P100-115 linux / gpu question

Yesterday i installed suse 10.1 on my P100-115 (T2300,nvidia 7600 ). Install went smothly and everything works. But after a while i noticed that the fan on the left side never spins (i guess it is for graphics card). I tought that nvidia driver will help, so i installed. After i installed driver i could see the temp of the GPU and it was 85 C . I tried a game and it rised over 90C. I booted back to windows and the fan on the left started to blow right away with max speed so i guess it was a little hot inside :) . Now i would like to know if anyone had similar problems on linux (hope somebody else uses linux). And i also i noticed that the rear fan starts working when CPU temp reaches 65C. Is that not a little to high. Does anyone know if it is possible to check the temp of the GPU under windows. I tried few programs but they all only see CPU temp (ACPI )

I tried with the drivers toshiba provided, but there is no temperature reading. Do you know if it is safe to use drivers from nvidia website?

  • P100-240: Toshiba GPU driver is old, Nvidia driver doesn't enable the fan?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if Toshiba could explain their choice here.
    My laptop recently got sent in for repair because it burnt itself out due to me using Nvidias own drivers on my p100-240 (pspa3e).
    The problem here is that:
    a) Toshibas drivers for this card are well over a year old and sometimes buggy in new games
    b) Toshiba does not seem to have followed the Nvidia spec (that or there is a major ACPI issue in their bios...)
    so, Upon using the Nvidia drivers the laptops fan does not kick in, sending the systems temporature up to 106cand finally turning it off. It turned back on but basic graphics acceleration then failed to work.
    SO, can we get an updated driver build? OR some kind of fan control app? or can you update your bios to enable nvidias drivers to function?
    I feel like I cannot use my laptop for its purpose at the moment- I have reverted to installing a non-ACPI pc driver to force the fans to stay on which works well but then basic system functions like turn off do not work.
    I have also been advised that this design flaw could be considered to make the system "not fit for purpose" under which case I could just return the laptop under the Sale of Goods act.
    Though really, i'd just like to get my system working properly. It's bad enough not being able to run Linux on it, but even worse that windows doesnt work properly with it with official drivers.
    One final question: Can I get the older BIOSes? several fixes work with them but not with the 4.0 bios (mainly linux fixes but as long as one OS works I don't care!)
    Any tips on this are also welcome! Thanks for your help. :-)

    >was wondering if Toshiba could explain their choice here.
    If you want to hear anything from Toshiba then you have to contact them. This forum is only a user to user forum and unfortunately you will not find anyone from Toshiba here.
    But maybe you want to hear my opinion;
    >My laptop recently got sent in for repair because it burnt itself out due to me using Nvidias own drivers on my p100-240 (pspa3e).
    >a) Toshibas drivers for this card are well over a year old and sometimes buggy in new games
    Well, many Toshiba notebooks are delivered and equipped with the same graphic cards. Maybe you have to look in other notebook series which are delivered with the same card for a newer GPU driver.
    But, you are right and generally the Toshiba graphic drivers are a little bit older as the original one from GPU manufacturer.
    Why? First of all the nVidia or ATI original drivers are not designed for the notebook usage. These are drivers for desktop PC graphic cards. I visited the area for mobile drivers and found a info that I have to look on the notebook manufacturer site!!! This said everything!!!!
    >b) Toshiba does not seem to have followed the Nvidia spec (that or there is a major ACPI issue in their bios...)
    As mentioned above the original GPU drivers are not designed for the notebook usage.
    Why? Because the notebook GPUs cannot be cooled like the graphic cards for the desktop PC!!!
    The Toshiba own drivers support an overheating protection which helps to avoid an GPU damage!!!!
    The original nVidia or ATI drivers do not support such overheating protection!!!
    If you want to use such drivers, you can do this ONLY at your own risk!
    >Can I get the older BIOSes?
    It seems Toshiba page provides only the newest BIOS. Maybe the authorized service provider can help you and could send you an older BIOS version.
    Two years ago I contacted the ASP in my country and got a early version of my BIOS for the A50

  • New video editing system for AE, GPU questions

    Hi all,
    I am about to configure a new system to use mainly for After Effects CS6, and Premiere CS6. I'm experiencing some difficulties choosing the right GPU.. If any of you could take the time to answer these question for me..it would be greatly appreciated!
    - I read the GTX 7xx with Kepler structure aren't supported/CUDA cores aren't used, is this true of do they work fine?
    - Does a good video card (with 1000+ CUDA cores) only help for speeding Ray-traced 3D, or will the overall editing experience be faster as well? ('live preview' while editing 'normal video', as well as the final render?)
    - What are the critical factors to look for in a video card for editing? (GDDR RAM, Base Clock, Memory Speed, Memory Interface Width, Memory Bandwith CUDA cores) I mainly work with 1080P digital SLR video and video effects, not a huge amount of 3d texts etc.
    - If i would choose the GPU as render engine, will the work be done purely by the GPU, of will it just 'assist' the CPU?
    - So far, i think the GTX 760 would be a good option, what is your opinion about this card for AE editing? Would this be a good choice or will a GTX 6xx or GTX 580 be a much better option? My budget for the whole system (without monitor etc.) is max. 1000 euro.
    - Would buying an SSD for storing the program files and the project files, be helpful? Or won't this increase the speed in editing by too much?
    The system I have on my mind so far, recommendations and changes are very welcome..
    MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
    Intel® Core™ i7-4770K
    ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5
    GeIL 16 GB DDR3-1600 Kit
    Seagate Desktop SSHD, 2 TB
    Cooler Master B700

    The GPU acceleration for Premiere is completely different than the Ray tracer acceleration in AE. The GPU specifications along with the system ram and CPU cores/clock absolutely effect the performance of the playback in Premiere. Which means selecting the correct GPU is based on Premiere's MPE acceleration and the workflow/media used. The concept that comes into play here is processing latency. A older card with 1GB of vram and a single or dual core CPU may be able to playback a single 1080 stream by itself without any scaling. However as soon as any effects or frame alterations are added then the time it takes for the data to process at the cpu, buffer into ram, and then process through the GPU is to long to maintain the playback. The clock speed of CPU, Ram, and GPU/Vram all come into play as to how long it takes for this entire pipeline to process. The amount of threads and cores decide how much data can process at any point in time. The more layers and effects to process along with frame changes, the more data that has to be processed in any time segment required for playback. This is similar to how much water needs to go through a pipe. This can be increased by either increasing the size of the pipe or the Water pressure in the pipe by how fast the water is fed into the pipe. Both aspects have their limitations based on where the water is coming from and going to and what the conditions required are. A balance is normally required between both the size of the pipe and the amount of water/pressure sent into the pipe. However the greater the volume of water required at any time segment the greater both aspects must be increased. IE this translates over into clock speed equals water pressure and threads equal size. SSD's also have a significant aspect on processing latency. The latency of SSD drives is a fraction of mechanical drives. This means the amount of time it takes for SSD drives to handle all of the read or write requests made by the application is significantly lower. This translates into lowering the amount of time drive requests effect the overall performance of the realtime playback along with how fast files are written. Since codecs have different data rate requirements often times SSD drives are cheaper options to handle data rates that normally require significant raid setups that are expensive. SSD drives also handle far more requests simultaneously which translates to putting more operations on a single disc. This often translates into better performance with more complex timelines or compositions.
    The comments regarding GPU specifications not really having any impact are relating to AE only. This is absolutely not the case for Premiere, AME, and Speedgrade or almost any other GPU acceleration application.

  • GPU question. Nvidia GTX590, should it work?

    Hi
    A question about the Nvidia 590GTX. Is it supposed to work with the mercury engine? It's not on the supported list and when firing something like Premiere up (guess it's the same in AE) it says it can't find supported GPU and falls back to CPU only.
    I thought that the CUDA layer took care of the supported cards and worked as a layer between the application and the card but maybe the mercury engine goes beyond CUDA and has some custom stuffs to it? If so, when can we expect 590GTX support? What happens in a multi GPU system like that (since that 's a dual GPU), if i toss in a Quadro 4000 too will it work with three GPU's?
    Cheers

    > when firing something like Premiere up (guess it's the same in AE)
    The GPU features of After Effects and Premiere Pro are very separate.
    Premiere Pro uses CUDA on certain cards, not including the GTX 590. See this page for details. If you want to request that the CUDA functionality be extended to the 590, then please submit a feature request.
    After Effects uses OpenGL on any card with OpenGL 2.0, with specific features enabled depending on the capabilities of the card. See this page for details.

    Premiere Pro will only use one GPU for CUDA computation. It doesn't, for example, use SLI to use multiple GPUs.

  • Unbreakable Linux/Oracle question

    Hi,
    I set up Unbreakable Linux, and was following the instructions to evaluate Oracle RAC 10g.
    I changed my mind about setting up the RAC, I would just like to install Oracle on Unbreakable Linux. My question may sound dumb, but does anyone know if the download for Unbreakable Linux comes with Oracle 10G packages? I need to know if I need to download the Oracle 10G database for Linux, or is it already included in Unbreakable Linux download?
    Thanks,
    Zach

    I need to download the Oracle 10G database for Linux,
    or is it already included in Unbreakable Linux download?Unbreakable Linux download is the Operating System only, 10g DB is not included.

  • DNSDHCP Java Console for Linux usage question

    Hi All,
    This should be one of the simplest things, but it defeats me. I have downloaded and installed the DNSDHCP Java Console for Linux on my SLED11 workstation. I start it up and am presented with a login screen:
    Server Address: [ ] Port: [ 636 ]
    (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx)
    Username: [ ]
    (e.g. cn=admin,o=companyname)
    Password: [ ]
    [v] Use SSL
    Questions:
    Server address: is that supposed to be my OES DNS/DHCP server? Or my eDir server? I've tried each.
    Username: is that supposed to be my tree admin? I've tried it.
    Password: I think I got this one.
    SSL: I *think* my server is set up for SSL, but I'm not sure. I've tried it both ways.
    I have tried every combination except the one that works. Can anyone suggest something that I may be missing?
    Thanks,
    Toney.

    Most of the time eDir servers default to SSL, and you have to check (or uncheck) the box under the LDAP Group object to require TLS authentication (or something like that)--so if you haven't done that then non-ssl will likely not work. I have had some boxes that wont do SSL though.... In that case, non-ssl usually works for me. You can also configure the same things under iManager.

  • G505s gpu question

    I just wanted to know if it's possible to change the gpu in my laptop. It has just terrible gaming performance and has the same cpu as the MSI gx70(which performs quite like a beast). So i want to change my gpu.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    hi elton305,
    In addition to what Solid_Cruver have mentioned, by looking at the parts, the G505s's GPU is soldered on the motherboard.
      - Link to picture
    It's possible to change this GPU but you may only change it with the same part (only professional reballing service centers does this). If you wanna upgrade the GPU, you will need to also change the motherboard (which isn't really practical). 
    If the lenovo unit doesn't give decent FPS while gaming, I think it would be best to invest on a new system rather than upgrading the GPU (you may opt to keep the Lenovo unit or sell it to cover the cost of your new rig).

  • General Simple Linux Printing Questions

    So, I'm using Arch Linux with XFCE. In Ubuntu, it's relatively simple to set up printing. However, on Arch Linux, I don't know how to do it. I have a few simple questions:
    * Are all those "easy to use" printing setup GUIs just configurators/frontends for cups?
    * I have an HP printer, should I use hplip?
    * What is hplip exactly? Is it another printing system like cups? Is it a cups addon?
    * Is it easy to set up printing in Linux given that you have a pretty good printer that is "linux compatible"?

    1.) Yes, most are simply CUPS frontends.
    2.) Yes, you should.
    3.) It's a set of printer drivers for HP printers. It supports most printers and their functions.
    4.) Yes, you just need to find the correct driver for the printer and set it up using the CUPS web-gui.
         Remember, after running CUPS, you can access the interface from http://localhost:631 in a web browser.
    Thanks! I set it up for my HP and it worked great!
    However, when I run any of the hp-* tools from the command line, the copyright notice gets shown, then after a few milliseconds to a few seconds depending on which hp tool I run, another copyright notice gets shown and it freezes.

  • GT70 Dominator Pro GPU question...

    Well, this might be a stupid question, and I apologize ahead of time, I am still trying to learn computers and hopefully one day build one.  Either way, I have a GT70 Dominator Pro 2PE, running with NVidia 880M 8G GPU, was curious if this thing was able to fit and support running SLI 880M's.  I kinda want to upgrade.  I know one 880M is amazing and I run every single game i've come across on Ultra, I just want more power really.
    CPU: Intel i-7 4910MQ
    16G Kingston Ram
    256G Crucial Raid-0 SSD with 1TB HD
    ANY help would be appreciated on this matter, thank you all in advance!!  Oh and, if it is able to support SLI, would it be plug and play or is some serious config required??

    Thank you both for the replies!  They have been helpful for sure.  The main reason I did not go Alienware(I have a desktop from them) is because they were 1200.00 more for a computer with not near the spec's that I have with the MSi.  This computer is an absolute beast, as i'm sure you can see in my first post with the spec's.
    As far as SLI, maybe I will save it for the desktop that I'm going to build and just use this for on the go gaming.  Shame that MSI didn't make it so it could handle SLI.
    Random question, as new GPU's come out, will I be able to upgrade my GPU or am I stuck with this??  Also, I currently have to SSD's in Raid 0 but I've been thinking about adding the third SSD option they have on their site, would something like that be plug and play since I'm already in raid 0??
    Once again, thanks for the replies, they have been super helpful!!

  • MSI GT60 dedicated GPU question

    Hello everyone! This is my first post
    Basically i have a MSI GT60 2OC-003US, i have two questions regarding it.
    First, I just bought a 27" monitor to plug into my notebook via HDMI. Now I have heard that the dedicated GPU (Mine is the GeForce GTX 770M) is not meant to be used at all times, however, when i plug in my HDMI to the monitor, the power light goes from white to orange indicating that the dedicated card is being used. Is there any way to make it so that it uses my integrated card instead of my dedicated? I am going to have my monitor connected at all times so i don't want it to be running off of my GTX.
    And also, if i am gaming or have a monitor plugged in, and i stop gaming or unplug the monitor, the orange light should go back to being white since the dedicated gpu related programs are closed, yet it still stays orange? Wondering how i can fix that.
    Thank you lots!

    GT60 2OC outputs video signal via dedicated GPU circuit. It's the hardware design. You can't change this architecture.
    There're lots of processes using dedicated GPU out of your notices. You can go to NVIDIA Control Panel, find Desktop menu and check "Display GPU Activity Icon in Notification Area" to enable the activity window to quickly monitor which processes are using the dedicated GPU.

  • Oracle on LINUX Support question

    Hello Gurus,
    I’ve heard the rumor that Oracle will require all systems to be at the same level of support. For example, I might want to have engineering systems on network support, with enterprise systems on a mix of basic and premier support. Is this possible?
    Regards

    VENU,
    When you purchase Premier Support, all systems must be licensed for Premier Support. See also the Support Policies document (from linux.oracle.com):

    Yes, iWeb will serve your needs. You don't even need to upload them to your public folder - all you need to do is open an iWeb page and drag and drop your music files. That is just one of the many ways you can create links to your music files. You can even do a Podcast if you want and have it show up in the iTunes Store.

  • OS X Snow Leopard to Lion GPU question

    I recently updated my OS from Snow Leopard to Lion and my PCs preformance has suffered in Video Games like Diablo III and Eve Online. I have a mid 2010 Intel i7 2.66 GHz 4GB RAM. Did the OS upgrade render my GPU incompatable? There isn't a driver download on the NVIDIA site for 330mGT that is compatable with OS X Lion. Should I "downgrade" to Lion. Or is there a way to utilize the GPU? Or am I just paranoid? Any thoughts or advice? Thank you!

    I seem to have fixed the FPS and preformance problems by downloading the Gfxcard utility. Seems Lion likes to switch between HD and NVD330m. If there are any other ways to improve preformance please list them.

  • Oracle Webgate Linux Install Question

    Hello
    When trying to install the 10.1.4.3 webgate on RHEL 6, the install starts then says loading the Java Virtual machine then just stops.  There is no log or other trace files to see what is going on, it just stops.  Has anyone else had this problems?  Any help you can give would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Nick

    Hi Nick,
    Can you specify for which web server you are installing Webgate in Linux??
    Did you verified that the required GCC Libraries are installed in the Linux Servers.
    OAM WebGates are compiled with and linked to the following GCC runtime libraries, which must be present on any Linux or Solaris computer hosting 10.1.4.3 WebGates:
    Ø  Either shared libstdc++.so.5
    Ø  Or shared libstdc++.so.6
    Ø  And libgcc_s.so.1
    And also verify that the Linux Operating System is 32-bit or 64-bit and based on this JAVA JDK should be same as OS type.
    And also verify, that particularly before installing the Webgate 32-bit or 64-bit based on the Webserver type.
    Hope this helps.

  • Linux 64 question

    I have a single Oracle database running on a 64 bit Linux server and was hoping that I could use Secure Backup Express to automate my backups to tape through Enterprise Manager. Am I correct in thinking that this currently isn't possible but that a 64 bit version of the software will be available later in the year that will enable me to do this?

    No, the software isn't yet ported to Linux64. An internal Oracle site that has deployed Oracle Secure Backup is also anxious for Linux64 support and actually tried to install Oracle Secure Backup on Linux64.....as expected it didn't work properly.
