Standy now works!!! required some fixes for built-in keyboard and touchpad but it works! See 7.04 installation status blogroll for details!

Today I suddenly got a problem with fans not restarting after hibernate… I realized that when the CPU temp was close to 90 – restarting the thermal module helped, however fans got stuck in critical mode, meaning my nw8440 souneded like Boing 747 taking off.. Anyway here a very similar problem is fixed by removing
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/thermal – seems to work for me too…

Well, funny but common bug.

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies correctly return:

2167000 1667000 1333000 1000000
2167000 1667000 1333000 1000000

However cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq gives:

1667000

1667000

sudo echo 2170000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq && echo 2170000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freqа

fixes the issue.

Thanks to this post

I’ve added:
host.cpukHz = 2170000
hostinfo.noTSC = TRUE
tools.syncTime = TRUE

to /etc/vmware/config and now the clocks in my virtual host runs fine!

I have vmware server running and using 2x application server. See here

Got the Excel running already.

The only thing if I login to virtual pc I get the terminal access rather then single application
