As long as you've found something you are happy with that's the main thing. People used to desktop processor temps often freak out when they see some laptop temps. Temps well above anything that would fry a typical desktop processor are not unusual. Like I said your chip itself won't really panic un...

Re: Fan does not turn on - Precise 5.7.1 - HP Compaq nx6120
Thank you guys for the replies. It is very nice to count on this community. I'll monitor the points that you highlighted. A BIOS update will also be fine. Only once the laptop reached 100º Celsius (212º F) and the fan still was not triggered, that's why I decided to post the issue here. But most of...

Meanwhile, Precise in its current state of development can be used until 2017 because Ubuntu will be updating packages until then. It can be used forever. It's not like your Precise install is going to self-destruct in 2017. For me, the more pertinent question is what the community will do about Pr...

It already runs Linux. Android runs on top of Linux. You can root the device and get shell access (using apps available in Play Store for rooted phones) if you want. You could then build up the minimal linux system by adding more ARM binaries. Busybox for Android will get you started once you have r...

The fan in a Compaq nx6120 is not supposed to run constantly. It should not normally be running after leaving the bios from a cold boot. If the fan is running constantly in one of these laptops when cpu is idle then there is something wrong. Some bios/motherboards spin the fan up during startup but ...

Re: raring puppy
Thanks, Raring Puppy worked out great. By the way, is there anyway to get the right touch pad button to work like a right button click? Menu=>Desktop>flSynclient allows you to configure a Synaptics touchpad. Normally though I'd expect the right click to work by default. I tend to use two finger tap...

Re: raring puppy
I noticed Raring is listed as version 3.9, whereas Precise is listed as 5.7. Does that mean Raring is a much older version? Just edited my previous post to make that clear but I was Just too late. Here's your answer. Btw, don't be put off by the 3.9.9.2 version number. It's built on top of 3.9.9 Li...

I've had a go at getting Moonlight running in Precise Puppy. Managed to get Moonlight 2 to work with latest Firefox (seems it no longer blocks it) but it is not able to display the Ryan Air app because it needs a later version. Eventually found a copy of Moonlight 4 and tried that. Plugin installs b...

hey Hogweed, I've got the latest java (1.7.0) which should be good enough to run this website, however its still not downloading/running for me here As I said above you cannot play a Silverlight application with Java. It will never ever work. Also Java 1.7.0 is old and dangerous. Latest version ide...

To get the official full package go to https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp If there's a PET or SFS for the latest version then you can use that but I don't think there is yet. And download the Linux RPM version then just click on it and let Puppy install it. You will then have to link the pl...

I did have Moonlight (Linux variant of Silverlight) working on Lupu. Worked well for all but encrypted streams which it didn't support. Then Firefox disabled the plugin as not compatible. I used a Firefox addon to over-ride the version checking and it again worked. Then Firefox blacklisted the versi...

As a general point, a laptop should not really shutdown due to overheating even if it is running flat out. I'd think of checking the fan and air pathways even if you can get it to run more efficiently. Also, even without dynamic downclocking, the cpu should be in a relatively low power mode when in ...
