If you have a USB install, look on the flash drive for the file syslinux.cfg. Open it in a text editor and see if it contains the nosmp argument.

How about extlinux.cfg? Is this a flash drive? Are you booting directly off it or from some menu on your hard drive?

i searched for '*.cfg' and found 19.
i am checking them for nosmp

Your desktop has an icon for the flash drive. Click on it to open a window to the drive.Wally wrote:i searched for '*.cfg' and found 19.i am checking them for nosmp

'syslinux.config', there was no 'nosmp'
i searched for 'syslinux.cfg', nothing.
'extlinux.cfg', ditto
also used wildcards

What do people use (other than conky) to check temperatures?
Posted: Sun 29 Aug 2010, 06:54
This is a handy little temp gauge program.

My way of reducing temperature problems on a Laptop...
I built a platform for my laptop, so that it won't be sitting on a bed/lap and overheating...
This was made with a old freezer bin out of a large deep freeze and a piece of board.

Vic here ...
I remove any panels from the laptop bottom and secure components that relied on those panels.
I elevate the laptop with any mesh I have on hand, such as a grate from an oven or a closet or a bbq grille or any air free-flow device around.
A pc fan never hurts.
