I installed ubuntu for the first time tonight and to put it simply everything is very confusing. I have been looking at different forums and everyone is installing programs in code and tbh i have no idea how to and i was wondering is there a program available that lets me monitor my CPU temp & alter fan speeds?

I've recently installed Karmic on my new machine with the following specs;
Asus M4A785TD-V EVO Motherboard
AMD Athlon II X4 620 2.6GHz
Crucial 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3
Coolermaster Elite 330 Case
Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB
I'm looking to install some sort of temperature monitoring for my cpu and have had luck using either lm-sensors or acpi. With lm sensors, I've followed the various how to's on the forum and am still coming back with nothing. Trying to add hardware monitoring to panel brings up a 'no sensors found!' error, and x-sensors just starts up with a blank screen.
'sensors' in terminal spits back this -
Code:
lou@lou-quad:~$ sensors
No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.
lou@lou-quad:~$
I've added the relevant lines into etc/modules as per the last question during configuration but still no joy. I've just run 'sensors-detect and had a gander at the output, and I'm wondering if its as simple as no one has written a driver for my mobo yet.

Is there any way to monitor ambient temperature over the net?
For example I want to put one thermometer in the front of the cabinet (cold isle) and one in the back (hot isle) and monitor them over the internet, or have them report to a linux box.
What is the best way to do that?
I am running CentOS on this box and I'd like to be able to monitor the CPU temperature via the command line. Is this possible?

There has been an annoying 'system fan has failed' error message that was dealt with by replacing a fan and installing speedfan and hardware monitor on the windows partition, but my opensuse installation has no such programs running, and I want to keep things cool while I'm running opensuse. Speedfan is a program that tells the fans to turn on and off. Usually according to the temperature that the sensors are reading. The program shows temperatures and fan speeds and allows you to have control.Is there a fan speed/temperature monitoring program for opensuse?

View 3 Replies View RelatedBasically i want it so that the analogue stick on my PS2 controller, which connects via a USB adaptor and is recognized, correctly controls in game characters. It seems to work fine enough in platformers, at least it does with Banjo Kazooie, but with games like perfect Dark it seem to be trying to move forward and look down at the same time, also backward and look up simultaneously and look sideways and move sideways simultaneously , rendering the game all but unplayable.
I have tried running jscal and, apart from the fact that it seems a bit beyond me, it reports "jscal: missing devicename" when i try to run "jscal -c". Do others out there have there analogue sticks working correctly with games like Perfect Dark, or the James Bond games, for example?
I can not get the node or cloud controllers to startup using the init.d scripts. I have a fresh install of CentOS 5.4 with Eucalyptus 1.6.2 I have compiled Eucalyptus and all packages using the RPM supplied from Eucalyptus and utilizing yum installer. I do not currently have any processes or applications listening currently on the ports on the boxes as well. I think it may be a permissions issue or something because I get a "permission denied error", but I am not sure if it is Eucalyptus or CentOS. It looks as if it is not binding to the address on the interface of the NIC. It may be something else however. I have the Node controller, Cloud controller, and Cluster controller on seperate physical boxes. When I try to run either the cloud controller or the node controller I get this message:
Cloud Controller:
[root@cluster-cont ~]# /etc/init.d/eucalyptus-cc start
Starting Eucalyptus cluster controller: (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:8774

Any program that can monitor changes to files? I've had an issue for a while now where files will simply disappear. Specifically, FLAC files that are loaded into Rhythmbox. Once I've found the files in the Trash bin, but I've just noticed several that appear to have been missing for some time, as they were not in the Trash. Basically, I'd like something that will log the non-read activities of a given directory or directories.

I'm looking for an app that will keep track of my usage, so I don't go over 200. I was using "System Monitor", but it's a little buggy, so I'd like to try something else.
I wondering does the evolution-alarm-notify and evolution-data-server-1.4 would remove from the system monitor or just leave them alone. I didn't want to touch them that would cause system diseaster, can you please confirm for both if say yes to remove that will be good safe.. I am running older version of Ubuntu 5.10 on my lappy.
My firefox browser takes too much memory that runs very slowest and I need to cut down the both program list above or what I need to remove some other program in the system monitor.
I have a macbook pro with an Nvidia 9600m gt card. default colors look nothing like they do on my mac. I would like to calibrate the colors. How would one do this in Ubuntu? I have looked around and seen Xgamma, Argyll, and display calibrator. These programs do not work, mainly the display calibrator gui. I see Nvidia xserver has a color correction function, and that looks good. However, how do you use it? I can tweak colors but they end up looking incorrect still.
I am looking for a detailed step by step tutorial about how to calibrate a monitor, which are aimed at newbies who don't have much prior knowledge. On the mac it was incredibly simple; anything like this on Ubuntu?
I use Rapidshare a lot to download files and wanted a simple terminal command or program that would shutdown my monitor so I don't have to manually do it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAt the school i work in i have a server2k3 server that provides a domain to all the windows clients, aswell as a fedora server that acts as an imaging machine and webserver.
Im rather concious of the fact that if for any reason the Server2k3 server was to die there is no backup of active directory, or anything that can take its place whilst a replacement is found.
So is it possible to use a fedora machine with samba as a secondary domain controller? so it can be used as a login server, and has a copy of AD.
I was thinking to do my music producing completely on linux and found a plethora of good tools for it. The thing is I have two monitors and instead of launching manually every little app each time I feel creative, I want to make a script that launches all my favorite apps.
So long I have written this little bash script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#Start my audio programs for music production
(qjackctl --start)&
(hydrogen --nosplash)&
sleep 1
ardour2
So what it does is that it starts the jack server, then hydrogen and lastly ardour2. The thing is that I want hydrogen to start in the second monitor but don't know how. I have devilspie but I didn't have any luck on finding some command to choose display. I am aware of the --display flag that some programs have like firefox but hydrogen doesn't have it. Btw I use a different X server on each screen. is there a universal way to launch ANY kind of program on a specific display?
I have my system connected to a sky wifi box (LAN connection) for my broadband, I also have about 4 tenants connected too, via wireless.
I was wondering if there were a program that i could run on my system that could monitor, or that i could use that would tell me how much data each person is using/downloading and what websites they were viewing etc..
i have recently had a house mate move in and he is using my wireless network, even though i asked him not to give out the network key to his friends either he has or they have hacked my network and are using it when they come over, is there a program i can use to monitor the number of computers that are connected to my network and block them, or is there a way i can just wee what is going on. They seem to just connect and i don't want to have to change the password particularly because that involves changing it on multiple devices.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a system with 1 GB RAM. I'm running KDE 4. I created a tab to look that the Physical Memory in the System Monitor program, which I assume appears to look at the same stats that "top" looks at. In that Physical Memory tab I have 3 tables: Used Memory, Free Memory, and Application Memory.The Used Memory table shows that the system is using .94 of .98 GiBytes. The Free Memory table shows that the system has .5 GiBytes of RAM free.
However the Application Memory shows that only 339 M-Bytes of RAM is being used.Note that "top" shows the same info.So where is the other .6 GiBytes of RAM that the Used Memory table shows as being used?If I look at the process table which is supposed to encompass all of the processes running, including the ones for the OS, then it appears to add up to the 339 M-Bytes being used in the Application Memory table. Is the rest of the memory being held in reserve by the OS to be used as needed? If so, then why when another application is opened the Free Memory goes down instead of staying constant?I also noticed this memory "black hole" when I was running 11.0 on a system with 4 GB of RAM. The OS appeared to "take up" a large chunk of memory that was NOT being used by any applications and making it "disappear" - meaning that the applications were using about 1.3 GiBytes of RAM and Free Memory was showing only .7 GiBytes instead of the over 2 GB of RAM that should be free.
I've been looking for a program to easily monitor hard drive access,what I am finding doesn't seem to do what I (and others) want. Does Linux have a program to show me what is writing to the hard drive and where, in real-time? It seems gamin doesn't present the info in a human-usable form and loggedfs needs fuse, which I am not sure is available now. Something with a gui would be nice, but I am not sure Linux has such a program, like Windows does. Other threads here indicate that there are not many choices and strace needs a path, which I don't know yet.

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?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a notebook with AMD Athlon 64 QL-62 2 cores CPU. Normally the temperature is 50-52 Celsius in idle but with Ubuntu 10.04 beta 2 idle temp is 60 Celsius. /proc/cpuinfo shows both cores on 1GHz which is good but still temp is higher than usual. I tried to find solution using Google but I didn't find anything.

There is a debugging panel on my motherboard, and I think that that displays the CPU temperature, although I am not sure.
Trying to install Ubuntu from CD. I choose my language and hit Install and come to a black screen with the Ubuntu symbol glowing (loading everything I assume) and after a minute my screen fills up with messages saying my CPU Temperature is 99 (gets progressively higher) degrees. Is there something else I need to do before installing?
I have windows installed on my C drive and I'm planning on installing Linux on another blank drive. The Ubuntu version is the newest one (9.10) I think. I've got a Core i7, EVGA mobo, Nvidia 9600GT video card, and 6 gigs of memory. HDDs are all WD I believe, and the one I'm putting Linux on is 320 Gig.
In my system, the temperature of the CPU can be known from the file,/sys/bus/acpi/devices/LNXTHERM:00/ thermal_zone/temp . But I have found that not all systems have this file. Is there a generic method to get the temperature. Installing a package for this purpose won't be a solution as I'm building a simple gnome-shell extension. Something that comes along with the kernel would be perfect.
What could be other files that can possibly store temperature information, so that it would work on most atleast if not all? Any help like the file that stores temperature on your particular system only would also be highly appreciated.
Does anybody know wich temperatures a VIA C7 processor can tolerate (max) ?
If i let the server run without the top: ~40C (104 Fahrenheit)
If i let the server run _with_ the top on: ~65C (149 Fahrenheit)
Someone over at silentpcreview.com suggests that the C7 can easely tolerate temperatures of 100C (212 Fahrenheit)
