2009-11-20 Thread Jimmy Smith
Public bug reported: I believe it's the alsa-driver from reading the forums. I've reinstalled and reloaded alsa, tried changing the power save options and nothing seems to solve the problem. The noises only occur at the start up of Ubuntu and after I log in, afterwards the sound is fine. When I

This is a problem on my first generation MacBook (Core2Duo 1.83GHz). The CPU whines unless the power-saving mode is deactivated. When running Mac OS X, I installed ShhhMBP, which does the trick. Under Ubuntu I can't make it go away, even after changing power-saving modes using CPU Frequency

Public bug reported: iMac intel Core2Duo 2.16GHz. With Ubuntu Hardy installed, one or more of the fans doesn't idle, and instead spins at a high RPM. This is noisy and distracting. When running OS X on the same machine this is not a problem. I believe the rogue fan is the hard disk fan at the
