Fedora16 and Tecra M4
by Steven Grunza 09 May '12

09 May '12

Hello, I have a Toshiba Tecra M4. It works well under Fedora 16 except that the fan is constantly on at high speed now. I don't know if it's because of something I've loaded, a setting I've modified, etc. If I add the option "acpi=off" to the boot command then the fan stays at a reasonable rate. Unfortunately this also slows down the CPU. My guess is that the CPU speed information is contained within the ACPI interface. Does anyone have experience with controlling the fan on a Toshiba Tecra M4? I didn't always have this problem so it's either something I changed or something that was changed by an update somewhere along the way. Since I run the machine in various temperature environments and with different loads I thought the problem was just the CPU running hot but booting into a SLAX off USB showed the machine running normal - fan running slow, occasional speed up, then back to slow. Any help, pointers, etc appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------- Steven Grunza Products Engineer CTDI | Products Division 1373 Enterprise Dr. West Chester, PA 19380 phone: 610-793-8527 e-mail: sgrunza(a)ctdi.com <mailto:jhomsey@ctdi.com|>

Bluetooth PAN not 'connecting'; [Alert: using F13 & F14]
by Ron Leach 06 May '12

06 May '12

List, good morning, Experiencing difficulty in connecting from a netbook to a mobile phone using Bluetooth PAN. And may I say - up front - before people waste time they cannot spare, the netbooks are running F13 and F14; I do realise these are out of date and I understand if folks choose not to reply - if at all - in anything other than fairly general terms. Objective is to connect to internet through a mobile phone using PAN connection over Bluetooth. Bluetooth - generally - is working on both netbooks, ie, under F13 and F14. Previously used Bluetooth in 'Dial Up Networking' style of connection which has worked fine. (The phone and Bluetooth works in PAN mode with this netbook (and with other devices) using different OS, so the mobile side is - probably - ok.) Network Manager sees the phone, and lists (on its menu) it as a device that it could 'connect' to; everything seems to be 'paired' properly. (During pairing, I selected the 'connect using PAN' checkbox - I imagine this is 'how' Network Manager 'knows' that the device is connectable-to.) When I click the NM menu item to connect to this phone, one or two seconds later the netbook reports - in a pop-up message - that the network connection has been 'disconnected'. On the phone, the Bluetooth icon changes from idle to 'connected', then a second or so later reverts to idle, so some kind of communication attempt is being made from the netbook to the phone, but the PAN connection is not stabilising. Honestly, the best advice I could hope for - if anyone can help - is to advise where I could find a log just to see what's going on. I'm pretty sure that once I have a clue from the log, there'll be various posts in various places where people have encountered this before, and solved it; initial searches haven't thrown anything up for me and I need to search using more specific keywords, I think. I'm also wondering whether some base configuration information is missing from a file in /etc/bluetooth. On the F14 netbook, there are only two conf files: main.conf rfcomm.conf and neither contain entries describing the PAN service. Thanks for reading this; I wouldn't expect anyone to recall what the F13/F14 Bluetooth configurations were, but if anyone could point me towards a log file that might show what didn't work, I'd be very grateful, regards, Ron
