Comment on G530 Flicker Saga: The End? by Ben

I haven’t really noticed anything on the screen from the paper towel (aside from crap that was on there that didn’t come off), but you’re right. It’s probably not a bad idea to have something like a microfiber cloth on hand.

Yeah, even if the G530 were still being made I wouldn’t recommend it. If you have one, though, it’ll still hang in there aside from things like the screen flickering.

a paper towel is a very poor idea to clean any screen, the towel contains cellulose which can scratch the screen. Even a TV screen. Only use cotton or a special tissue for screens.

Besides that , I have no comment on his technique.

The G530 was discontinued a long time ago, so I don’t think anyone can find a new one. I recommend Toshiba.

Thanks. I upgraded yesterday and had the same issue. Setting up the correct kernel option resolved the issue.

Boa tarde,
estou com um problema, ja quebrei a cabeça, acessei inumeros foruns e ainda não consegui solucionar o problema, se puderem me ajudar.

estou tentando subir um banco no Unbuntu, faço os passos certinhos de instalação, configuração e descompactação dos arquivos, quando vou para fazer um teste para ver se o banco está subindo da a seguinte menssagem, “Running on Linux 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:50:42 UTC 2011
Not enough memory”.
Fala que não tem memoria suficiente.
Desde ja agradeço!

Comment on Lenovo G530 Screen Flicker by Ben

Universal charger? What’s its output rated at, I mean voltage and amperage? It almost sounds like it’s not strong enough to run the machine.

Comment on Fun With Jack and Pulseaudio by Ben

When I wrote this I think I was still trying to troubleshoot the Saffire a bit, so I don’t think I tried all of what I described (PulseAudio < -> Jack) under the harshest conditions, but if I recall I was able to get Jack running with pretty low latency at the time. (The really killer, I think was when I was using Ethernet.) I will have to revisit this; I haven’t tried to do a Skype session with the two sound servers in a while.

On the other hand, while PulseAudio offers some nice conveniences I think that setting up Alsa to do the mixing was probably what the distros should have started doing before jumping on the PA bandwagon. For most people, it would be fine, and much simpler.

I was checking out the Phonic a little, I’ll keep it in mind if I’m ever looking for another FireWire interface. Thanks for the tip that it works!
