Re: Debian CPU heating up no apparent cpu activity

The fan does not run and CPU remains cool when used with the SSD based USB device but CPU was only heating when using with USB-SD card based OS. So this is NOT a hardware issue The problem is that mine is a hybrid nvidia-optimus (bumblebee). Now, I had disabled nouveau (modprobe.d blacklisted) which caused (I guess IMHO) the GPU to be switched off thus offloading all tasks to the CPU. The moment I loaded nouveau GPU got enabled and the good nice neighbour to CPU started helping CPU. Now my CPU is nicely running at 55-60C as expected. I can hear the fans spinning down the instant nouveau is loaded !!! So the driver was not disabled when you tried on SSD? If the purpose was to identify the cause for a problem, then why would you enable a driver on SSD and disable it on SD; instead of keeping it either enabled or disabled on both? You would keep the system on SSD the same as it was on SD, so that the only difference would be the device the OS is running on, which would help narrow down the problem and identify it's relevance to storage device used...

Debian is (at least) one of the best GNU/Linux distributions to use if you want to experience the excitement of discovering the real Linux /Unix stuff behind the GUI. Otherwise; Debian again is one of the best distros considering stability and freedom. I'm not sure that stability and freedom were inside the novice part I'm not sure what you mean here... Okay, I'll explain. I wanted to say that when you are a linux newbie (we all have been there) your main concern is not focused in freedom or stability but understanding how all that stuff works and how can do what you need with the less problems, if possible. As times goes by, you start putting attention in other things, like the package manager, upgrading procedures and/or what the community of your chosen distribution provides :-) Both freedom and stability are still good things to have while going thru the newbie stage. Ending up learning a good distro at the end of the stage mentioned is also an important thing. And to be sincere, having used openSUSE during 6 years (in both, servers and desktop/workstation computers) I find openSUSE to be the perfect distribution for linux beginners and newcomers. OpenSuse can be as stable as well, but the main perfection with Suse is being able to get almost everything done in the GUI mainly using YAST, which is a good thing. However but anyway, openSUSE is also stable (rock solid) and cares about your freedom ;-) I have no objection to any other distribution in this matter; that's why I said ...(at least) one of the best GNU/Linux distributions But don't forget that OpenSuse is a testing environment for SLES, same way Fedora is for RHEL. Well; this doesn't mean they are bad distros, but a fact is still a fact:) And you are right: openSUSE is the base (testing lab) for the paid SuSE Linux flavours (SLED and SLES). And this (being the testing lab) has pros and cons: As cons I'd say that more than often decisions affecting the system are taken based on the upstream needing (SLED and SLES). This happened with ZENworks/libzipp, which had to be finally retired completely from the openSUSE distribution (the community based distro) while is still being used on the SLED/SLES side. It was a total disaster and we had to supported for a long time :-/ As pros I'd say that openSUSE is an enterpise-grade focused distribution, solid as a rock, very well polished in many aspects (and not only visually but technically, their YaST tool is unique among its species), and you have a set of tools that are not available for any other distribution in the same convenient way it is there: you can manage LDAP, Samba, iSCSI, AppArmor, Cyrus+Postfix combo, Bind9, almost all your hardware, tweaking kernel parameters... and all that run from easy GUI based wizards, with a pair of clicks, perfect for novices. However; perfection for a novice is not just to find another OS or GNU/Linux distribution using which they can do everything on a stable GUI. What eventually is more important is the scene behind the GUI. I have to admit that GUI helps a novice get things configured and work rather quickly and easily, but by achieving the same result the hard way, which takes more time; a novice can end up with real-world experiments. This is when the objective accomplished when the matter is learning Linux; even for a regular user...

I'm not sure that stability and freedom were inside the novice part I'm not sure what you mean here... but anyway, openSUSE is also stable (rock solid) and cares about your freedom ;-) I have no objection to any other distribution in this matter; that's why I said ...(at least) one of the best GNU/Linux distributions But don't forget that OpenSuse is a testing environment for SLES, same way Fedora is for RHEL.

Re: debian sensible browser help

Is this correct? Has anyone any idea how I can get the driver? Web searching has not been fruitful so far. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks to all. Hi Rob, /dev/ptmx has nothing to do with the camera; it is used for pseudo-terminals. Try loading the modules videodev, uvcvideo and v4l1_compat manually, and then run file /dev/video0 to see if the video device is registered. You can also see this in /var/log/messages after loading the modules. Regards, Burhan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
