    [ubuntu] Re: SERIOUS laptop overheating and shutdown

    You can tell cpufrequtils to never scale up by running it on "powersave" instead of "conservative" or "ondemand". That might fix it.

    See what the system thinks about the battery:

    What it is connected with, PCI, USB, etc.?

    Try lspci -nn for PCI, and lsusb to took at devices in those busses. If that doesn't work, try sudo lshw.
  11. [SOLVED] Re: copying files via samba kills all networking to server

    The NFS filesystem will "lock things up" because the VFS (file system layer) will block all disk access to the volume while waiting on a request.

    [ubuntu] Re: New User: How to block ports

    You can write a rule to block ports 6881 to 6889 in a firewall (such as Firestarter).

    Not an iPod expert, but it looks like you're missing headers for glibc ("stdio.h not found"). Either that, or your path is not set correctly.
