Linux Nvidia drivers might also have the GPU fan speed issue

Written on March 6th, 2010 at 22:05 pm by shredder12

Just read a mail from Alberto Milone, where he mentions the warning issued by NVIDIA that the drivers 195.36.08 and 195.36.03 might be affected by the same GPU fan speed issues which were detected earlier in the windows drivers. You might not face any troubles with it but there have been a few reports so its better to be careful. The problem might take a while to resolve, so its better to take the measures suggested by Nvidia and Alberto Milone(for Ubuntu). Here I have discussed those measures.

Hook for catching X.Org freezes in Ubuntu

Written on February 23rd, 2010 at 00:46 am by shredder12

If there will ever be a polling for the worst Ubuntu bugs, X.Org freezes would no doubt be one of the most notorious. Ubuntu developers have created a lot of special procedures to let a user gather useful data during such freezes to help debug the issues. But these methods have always been a little technical and hence not really popular among the users. Starting from the next release of Ubuntu, Lucid Lynx, the system will automatically fetch the required information and file the bug when such freezes occur.
