Toshiba laptops and overheating with Linux

• Toshiba laptops work well with Linux?

  I'm a big fan of Toshiba, but it's the last time I buy a Toshiba product. Producing none of Toshiba laptops running Linux? Least toshiba engineers could do is to make sure that a live ubuntu cd works on the laptop, to make sure that the fan starts and check maybe even the graphics driver works. If it's the fault of ubuntu then drop a bug in launchpad. As far as I know, none of the new Toshiba laptops have a fan that works properly, don't waste your money.

  You must order a set of recovery disc for the computer from the manufacturer - this will install the appropriate drivers for your system automatically, as well as packaged applications.

  If you have not formatted the disk (or replaced) existing partition recovery may still be present - see your manual for details.

  It is possible to download Vista - see here for more details - http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/57-windows-vista-direct-download-links -, but note that it is not a simple process!

• Toshiba overheating with Linux

  Dear Toshiba

  leaving all to AMD/ATI site is shameful for your buyers using linux. It is not linux job to try to make a driver out of their proprietary drivers.

  They have already ERASED all the legacy links page for installation of catalyst 13.1, which, at best, would force the user of ubuntu linux to return the path of the core 3.8 back to 2.6... but not even that it is possible. They think that its so old, they erase all PAGES of DIRECTIONS!

  I just bought this satellite with AMD Mobility Radeon 3100 rs780 LAST a YEAR and I expect you to take care of your linux - this card users fried the laptop overheating and after owning 3 toshiba satellite, I then won't buy your product because of the lack of support and only sell WINDOWS based laptops.

  Don't care when installing AMD/ATI, which does not support linux, you drive your customers away?
  Do you care that these offers of manufacturer of component you chose, not allowing support for linux, drive your customers away?

  Do you can not select a manufacturer of the graphics card that supports linux only for a few minutes before shooting their 404 error pages?

  The world hates Windows systems now, don't you know that?
  Mr. Gates is corrupt and thief. Maybe he wants to ruin Toshiba sales.

  >... and I expect you to take care of your linux users
  Respect for your opinion, but there are a few facts and in my opinion, it will not change in the future. As you probably know Toshiba doesn't support Linux and doesn t offer any substance for Linux if you can't wait for something like that.

  Laptop Toshiba computers are delivered with operating systems Windows and some models without operating system, but they are completely Windows supported.

• Toshiba L305D-S5881 overheating with Ubuntu Linux 8.0.4

  I have a Toshiba L305D - S5881 AMD Turion X 2 dual core RM70 with Vista installed on it.
  I reparted and installed Ubuntu 8.0.4 with dual boot. After reading the forums was able to
  to get the wireless working on it as well (Atheros Chipset)... it took some effort.

  Then I noticed that the laptop is running abnormally high time. The Ubuntu forum Guys tell me
  It is a problem with the dsdt.dsl file used by ACPI. The time to show by/proc/acpi/ThermalZone/temperature
  are systematically 65 ° C or above and ever-increasing fan State is constantly off as well and does not seem to
  put on anything.

  Is there a fix TOSHIBA for this laptop (IE a BIOS, which will generate the correct dsdt with the Intel compiler)?

  If anyone successfully running Ubuntu or another version of linux on this laptop without overheating and
  with wireless active, I'd love to hear about it.

  Thank you and best regards

• 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

• I have a Toshiba laptop and my touchpad does not work any idea on how to fix

  touchpad does not work on my laptop, it is a toshiba...

  Hello

  Some have keys that turns off the pad and many Toshiba have card keys which have a control.

  Control Panel - mouse - Touchpad is here

  Panel of configuration-device - mouse and pointing devices Manager - double click on info pilot.

  If no joy go to Toshiba Support and download the latest drivers for your version of Windows and 32 or 64-bit.

  Go here and put in your info model and search for the drivers for your system

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - click on - RUN AS ADMIN

  =========================================

  It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: you mainly want to update or reinstall the touchpad drivers
  and ALSO to get the Toshiba value added Package for your version IF it is there.

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
  questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
  manually if you wish.

• I have a new Toshiba laptop and the keyboard is equipped with a blue trackball (mouse) in the middle of it and I'm looking to disable

  I have a new laptop Toshiba and when I type my cursor will move to a different place at random.  The keyboard is equipped with a blue trackball (mouse) in the middle of it, and I think that it may cause the problem.  How can I disable it?   I don't want to disable my mouse pad, just the blue ball.

  Thank you

  ========================================

  There may be a program that runs in the tray near the clock in the bottom right that controls the
  device. Some Toshiba models have the keys of the map at the top of the screen (move the mouse all the way to)
  up to see if your model has this feature) which allows control on some devices. Some models
  have (usually indicated on the key cards) shortcut keys that control input devices.

  If nothing else works, try Control Panel - double - mouse and other pointing devices - devices Manager
  Click the device - driver tab - Disable. I would use this as last resort than the other options possible
  allow you to activate and deactivate the device much easier.

  I hope this helps.

• Sound distortion and overheating with laptop

  Hey, I have a laptop of HP 15-d035dx.

  Lately I had problems with the sound, which seems to be temperature related, and I wasn't sure whether to put this in the audio or material of the Council.

  In any case, at least once a day I have to restart, because all audio - video, Skype calls, music - beging to stutter severely and hear how I can only describe as 'robotic '. After the reboot, it goes back to normal.

  As you can imagine, it's very frustrating and I have no idea what to do. There is no error message, the system begins just trolling and the programmes concerned are block.

  Usually when this happens, I noticed that my camera is unusually hot. Since I bought it, I have never heard or felt the air moving through the vents, so I don't know if the fan doesn't work. I'm afraid to take part to make sure that where the warranty, but I suspect excessive heat can be damage the components related to this issue.

  Any ideas? If this can help the audio device by default is Realtek High Definition Audio

  Hello

  From the information provided, it seems, as the fan has malfunctioned. If you do not hear it at all (you should), then your best option in your under warranty is in contact with support, they should be able to help with that.
