Bug Description

HP NX6325 not working with Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop

Details.

Added this
This line to /etc/rc.local; before "exit 0"

/usr/bin/fancontrol-bd &
exit 0

Created to file "/usr/bin/fancontrol-bd"
with this content:

while true;do

 echo "1" > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ1/polling_frequency;
 echo "1" > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ2/polling_frequency;
 echo "1" > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ3/polling_frequency;
 sleep 15;

done

And then

CHMOD 755 /usr/bin/fancontrol-bd

Complaints:

1.
There is some variation with HP NX6325.
WIN XP SP 2 with certain updates does not handle any more my HP NX6325, and with WINDOWS this machine is useless.

1.a.
Sometimes this helped with 9.04
- turn on HP NX6325
- in the log in, select "Reboot"
- after reboot usually processor was so hot that fans were working all the time
- but not always - which is irritating.

2.
I changed back to 8.04 LTS and at the moment of writing it is working.

I guess somebody should look tall HP NX6325 problems.

With kind regards.

Nope.

Also problems with 8.04 LTS with HP NX6325

Machine freezes, but not with blue screen.

With 8.04 LTS with the HP NX6325 machine worked longer, but freezes also.

With kind regards.

New trial.

I logged in.
I opened terminal and put the NX6325 computer to calculate some MD5 checksums. After a while all fans were on/working.

During this time I could add that fancontrol-bd -script.
This time without "sleep 15".

Then I shut down and started again.
This time HP NX6325 started and right from the start/beginning all fans were on/working.

Details.

Added this
This line to /etc/rc.local; before "exit 0"

/usr/bin/fancontrol-bd &
exit 0

The problem is with Karmic Alpha 4.

The problem is the same:
- 8.04 LTS.

Hi tmjura,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 384306

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I installed PCLinuxOS, and the ACPI problem was solved there.

So.
Partially solved.

May be you could consult PCLinuxOS people, and ask about ACPI solutions.

Regards,
