After success upgrading to Karmic on my PC, now it’s turn to upgrade my wife’s netbook which is HP Mininote 1016. Before upgrading, this netbook using Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex as it’s OS, and everything work out of the box. However after upgrading to Karmic, I found problems related to Broadcom Wireless driver, it doesn’t working! Then I search on Google and found the solutions, here is how:

Offline Mode [in case you can’t connect using wired connection]:

• Open Synaptic Pacakage Manager
• Make sure 9.10 LiveCd is in CD drive
• Go to Settings > Repositories > Ubuntu Software
• Check the installable from cd and close
• Reload
• Search for “bcmwl-kernel-source”
• Mark for installation
• Apply
• Reboot computer

Online Mode [You can connect to internet whether using wired or other wireless device]:

• Open Synaptic Package Manager
• Search for  “bcmwl-kernel-source”
• Mark for installation
• Apply
• Reboot your computer

I’m using the second option [Online Mode] because I’m able to connect to the internet using my SMC USB Wireless Card.

You should now see your Google Earth 5.0 right into your desktop. Your Google Earth 5.0 was located in Applications \\ Internet \\ Google Earth. And here is my screenshot:

First of all, I’m not OC-ers nor OC fans, I’m just ordinary Ubuntu users. I just want to share that overclocking your PC via Ubuntu can be done easily, and I’m sure in the futures there will more and more tools and features which can suits Ubuntu OC-ers needs and wants. Ok, here we go […]

First of all, I’m not OC-ers nor OC fans, I’m just ordinary Ubuntu users. I just want to share that overclocking your PC via Ubuntu can be done easily, and I’m sure in the futures there will more and more tools and features which can suits Ubuntu OC-ers needs and wants. Ok, here we go what I’ve done so far:

Install Nvidia Clock (I’m using nvidia graphics card)

What is Nvidia Clock? 

NVClock is a small utility that allows users to overclock NVIDIA based video cards running on the Linux platform. The original code used in building this application was borrowed from the nvcs application. That code has been extensively reworked in order to make the utility much more user friendly and to make it play nice with current distros and drivers. (taken via Nvclock homepage).

Here is the install command:

sudo apt-get install nvclock-gtk

Run the apps  (via terminal or Alt+F2)

nvclock_gtk

Now, you can change the parameters, such as GPU clock and Memory Clock. Here is my nvclock_gtk screenshot:

Install PerlMon - CPU-Z Like Program in Ubuntu Linux

get PerlMon (Deb Package) from here. Unzip then install them by double-clicking the file. Run PerlMon from Applications - System Tools - PerlMon. Here is the screenshot of mine:

Note that the deb package is PerlMon version 0.1.2, update your PerlMon by downloading the latest package (PerlMon 0.2.0 when this article written) here. Then install them by typing this command on your terminal:

cd /path/PerlMon-0.2.0
sudo perl Installer

Ok, that’s two most popular tools recommended by many linuxers if you want to overclock your Linux especially Ubuntu. I will add more if I found some interesting tools in the future. Happy overclocking!

Update! (I’ll update this page once I found good tools related to overclocking in Linux environment).

Another tools (I haven’t try it)

• CPU-Burn

CPU Burn-in v1.01 by Michal Mienik is the ultimate stability testing tool for overclockers.   The program heats up any x86 CPU to the maximum possible operating temperature that is achievable by using ordinary software.  This allows the user to adjust the CPU speed up to the practical maximum while still being sure that stability is achieved even under the most stressful conditions. The program continuously monitors for erroneous calculations and errors ensuring the CPU does not generate errors during calculations performed under overclocking conditions.

Many peoples today looking for Eclampsia, what is eclampsia really? Here is a quote from Wiki:

Eclampsia, an acute and life-threatening complication of pregnancy, is characterized by the appearance of tonic-clonic seizures in a patient who had developed preeclampsia; rarely does eclampsia occur without preceding preeclamptic symptoms. Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy and toxemia of pregnancy are terms used to encompass both preeclampsia and eclampsia. Seizures and coma that happen during pregnancy but are due to preexisting or organic brain disorders are not eclampsia. This disease was featured in an episode of House titled “Joy to the World” which first aired on December 9, 2008.
