My notebook has a habit of getting hot, and Centos just shuts down. Just did it again: Jul 15 01:35:12 nc4010 kernel: ACPI: Critical trip point Jul 15 01:35:12 nc4010 kernel: Critical temperature reached (113 C), shutting down.

At: http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/05/24/1716222 are instructions for implementing suspend mode on a Linux notebook, but the script is for Gentoo and it seems like Centos needs something else. As this puts my system REALLY fast into Suspend, but it never comes back out. Further the temp file: var/tmp/video_state.XXXXXX is empty, so something is not right. Now for my system, HP

My first notebook upgrade: I repaired my old HP nc4010 (bought a new hinge on ebay) and realized this was the perfect way to test out the upgrade to 5.2 before doing it on my production notebook. First I updated to 'current' 5.1 (by current I mean I have not synced my 5.1 local repo since building my 5.2 repo). I had not used my nc4010 for a while and the kernel was at

Hi List, Just loaded our favorite OS onto my new ASUS laptop. Practically everything worked out of the box - I used the live DVD to check things out and installed from there. I have followed http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus-gaming-notebook-forum/553474-g73-asus-wmi-linux-driver-i-need-your-help-6.html to get suspend working and also to get function keys working for LCD screen backlight

So right now I have installed k3b on this notebook. I am using my Storix DVD/CDRW usb drive. I can read cds with it. Cannot burn CDs. First k3b suggests slowing down (from 8x to 4x). Then use TAO. Then it gave up. So I try cdrecord directly. -checkdrive finds some interesting things. Got to close the drive manually; cdrecord says it can't. then try a cdrecord -v dev=dev/scd0 sample.iso

I just installed Centos 5 for my notebook (HP compaq nc4010) on a separate drive (than this one that has Centos 4.5). When I first booted after all the setup, X did not start. hmm. Rebooted, and X came up fine. I did a bunch of customizing and upgraded the kernel Rebooted, X did not start. Rebooted X started fine. I checked some things out then tried the Suspend feature. Not

Hi! I've a toshiba satellite notebook, and I tried to install centos 5.6. The installer starts, but when it turns to graphical mode, the backlight goes off. I see the windows, buttons, but it's very dark, maybe the backlight switching off.. How can I get the installer to work correctly? The machine details: core i3 330m (The graphics controller maybe integrated to the cpu...) it's

Changes at my day job (we have a big merger being finalized), has me in the market for a new laptop. They may require me to only run the approved XP build on the system they provide. I do not know if they will fund another unit for me or not, so I am looking to go cheap. Here is what I am looking for: Runs Centos (duh!) Supports Suspend to memory as well as to disk. Bootable from

Hi, Environment: I am using CentOS 5.3 operating system. I upgraded xorg of centos to 7.3. I am using intel 945 GM board. My xorg server version is 1.4.2 and inetl driver version 2.4.3. gnome-screensaver version is 2.16.1-8.el5. Problem: I connected another system of same hardware using VGA output. Now I can see clone of my system on secondary display. I enabled screensaver with 1 minute period

I am trying to get JPilot working. I have configed gnome-pilot-applet, but it is not talking to the USB connected Treo650. My Treo has my name as the user, so from the applet, I see also a userid (my UID on this system it seems). I try to put that on the Treo and nothing happens. I have enabled the Backup Conduit. I am using /dev/pilot, which shows up when my Treo is connected via its USB

Hi Friends, I am trying to configure screensavers settings on Gnome and KDE running Centos 5.x 32-bit environment. I need to prepare a script which will be push by Puppet and this script should be able to change settings like idle_delay, set customized password-protected screen saver, enabling lock etc.. I have tried below commands for Gnome and somehow the settings are not taking place. The

Hi! Winbind is rather suboptimally reacts to networking changes. I use my notebook in at least 3 different network settings, in one of them I have very probabilistic access to DCs (cisco vpn client is a crap). An nss lookup sometimes takes very looong, sometimes even returns failure. Sometimes I have to login as root and restart winbind to get to my X session past the screensaver. This is far
