I had this problem too...

Manually changed fan speed as such:



#echo 1 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/pwm1_enable
#echo 70 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/pwm1

I often have a bunch of avi files in a directory that I want to convert to see on my viewty mobile. This code will create a new 'mobile' directory within the directory and convert each avi file to...

I had an overly noisy fan (d530 motherboard fans get a lot of complaints) so I manually have set my fan speed to a slower, saner, speed.

ie..

#echo 1 >...

I can do this via the command line -

ie..

#echo 1 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/pwm1_enable
#echo 100 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/pwm1

your device names might be different though,...

warning: this is dangerous. manually turning off cpu fans or slowing them down too much can fry or set fire (AMDs) to your CPU.

Works for D530 Motherboards, can't guarantee it will work for...

is anyone able to let me know if nubuilder (ie. http://nubuilder.com/nubuilderwww/index.php?nav=download ) will be in karmic?

someone might find this useful:

to encode a whole directory of .avi video files into a format suitable for mobile phones (a viewty at least), similar to 3gp, you can use this at a bash prompt:

Hi, to answer this, first - i take it you are running conky from the command line?? Otherise, you wouldn't see these messages...

Second, the errors are not fatal errors. They are notifications &...

These errors should be minor and in the background & not stop conky from working. However, I've updated the script to remove the errors.

Thanks for the bug report.

hmmmm.... are you running the /conky_start.sh script properly - rather than just running 'conky'?

If you just run conky at bootup, then compiz can get confused and think it's a window and draw a...

from what I gather, you are saying that the conky is all up and working fine but that clicking on it behaves differently from clicking on other parts of the desktop (it draws a select rectangle??)

Thanks for the comments and the 'thankses'!

As always, please let me know if you run into any bugs in the instructions above or if it isn't working for you. My first conky instructions were read...

hmmm... from a quick look, seems like it might not be seeing your 3d graphics card. Have you tried reinstalling the restricted drivers??

FOR HARDY AND IBEX. NOTE: for old Ubuntu versions, see here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205865

Conky is an powerful desktop app that posts system monitoring info onto the root...

I was plagued by this as well with Hardy.

It seems like it is a rare problem with 8.04 & I discussed it & brought it up on Launchpad bugs.

There wasn't any solution but as soon as I upgraded to...

I wonder if your CMOS is set up to shutdown/reboot if temperature gets above a certain level. So, then your computer slowly builds up temperature until the reboot, which would explain the fan also...

Thanks - I'll add your tips to the How-to

i dont know anything about compiz....

i thought someone posted a workaround several pages back, but i dont know if it works. if someone can confirm code to make compiz work, can you please post it...

i've updated the .conkyrc file, to tidy up the network interfaces section (reusing some great code someone posted above), and including a little bit of colour into the graphs.

can someone please...

yes you are right

a few weeks ago i included some code in the last line of .conkyrc that will make sure conky is on the root window every 30 seconds or so (wmctl). Just wait a few seconds and...

You probably don't need that program. I included that one in the apt-get mostly for people who want to compile conky themselves.

just try skipping that particular file and going on from there.

Yeah... its the ${execi 30 wmctrl -a conky} code... that will run every 60 seconds and make sure conky is on the root window.

hmmm... its a catch 22... if that code isn't there then sometimes...

hey is there a solution to the XGL/Compiz issue?

if there is, i'll add it to the how-to

Thanks everyone for the further followup questions and suggestions.

I've made some updates to the how-to page to add everyones ideas. In particular, i've added the instructions for XFCE.
