Tecra M5 on Ubuntu 7.04 - running on half the speed
It's quite strange, but I just can't get all the power of my TecraM5. As I said, I mainly use Ubuntu, but the same problem is observable with Fedora, Suse or Mandriva (to cite only a few I've tried).
The performance of my system seems pretty gloomy for the 2 hearts on each run on more than 2 GHz. And when I compare the results to the Geekbench benchmarking program with the results of the same machine, but on the preinstalled WinXP, I can see the performance on Windows is approximately doubled.
I was able to find a utility called "toshset" that shows me that the processor is running in mode 'slow' on linux. But there is no way to force mode 'rapid '. And Yes, the frequency scaling works as expected. If I force the scaling to use only 1 GHz CPU, I get the matching results to the Geekbench.
This 'feature' is quite annoying - my TecraM5 with dual core 2.16 GHz on is significantly slower than TecraM3 of my colleague, both running Ubuntu 7.04
If anyone of the Toshiba tech guys can suggest a solution, I'd be the happiest.
Good day
JB
Hello
Unfortunately nobody Toshiba reads our posts about despair and problems with our "babys", but I suggest you to go to the homepage of toshset and make your questions here because here not many people use feisty on M5. I have a Tecra 9100 with feisty fawn running and it works like a charm :)
Or perhaps indicating an SOS in the ubuntu forums would be useful. :)
Welcome and good luck - may the source be with you

CPU runs at half the frequency in Satellite
Not sure if it is a problem, but the CPU runs at half the frequency. I put the high performance plan and still the same. I think it should work at full power.
I also tried to disable the CPU power option in the BIOS and nothing helped.
To monitor the use CPU - Z and Speccy.What you think about this?
Is it normal?Hello
The Intel CPU supports the Intel Turbo Boost technology
Dynamically, this Intel Turbo Boost technology increases the frequency of the processor as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power margin to give a burst of speed when you need it and increase energy efficiency when you don t.The CPU also supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology is a means of which allows high performance while meeting the needs of conservation of energy of advanced mobile systems. Conventional Intel SpeedStep® Technology puts both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to the processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology is based on this architecture using design strategies such as the separation between the voltage and the frequency changes and clock partitioning and recovery.

Portege M100 just run half the speed - 600 Mhz
Hello
I have a Portege M100 that I found very slow until I discovered it was running half speed (IE 600 mhz). I tried everything in the Bios and in Toshiba utility, but nothing to do: always clocked at 600 Mhz.Is there something I missed? y at - it 'special' something to do to allow him to run at full speed?
I thank the of in advance to anyone who helps!
Hello
As already suggested that the firmware must be updated! This portable strange behavior happens especially if the technician forgot to update this laptop runs only at 600 MHz.

Tecra S1: Rf Ubuntu wireless switch does not work
Hi all
I recently bought an Intel mini-PCI wifi card for my Tecra S1 under Ubuntu. It is detected without any problem, Intel provides even native drivers for Linux. However, the hardware to activate wireless switch does NOT work. According to iwconfig, the radio is off. I use the ipw2200 driver which can detect the hardware and the software rf_kill. I can enable and disable software killing RF, but kill him material stays on.
I suspect that the radio feature is disabled in the BIOS but I don't have Windows running on the laptop over to change the setting. Is it possible to access BIOS options under linux? Toshutils are not supported by the tecra because she seems to have a Phoenix BIOS.
I hope you can help!
Edwin...
Hello
Tecra S1 supports BIOS Toshiba you can access BIOS by pressing ESC at the beginning of the startup.
In any case I think you won't find anything in the BIOS.If you are not able to use the switch of material on the side of the laptop then the Wlan card is not compatible or the hardware switch is malfunctioning. I would say that the card is not supported.
Maybe the insulation of the 13 pin might help please check that this son:

IBM Thinkpad message: 'this machine can run faster with the USB 2.0 hub.
Original title: Thinkpad USB 2.0 Hub.
Hello:
I have an IBM Thinkpad T-21 which is under Ubuntu & Windows xp. I primarily use Windows XP. The pop-up that keeps occurring is "this machine can run faster with the USB 2.0 hub. Can you tell me how to upgrade my USB 2.0 Hub? Would like to know because I can't sync my Android phone with my computer until I do it. Thank you.
Are you sure you copied this error message properly? In other words, he says that the hub could perform better if connected to a USB 2.0 port? As far as I can determine that the T21 is not come with a USB 2.0 port, even if you connect a USB 2.0 device (for example a hub), the unit will only race as fast as the port allows it.
What is the brand and model of your terminal?
It is possible that the message means the opposite (i.e., your computer has a USB 2.0 port, but the hub is only a USB 1.1 device).
USB 2.0 was introduced in 2001, so if you bought your computer before 2001, it is likely that you use USB 1.1 or 1.0.
Open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)
Expand the category of 'USB Bus controllers'.
If you see the "Enhanced" work for one or more of the listed devices, you have a USB 2.0 port. If you do not see "Enhanced", you have USB 1.1.If the problem is that the USB port on the computer is not 2.0, so your only solution is to buy a USB 2.0 PC Card adapter. Example and example 2
If the problem is that the hub is not 2.0, then you will need to buy a new hub. -
I have Windows Vista on my laptop. I went the wesite Firefox and clicked on "Download Firefox. An open page containing the 3 steps to download Firefox. The first step was told to click "run" button but this page was not "run" button and the other option "Click here" led me to the previous page that had the option 'Download for free' that got returned to the page 3 steps as described above. It's a vicious cycle that does not allow me to start the download process.

Satellite M70-360: CEekey.eke can not run because its the missing dll
I accidently deleted the ekecioctl.dll and now whenever I start my laptop (Satellite M70-360) I get an error message saying that CEekey.eke can not run because its the missing dll. Anyone know where I can download the dll?
Thank you
Hello
The CEekey.exe seems to be part of the Toshiba E - key utility.
Therefore, you should try to reinstall this utility to obtain the keys working again.Another clue; have you tried to restore the operating system to the early time point?
XP supports the System Restore tool. You can easily put the BONE at an early stage and the E key should work again I hope ;) -
Tecra M3 or get overheated - need to wait for the new motherboard
My Tecra M3 (serial number X5621357G) fan started working at maximum speed in November.
Technical support Toshiba in Greece kept for repair of 26 November 2007 to 14 December 2007.They changed the motherboard and the fan. After this repair, the fan started working again at maximum speed and immediately after that the computer has been 'frozen getting' (has stopped working - had to pull the power cable to restart).
Toshiba service asked me to reinstall Windows, but this doesn't solve the problem.
Took the computer back to ASP on December 24, 2007. Now, they say that it is still a hardware problem and they have to wait for a new motherboard. It will be available on January 7, 2008!
I don't have a laptop for over a month.Post edited by: ADMIN
Hello
Really, I can understand your frustration and it s always a stupid situation if any equipment malfunctioning, and if certain parts need to be replaced.
I guess you have to wait a little bit more because the motherboard seems to be on hand and must be provided of the warehouse of head of Toshiba.
Extra, you should consider that you sent it to EPA on December 24, 2007 and as I m not wrong most companies and service points are closed for ChristmasGood luck and please don t lose patience. Happy new year

Tecra A6: no dial tone with Replicator port when the phone line is plugin
Hello
I have a Tecra A6 and the Advanced Port Replicator 3 Plus. Everything works except that I can't get a dial tone (for fax) when I plug the phone line into the duplicator. However, if I plug the same line to the Jack on the Tecra, I get a dial tone.
I suspect that the com port is not configured correctly. Toshiba software modem is set to 3 Com (which should be of the Tecra). Should this com port I choose for the Port Replicator?
Hello
Thanks for the info. I also think that the laptop was not properly connected to the port replicator. It is important that the laptop is connected correctly to the port replicator.
Further, you should check if you have a new version of the Extention3 of Mobile of TOSHIBA (TME3) installed on the laptop. -

Cannot run most of the terminal commands
Recently the Terminal application on my iMac has been upward. When I opened the app, it displays the message: "-bash: touch: command not found". I am more able to run ruby of the IRB of terminal or access. Even simple commands such as ls train "-bash: ls: command not found". The terminal command, only that I was able to run so far is pwd. This iMac is relatively new to me. I bought at the flea market in December, upgraded the RAM and restored using Migration assistant. I have no idea about the competence of this iMac until I bought it. Yesterday I installed the El Capitan update 10.11.3. Since I tried to use this computer for learning development ruby, now that it seems to be useless for this purpose.

How to run VI in the background and save system resources
Hello
I want to develop an application (pc, windows 7) that checks the line port DSR series every 100 MS basically, I know how to create a VI that works with serial ports using VISA drivers. My request or my VI must be invisible to the user, and a variable DSR everytime level incrementing counter is high.
What is the best way to create a VI that runs in the background (invisible to the user, not even shown minimized in the taskbar). Given that the application needs to run most of the time, when the pc is running, I don't want to use too much computer resources (cpu, memory on an average desktop pc). The user should be able to work with other applications like ms office, during execution of the VI in the background.
LabVIEW is appropriate create a background VI which periodically checks the serial port and consumes system resources minimum or are languages like c ++ much better suited to save system resources? What is the best way to create an invisible VI that is running in the background?
Thank you very much for your help!
Tom
On any modern hardware, the difference in the use of resources among a LabVIEW application and written in C++ for a simple task like this will be minimal. Anyway that you use a fraction of the time CPU available if the application is written correctly.
To run an invisible VI in the background, see user-defined execution of a LabVIEW Application as Windows Service.
