My script basically does what cpufreqd would do for me,
manually writing to /sys/devices/system/cpu*/cpufreq/.
In vimb i use,
:set scripts=off
which works also to disable javascript, but it's not selective.
I've isolated which line of my script that removes the high pitched noise.
The line,
# rmmod uhci_hcd #disable module uhci_hcd
which is the kernel module for USB 1.1 support, right?
That line disables the module and with it the noise. However, USB 1.1 devices
won't work without it.
I've tested
Canned air is probably fine as long as you make sure it's dry. You should
consider doing the build on another machine. (I don't know how.)
Is the package cpufrequtils installed by default on Trisquel 7?
hey, i've been continously searching for a solution to the heat problem.
it seems that playing music, watching videos, visiting websites that uses
alot javascript, makes the
temperature of 1 CPU core to rise dramatically, while the other core remain
~constant in temperature.
i've always had a
Here's some random thoughts on overheating.
One bandaid might be the cpufreqd package. It allows you to monkey with cpu
freq depending on circumstances like temperature, cpu usage and running
programs. The manual page for cpufreqd.conf will get you started.
Physically removing dust helps
This is a problem with my X60 too. I repasted the heatsink and all I use it
for is text based things and music. I should not get as hot as it does. It
burns my hand to type and I have to carry around an external keyboard and
mouse with my laptop because it's too hot too touch.
this rely should not happen
have you removed the intel wifi card?
also when did the machine start doing this?
as i could just be a hardware problem
I forgot to mention,
look in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/
interesting files are,
scaling_governor
#do $ cat scaling_available_governors
#to figure out which governors you can use
#you must also load the equivalent kernel module
#ie,
Hey, I had the same problem. Here's how I solved it.
First, the annoying high pithced sound emitting from the motherboard?
https://github.com/fenrus75/powertop
Download and Compile it, only if apt-get's version ain't got the
'--auto-tune' option.
First issue,
$ powertop --calibrate #and
Hey thank you very much, i was having the same overheating issue with my
x60/Trisquel7 and after searching for a solution in a while i did not find
one until i stumble with this post and saw your feedback,take out the wifi
card not compatible with software libre and that's it!, now i have my
No hums,buzz noises with a fresh install of Trisquel 6.
I'm gonna try to install Trisquel 7 and try to fix it following this:
http://www.libreboot.org/docs/misc/index.html#trisquel7_powertop
tomlukeywood you're right,it was because of lvm partitioning.I've installed
Trisquel 7 in text mode successfully.
Now i have another issue:
The X60 is costantly beeping but at lower volume than the louder beep of a
bios error code.
I'm almost sure that is not a:
Ram issue(because i've
btw i also had this problem and its not a infinite loop you just have to wait
like 4 minits for it to start up
this has happened to me before
are you using lvm partitioning? as
this seemed to be the problem for me
Did i messed up something flashing Libreboot?
as you can boot i think not
what error did grub give you when you tried to boot to trisquel 7 and failed?
Grub didn't find the os,i don't remember correcly but is kind of:
./vmlinuz...
no os found
what about if i phisically remove the wifi card?
i'm currently running a ethernet cable so i don't need wifi until i buy an
Atheros card.
I've removed the mini PCI WiFi card and the temperatures went down to 66 and
41^C
and the fan speed to 2800 rpm.
Thank you very much for your help morenlarsen.
I had a similar problem, it was caused by the wifi driver attempting to load
firmware in an infinite loop.
I've tried to install Trisquel 7 in text mode without notice any overheating
so it looks like the issue happens only in graphical mode.
Anyway i've got an error installing GRUB(because of libreboot i guess)and
i've skipped his installation and when i restart no OS was found.
The installation
Anyway seems that i have a problem even on the Trisquel 6.
The CPU fan is quite noisy(3658 rpm)and never slow down.
Temperatures(checked with xsendors) are 79^C and 53^C.
Sometimes i even notice some latency scrolling on the browser or closing some
tabs.
Did i messed up something flashing
