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 laptops and overheating with Linux

    If you have a Toshiba laptop that seems to be overheating in Linux (like Ubuntu Linux), it is likely that this is due to bad "DSDT tables" (which refers to such things as energy saving) in the laptop.

    Each computer has a description of material data that are used by the operating system. In many cases, the DSDT tables have errors that does not allow for Linux make use of powersaving. In addition, some devices may not work because of the bad DSDT. You can check if your DSDT is OK or now by following the instructions at
    http://UbuntuForums.org/showthread.php?t=1036051

    You can perform this task even in Windows (extracted from the DSDT from your computer, recompile it and seewhether there are a of errors.) With help, you can easily fix most of the errors and 'install' back the fixed DSDT).

    You can google for "toshiba dsdt" and 'toshiba dsdt overheating' case, for example.

    Hi tarafog

    Thanks for this useful article. I m watching carefully what you write here, and I'm happy here is someone with a very good knowledge of Linux.
    With your help, I think a lot of people's decision made test Linux on Toshiba laptops and try to deal with the new operating system.

    Thank you for your participation on the Linux section.

  • Re: Function keys issue in Toshiba M50DA103 with Linux

    Hi all

    I bought this Toshiba M50DA103 to eventually eliminate the pre-installed Windows 8 and install my flavor of Linux on it instead. However, there is a problem annoying with the function keys, a problem that appeared after I installed Ubuntu Linux. The function keys appear to all foires (the key which is supposed to increase the brightness suspends the computer instead, and so on.)

    First of all, I thought that this could be a problem with Ubuntu only, but then I tried to boot Fedora, and the problem is always the same. That being said, it could be a matter of core, or a problem of hardware compatibility.

    Could you please give me some ideas on what I can do to fix it? In fact, I have discussed this matter with the Ubuntu forums guys, but could not reach a solution.

    Please help, if possible.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I tried to understand the situation of the hotkey and belive it works like this:

    The kernel has a certain driver, toshiba_acpi, who handles the events from the keyboard shortcut key.
    The driver is for a reason any confused about the layout of shortcut keys.
    I think that most of the distros uses the same driver for the kernel, so it won't do much good to exchange for another.

    You mention the unit suspended when it is supposed to reduce the brightness.
    This is how was the plu layout of Toshiba - FN + F3 = standby, hibernation = FN + F4.

    So what is happening is that the driver react the "old way".

    I reached out to the maintainer of the pilot to ask questions about how it works.
    Don't expect miracles or even any improvement at all.
    But if we are lucky, we can find the roommate of changes.

  • 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

    I found a website of Toshiba with Linux information, models, etc...

  • 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.

    > All computers laptop Toshiba work well with Linux?
    In General, they work well with Linux. If you see this section of Linux, you'll see that menu use Linux on various models of Toshiba laptops.

    Officially, Linux is not supported on Toshiba laptops and it may happen that you will have a few small problems with Toshiba specific things like the multimedia keys.

  • 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

    > In the case Toshiba does not provide a patch...
    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.

  • Satellite L305-S5939 - Dual boot with Linux

    I recently bought the notebook title mentioned for my studies in computer programming that will require me to dual boot with Linux.
    I decided to use Ubuntu and their instructions for upward the dual boot parameters are simple.

    However, I heard from people having problems with the settings of the BIOS on other brands when said is finished.
    Before I embark on this journey, I want to just make sure that everything is set to avoid problems.

    Unfortunately, I have not found much information about Dual boot with Linux and Toshiba L305s.
    Other than the basic principles of what I need to do before installing?

    I think that a dual boot on the Satellite L305 should not be a problem because you can do it on every laptop or PC.

    If you want Ubuntu you should take a look on Wubi
    http://wubi-Installer.org/
    It of pretty easy to use and in my opinion the best way to install Ubuntu on a system dual boot.

  • Is it possible to buy Tecra A8-104 only with Linux as main OS

    Is it possible to buy the Toshiba Tecra A8-104 with Linux preinstalled, or without any OS? I like to use for the majority of free software, but I wouldn't pay for Microsoft OS.

  • Tecra R940 - 1 hr: what happens to work out of the box with Linux?

    I'm considering buying a laptop Tecra R940 - 1 hr.
    I'm going to use it with linux (ubuntu) system.

    What happens to work out of the box?
    Should I expect any problems with the display/network/wifi/sound?
    What about camera, usb 3.0 and bt?

    What is possible to work? Suspend? Function keys? Fingerprint reader? SD reader?

    What's not to work?

    I run Ubuntu Studio (12.04) on a Tecra A11-ST3504, and everything works perfectly.

    However, your computer probably has the latest UEFI instead of the BIOS, and this causes problems for some with start-up and installation.

    If the live system starts and runs, I'd go for it.

    I'll put the admins the trouble to make their usual warning: "of course, Linux is not supported by Toshiba."

    Enjoy!
