running linux stable a not??

not really..just asking for more info

Yea it does but installing it quite a pain in the butt. You can try check this guy post.

I personally disabled AMD gpu with vgaswitcheroo and only use Intel HD. Less heat and more battery life.

Oh.

i left the nb on for the whole day while idle in linux, the processor seems to be running at full speed with my fan spinning max and the heat is generating quite alot as compare when i leave it idle in win7. any software to dynamically adjust the processor power in debian base linux?

Have u set CPU governor to OnDemand?

The AMD GPU ran at fullspeed eventho it's not in use.. open Terminal and type this.

What is the result u get?

when im switch to AMD,did it ran at full speed?that is why both of my cpu+VGA temp goes up eventho im not playing game..how to open terminal?

nope...havent do that yet.

This is in Linux system.. not Windows. In windows, the clock will change to 100/150 when the GPU is idling. You can check with MSI Afterburner.


Type


If you want to do this on every boot, add these line in to /etc/rc.local.

eventho the clock says 100 and 150,why my idle temp around 56? >. <

My idle temp around 55c too with AMD GPU enabled.

ic..my CPU temp oso 51-54 when idle wif AMD GPU enabled..
why they like each other so much?

when using intel,CPU temp sure decrease 1..

Because the CPU and GPU shared the same cooling system. The GPU generate heat when it's enabled.. that heat will be distributed along the heat pipes. When u disabled AMD GPU, there is no heat generated hence lower temp..

Hello SIFU-S I need some advice here~ I plan to get dv6-6c12tx model (RM3999 from HP web). Here's some questions:-

a) I wanna get plus on "HP 3 Year Return to Depot Service for HP brand/Presario/Pavilion Notebook" (RM199 from HP web) but will it cover internationally ?

b) reco me some trusted n honest reseller w great deal in lowyat.net that willing to COD with me in Johor.

As for me current location :- working in Singapore.

a) nope it doesnt cover internationally...

if i were u... i would get your laptop from singapore as singapore extended warranty covers pick up services as well... =D i think singapore warranty are much better than malaysia warranty... especially if you buy during those comex fair... the laptop is even cheaper i believe...

here is something to share with for ppl using linux and yes!4g GO devices.

dl:
32bit - http://links.fikri.my/yes4g32bit
64bit - http://links.fikri.my/yes4g64bit

To install this, you need to run as super user. Navigate your terminal to this readme folder.

$ cd YOUR/PATH/TO/Yes\ Installer\ x86/ OR cd YOUR/PATH/TO/Yes\ Installer\ x64/
$ sudo ./install
[sudo] password for $USERNAME:

Then the installation will begin. Please connect to the internet before you proceed. After the installation is finished, you can connect to the internet using Yes Go using this command in terminal.

$ sudo connect4g start
[sudo] password for $USERNAME

Then you can connect with your Yes ID and Password. You can always close your terminal after the connection has established as it runs as background process. To disconnect from Yes, simply type:

$ sudo connect4g stop

Then you will be disconnected from Yes. This is the function that you can use with this application:

sudo connect4g -h : Help page
sudo connect4g –help : Help page
sudo connect4g start : Start Yes Connect
sudo connect4g stop : Stop Yes Connect

There is a slim 65 watts adapter.


i don't know about gnome 3 but on the old gnome 2 you can simply restart it by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
Another method is by switching to TTY by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F4/F5/F6(not sure if i remember this correctly) and run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart. To go back just press Ctrl+Alt+F7.

What is you proc speed when u run sudo cpufreq-info in Terminal?


HP standard warranty for their products not 1 year by default?
