Laptop dv6650br is getting so warm

2009-08-15 Thread Hashimoto
Hi,

I've the laptop hp dv6650br and it's getting so warm, when it's not
processing anything it's in more or less 59C. If I use anything like
virtualbox, or any heavy program it gets 75C or more.

Does anyone know if it's normal? Does anyone has a similar laptop with
the processor Turion 64x2 ?

Thanks !



Re: Laptop dv6650br is getting so warm

2009-08-15 Thread Hashimoto
Or better, who has a HP laptop ? What's the CPU core temperature ? Is
anything similar to mine ?

Now it's running on 65C.

Hi all,

A good news !

Now my laptop is working around 48C, but I was forced to closed the
several tabs opened. Using just one or just some few ones. 

I believe the problem is not the java/flash, the firefox doesn't work
very well with many tabs. At least now it's in a good temperature.

Thanks.

Debian needs ENTER to continue boot process

2009-03-02 Thread Rodrigo Hashimoto
Hey there,

Something very weird is happening in my OS. I just compiled the kernel
2.6.28.7 and to boot my machine I need to press ENTER many times during
the boot process. I've never seen anything similar to this issue.

It's like to run the command: 

# cat /var/log/messages|less

Then you can press ENTER to see the next line, right ? So, that's it
what is happening during the boot process.

Does anyone have any idea ??

Thanks in advance.

samba - smb.conf

Hello guys,

I have two questions, the first one is how to generate a new

And the second question is regarding the aptitude on Debian Lenny. I
tried to removed the samba with "dpkg -r samba" and reinstall it with
"aptitude install samba" to check if I get a new "smb.conf". However I
noticed the command "dpkg -r samba" didn't remove all the samba files.
So how can I remove completely a package like samba ?

Linux OS joining a domain like win ?

2009-03-12 Thread Rodrigo Hashimoto
Hello,

Is possible to a linux OS join a domain like a windows xp OS ?

I have the samba as DC for Windows XP machines, but for Linux OS, is it
possible too?

thanks


Re: samba - smb.conf

2009-03-12 Thread Rodrigo Hashimoto
Hello Roberto,

That's right, I only get a new "smb.conf" after reinstall the
"samba-common" instead of "samba".

Thanks a lot.

Resizing vfat partition with fdisk ??

2009-01-30 Thread Rodrigo Hashimoto
Hi there,

I have some troubles while resizing my vfat partition with fdisk. First it
was strange because in fdisk the partitions were fine as following:

-
*debian-lap:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Disk /dev/sdb: 4022 MB, 4022337536 bytes
29 heads, 28 sectors/track, 9675 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 812 * 512 = 415744 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x04030201

   Device Boot  Start End  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   11928  782754b  W95 FAT32
/dev/sdb219299675 3145282b  W95 FAT32
debian-lap:~#

debian-lap:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdb1

Disk /dev/sdb1: 801 MB, 801540096 bytes
29 heads, 28 sectors/track, 1927 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 812 * 512 = 415744 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x

 Device Boot  Start End  Blocks   Id  System
debian-lap:~#

debian-lap:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdb2

Disk /dev/sdb2: 3220 MB, 3220768768 bytes
29 heads, 28 sectors/track, 7747 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 812 * 512 = 415744 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x

 Device Boot  Start End  Blocks   Id  System
debian-lap:~# *
-

But the system was recognizing a different size like:

-
*debian-lap:~# df -h /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2
FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 3.8G  395M  3.4G  11% /media/disk
/dev/sdb2 3.0G  4.0K  3.0G   1% /mnt/flash
debian-lap:~# *
-

After I tried to fix it using the gparted (but my goal is to do that using
fdisk tool) and now the number of cylinders seems decreased from 9675 to
489, look:

-
*debian-lap:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Disk /dev/sdb: 4022 MB, 4022337536 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 489 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x04030201

   Device Boot  Start End  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *   1 489 3927861b  W95 FAT32
debian-lap:~# *
-

Any idea ?

Thanks.

Yes, there's data but if I loose it no problem, I'm using my usb flash drive
to test this partition resize.

Yes, it's a USB disc and I tried to unplug and replug.

testdisk tool seems found a bad sector, is it ??

2009-02-02 Thread Rodrigo Hashimoto
Hi there,

Please I'd like to confirm if it's really a bad news.

I ran testdisk tool on my external disk and it seems there's a bad sector,
look:

---
*TestDisk 6.9, Data Recovery Utility, February 2008
Christophe GRENIER 
http://www.cgsecurity.org

Disk /dev/sdb - 500 GB / 465 GiB - CHS 60801 255 63
Current partition structure:
 Partition  StartEndSize in sectors

 1 P FAT32 LBA0   1  1 60800 254 63  976768002 [My Passport]

Bad sector count.**
No partition is bootable










*=Primary bootable  P=Primary  L=Logical  E=Extended  D=Deleted
[Quick Search]  [ Backup ]
Try to locate partition*

Am I right ??  Is there a bad sector ?

Thanks.
