        The files under /usr/share/[package name] are meant to be used
 by the package at run time, and perhaps are part of an online help
 facility. I understand packages which have a built in help often do not
 give out other documentation.  But if that is not the case, and the
 primary documentation lives compressed in /usr/shar/package-name; then
 you have found a bug, please report it.

        I think this is covered in the release notes.

        Perhaps you can provide the kind of documentation that you think
 is needed?  I mean, this is the Debian way, a whole bunch of people
 volunteering our time to scratch our particular itches.   Your diatribe
 seems to indicate this is an itch you might be best to scratch.

| Description: linux tool to find out what is using power on a laptop
|  PowerTOP is a Linux tool that finds the software component(s) that
|  make your laptop use more power than necessary while it is idle. As of
|  Linux kernel version 2.6.21, the kernel no longer has a fixed 1000Hz
|  timer tick. This will (in theory) give a huge power savings because
|  the CPU stays in low power mode for longer periods of time during
|  system idle.
|  .
|  However... there are many things that can ruin the party, both inside
|  the kernel and in userspace. PowerTOP combines various sources of
|  information from the kernel into one convenient screen so that you can
|  see how well your system is doing, and which components are the
|  biggest problem.

Regular shell scripts could be called from any number of places. If
you're running a bash shell, you could run a csh or zsh or python
script. Similarly any of these scripts could be called from another
process, such as from a program written in C, or Lisp, or whatever. In
any of these cases the language of the script has no relation to the
environment it is called from. All the caller knows is that they are
executable files - any details are hidden. That means the pertinent
information needs to be stored in the script itself, and that has to
happen on the first line so the proper interpreter is invoked.

Imagine what would happen if you didn't do this. You call a script
from your terminal running bash, and that script is written in Perl.
Without the #! the terminal could either assume it's written in bash,
and choke on the syntax, or try and guess the language, which gets
hairy very quickly.

.bashrc and .bash_profile are different. They are only reasonably
invoked by a bash shell, so it is safe to assume they are written
using bash syntax. They are, after all, configuration files for bash,
so what other language would they be written in?

HTH,

Tyler

 Thanks for your answer, but seems like the problem have not relation 
with frequency throttling. I say that because in my system I have not 
control to change these kind of things. I want to say that all the 
frequencies still all the time the same.
 More over I tried to active the control of the cpu frequencies but I 
did not success with that, but is OK, I will ask about it in other mail, 
;-).

 Thank a lot any way,
        Gustavo

Hello 

I tried to active the cpufreq tools, but I did not success, :-(.

I already write in the file '/etc/modules' the cpufreq modules, there are: 
	cpufreq_userspace
	cpufreq_conservative
	cpufreq_powersave
	cpufreq_ondemand
	cpufreq_stats
	freq_table

after reboot we can see that all the modules was already mounted, see below:
	gusti@pr100:~$ fgrep cpufreq /proc/modules 
	cpufreq_stats 5408 0 - Live 0xf0ad3000
	freq_table 4576 1 cpufreq_stats, Live 0xf0ad0000
	cpufreq_ondemand 6636 0 - Live 0xf0acd000
	cpufreq_powersave 1920 0 - Live 0xf08df000
	cpufreq_conservative 7304 0 - Live 0xf0aca000
	cpufreq_userspace 4448 0 - Live 0xf0ac7000
and: 
	gusti@pr100:~$ fgrep freq_table /proc/modules 
	freq_table 4576 1 cpufreq_stats, Live 0xf0ad0000

but I still can't use 'cpufreq-info', see below:
	cpufrequtils 002: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006
	Report errors and bugs to linux@brodo.de, please.
	analyzing CPU 0:
	  no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU

And the directory 'the directory '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/' not exist, see below:
	gusti@pr100:~$ ls -l /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/
	total 0
	-r-------- 1 root root 4096 2007-12-31 10:09 crash_notes
	drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    0 2007-12-31 10:09 topology



Any Idea what is the problem ?

 Thank in advance,
       Gustavo.


BTW: I have a Toshiba Portege R100, and I'm using the Debian stable with the official kernel image 2.6.18-5-586.

It turns out that this is caused by moving a shell script (with a .sh
extension) into the run-parts directory. Run-parts won't run filenames
with dots in them. If this is documented clearly anywhere, I couldn't
find it, but removing the filename extensions fixed the problem.

Do you get any output if you run

?

AFAIK, wine won't work with anything later than Windows Media Player 6.4
because of MS DRM and OS bundling. As long as files aren't actually
DRMed, you can use the Win32 codecs from Debian Multimedia to play
almost any type of uncrippled file.

i did it in a screen session (which i still have access to).   I'll put that info up somewhere (again there's a ton of output) if 
it's truly important.  For the moment I'm going to concentrate on answering accurately all of your below queries.  And thanks :-]

I didn't intentionally install anything in addition to anything debian did (I definitely didn't recompile my own version of glibc 
or anything else on this box, it's all deb binaries loaded from sid repositories).

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

gets me nothing (both as root and as ni)

I needed to do this the other way, avi to 3gp, and had to download the
latest ffmpeg from subversion as the debian-multimedia repository didn't
have 3gp compiled in. I used the following configure line:

./configure --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl --enable-libfaac
--enable-libmp3lame --enable-libamr-nb --enable-libxvid

Hope this helps!
Mark.

We must be careful not to offend.  Companies now spend untold time and
money searching through languages of all sorts to be sure that a new
product or merged company name is not offensive.  If even one
person^Wattorney finds it offensive^Wlucrative it is certain that a
lawsuit will be filed.

It's PC insanity and it shows no sign of stopping any time soon.

Happy New Year!
