This convinced me of giving Liquorix a try: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=liquorix_38_kernel&num=1 So far so good. It seems the CPU load is slightly lower as compared to a vanilla kernel, which in turn translates into lower power consumption. However, in the past I have ...

^ is there anybody who has run LFS for longer than a few days/weeks? Or anybody who runs LFS *only*? Nah :D I do not now of anyone. Well, maybe the developers ;-) However, I, a Debian user since 2008, am seriously considering migrating to something like Gentoo or Funtoo. I am exploring Funtoo on a ...

If this fellow is really wanting to learn, I would dare to suggest Linux From Scratch (LFS) or something like that. I am currently giving Funtoo a try (that is why I have not been trolling here of late), and it is great. But still too easy, with all those configuration scripts and stuff. I think I w...

Acho que seria muito melhor abandonar as versões de 32 bits e focar-se apenas nas de 64 bits.

Também seria bom ter uma versão com um kernel alternativo como o FreeBSD ou o Illumos ;-)

Nano rules!

Well, in my case it also wanted to upgrade the Linux kernel in the same way... ;-)

Wouldn't that be a dream? A X-less system and a kernel-less system!

Digging a bit in the issue, I have found: The following packages have unmet dependencies: xserver-xorg-video-v4l : Depends: xorg-video-abi-8.0 but it is not installable It seems that xserver-xorg-video-v4l depends on xorg-video-abi-8.0, which is provided by xserver-xorg-core, but that has been renam...

OK, I think I have found the culprit. I hope, at least. When the LinuxBBQ first started in console mode, I edited /etc/network/interfaces to add eth0 in order to have a working internet connection. Then I installed the system and forgot about it. My guess is that having eth0 configured that way resu...

I can't help you with your problem but would be interested to know the specs of your laptop. Hey! I am still well synchronised! $ lspci (more detailed specs attached) 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation...

I have tried plenty of things and I do not think that any of them worked.

The last thing was replacing the Orage applet with Xfce default Time & Date applet in the panel.

That was a couple of hours ago. Every since then, the computer clocks are in good synchrony...

Good. Thank you for marking the topic [solved]. It might be interesting to try a Liquorix kernel or go back to a towo kernel just to make sure that's the problem, and I would not bet that this problem won't return, but that's just my opinion. OK, you were right. Now there is exactly (to the second)...

Good. Thank you for marking the topic [solved].

I have tried Liquorix kernels recently with this laptop ...

Have you tried a stock Debian kernel on this machine? If not, please install one. They are available in your sources. Let us know if that fixes the problem. Yep, if you reread my previous message, you will notice that is exactly what I did and that seems to solve the problem. As I said, I had never...

Hello, I am back to regain the lost status of Troll! In fact, none of the above solutions solved the problem. I also tried adding all kind of kernel parameters such as, but not limited to; clock, clocksource, notsc, etc. To no avail. I also upgraded from towo kernel 3.7 to towo kernel 3.8 (latest re...

I see you have degraded me from Troll to Virgin. Both are inaccurate but Virgin is entirely inaccurate whereas Troll is only partially inaccurate XD

To make this thread more useful, I will try to summarize it and add some additional information I have come across with during my problem-solving research: 1.- When having clock issues, one should probably look first at the output of "hwclock" and "date", respectively. If hwclock...

Last time I checked, mplayer still required X. In any case, the duplicity of the ntp servers list was not the culprit. Getting rid of it did not solve the issue. However, I noticed an approximate 40 minutes discrepancy between date and hwclock. I went to check the BIOS to find that, indeed, that dis...

OK. I hate to say this: Except for the "technical" parts, my comments are humorous. You should not take them seriously. Of course, BBQ is not bloated and of course GTK3 s*cks. That everybody knows. However, I find Synaptic useful for certain things. Certainly, not for updating the system. ...

OK. It seems to be reporting the right time now... Fingers crossed ;-) One problem I found was that the list of servers was defined both in: /etc/default/ntpdate and /etc/ntp.conf Apparently, one should use either one file or the other but not both at the same time. But I did not do any manual confi...

Hello, I have just installed this thing: http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxbbq/files/XFCE%20Base/linuxbbq-xfce64.iso/download carried out a full d-u and fed it with some stuff such as xfce4-goodies, xscreensaver, ntpdate and other superfluous items. $uname -a Linux roxal 3.7-5.towo-siduction-amd6...
