Well... I've spent about a hour on Hulu @480p full screen (1280x800x24bit) and the temp did not go over 63c for my t2310 low end dual core cpu so I guess it's working ok for me.Not so fast:
Try it with a Hulu stream.
With the fix my Laptop is at 73c; compared to 63c on my 4.12 install.
Still better than before though.
I had a suspicion that the problem might be related to shinobar's 'acpid' package that I have in Quirky. The tweak I posted was to disable the 'acpid' daemon from starting.nooby wrote:Barry suggested a tweak for laptops here

thanks for engaging him to care about our hot laptops.
I am too lazy to test it on my three laptops, I hate their keyboards and get bewildered when the temp goes up.
But sooner or later I will change to your suggestions too. Good that we all care about it.
I replaced start_cpu_freq in /root/startup with the working one from 4.3.1. Total success.BarryK wrote:I had a suspicion that the problem might be related to shinobar's 'acpid' package that I have in Quirky.

OverDrive responded that it helped for him, but Bèèm responded that it didn't help. DaveS reported success, but I'm not sure what he did that solved it for him.
You need to have 4.3* running on your PC. Just go int you /root/ directory and open the Startup folder. In there you will find a file called start_cpu_freq. Copy it to a USB stick then start Quirky and put the file in the startup folder in Quirky. If there is already a file there with that name, delete it first.nooby wrote:Dave that is great. We all love total success.
Dare I as the resident Newbie ask how one do it?
I mean replace such things from one to the other?
I guess you use pfind and then just know which thing to delete and which to borrow from Puppy431.
On my 4.3.1 installs, that file is empty by default. Could you please post the contents of yours?DaveS wrote:You need to have 4.3* running on your PC.

I dont think so. I ran the utility in quirky and none of the modules would work, though in EVERY other Puppy they do (including Lupu). THAT is where the problem lies. Copying over a known working module file, and having it work, proves the point?rcrsn51 wrote:So is the issue with Quirky overheating just that people have not run the Utility>CPU Frequency Scaling Tool yet?DaveS wrote:I think it is generated by running the frequency cpu scaling tool?
