed a large amount of the applications. (I wanted to modify MEPIS 11 to make it fit onto a CD.) If I can't do this, what is the practical use of mounting the iso and looking at the files?

Here's my conky configuration:

This problem has occurred over a few years and with a number of Gnome distributions, including Ubuntu and Fedora, and it just won't go away. I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 / Gnome. Almost immediately, windows that opened would grey out and temporarily freeze. The mouse can still move, most of the time. The greying of windows can happen frequently or not a all for a while. The freezing can last a few seconds or many. This inconsistency makes it difficult for me to figure out what is triggering this problem. I don't know if it is hardware related, either.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a Linux application which can display motherboard and CPU sensor information and which also satisfies one other, absolutely key, requirement: It should be directly usable, after installation, by a reasonably intelligent computer application user. That is, it does NOT require deep internal knowledge of specific hardware or obscure system software customisation. It does not require hours, days or weeks of reading of documentation which is so crafted as to be the antithesis of end-user guides. It must be capable of being invoked easily.
This eliminates all software that the Ubuntu Software Centre lists when performing a search with the term 'sensors', with the exception of xsensors. All other software listed with this search installs without error but is then totally invisible to me - not even listed under 'installed software'. I am aware a key requirement to be a Linux developer is an advanced commitment to play games of 'I bet I can make my software harder to use than yours', but I'm too old for that now. I don't have a need to prove how technically capable I am.
Xsensors installs and tells me where it can be found, but is inadequate as it lists only 2 CPU core temperature readings. It does not give me any indication of motherboard temperature or fan speeds. That's all I want to do - get a simple snapshot of sensor values without having to resort to entering BIOS setup. It's the sort of information that is so easily available using the ASUS-supplied 'asus-probe' software under Windows. Is it possible, given the key requirement previously mentioned?
I just got myself a OCZ vertex 2 SSD and have been moving cache directories to a ram drive to try to help extend the life of my SSD and improve system performance. I have created a ram drive /tmp directory in fstab like soCode: tmpfs /tmp tmpfsnodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=1777 0 0 And have since moved my Firefox temporary files to the /tmp directory and it have gotten me thinking, what else can I move here. I am going to upgrade my computer to have 8gb�s of ram which is way more than I�ll ever need.I would like to move the transmission cache dir there but I don�t know how to. Anyone have any tips on that? I was thinking of maybe a script that will run when I login to create a symbolic link?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if there is a proper way (or just best practice) to using temp files and the /tmp directory. Background story: In a script I had been using mktemp to create temp files in /tmp. Needless to say that after running this script for a while, it filled /tmp and my HDD with these files. I didn't realize that i needed to do house cleaning of /tmp.
So now I'm curious as to how to properly use temp files and how to not abuse /tmp. I suppose some of my shortcomings arise from the fact that I somehow had the crazy idea that /tmp was policed by the system and cleaned out when necessary. I assume that I'll just need to self police and use my temp files more intelligently and get rid of them when I'm done with them instead of letting them clutter up /tmp.
using acpi -t I noticed that my CPU temperatur is at around 60C while just using Google Chrome in Fedora 15.
In Windows7 doing the same thing, my CPU is at 50C.
Do you know maybe a little trick to lower the CPU load or how I can detect which background apps are not needed in F15/Gnome3?
In fact, F15 is running much much faster than Windows on my UL30V Laptop...

I have got a Dell Latitude E6420 and I run Fedora 15 on it. Almost everything works fine except that I can not get correct CPU temperature with, for example, the sensors command.
When I run
lsmod | grep therm
I got nothing,
Also, when I run
locate thermal.ko
I also got nothing.
Where are temp files stored in SuSE 11.0? I am trying to find all of those videos and .jpgs and other miscellaneous files I've downloaded in the past, and which are now only taking up space on my hard drive. I'd like to clean out all of that. I have looked in both /tmp and in /.kde but don't see what I'm looking for.
