Re: [ydl-gen] Noisy fan on Power G5 and YDL 6.2

2012-11-13 Thread Robert T. Drury 




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.

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? I noticed on older posts in the
forums users have experienced similar issues in the past. From their
replies it doesn't look like there is an official fix for this issue
yet.

Re: [ydl-gen] ethernet up delays programs startup by ten seconds

2011-09-10 Thread Robert T. Drury 




Thanks for the reply, Bill.
It turns out to be a couple of network-related config issues that
cropped up only after switching LANs.

The startup delay in most application programs when network is up was
due to my /etc/hosts file being empty.
The fix was to add a line: 127.0.0.1 localhost 'hostname'
Where 'hostname' is the name given to the hostname program, minus the
quotes.

A related issue was a fifteen second delay in starting ssh that cropped
up also when I switched LANs.
The problem is seen with ssh -vvv; The solution here was to use ssh -o
GSSAPIAuthentication=no

Gnome Network Manager overwrites /etc/hosts on startup so I needed to
update the appropriate fields in there.
