all very true.

especially following application instructions and using a transfer pad.
a 'box cutter' blade works well to spread paste on heat sink. after
applying and pressing heat sink on cpu, i wiggle heat sink to help
even out.

would you presume dropping of voltage would cause a great amount of
change in a crystal's oscillation?

Authentication with finger print reader

2015-05-25 Thread Kalpa Welivitigoda
Hi,

I am using Fedora 21 with GNOME Shell 3.14.2 in a Lenovo T530 laptop.
Is there anyway that I can configure the finder print reader in the
laptop to login to GNOME and to authenticate for other operations,
such as git push etc ?

If your fingerprint reader is supported, you can configure it in System
Settings > Users  and for your user it should be there (I'm currently
not on gnome desktop to tell you how exactly it is named, but easy to
find if supported/displayed), I have older T400 with fingerprint reader
which is supported, and it works fine.

Also if you want to find out more, tools/libs are fprintd / libfprint
(or similar), also check thinkwiki

Hi,

I have e530 so and luck so far.

fingerprint-gui shows "Upek sensor" as attached device, but it does not 
recognize it as fingerprint device. I found this link 
"http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/07/22/how-to-get-fingerprint-reader-working-in-fedora-linux-upek-147e1000-in-this-case/";, 
but as I said, it does not recognize it here..


Can you try this and see if it works for you?

Why? Qt5 is available in the Fedora repos and can be easily installed

Seems highly tangental to the prior conversation, but possibly yes.

Essentially, it's a mechanical vibration, even at a very high rate.  

If you gently pluck a guitar string while tuning it, it doesn't play the
same note as if you very harshly pluck the string.  Or, to put in
another way, you pluck a string and let it ring, the note it plays goes
slightly flat before it peters out to not vibrating (the frequency
decreases).

So, I wouldn't be surprised if you kick a crystal with less voltage to
make it swing than you usually do, it mightn't do it so fast.

a good analogy. but that applies slightly differently.

basically, crystals are cut to oscillate at designed frequency, with
exceptions being those designed to vary with voltage.

> to make it swing than you usually do, it mightn't do it so fast.

true, but if frequency cut, they tend to reach designed resonance.

i did find a good lead in to crystals which refreshed my learning
from years ago at;

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator

more info relating to v/f swing near bottom;


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator#Circuit_notations_and_abbreviations

[notable those with "VC" in name]

info on BIOS chip is at;

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS

both of which tend towards 'off topic', but i thought it might
help others who may like to know more about the bios chip and
it's oscillator.

The fundamental frequency of the string does not change, although the
energy in each harmonic does (higher harmonics decay faster, which
changes the audible character of the note). Not sure how that relates to
the behaviour of crystal oscillators.

But this machine had been working for years without this recent

The laptop belonged to a friend at the time. She sent it to me to
fix. I replaced the cooling fan with an identical one specified by
the same manufacturer and model number on the dead fan.

After fan replacement, it started having this intermittent problem.
So, I am led to strongly suspect that overheating may have caused
the problem before I even put in the new fan.

.
before replacing or installing newer cpu, do what has already

clean away old thermal paste, apply fresh _white_ *high temp*
thermal paste.

_do_not_ use a clear paste. clear does not give needed transfer.

as for installing newer type cpu, contact AMD support. who would
know better? ;-)

to find out if cpu is causing problem, use this script;

#!/bin/sh
while true ; do
  sensors >> ~/00-check-sensors
  sleep 600 ## set sleep period to an interval of your choice.
done

when system locks up again, open "00-check-sensors" to see history
for temps and fans.

years back, i had a 586 system locking up. running above script
showed memory fan was slowing down. replaced fan, problem ended.



Good advice.
Will try it out.

Even just mucking about with the fan (poking things about without
removing it) can disrupt how well a heatsink is pressing against a CPU
(with heatsink compound between them).  It dries out, over time.

A smooth, thin, consistent layer of compound should be spread over the

all very true.

a 'box cutter' blade works well to spread paste on heat sink. after

But DC supply rail voltages don't necessarily equate to oscillator drive
voltages.

I'm not hands-on familiar with playing with crystal oscillators, but
have played with LC oscillators, and those types of resonant circuits
tend to be somewhat less.

forget that script. i thought i would expand script with a time stamp

now, if you are aware of time you are doing whatever, you will be
able to relate to when.

i have been running script to see how it is tracking and i see

most welc. ;-)

if you have not refreshed thermal paste yet, as a bit of curiosity,
run script before and after to also see if there is a change.

as for installing newer type cpu, contact AMD support. who would
know better? ;-)

to find out if cpu is causing problem, use this script;

 #!/bin/sh
 while true ; do
   sensors >> ~/00-check-sensors
   sleep 600 ## set sleep period to an interval of your choice.
 done

when system locks up again, open "00-check-sensors" to see history
for temps and fans.

years back, i had a 586 system locking up. running above script
showed memory fan was slowing down. replaced fan, problem ended.



Good advice.

thank you.


Will try it out.

forget that script. i thought i would expand script with a time stamp
so you can better relate to when things change.

=+=+=+=

#!/bin/sh
#   fn = log-sensors  v. 2  r. 01
# date = 2015-0525-1330
#   author = g e leem - copyleftist g e leem, gnu gpl applies.
# path = /home/users/scripts/
##
#   usage:  build a log of sensor readings at 10 minute intervals
#   add a time stamp every hour
##
#   notes:  sleep 600 = 10 minutes delay
#
#   chk-sensors = 6 starts with value of 6 to
#   count down sleep periods of 10 minutes in
#   first loop
#
#   chk-sensors = 7 so that time stamp with have
#   correct value for next loop
#
#   start logging from a terminal with command
#   log-sensors&
#   to run in background and free terminal

chksensors=6

while true ; do

 sensors >> ~/00-check-sensors

 sleep 600 ## set sleep period to an interval of your choice.

 if $chksensors = 0 ; then

   date >> ~/00-check-sensors

   chksensors=7

 fi

 chksensors=$chksensors - 1

done

=+=+=+=

now, if you are aware of time you are doing whatever, you will be
able to relate to when.

i have been running script to see how it is tracking and i see
changing in cpu and board temps and fans speeds. nothing drastic,
but interesting to see. :-)


Thanx.

most welc. ;-)

if you have not refreshed thermal paste yet, as a bit of curiosity,
run script before and after to also see if there is a change.



I ordered the thermal paste (Arctic silver) online.
Waiting for it's arrival.

Seems highly tangental to the prior conversation, but possibly yes.

Essentially, it's a mechanical vibration, even at a very high rate.

If you gently pluck a guitar string while tuning it, it doesn't play the
same note as if you very harshly pluck the string.  Or, to put in
another way, you pluck a string and let it ring, the note it plays goes
slightly flat before it peters out to not vibrating (the frequency
decreases).

So, I wouldn't be surprised if you kick a crystal with less voltage to
make it swing than you usually do, it mightn't do it so fast.



How far do you expect it to change, Grasshopper? Inquiring and bemused minds 
want to know.




You are right in that in general changing the voltage on a crystal oscillator 
will change the output frequency. Generally this is of concern to people who 
build precision oscillators but not mere mortals such as computer users who are 
bold enough to try to "fix" things inside their computers. We're talking single 
digit parts per million frequency changes until the voltage gets low enough the 
oscillator becomes unstable which may not happen before the oscillator simply stops.


The crystal oscillator frequency will change at PPM levels as voltages get 
higher until one of two things happens, the crystal blank fractures or a 
component in the oscillator fries.


Crystal oscillators bear no more resemblance to a guitar string than a hydra 
bears to a gorilla. In one case both vibrate. In the other case both are living 
creatures using DNA.


I completely fail to see why you might be concerned about the oscillator 
producing a frequency of say 100.00 MHz or 100.000100 MHz on a computer. The 
oscillator will vary as much as 100 ppm with modern floor sweeping crystals from 
oscillator to oscillator and over a wide temperature swing. The voltage induced 
changes will be small by comparison.

ok.

i was not familiar with "Arctic silver", so i looked it up.

  http://www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm

from specs, looks like a winner and something i just might order
some for myself. what i currently use does not have micro silver
and such seems like a very good addition.

thanks for passing along name.

also, is there a thermal pad between cpu and heat sink? there
should be one because they help thermal transfer.

There's not nearly enough information here to give you an intelligent
answer but if you're using a supported USB to serial adapter, PL2303 (real
one, not the knock off) or FTDI, it should "just work".

Try dmesg from a terminal window right after plugging it in or try "ls
/dev/ttyUSB*" and look for an entry.

Assuming you have qt5-qtbase-devel installed, I think the binary is renamed
to qmake-qt5 so it can coexist with qmake-qt4.

Doing a little googling I found a comment that said you need to make sure
modemmanager is disabled as it will think it's a modem and try to
initialize it... Other than that you can try:

$ tail -f /var/log/messages

In a terminal window and then plug it in and look through any new output
when you do so.

BTRFS Question

2015-05-25 Thread Javier Perez
Hi

I am just learning about btrfs on my home system.

How do I know what kind of options where used to create a BTRFS filesystem?
I installed F21 from scratch and I  created a BTRFS filesystem on a HDD.
I think I created it with the "single" option.

Now I read that that is dangerous, I should have created it as one of the
raids if I want to have data redundancy and protection vs bit rot (which is
what I was looking forward to).

How can I verify it? Also, If I want to change it, can I do it IN-PLACE or
do I have to reformat/recreate the filesystem?

Thanks for whatever help/illumination you might provide. I am catching up
on btrfs, but I am not there yet.

JP

For backup it depends what you want, some people only care about data,
so you backup /home/, and possibly config files you changed /etc/ ...,
also there are other ways, making complete disk image, or archiving

For upgrade [0], you can use few methods

If the config files you want to back up pertain to personal settings
(your browser, your screen mode, screen background, things you've set
for your desktop and your login, et cetera), those settings are all
stored in your homespace.

If you mean system reconfiguration, those are in the /etc directory.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
