Looks good so far, wifi working!

Curiouser and curiouser!

This laptop dual boots, and I have been using windows 7 for about half an hour.

I'm back in debian sid with liquorix 3.7.0-10  core temp is now down from 75C  to  below 45C and xfdesktop4 has dropped off the radar on both mem and cpu usage, cpu usage is around 7%. I have conky and htop running to compare results and all looks good now.

It's all black magic..... puzzled...

No snow here either! Only 10 days of 30+ C 

Yes 3.7.0-10 was the last kernel I installed. I'm on Intel Core 2 Duo Dell laptop.

I'm not sure it's the kernel the previous one was ok, but when I back to it after I started having this issue, it was doing the same thing. Might trying removing and re-installing xfdesktop as well.

EDIT:

Just install the 3.2.0.4 amd64 debian kernel the same issue persists both cores maxed out, temp rising.

Removed and re-install xfdesktop4, no change.

As I recall I waited for the last upgrade because of python 2.7 bugs.

Hi V1

You snowed in?

I did a kernel upgrade a couple of days ago, and all seemed to be fine.

Did a standard upgrade yesterday, had to wait for python2.7 bug to be fixed.

I've been trying to get the live-build to do what I want and was planning to do some testing over the long weekend, so might have to postpone that until I can resolve this.

Hi

After the last upgrade yesterday I now have xfdesktop maxing out 1 core. It did switch between the cores but hasn't dropped in CPU useage. I have rebooted a couple of times, without any change. This pushes the core temp up so I can't use it for very long. I've not had the problem before.

Just wonder whether anyone else has experienced this issue?

Any help/insight would be appreciated.

Cheers
Ozi

EDIT: now both cores are maxing out, will switch back to standard debian kernel.

I just installed Liquorix Kernel 3.7.0-10.dmz.1 all good so far.

Thanks I might not do any better.

I've been hunting around to find out more about debian live, and came across these 2 links.

http://live-build.debian.net/cgi-bin/live-build
From this url I ordered a sid, netinstall, xfce, and I'm waiting to be notified when it's ready. I'm 11th in line for my order to be processed!

http://live.debian.net/manual/3.x/html/live-manual.en.html#89
I also had a search through this manual and looks like sid can be done, it mentions sid in at least 4 places.

I'd like to give this a try to see how far I get.

I have several partitions that are all the same on 3 different machines that I use as my build boxes..  Were you referring to an online buildbox?

I think that answers my question, you have a separate build environment.

Do you maintain a separate build box or do you just do everything off your regular desktop?

Excellent that's for me then.

Thanks VastOne that's awesome  Hopefully this will be a better way than maintaining a script.

If it is 64 bit... 

haha that was quicker that I thought you'd reply!!! And shorter too!!!

I'd be interested to know how you put all this together, but I'm quite sure you haven't any time to write it down. I am curious though...

@ jst_joe - You and followed the same path, but for different reasons.

Ubuntu 7.04 to 8.04 when I switched to Xubuntu because Ubuntu was really slowing down on my P-III with 512MB RAM.

Then I noticed the same thing when Xubuntu hit v9.04 ... really bothered me too, because they claimed it was "light - for older computers" and I loved Xfce over GNOME.

I went distro-hopping, not for testing, but looking for something that would work a little faster.  Imagine my surprise when I installed #! v9.04.1, knowing it was Ubuntu based.

At first I was lost ... installed programs and they weren't in the menus.  Bad menu, bad bad!  What did I do wrong?  It did get easier...  and I got hooked on #! and OpenBox, with a computer upgrade (used parts) from the P-III to an AMD64 single core with 2GB RAM ... I was flying high!

And along comes #! v10 with an Xfce session added - I talked VastOne into trying it.  He loved it.  Somewhere in this happy mess #! switched to Debian "testing" that made me even happier.

CRUNCH! BANG! SCREECH! HALT!  Next version of #! and it was OpenBox only. OH! OH!  VastOne was not happy!  He installed Xfce4 and went to work. Tweaking this, doing that, pulling this out adding that bit  ....

And here we are!

Now Don't get me wrong, I love #! and still do. It's based on "testing" and as solid as a rock, despite what they say.

I've been running SID since I used VastOne's "Yet another Debian Net-install script" and added #! scripts to it.  If #! is the greatest Distro east of the Atlantic, then VSIDO is the greatest little Distro west of the Atlantic.

If someone wants Debian "testing" I recommend #! hands down, without even blinking an eye.

If they want SID ... "Have to heard of VSIDO?"

@Sector11
OMG we're twins    Same life experience......

Could I get VSIDO on my 7" tablet??

Installed --> wifi still working --> good so far
