Okay I have found a workaround... I logged in a Gnome session, and over there the hardware switch worked. I'm unclear why, but... it works :)

Hi,

my computer is a Dell XPS 720, Xubuntu 12.04. everything was working smoothly, until I had the bad idea to turn off bluetooth to save power since I don't use it. I clicked the tray icon,...

Ah, this command lets me set it :



echo "conservative" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor


Now down to 42-48 degrees, it's starting to get quite reasonable :)...

Ah I installed the kernel and it's a step in the right direction, definitely :) I no more need acpi=off, awesome!! :D

Now the temperature isn't that lower unfortunately; I went from 54-58 degrees...

Thanks for the answer!
Unfortunately Jupiter seems also unable to change the CPU frequency so it didn't make any difference. Now I wonder, from where did you install the kernel or did you build it...

Hi,

I installed Xubuntu 11.10 (64-bits) on my Dell XPS L702X, and most things worked out of the box (nice!).

However, I need to pass "acpi=off" to make it boot. perhaps as a consequence of...

Original poster: if you are able to merge them, please go ahead and impress me :roll:

Gnome (and XFCE i think?): gtk
KDE: Qt

Also I remember the first time I used Ubuntu, I didn't notice that "only Ubuntu supported programs" or so was checked, and I was like "duh there's so few programs" util I discovered you can change to...

I second

That standarisation attempt is a great idea. We need to see how far it goes though

I think at some point Linux will need to split in 2 groups, one for open-source fanatics that wish to remain a...

Why do all KDE programs begin with 'K'?
Why do many Gnome programs begin with 'G'?

etc. ;)

come one calm down... this discussion was about knowing whether it should be there by default, I don't think anyone said it should be forbidden to install it

Yes it is possible:


glDepthMask(GL_FALSE);

Would be damn cool, but just wait and see the flame war that will arise here and will uinderstand why it is not possible :(

I think someone with the will to learn programming will also have the will to find the docs... as someone said it's just a few clicks away

I don't think we should annoy the average user with even...

ryanVickers : cout and cin are for C++ only.

It looks like the "install build-essential" command failed because you had another admin app running (synaptic?) at the same time. Try without it running, or just install build-essential from synaptic

Anyway how would you fit that on a single CD? They're already filled to death

If you manage to do that properly you will become rich :lolflag:

no seriously, automatising port from an APi to another is nearly impossible unless they were designed to be compatible from the...

Search the forum for C/C++ IDE or something like that, you will find many.

Ok good, thanks everyone, I got it to work :) I'm still unsure I will use python very much but at least I got started correctly

Martin Witte: Yes I know globals are to be avoided, however I am not writing Photoshop CS4 but only a very small utility so it would just have been more straight-forward to use them. But I'm starting...

Hello all,

I'm a C/C++/Java/D programmer (all C-like languages) and I'm now trying to write some python code. I jave no problem grasping the syntax or stuff like that, what causes be trouble is...

You could look at gstreamer for applications. If you're making a game maybe SDL_mixer or something like that would be more appropriate (you can find docs just by googling and going on their webpage,...
