Overheating problem after upgrading to fedora 13 from fedora 12
I recently upgraded to fedora 13 from f12, and while I am not running more programs, my hp pavilion laptop is always overheated with the fans annoyingly working all the time, and sensors applet showing high degrees.
This is the case while I have set up a really light system using gnome without compiz and disabling services that I don't use, and after all I had the same setup with fedora 12 but without this overheating problem Below is the output of powertop, I will be grateful if you guys can help me powertop output: Code:
PowerTOP 1.11 (C) 2007, 2008 Intel Corporation |
well the recommended way of doing this is a full clean reinstall
and not the "upgrade" and / or "preupgrade" it is possible that you still have fedora 12 rpms installed it is "normal" for about 3 to 6 or so rpm's to be reused in the next version can you post the output of this code ? Code:
rpm -qa |grep fc12 |
I actually did a clean reinstall of the system,
however, much to my astonishment, when I run Code:
rpm -qa |grep fc12 Code:
ctan-cm-lgc-fonts-common-0.5-17.fc12.noarch |
Weird indeed...your command to look for fc12 rpm's is similar to mine (Fedora 13 x86_64) - a lot of them still installed.
My advice is that you monitor (or write a script to monitor) the output of top which will tell you which processes are using the most CPU % on average. |
maybe they are just not re-branded yet if version numbers stayed the same between version. Or yum decided to keep then since version numbers are the same. This is nothing to worry about.
I used fc12 packages on RHEL 6 Beta to install amarok, Krusader, .... and the roof of the house has not fallen on my head. |

some of those i am not surprised at and mostlikely have not changed and so the and not rebuilt with fc13 gimpfx-foundry-2.6.1-3.fc12.noarch OpenEXR-libs-1.6.1-8.fc12.x86_64 -- and such -- --- but these ??? --- xorg-x11-drv-apm-1.2.2-1.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-xauth-1.0.2-7.fc12.x86_64 rpcbind-0.2.0-4.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-ast-0.89.9-1.fc12.x86_64 what repos did you install? can you post the output of Code:
su - |
repositories installed:
Code:
$ yum repolist all |
I misunderstood JohnVV's question, I thought he was asking me for RHEL 6 Beta repo's, So I moved those repo files in new thread in Red Hat forum.

Can you post the output of a 'top' command to see what's running and what's eating up all those CPU cycles? a MySQL server running will eat up all your superfluous GHz'es. |

the repos look fine
skype is the only one that ( might or might not ) ??? be a problem from reading the /etc/yumrepo.d/skype??? repo you can go and look and see what is on that ftp/http site if there are indeed fc12 rpms there and not any fc13 , this might cause the problem you can take a look at the output of yum update with and without skype disabled Code:
yum --disablerepo=skype update |

Last Skype rpm's are fc10, as far as I know. 2.1.0.81 beta is last version.
