[03:21] <jthan> Okay
[03:21] <jthan> let's have a chat
[03:21] <jthan> who's awake?
[03:23] <InHisName> I am barely awake, jthan
[03:23] <jthan> Hmm
[03:28] <InHisName> so what 's  up jthan ?
[03:28] <jthan> Not much. Just seeing what everyone is up to. Any fun projectS?
[03:32] <InHisName> Study  for CCNA  - take breaks check my free money account.  Read irc, etc.
[03:33] <jthan> "free money account?"
[03:36] <InHisName> http://www.virtapay.com/r/inhisname  to check it out.   $25 to sign up & $20 / day since last check in.   Now in phase one of buy and sell digital products.  Uggh mostly junk.  Waiting for when it is floated to hard currencies.  Could be several months or more.
[03:36] <PennBot> Title: Redirect (at www.virtapay.com)
[03:36] <InHisName> Nice play money while I wait.
[11:11] <JonathanD> Morning.
[11:19] <InHisName> Mawnin' JonathanD
[11:27] <rmg51> morning you two :)
[11:28] <JonathanD> hey guys
[11:28] <InHisName> Howdy Randy  [ rmg51 ]
[11:28] <rmg51> 0/
[12:44] <jedijf> ssweeny: I want a report on the 'scope after some usage please.
[12:45] <jedijf> ssweeny: that logic thing looks great too, just don't do enough to warrant it..actually all 3 look great, but I still have not opened my last 2 packages I think i will have to defer
[13:14] <jedijf> ntr-user: hello!
[13:26] <andrew> Morning
[14:02] <teddy-dbear> morning
[14:26] <n2diy> Can someone help me throttle my cpu fan? I've found the controller with sensors-detect, and the module is loaded, but pwmconfig says it can't find any pwm devices?
[14:27] <InHisName> How many wires does your fan use in its plug to MB ?  2 = hopeless
[14:28] <n2diy> InHisName, roger that, it is a tach. fan, three wire.
[14:28] <n2diy> I can throttle it in bios, but not with the OS.
[14:28] <InHisName> OK, motherboard may have supporting control, what does it say?
[14:28] <InHisName> Oh I see
[14:29] <InHisName> Need some software that accesses the bios commands and then you'll be good to go.
[14:30] <InHisName> Hold on while I go upstairs to see fan software name on that machine.  I like it a lot supports lots fans  FOSS.
[14:30] <n2diy> InHisName, well, lm-sensors is installed.
[14:30] <n2diy> roger
[14:40] <InHisName> Well, sorry n2diy, not what I thought it was.   SpeedFan 4.34  for the OS we will not name here.
[14:41] <InHisName> Wost of all is it is read only of a LOT of stuff.  No fan adjust.   SMART drive temps, fans, etc.
[14:41] <n2diy> InHisName, ok, I'll try in asking in #ubuntu
[14:42] <InHisName> I'll poke around in my main box [ubuntu]  might be something in there.
[14:43] <InHisName> My be propriatary as I find what I have.
[14:43] <n2diy> InHisName, roger that, I'll be lurking for awhile, worst comes to worse, I'll just manually set it in bios.
[14:47] <InHisName> I think that is how I have mine set, is via bios.
[14:48] <InHisName> I know I slowed them down to just enough noise to hear that they are running.  MUCH quieter than turbo jet engine blast speeds.
[14:48] <n2diy> InHisName, roger that, this one sounds like a vacuum cleaner!
[14:50] <n2diy> No one is taking the bait in #ubuntu, so I'll probably end up doing that.
[14:50] <n2diy> Though I hate to loose my four hours of uptime. :)
[14:53] <InHisName> 4 hours is nuttin'  if you had 4,000 hours THEN I might be a smidgen sad for you.
[14:53] <InHisName> I never get that high any more, ubuntu update manager ever so often demands to be restarted.
[14:56] <n2diy> If this box had 4000 hours of uptime, it wouldn't have a tach. fan onboard. Most of my stuff is circa 1995, don't know when the sensor boards came out? And that is my big beef with X/Ubuntu, you can't tell the update manager to shut up.
[14:58] <n2diy> Well, I'm going to drop into bios, before I suffer any more hearing damage.
[14:58] <InHisName> I'm pretty sure you can tell it to shut up.  I chose not too long ago.   Many of the updates are appreciated.   At least for this box.
[14:59] <InHisName> If you had a hand held game machine that play game with NO beefs.  Then why ask for trouble with updates ?
[15:02] <teddy-dbear> you can go into settings in update manager and uncheck check for updates
[15:09] <InHisName> googling for linux seems mostly to turn up lm-sensors  for controlling things via bios from the OS.
[15:09] <InHisName> I installed lm-sensors drivers long ago but have not used them lately.
[15:10] <InHisName> I recall 11.04 told me that lm-sensors is on list of things on way out door.
[15:10] <InHisName> And I shouldn't use.
[15:11] <InHisName> Just before you logged back in, teddy-dbear said this: (10:02:10 AM) teddy-dbear: you can go into settings in update manager and uncheck check for updates
[15:11] <n2diy> InHisName, roger that, I had this setup and working, but after a power failure, it quit throttling the fan, and I haven't been able to get it working again. And very good on lm-sensor going bye bye, I came across the same thing, looks like wmsensors might be the way to go?
[15:12] <InHisName> Good to know that, as I had not heard of replacements yet.
[15:15] <n2diy> Not sure of that, but I found it in synaptic. It looks like it requires gnome to run. Just more bloat for the WM.
[15:18] <InHisName> wmSensors is a dockable (under WindowMaker, AfterStep, etc.) application  for monitoring various computer peripheral parameters (most notably,  MoBo and CPU temperature, fan rotation speed, etc) under FreeBSD.  AND --- seems to have connection to lm-sensors
[15:21] <InHisName> wmsensors is a WindowMaker applet that shows bar graphs of the information available through the lm-sensors interface  				
[15:34] <n2diy> InHisName, ok, so it does the same thing as my xfce4-sensor applet is doing.
[15:35] <InHisName> I'm still trying to find how to use it.  Just instaled    May need something called :   WindowMaker
[15:36] <InHisName> I started from terminal and 1/2" square window started.
[15:36] <InHisName> Clicking on it opens a terminal window showing all data read and displayed.
[15:37] <InHisName> Still no graphical bars etc. yet.
[15:46] <InHisName> Ok missing something ....    XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
[15:46] <InHisName>       after 8384 requests (7740 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
[16:42] <InHisName> all quiet again   I haven't learned much more on running lm/wm-sensors yet.
