Hey all,

I've recently done an upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04.1. Among other problems, I'm also experiencing high CPU temperatures, which I thought could be fixed by running fancontrol, but I'm not...

Hey guys,

I'm also trying to enable multi-touch on an Acer Aspire 5536G which I think has an Alps pointing device, even though sudo tpconfig -i reports:

No ideas at all?

Bump.

I've been having some troubles playing videos recently. I'm not quite sure what the problem could be, but some green artifacts are showing all over video(see attached image). I'm guessing this is...

Also, the latest driver for x1300/1550 is no longer compatible with latest kernel. I don't actually want ati proprietary driver, open source one is good enough, but is not working either.

So, no...

My bad, these two adapters that are present, that is ok, because this card's got both DVI and D-SUB.

As of today my 10.04 installation of Ubuntu is not using fglrx ati driver, but uses vga16fb instead. Don't know what was the cause of this, but I've tried pretty much everything I could think of to...

Thank you for the tip, I'll most definitely give it a go! :)

Ah ok... Makes sense. Well, thanks for the help. I'll give this article a look, maybe it shed's more light on the matter.

These are the values of free with high iowait:

I was looking at iotop output while Eclipse was doing it's DLTK indexing and other initializations, DISK READ was at times 15MB/s and over. Don't know if this is normal, but seems pretty high.

Well, not that many processes that can be eliminated. As I said this is a developer machine, and I need a lot of programs/processes running at the same time: Apache web server, eclipse, mail server,...

Just to throw in some numbers:


hdparm -tT /dev/sda

Hey blueridgedog,

Thanks for the reply, but I'm afraid that these pointers, though make sense, are not going to help me, since this is my work machine and I'm afraid I won't be getting a new disk...

Hey all,

I'm experiencing pretty high iowaits while running a developer lamp and eclipse on 10.04. The culprits are, judging by iotop, eclipse and apache2, but mostly eclipse, doing it's DLTK...

Apparently, some people had this problem with the testing version of Lucid: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1458707

I've been trying to copy some files from my old(WinXP) to my new machine(Lucid), using the external hdd rack, inside of which is a Seagate Barracuda 7200, 200GB. The disk is not recognized at all on...

Hey mc4man,

Found out what the problem was. As it turned out, I selected the repositories hosted in the country I'm coming from (Serbia), and it appears that the hosted packages are not the...

Okay, will try it as soon as I get back home, not at my laptop right now. Thanks for the help. I'll report on how it went.

This is what shows when trying to install jackd manually through gdebi

Well, libjack0 is at 0.118+svn3796-1ubuntu2, which is the latest version reported by synaptic, while jackd is at 0.116.1-4ubuntu2. Which seems to be the cause of the problem. Did an apt-get update...

Well, I first spotted this when trying to install ubuntu studio, but upon further investigation it seems that the problem is with jackd. So it's not strictly related to ubuntu studio.
