both gives "ondemand" output...
currently i'm not using debian squeeze repo, i'm using sid's repo...
and original kernel that came with sid's update also gave me current temp.. so i thought maybe its kernel issue, so i change to liquorix kernel, which is 2.6.36-2.dmz.5-liquorix-686 but temp still spiking

@axxer
Hmm... I don't have any Core2Duo T series processor laptop here to test out myself.

Could be one of 3 possibilities.

1. It's normal for your model.

2. lm-sensors might be reporting it wrong.... Notice how the "high" and "critical" are the same.

3. Your laptop fan needs cleaning.

Do you happen to have a windoze partition on the same laptop? If yes, boot into windows and install a temperature monitor app (google it) and see if the core temperatures are in the same range.

Do you remember your lm-sensors output from back when you used Ubuntu?

You can try installing a daemon called irqbalance. It's function is to distribute load across your system more evenly, so *in theory* it's not supposed to affect your temperature, but a few users have reported cooler core temps under load with irqbalance installed. All you have to do is install it and reboot, it will run itself. If you see no change or you get an error during boot, you can just remove it without problems.

Lastly, try unplugging your laptop and using it under battery power for a couple of hours, and monitor your temperatures too see if they're cooler, since cpufreq is supposed to load the "powersave" module when on battery power. If you still get the same high temps when on battery power, then something might be wrong with the scaling.

P.S
How high does your CPU temp go when under load? Try running a few flash videos or h264 HD mkv files, or run some heavy filter effects with Gimp. Does it spike a lot (as in more than 10 - 15 degrees)??

Good morning to all penguins, happy friday....

I can see all our threads in opensource/linux now getting active with more ppl contributing into the discussions.

Yup , very happy bout it XD

"Its growing , its growing , ITS GROWING !!!"



Oh my , Minitunes only uses 7MB O.O

@powerwoot
Good morning to you too.
Alas, I'm not so happy .... cos I haven't solved axxer's high core temperature problem yet.

Btw, I'm currently a little devil (FreeBSD), not a penguin.

@cocooh
Wah lau!! ... You still searching for audio players? O_O
Just go install MoC or MPD + Ncmcpp or Cplay or Cmus man .... you won't bother with others after that.
Oh, if you want a fat GUI one, the newest Audacious beta (Ubuntu has a PPA somewhere) is very good. Supports GTK+ themes now and also does gapless playback very well.

You are a devil, I have to accept that

btw, good morning to all our friends here, those celebrating Xmas today, wish u all Merry Xmas, hohoho!

currently downloading LMDE 201012 64bit version. Hopefully can complete it before off to home this evening, run it and see how it works.

Merrrrrrrrrrryryyryryrryyyyyyyyyyrrrrrrrryryyrryryry Christmasssssssssssssssssssss EVEWY1!!!!!!111!1!!1!

Aha, time to get back on compiling Rigs Of Rods. Man, I still can't figure out why pkgconfig can't find my OGRE installation. I installed it from the tarball source package. Any ideas?

Gooooooood evening!

Managed to installed and run the LMDE 201012 64bit, had some trouble with nvidia driver. Now I am running with legacy 173xx and have my reso back. hoho!

congratz

hehe but many things need to be solve first, my font rendering is not as good as Mint 10 and openSUSE.

read here.. it works for me
http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=141&t=55896
btw how about compiz in this release? is it still disable in default install like in previous release?

This post has been edited by axxer: Dec 25 2010, 09:49 PM

yerp, they still disable it as before, but I read there is a workaround to make it enable. But for me compiz is not such a priority at this moment, now I am having grub error unable to recognize LMDE partition and unable load it via my opensuse's legacy grub. Need more reading...

yup.. theres a workaround for that

maybe they disable it because had problem with certain hardware.. but now compiz run smoothly on my lmde, did'nt noticed any glitches whatsoever

I read both of the threads about font and compiz, the same article I followed their steps in enabling the nvidia proprietary driver.

Boot my LMDE via openSUSE's legacy GRUB >> done
Installed Nvida proprietary legacy 173xx driver >> done
To enable compiz >> later on, tried compiz --replace >> it works temporarily
I am having terrible rainbowish font in Firefox >> looking for best solutions right now

Added on December 26, 2010, 10:46 amhmm followed the instructions, the overall font on desktop improved but not in firefox. Temporarily ditched FF and set my web browser into google chrome as default.

You've been ninja'd my friend.

i think my hdd bricked. stucked at boot screen.

So did you fix your Grub21 error and get this, or is this part of the first problem?

If this is a separate problem, can you be more specific, please?
When you say "stuck at boot screen", do you mean the screen before grub loads, or just after grub loads, or during the bootsplash (for ubuntu it's the purple plymouth one, I think)??
