Re: Merge Tilda changes

2012-02-29 Thread Lanoxx 

Hi Martin,

thanks for the reply I have contacted the original developer on 
sourceforge and asked him to merge the patches. If he declines or does 
not answer, then I will propose to make lp:tilda the new upstream branch.


Regards
Lanoxx

Hi,

I would like to know how to contact the VCS import team? I would like to ask
for this branch of the tilda source to be merge to the upstream branch
lp:tilda at:

https://code.launchpad.net/~catoblepa/tilda/trunk/+merge/34111

There are some nice changes in this branch and I find it quite disappointing
they are just lying around for such a long time already. So is there any
chance they can be merged? And if not could some one at least leave about
what needs to be changed so the branch can get merged?


If they're in CVS, the best way to do it is probably to send a diff of
your changes (which you can download from
https://code.launchpad.net/~catoblepa/tilda/trunk/+merge/34111/+preview-diff/+files/preview.diff,
linked from that page) and send it to the upstream developers, either
to their mailing list or perhaps attaching it to an upstream bug.

If upstream is inactive, you might be better off just maintaining your
own branch on Launchpad and becoming the new maintainer.

Tangentially, it looks like that branch deletes the .cvsignore file
and so on, which might be appropriate if you're taking over the
branch, but probably not so much if you're contributing a patch to
cvs.  But that can easily be filtered out when it's applied.

We do have some ideas for improving the sending patches upstream
story in lp and hopefully they will get implemented at some point.

Regards,
Martin

cpufreqd as standard install?

2012-02-29 Thread John Moser 

Has anyone considered cpufreqd in standard install?

I have a 1.9GHz Athlon 64 X-2 with stock heat sink (recently cleaned and 
inspected) and fan (operating at 3200RPM).  Its clock rates are 1.9GHz, 
1.8GHz, and 1.0GHz.


At full load (encoding a video), it eventually reaches 80C and the 
system shuts down.


I currently have cpufreqd configured to clock to 1.8GHz at 73C, and move 
to the ondemand governor at 70C.


At 73C, the system switches from 1.9GHz to 1.8GHz.  Ten seconds later, 
it's at 70C and switches back to 1.9GHz.  41 seconds after that, it 
reaches 73C again and switches to 1.8GHz.


That means at stock frequency (1.9GHz) with stock cooling equipment, the 
CPU overheats under full load.  Clocked 0.1GHz slower than its rated 
speed, it rapidly cools.  Which is ridiculous; who designed this thing?



Besides this, it would be possible to enter power save mode on laptops 
and UPS based on battery life remaining.
