Undervolting CPU in Ubuntu

Hi guys,

as for MakeMKV I want to open another tool to Ubuntu users too: PHC. It stands for Processor Hardware Control and, as it's easy to understand, it allows users to customize some features of CPU control in a linux environment, as undervolting.

Gentoo users should look at this specific guide!

Bluray on Ubuntu without rip!

Hey guys,

few months ago I wrote down a guide for Gentoo to play Bluray Discs without ripping. As it seems that the topic is hot I want to help Ubuntu and Debian friends too :]. The solution is the same, just the package handling is different, so the how-to will have some changes!

Phctool patch for 2.6.36 kernels

Here comes a bug solution for Phctool, committed in gentoo package 0.5.2-2-r1 and developed by me :]

Phctool python-based graphic interface seems to not work due to the way CPUs id is defined. Looks like it's based still on /proc/acpi/processor/CPU./info which is no more present in my system. It looks like that kernel 2.6.36 and later doesn't support those deprecated /proc/acpi directories even with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS enabled.

Laptop modding: install usb on mini PCI-e

Hey guys,

some time passed, but still some hot stuff for you. If you have a laptop, you've experience the "damn, no free USB... it s*cks". I'm sure that of course all the small sticks that hang out from your laptop case are in terrible danger or feel uncomfortable... I have the solution... obviously not for everybody... be sure you have an idea of what you're doing...

Sorry for the long absence

Hey guys,

sorry for my long absence, I've been really busy in these months and unrfotunately I'm going to be so till the end of March... If I'll have some spare time I'll write again, continuing the new modding section.

Cheers
