[Solved] No grub installed. Now laptop running a little too hot.
I had fedora and crunchbang already running on my laptop so I had't installed grub. Now my laptop is running little hot even after installing Laptop Mode Tools
and there is no grub in /etc or /etc/default where I can change any values. If I install now and update after changes, will it affect my existing crunchbang grub?

derhamster At first I'd thought MatLab is the culprit. But then even with only leafpad running, the laptop was too hot.

tomk : In #! forums I'd found that changing the GRUB line to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet i915.lvds_downclock=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.i915_enable_rc6=1"
made things a lot quieter. Hence I had asked.

[SOLVED] EFI grub Install problems
I know this topic has been beat to death but I cannot for the life of me figure this out.
My Config:
1 Hard Drive -- /dev/sda
/dev/sda2 is EFI Partition.
/dev/sda5 is /mnt/boot during the install
/dev/sda6 is /mnt/ during the install
PC has windows 8.1 installed and booting fine with rEFInd installed. I run through the basic arch installation and mount my /dev/sda2 to /boot/ like in the beginners guide.
I chroot and do the commands below: (from the wiki)
# mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars # ignore if already mounted
# pacman -S grub efibootmgr
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck
It installs fine, and then I run:
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
It completes as well, and im left with a EFI/arch_grub/something.efi and then a /grub folder with the config in it on my EFI partition.
When I reboot, grub completly takes over and doesnt boot anything. Just stuck at grub2>...
I have to boot off live CD and remove the EFI/arch_grub folder and the other grub folder to be able to boot windows again.
What am I doing wrong here?
Any help is appreciated....

Ok, I went back and re-done the entire thing and made sure I mounted /dev/sda5 to /boot. That left me with a /boot/EFI folder which my refind and microsoft folders are in.
Ran through the installs and everything went fine. I have a /boot/EFI/arch_grub/grubx64.efi file and a /boot/efi/grub/ folder with the grub.cfg file. No errors.
Rebooted, and same thing. reFINd no longer runs first, grub does. grub is broken because there are no kernel lines or anything.
When I reboot the PC and select the boot menu in the BIOS, I get a UEFI entry for "arch_grub" and I can select it and it boots to the broken grub.
I can select rEFInd and it will run, but not automatically like it used to.
If I remove all the arch_grub and grub folder from my EFI partition, then everything works, but of course, no arch. -
Purchased a new Official PSU Now Laptop appear to get very hot -Satelitte pro p300 1ay
Can any one help i recently Purchased a new Official PSU from Authorised Toshiba Dealer , and now the Laptop appear to get very hot particurlarly at the lower back of the screen hinge- What I want to know why is this happeing and is it damaging the laptop, as it get quite hot, unless I change the power saver mode, or dont have many web pages/ tabs open
Air flow is a major issue for all laptops. Therefore it is essential to make sure that several things are completed on a regular basis to keep your laptop running as cool as possible.
1. Make sure your air vents are free of lint and dust and your fan(s) are free of the same.
2. Use compressed canned air, spray air vents and fan(s) for 2 to 3 seconds at a time only; otherwise you may damage your hardware.
3. Open your laptop use Arctic Silver thermal compound applied to the heat sinks on the CPU.
4. Make sure your drivers for video and BIOS, chipset are all updated.
5. The other way to keep your laptop cooler is to purchase a cooling plate.
It fits under your laptop and it has 2 fans and it keeps your laptop twice to three times as cool.
It helps to draw out the hot air from within your system.
I am including an image to help show the vents.

(SOLVED) Vostro 1500: Install dellfand help
Hiya,
I've noticed my laptop getting a little too hot for my liking. It hasn't burnt me but can get uncomfortable after a while.
While using mint I installed dellfand to help with the fans but i'm having trouble using it with arch.
Below is the file i would execute to install in mint and would like help as to how to get it working in Arch.
I have managed to do makepkg but dont know where to go from there.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Andy
tar xvf dellfand-*.tar.bz2
cd dellfand*
make
sudo cp dellfand /usr/sbin
sudo cp etc.init.d.dellfand /etc/init.d/dellfand
sudo cp etc.default.dellfand /etc/default/dellfand
sudo /etc/init.d/dellfand start
sudo update-rc.d dellfand multiuser
Last edited by Andy Mack (2008-09-11 20:45:58)I have replied to your mail. But in case you missed it, here is what I did to get dellfand running on my Dell Inspiron 6400.
1. Download the tar zipped file from dellfand's site, unzip it , cd into the folder and run 'make'. This produces the executable. You have done this already.
2. As root, copy the executable to /usr/local/bin.
3. Put this line in /etc/rc.local to have it run on boot.
/usr/local/bin/dellfand 1 2 40 50 55
The above will run dellfand as a daemon( the parameter 1), with a sleep time of 2 seconds( parameter 2) with an off,low and high temperatues of 40, 50 and 55. Change the temperatures to the ones that suit you.
This alone will not bring down the temperature. I found that a default installation of Arch pegs the cpu to its highest frequency. I installed cpufrequtils, the acpi-freq driver and set the 'ondemand' governor in /etc/conf.d/cpufreq.
Read the cpufrequtils wiki for more info.
I added acpi-cpufreq to my MODULES list in rc.conf and cpufreq to my DAEMONS list.
Now my temps have come down. -

Have a very recent Lenovo Ideapad Laptop running Windows 8.1. Connected via USB port to HP LaserJet Pro CM1415 frw Color MFP Printer. Was able to print fine nearly 2 weeks ago, but something recently happened - either a new windows or office 2013 update
or perhaps I blew away a certain file by mistake. I can see the printer installed but cannot print to it from anything (Word, Notepad, IE, Firefox etc.). The one thing to note is that usually when I plug or unplug a USB related device, Windows 8.1 recognizes
this and makes a certain chime noise, but with the printer USB cable it never makes that noise - making me think that it never fully recognizes the printer. Also when I select the printer (from within the control panel) and right click for properties (via
admin rights) It never lets me fully connect to it.
I have tried all the usual remedies - remove, install all drivers, reinstall printer, Windows update, start/stop print spooler and all other printer related services, etc. Its really annoying because this printer was working fine nearly 2
weeks ago. Looking for any advice now. Thanks.
-ChrisHi Chris,
à
I have tried all the usual remedies - remove, install all drivers, reinstall printer, Windows update, start/stop print spooler and all other printer related services, etc.
I noticed that you had reinstalled the printer. Just a confirmation, when un-install this printer, please check
if this printer still exist in registry. For more details, please refer to following KB.
Registry entries for printing
If printer entry still exist in registry, please delete that printer entry and re-install this printer again,
then check if this issue still exists. (Please backup registry entries before operating registry. It will help us to avoid unexpected issue.)
àand now see
message Active Directory Domain Services is not available
By the way, would you please let me know where/when get this
Active Directory Domain Services is not available error message? Or provide a screenshot of it?
(Please hide all protected or private information) Please check if all services are running correctly on the computer. Meanwhile, please refer to following article and check if can help you.

* OP is running windows (I'm running a debian linux)
* OP is asking a more general question (how to fix?) while I'm asking for details on a proposed fix)
I'm currently running
$ lsb_release -ds

3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Mar 4 22:48:17 UTC 2012
$ iceweasel --version
Mozilla Iceweasel 13.0.1
I'd like to continue running an uplevel iceweasel ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation_software_rebranded_by_the_Debian_project which is firefox]) but apparently need to run a downlevel version in order to run a particular vendor-supplied plugin. How best to do that (i.e., with minimal performance degradation, and without affecting my package management)? Or is there another way to solve the general problem (running the F5 Network Access Plugin)? Why I ask:
My employer is giving me remote access via a SecurID token and the F5 Network Access Plugin (F5NAP). The latter is in fact a browser plugin, which seems to me an odd way to implement a VPN, but it's the only offered option. Unfortunately,
* the only browsers supported for linux are Firefox 3 and Firefox 8 (per [http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm_compatibility_matrix_10_2_1.html this]--scroll to "Linux Operating Systems")
* my primary laptop runs LMDE (see above) with Iceweasel 13 (from the mozilla.debian.net repository), which I want to keep. (It's the uplevel browser, dammit !-)
So I first tried to install the F5NAP on my iceweasel, hoping it was sufficiently like the listed versions. I browsed to my employer's site, logged in using the token, and followed the link to install the plugin. Unfortunately, that failed: the xpi began running, but then quit with the message
> F5 Network Access Plugin could not be installed because it is not compatible with Iceweasel 13.0.1
Hoping for a simple workaround, I told the often-useful User Agent Switcher plugin to emulate Firefox 8, but no fix. Hence it seems like I will hafta
* install Firefox 3 or Firefox 8
* run that downlevel browser whenever I want remote access
* run the uplevel browser for everything else
This definitely seems like a kludge, so I am open to alternatives. Meanwhile I'm wondering:
# Which of the F5-supported downlevel browsers (Firefox 3 or Firefox 8) has the smaller memory footprint?
# How to install the downlevel browser so that it does not interfere with my uplevel browser's configuration, operation, and updating via debian package management?
# How to run the downlevel browser so that its operation does not interfere with my uplevel browser? I know firefox typically wants to run singleton.@[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/160087 verdi]: thanks for your helpful suggestions. The "fix" (actually a kludge, but I gotta work with what F5 and my employer give me) was:
# Install/run latest Firefox 3 (despite there being [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932269 no 64-bit version for linux]) using [https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzDAFHgIxRzKbmJDUGZqTzhfbDg this bash scriptlet].
# Create a [https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzDAFHgIxRzKQjRyQndqUTJpRXM run script] to start firefox so that one can

I am using for Autocad my Windows HP Laptop. However i want to shift to Apple world and plan to buy new MBAir 13". Is it has enough power to install bootcamp and run Autocad?
I don't know, but I would assume that the MBA can install and can run Autocad with Boot Camp.
The question is more, can the software be effectively used with such a small display.
Audocad and vector packages such as Adobe Illustrator are typically run using large screens, so a lack of display real estate may mean the process is frustrating, even if it is possible.
I face the same thing - I am considering an MBA 13" and need to run Illustrator, and that would mean a lot of scrolling.
I think you would be advised to ensure you bought an MBA with a high specification of processor and memory to give yourself the best chance of success.
Is there a Mac version of Autocad you could switch to, to make for less complication? I've managed to shift all but one of my Windows applications to OS X now, and only occasionally use Windows on the system. -

What can I do to resolve this aggravating and frustrating Issue. Need help now ..Please
Before we get too far, please clarify this part:
I have a 2009 iMac 4,1
A 2009 iMac cannot be an iMac 4,1; they are 9,1 and higher. Did you mean to type "2006?" That would be an iMac 4,1. We need to pin down the model issue before proceeding.
It could be the drive, not the disk, that is dirty. Try a drive cleaning disk, usually about US$5-15 at home entertainment, electronics stores and office superstores -

Thanks for the reply with additional information.
Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
driver version roll back.
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thanks.

Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
later versions of Premiere Elements. -
Steve Jobs obviously was "the man" because every update or install now gives me problems... i can no longer download anything to my iphone.. giving me errors of "cannot install at this time" and i get an error installing itunes on my other laptop... wth is going on!??!
ok so the download problem with my iphone.. what could be the cause of that? ive restarted and deleted the "undownloaded app" over 10 times already. and restarted the iphone 10 times... next thing i know i cant install itunes on my laptop.... geez man..
obviously there is a fix which someone will help... but why should i have to go through all that crap to install a so called uncomplicated software... when you think about it this really shouldnt even be an issue.
normally if the thing dosent work. normally with most programs you just uninstall the uncompleted software and just reinstall and everything is usually good to go.. help!ive never had any problems with ap[ple products in the past... this is a first and a stupid problem if you ask me

Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1). I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes..." I have done this a number of times to no avail.
I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
