Satellite P100-120 overheating running Linux Ubuntu 9.10

Hello world

I use Ubuntu 9.10 running on a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100-120; I have a problem of overheating and the fan never put to cool my laptop.
Looking around, I found that several models of Toshiba Satellite have the same problem and I found that the only solution work seems to update the DSDT file by exploiting this feature on Linux kernels (kernel argument acpi = off is not a solution).

The problem is that the current Linux kernel of Ubuntu distributions can't take no more (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/395239).
Given that this problem seems to affect many models of Toshiba/people, I don't know that Toshiba has corrected it to a patch of BIOS; is there a reliable to tell me how I can find this patch?
I think that we need a BIOS patch because I tried to read the DSDT and indeed it includes bugs (if compile you it with the compiler Intel as described, you can find them).

Commands to show bugs:
sudo cat/proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.dat
sudo iasl d dsdt.dat
sudo iasl tcs - a.dsl

In the case that Toshiba does not provide a patch, can someone suggest me the reasons (I know that Toshiba is not officially compatible with Linux, but today the Linux community should be accompanied by resellers of computers)?

Thanks in advance

That of the problem. Toshiba doesn't support Linux, especially not for this model of laptop, so you have to search solution elsewhere.
Support Linux costs money, and why do we have if the books are not delivered with Linux.

In my opinion the best place to find solution or pickup a few tips useful and info is specialized Linux forums and communities.
What Toshiba about Linux, you will find under:

Good bye

  • Can not find the drivers of Windows XP Home for Satellite P100-120

    Hi all,

    I have just formatted my laptop and I can't find drivers Xp Satellite P100 - 120 (PSPADE)...
    The http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp url P100 series there are only some PSPA0E, some PSPA3E and some PSPA6E... it isn't my laptop series PSPADE!
    Any suggestions?

    Thank you all.

    Hello

    This P100 laptop came with Vista. Am I wrong?

    It seems that the XP drivers for laptop that were shipped with Vista are not available at this time.
    I would recommend so choose and install drivers XP another series P100.
    Usually many laptops are delivered with the same specifications of equipment and you can expect that other drivers will run on you laptop.

  • GPU fans to work on Satellite P100-429 (Nvidia) on Linux

    Hello

    I have a P100-429... and managed to get the GPU fan to work. As most of you probably know, we edit the DSDT in order to get its work under Linux (and these laptops). There, another fix that also allows the GPU fan work. Mine seems to be on low-speed all the time and the Nvidia display configuration application now the temp to be less than 50 c most of the time, so before he went up to 75 or more.

    In any case, I've posted my DSDT updated at: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/edit.php?manufacturer=Toshiba&name=Satellite+P100-429

    NB I use also of the Bios version 3.30.

    I found the solution on the French site, I had to interpret slightly.

  • Satellite M70-164: heating under Linux Ubuntu problem

    Hello

    I use Linux Ubuntu Edgy under my laptop and when I play UT2004 I got a rate of about 90fps, but after 10 minutes of play fps drastically drop to 15/20 fps!

    I noticed that the pleasure never operate at full speed on linux! and to check I suspended my laptop and ubuntu has a bug that when you turn on your computer again, the fan will always run at full speed, so I went with the fan at full speed play UT again for about 1 h 30 and the FPS does not let it go this time, so I concluded that it is a heating problem.

    I installed omnibook but my phoenix bios do not support the fans... under windows, I have no problem.

    What should I do? Thanks :)

    I have no problem with Edgy on U200, with games such as Sauerbraten.
    Fan is really speed up when necessary.

    Hope you will solve your problem.

  • Can satellite P100-160 - I run Windows 7 on it?

    Can someone tell me if my P100-160 will run Windows 7 Home Edition successfully please?

    I ran the upgrade advisor victory, and he tells me that everything is ok except that I need an upgrade for - Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated Flash Media Controller.
    I don't know where to find this upgrade and my web searches have produced useful olein.

    Thank you

    Ian

    Hello

    Theoretically you can install Windows 7 on this laptop why not?

    The means of error message has something to do with the card reader. Maybe you need to update the driver because the current version isn't compatible with Windows 7. I think that it s worth a try!

    In the worst case, you can use the card on Windows 7 drive and you must use an external, but these card readers are cheap.

  • CPU overheating runing Linux Ubuntu - Satelite L300-1AQ

    Hello

    You run the programs of any background on linux?

    I had a similar problem on another laptop that on Linux the CPU fan is still running. To solve this program that I had to set up something on the boot files and the thermal management of Linux. It was very difficult so I asked a Linux specialist for help.

    Maybe you should do the same just on a Linux forum for help. Guys know a lot and most of the users here don't work with Windows I think ;)

  • Satellite P100-219: overheating after memory upgrade

    Hello guys,.

    I've recently upgraded to 4 GB RAM in my laptop, and he did it again.
    Computer laptop stops immediately after awhile. CPU or GPU gets really hot. Works fan CPU, GPU was not used intensely. Simple web browsing/cat/emailing.

    What becomes hot however is part to the left of the memory/wlan compartment. Is it possible that a chipset gets hot after just upgrade memory?
    I tested the memory with Memtest + for more than 3 hours. No errors.

    Moreover, the last time that my phone was in ASP it had returned with DMI saying it's Satellite L20! I dunno if that could be related...

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions,
    mentorek

    You have blown the dust anyway? As you say, maybe another component is overheating rather than the CPU or GPU. The CPU/GPU heatsink can be shared with other chips.

    Have you installed RAM high performance? His best choose RAM that has the same Timings CASE/RAS as the original factory of RAM.

    The name DMI does not cause something like this.

    PS. If you're running Vista, you must pass the BIOS and driver nVidia on the Toshiba site

  • Satellite P100 - cannot boot from recovery CD

    No matter what buttons I push on I get or anything and one reboots windows or black screen.
    I tried F12, F1, F2, C, f *, ESC, I changed bios priority support via the configuration utility of the material in the Panel to load the cd first, his pirouettes for awhile and just does nothing.

  • Problem running 4,80 Bios Update on the Satellite P100-473

    Hello
    I have a satellite P100-473 enriched with 4 GB of ram, using ubuntu 10.04 lucid 64 with nvidia driver.

    Problem with often increase GPU to high temperature (over 100 ° C) using sensors applet to check.

    I guess that's a BIOS and a driver problem.

    Windows 7 x 64 I don't have this problem with the latest nvidia driver (using speedfan to check the temperature)

    I tried to Flash the bios with the latest version => _Update.exe BD1_BIOS (V4.80) version 4.0, I actually and all flashing same mistake you Error - 121. update of DXE etc...

    While the .exe to extract the contents of the flash on your c:\tmp I'll try a bios flash with a bootable usb key and phlash.exe with the BD13C43. WPH.

    The problem is to find the phlash.exe official back... Phoenix does not provide such tools ;(

    I understand the need of simple bios flash on windows... but I don't understand the .iso missing for flashing at the start when the operating system does not match...

    If you have an idea thanks ;)

    Toshiba has offered traditional old BIOS updated (diskette), a long time ago. Now you can find WIN updates only.
    You can try to contact the closest service Toshiba and ask if they have traditional BIOS update.

  • Toshiba Satellite U500 overheating on Linux

    Hello.

    I just installed Fedora 15 on a Toshiba U500 and I noticed that it is very hot - the cpu temperature gets quickly to 80 C + and past often more than 90 c (then just pulled the fan in a few seconds).
    I installed lm-sensors and sensors - detect run them, but that did not help.

    You have an idea how I can fix this problem?

    Have you noticed that using another distribution Linux Ubuntu for example?

    I read on some forums that you could add either 'acpi_osi = Linux' or 'lapic' at the command line:

    Follow this:
    -Open the /boot/grub/menu.lst with a text editor
    -Add one of the above options (check first 'acpi_osi = Linux' then lapic) at the end of the line starting with "kernel".

    Maybe it helps

    In addition, you can try to disable Visual effects in Linux
