AMD k10 Modules – Temp Sensor
They say the AMD k10 support will be rolled into the k8 modules. Whatever they do in new, upcoming package is independent of chipset support now. After some painful seaching to get the source code for the k10 chipset I found this blog post http://blog.morrigan.ch/?p=9. It is not an easy to find post but it does walk you through the compilation and installation of the modules. I will repost it here because my blog is very easy to find on the internet due to great Google indexing. First download the make file: Makefile Download the source: k10temp Make sure you have build-essential installed:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Run:
make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd)
Copy to the appropriate system folder;
cp k10temp.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/hwmon
Load the module:
sudo depmod && sudo modprobe k10temp
Reboot. Install gnome-sensors and you can view the temperature of your system as a convenient applet in your top panel!

Ok, I see what people mean about Android apps being extremely slow compared to iPhone apps. I’ve had about 315 downloads of the free version, and a whopping 5 downloads of the paid version. This by all means is exciting for the first week of distribution, but if thinks don’t pick up to some degree [...]

To install flash in Ubuntu use: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree This works on Ubuntu 32bit and 64bit. Flash is slightly unreliable on 64bit Ubuntu, but it works nonetheless. You can also install two open source versions of flash that have limited to good support. Gnash supports most older versions of swf animations, and newer versions [...]

Mod security has features that go above and beyond a standard firewall. It will help to prevent denial of service attacks, and also can be used to block traffic based on realtime blackhole lists issued by Spamhaus and others. Mod security is apparently in the Debian repositories as well as Ubuntu. In the Ubuntu repos [...]

Server side includes allow for external html documents to be injected into a page prior to it rendering on the client web browser. The benifit of this is eliminating the need to repetitiously repeat code over and over again. If you include the same scripts, on each of your website pages, you can create an [...]

Apache2 implements a structured method of organizing and enabling/disabling modules and sites. The default apache2 host is automatically turned on in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/, and it includes the virtual hosting option. Therefore, by default, virtual hosting is enabled. Create your virtual host containers in /etc/apache2/sites-available, and then enable them by issuing the command: sudo a2ensite xxxxx.com VirtualHost [...]

I’m using LTSP to manage a server remotely in a local facility. I setup an LTSP server on the host machine, and will place it in an air-conditioned room to preserve longevity. I configured a machine, of much lower power, to PXE boot from the server. There are several nuances to setting up an LTSP [...]

Image via CrunchBase There is a buzz that installing the Linux based Nvidia accelerated graphics driver is complicated. I consider it rather straight forward. First install build-essential, and the headers for your kernel. Those may appear to be some bigs words in the previous sentence, but it is really one line in a terminal window. [...]
