Re: [ydl-gen] Noisy fan on Power G5 and YDL 6.2
He mentioned that it's a Power G5 1.8GHz which would be a G5 desktop, not a PowerBook. I don't recall if fan speed control was ever fully functional on the G5 tower. IIRC only Apple portables had power management facilities in the kernel. -Hal Am 13.11.2012 14:42 schrieb Robert T. Drury rtdr...@earthlink.net: ** I gained control of the fan but there was nothing really I could do with that except smooth out the fan start/stop, which really wasn't enough. You need the fan to run as set at the factory to control the temperature, so if the fan is too loud, look for replacement fans that are quieter. I'm very puzzled as to why Apple chose to put noisy fans in the powerbooks. Dimitar Georgievski wrote: Hi, I just installed YDL on my Power G5 1.8 GHz and the fan is out of control. It produces so much noise that after couple of minutes I have to shut down the computer. Is there any fix for this issue?

Re: [ydl-gen] Question on 15 Powerbook G4 1.67ghz (Powerbook 5,8)
Hello Pat, I previously owned a 15 PowerBook 5,8. I don't recall whether I had any issues with Ekiga or not, but I can tell you that Totem was a royal pain. [WARNING: Opinionated sentence] Personally, I think Totem is the *worst* media software out there and it should die. I would recommend gMplayer, VLC, or Audacious as replacements for Totem. As for sound in general on my PowerBook 5,8, it functioned perfectly. :-) -Hal Pat Wall wrote: Hi All I am thinking of buying a Powerbook 5,8 G4 15 to run YDL on the move. This is the last PB G4 made with hi-res display and I note in the Supported Hardware section of Fixstars website that there is an audio issue reported by an end user: * *Apple PowerBook 15 1.67GHz G4, 2005-06 1. /Notes:/ On the last shipping model of this product, an end user has shared that audio fails under certain configurations of Totem; Ekiga does not function. I was wondering if anyone has one of these powerbooks and have they been able to get around the issue with audio or would is it best to look for the Powerbook 5,6 instead? Thanks in advance!
