I just installed it; it looks promising. I played around with the US map, tried out a few of the tests (oh dear...my geography is much rustier than I thought, but I knew all the state capitals!). I didn't see any errors, but I dislike how a state, once selected as an answer, isn't dimmed out or something to show you've already correctly selected it.


Yes, definitely a bug report. However, its Help | About info says to file bugs at bugs.kde.org, so that's where I'd do it; here's their page there.

I'll try bug report later, when I got more time. Now I'm wondering if it is a bug or mistake, or it could be that the devs have taken the "republican" view that Northern Ireland is part of Ireland (Republic of Ireland), i.e. it's political and part of "The Troubles".

In Gnome under the region and language settings I've seen Taiwan listed as "Taiwan Province of China" rather than "Taiwan Republic of China". Province of China is what the Beijing government says, because it's of the opinion that Taiwan is part of mainland PRC and not a separate country.

Think the United Nations, certainly the CIA World Factbook and the Taiwan government refers to it as Republic of China, and not part of mainland PRC at all. Taiwan ROC. KGeography refers to it as a separate country.

It's clearly from OLPC, the center icon is a dead giveaway, but I don't know more than that.

The turtle at the bottom suggests something with Logo to me, and the palette says paint. So, I'll guess some Logo / turtle / paint sort of thing on a OLPC.

Yup it's OLPC. The Sugar interface. I was looking at the status of it recently and thinking about it. The $100 laptop turned out to be a $200 laptop in the end. And now these days we've got the $50 Chinese Android tablet and smart-phone, that's become very popular in emerging markets where the "XO" laptop was originally intended.

T Mobile is phone carrier. They have the most awful web site, people have been complaining about it for years. Now they are dorking with a beta version of an upgrade.

Why I am not sure - I was using Ubuntu. I use private browsing, Adblock, and NoScript. I toss everything on closing the browser. I do forget to enable certain scripts on sites, but every time I turn around there are more damn scripts. I've had sites tell me to use a "normal" computer.

Does any repository have a plain jane browser that you can just turn off javascript and images? I'm not sure about the new ones. Opera is using new coding (REL?) and some of the browsers in software had the same system.

I think I have FX 14. I still want the ESR version.
 
Nailed down my freeze issue, which would only happen when watching YouTube videos for so long (over two hours). now this never happened in ChromeOS but i figured out its cause:

My Chromebook is overheating, temps were skyrocketing to 160*F :eek:

CPU was maxed out at 100% and load average was up to 2.50 in top.

Why is this? close down the tab with YouTube and temps immediately decline to a more acceptable level (100 or less *F) and the fan shuts down. when viewing videos it's red hot and the fan is running full hilt. the cooling system isn't THAT badly designed is it? the computer has plenty of RAM, and this is YouTube and Adobe Flash. that shouldn't demand that much!

When temps approach ~145*F+ YouTube videos occasionally freeze while audio continues playing, then suddenly re-syncs and plays, and this process repeats until it gets past 160*F and then the entire system hard locks. have to hold down power and reboot. now if i hold my computer in mid-air with the palm of many hand as if my laptop is a serving tray, it seems to run cool enough, but this shouldn't happen.

While performance is pretty good regardless, it's still a bit of an issue. seen in this screencap the temps are still quite high and load is a bit high when all i have is AF open in Chrome, and Rhythmbox going. i've not seen figures in top like that since the old VectorLinux box (which was a PIII 650MHz with a paltry 640MB of RAM)

It's Flash I think, for some reason it seems to be horribly inefficient in certain situations. If I'm watching Youtube or Youku videos on my Macbook, the cooling fans quickly spin-up to full-speed from idling. sounds just like jet engines. And the activity monitor is showing 95%-100% CPU occupancy with a Core 2 Duo CPU. Yet on my Linux machine, Flash video doesn't seem to cause it any undue heating or stress at all, and that's just a lowly Atom dual core at 2GHz.

Although on yours, why would Flash in Ubuntu stress the computer out, and not Flash in Chrome OS? They're both Flash for Linux, should be the same. Why is it overheating at all just from running software, especially on a new laptop? That could be poor design, "THAT badly designed is it?" and Chrome OS is not working it particularly hard.
 
I'm looking for a tool that will auto-level a bunch of .mp3 files for use in my car stereo. Anyone have a recommendation? I am currently using Mint KDE.

I've heard some Linux gpu driver implementations fail to provide hardware-accelerated flash support, causing a fallback to software. It is known to happen on Ubuntu.

Nick, guess what? I've been running YouTube videos nonstop for a couple hours on my Chromebook, in Chrome (since I believe that's what you're using) instead of my real browser, SeaMonkey, and I'm not having the issues you are. Yes, CPU use and temperature do increase, but the computer in general shows no degradation whatsoever, and nothing freezes or anything like that.

My Flash info is:
Adobe Flash Player (2 files) - Version: 11.9.900.117
Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900

And my Chrome info is:
Version 30.0.1599.114

Moody, are you having your laptop in your lap or on a table? on a table it never gets hot enough. in my lap after a few hours you notice it glitching then hard freeze. i used a widget to monitor the temps and top in a terminal window and there is either a huge memory leak somewhere or Flash is just bombarding the hardware that much. i let it go until it started to freeze but caught it just before the hard lock and discovered the temps were over 160*F and the remaining memory was 65 MEGAbytes. Chrome was the culprit, using 100% CPU and the most memory. closed the YouTube tab and it immediately calmed down, temps dropped to a more favorable 100-110*F and memory jumped back to 256MB free, and Chrome went from using all the CPU to using only 5.6%

on my Mac, it hardly gets hot no matter if i'm gaming or watching video online. unlike the rest of my laptops, the Mac never makes my lap red hot. (one reason i prefer tablets is because a red hot laptop is very uncomfortable) I do not think the MacBook Pro has a fan. there is no vent, and it never makes any sound unless the SuperDrive is active.

I do not think ChromeOS uses Flash for Youtube, any more than the Android app would. same reason Netflix doesn't require Silverlight in ChromeOS.

Almost never in my lap, and when I do it's on a lap-tray-thingy my husband bought me when I was in college. I taped four bottle caps onto its hard surface, so my laptops sit up away from the surface for better air flow. But most of the time--like right now as I type this out on my patio--they're on a table.
 
i tend to use my laptop on my lap as i'm lying back on the couch when watching YouTube or just browsing. for some reason, YouTube refuses to work on my SmartTV, TiVo, or Xbox anymore, they keep stalling or rebuffering. the Chromebook is the ONLY system that can buffer and play perfectly well even in HD mode.
 
I have my laptop hooked up more like a desktop. I plug the HDMI cable into a 24 inch TV and use it as a dual monitor. I also Have External Harddrives hooked to it as well as a fan. When portable I use my phone or my tablet.
 
On many laptops the air inlet vents are on the bottom. Which is not a problem when using the laptop on a hard surface like a table or laptop tray. But placing it directly on your lap, which is obviously a soft surface, that could be blocking the vents and restricting the air flow. Which would certainly cause high temps and probably overheating. Placing a laptop on something like a cushion would be a definite no no.

MacBooks actually have the air vents in the hinge at the back, rather than on the bottom. Which seems to me to be more sensible and a better design.

Where are the air inlets and outlets located on a Chromebook? If they're on the bottom, it could certainly cause overheating when using it on a soft surface like your lap. In the absence of a laptop tray or anything else that would ensure the vents are not obstructed.

AFAIK any laptop should never run at something like 160F, no matter what it's doing. That's abnormal and could certainly cause problems. What can cause those temps is obstructed or inadequate cooling. Some high performance gaming rigs might run hot, but Chromebooks shouldn't.

I know there's a setting in Flash to use hardware acceleration or not. I've got it enabled. On my Macbook I have noticed that Flash does seem to have high CPU usage when playing online video. I've read about others finding the same thing as well, it's like the Mac OS X version of Flash might not be very efficient. I've got an older white Macbook, which is Core 2 Duo with Intel graphics, running Snow Leopard.

My Linux machine is a recent Lenovo S110(only available in China I believe), which is actually a low power Atom dual core with Intel graphics. But Flash video on this is just fine, and seems to run quite efficiently. The Lenovo is my go to travel laptop that I use for work as well, really because it's so compact and lightweight.
 
I've had countless laptops, and all of them on my lap. the Chromebook is the first to overheat. and what gets me is that 1) this didn't happen in ChromeOS, in fact, i do not recall the fan running much at all in it. 2) it's not like i'm playing Portal 2 or Battlefield 3, so it's not like i'm doing much to cause it to get hot in the first place, and 3) this is YouTube. should be peanuts for the dual-core Celeron in the thing.

It has to be an incompatibility somewhere. since it never happened in ChromeOS, there is something in Linux doing it. or something in Ubuntu or whatever. something either causing a memory leak, a runaway rogue app, something. it was far worse in Unity, but still does it in KDE. i am still betting it has something to do with the SSD, since the only thing that differs between mine and Moody's is that her's has an actual hard disk. i've had experience with Linux running off of flash memory, and it's not pretty. i do know when Linux has issues writing to disk, you won't notice it until it either freezes or lags. it won't outright crash like Windows does, it just keeps going until it's so corrupt that it's unrecoverable. disk write issues often manifest themselves as overtaxing CPU usage, or slow performance. overheating would be a symptom of the this much larger problem. perhaps it's best for this little computer to just get ChromeOS back until they get Linux nailed properly on it. it's just not stable in this form.

AFAICT maxing out the CPU, GPU, or whatever shouldn't actually cause any computer to overheat. That's if the cooling is designed properly, working correctly and is not obstructed.

Yeh "this little computer" LOL They might have designed it just for Chrome OS. Which under normal circumstances may not maximise or overtax the CPU or GPU. So could have problems when something does overtax it, and its little cooling system can't deal with it. Although Moody doesn't seem to have any problem apparently. What CPU and GPU are actually in a Chromebook? I assume there's no huge Nvidias or ATI Radeons or anything like that...basic Intel or something?

I'm running Linux Mint on my little computer, and there's no problems at all. It runs nice and cool, and has great battery life. Although my little computer original came with Windows 7( pirated..welcome to China.. :rolleyes: ), and so was probably designed to handle maxed out usage, i.e. it has adequate cooling provision. When it does play streamed Flash video, it's something like only 40-50% CPU usage, using the Chrome browser with Flash 11.9.

It sucks that your experience is so wildly different from mine. As I've said, my Chromebook--running Kubuntu 13.04--couldn't be more reliable and stable. Simply no problems like you're having with yours.

That's correct. It just cranks away without issues. I love it. And the longer I have it, the more I LOVE its portability. So, yeah, it's all good. :)
 
I am not blaming Linux, i'm blaming my Chromebook. the only distro i found compatible with or how-to's for is ChrUbuntu 12.04, not sure how you got Kubuntu 13.04 instead, i had to tack on KDE and delete Unity to get that. i personally would prefer a non Ubuntu-variant myself, other Linuxes never had any problems. Vector remains my favorite. i'd try one of them if 1) it had a CD drive, i read online that it won't boot from the card reader and 2) there was not a BIOS issue reading init.rd images, which is apparently unsupported and the chrUbuntu gets around it somehow by loading after the ChromeOS kernel.

I do not know if there is a slot for a hard disk. if there is, i know where i can get one, then perhaps my luck would change? i do know that for some reason Linux refuses to be stable on solid state memory, this includes booting off of SD Cards. does anyone know if the RAM can be upgraded on Chromebooks?
