Debian Configuration :: Ondemand Governor Stuck At 70% Of CPU's Capacity
Aug 25, 2011
Whenever I unplug my laptop it gets slugishly slow, and I don't understand why. I noticed that when on battery I cannot by any means make the cpu work at its full speed (1.7Ghz) even with the performance governor; it always stays at 1.2Ghz. When unplugged from AC, cpufreq-info also tells me the speed can vary between 600MHz and 1.2Ghz, even though it reports the max hardware speed of 1.7Ghz. Besides, I have tested the laptop on AC power at 1.2GHz and it seems a whole lot faster than when on battery at the same speed. Are there any more "power-friendly" reductions in... say for example, graphics card? It would impact UI redesign significantly (and it sure as hell looks slow). How can I customize (or at least disable) these inconvenient cpu speed reductions?

I want my computer to use the "ondemand" CPU frequency scaling governor when plugged in and switch to the "powersave" governor when running on battery power.

On an asus p4C800, i have a, very old, pentium 4 3.2 GHz (HT, prescott). On which i installed an opensuse 11.4 (after some network quirks and some grub tricks)... First i saw that the p4_clockmod module was not compiled for the kernel. It took me one night to compile the modules, and it borked my whole installation, which i spent my day to remake, but that's another story. After loading all the appropriate modules (speedstep-lib, cpufreq-something, etc...), i run this command :

I'm using the latest kernel and after I boot up my computer the cpu governor changes from the fastest setting (2ghz) to the slowest setting (800mhz), and gets stuck there. Theres no obvious way to change the setting, the gnome applet to change the cpu frequency doesn't work - I've also tried to change the setting manually through the /sys/ directory but to no avail.
There was a suggestion to fallback on an older kernel, but my older kernels suffer from the same bug.Does anybody have any ideas? I can provide more information on request.

I have an 8gb sandisk cruzer flash drive that I wanted to remove the U3 software from. I used with this:and ran it on my windows machine because wine didn't work for itbut after it removed U3 my card only had 3.8gb. Is there any way to restore it back to 8gigs?I've already tried reformatting with the disk utility and it just doesn't give me the option to format higher than 3.8gb.

I have issue with cpufreq frontend in LXDE, I cant change governor. I am in powerdev group. Maybe I dont have permission to change governor with this plugin. I am using Debian Squeeze. Please what can I do, I can change the gowernor: cpufreq-set -g ... , but I want to do that like normal user in cpufreq frontend in LXDE.

I'm new to the world of linux I've started using it just one week ago.I installed Debian Lenny without problem, and after 2 or 3 days managed to make my wifi and ATI card to work. Today I tried installing compiz, through the packet manager that comes with the system. It was downloaded and installed successfully, so I rebooted to see it effects (I guess) but after that, I wasn't able to get to the login screen anymore, it just gets stuck at the "gray" screen before that (I took a pic of what screen i'm talkin about). Then I accessed in console mode and removed all the compiz packages, tried dpkg-reconfigure gnome and gnome-core, then reinstalled the ati drivers, but the problem is still there.I don't want to reinstall the whole system, I don't think a simple problem like this is enough to do so, but sincerely I'm completly lost.

It's trying to fix/complete failed installs but keeps encountering the same errors (error message below). I'm running basically Testing, but there are a few Stable and SID packages due to issues with the blasted nVidia legacy drivers. I've swapped out the video board with an ATI board so that is sorted, but now I can't do any updates. Hoping there is some way to manually override apt's determination to try to fix all broken packages whenever I do anything (install, remove, update, etc). A Google search of this error message didn't turn up anything recent. Any thoughts are welcome.

I have Debian 8.2 with KDE 4.14 and everything runs perfect, except for the internet connection. This problem happens randomly when I turn on my machine. Sometimes when the desktop loads, the connection is already settled.
But sometimes when the desktop loads, the wifi icon is still loading and keeps stuck at "setting network address". Since this problem happens randomly I really don't know what is happening here. My wifi chip is this:
Code: Select all01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 130 (rev 34)
This is the problem:
I installed Debian with non-free firmware because of this chip.

My specs: Debian Lenny i686, 7gb ram, 1tb hdd, Pentium 4 2.2 the rest not important.
Now, i did clean install of Debian on to my 1tb hdd as such:
- 14 gb swap (as far as I understood it has to be twice as ram)
- / root 25 gb
- /home the rest
I don`t know if it`s important, but I am under Gnome+Compiz+Emerald.
So the first question is: There is a program in: Applications/SystemTools/Disk Usage Analyzer It tells me thisScreenshot-Disk Usage Analyzer.png
Correct me if I am not right, but i am running out of disk space on /home?

I have a single PC that has two hard disks in it. One is 250GB running Debian linux; the other 1TB running windows. I was switching between the two by going to the BIOS and changing the order of the hard disks to boot from. Both lived happily together in peaceful co-existance. Until....
Lately, I haven't been using Linux, so I decided to convert the 250GB to windows. So I put in the windows install CD, and it all started working fine, but when it came down to setting up a partition, Windows only recognized 130GB (out of the 250GB). I got confused so I decided to re-install linux. Linux recognizes the full 250GB; it recognized that there is a second hard disk running a different OS so the grub gave the option to boot from windows. So after a couple of reboots from both drives I decided to go ahead and install windows on the 250GB. Well again, windows only recognized 130GB, but this time, windows showed me another hard disk again with 130GB capacity. Apparently I stupid enough to proceed so now both hard disks - the 250GB and the 1TB - have capacity of 130GB each. And this is where I'm stuck.
I have tried fdisk, I have tried debug, but for some reason, windows can only recognize 130GB out of the entire disks; linux on the other hand recognizes the full capacity. I also used the seagate disk diagnostic tool (seatools for MS DOS) and it found no errors on either hard disk.
How can I reclaim the full capacity under windows?

I'm trying Ubuntu 11.04 for a week now, tbh I'm not really fully satisfied with it: high hard drive temperatures, graphical glitches and often the radeon driver hung up and has to restart itself, not to mention the general X11 window lockups and graphical glitches. But the fact that the ondemand cpu scaler doesn't work good is truly absurd.
I launched an instance of prime95, a famous benchmark and stress tool program, and the ondemand scaler don't care of the fact that the program is using 100% of cpu usage. It just don't switch the processor on the fastest pstate, leaving it at miserable 525 Mhz. If I use the conservative scaler, it correctly put the processor at high frequency when required. For example, the 768Kb FFT benchmark takes at best 76.602ms with ondemand scaler and 32.884ms with the conservative scaler.
Configuration:
HP Notebook Pavilion DV5-1025el
Turion ZM-80 2.1 Ghz
RAM 4GB DDR2 800MHz
HDD WD 250 Gb
Ati Radeon HD3450 256 Mb.

I know that this has been a frequent discussion post and I have read a large portion of the posts but none of them have fixed this problem for me. My computer seems to default to performance upon reboot (and yes I have waited the 60 seconds it should take to switch to ondemand). I have tried a number of the ideas posted throughout the web but have been unable to set the default upon reboot. Here is my current /etc/init.d/ondemand script:
Code:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: ondemand
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $all
# Required-Stop:

I just wanted to know if having my laptop set to ondemand, will this affect performance in any way? I realize it increases the clock speed to performance when the CPU is under load, but does the time it take to go from ondemand to performance affect speed? Will there be any noticeable difference between the two setups? I have a dual core intel at 2.2GHz when in performance. When ondemand is set with no load it downclocks to 800Mhz.

I am finding the following problem. Just wanted to know anyone else has experienced these types of issues.My laptop is debian squeeze x86 with custom 2.6.34.1 hand compiled kernel whereas the desktop where I am doing ssh is a dual boot system with debian squeeze x86_64 with custom 2.6.34.1 kernel and ubuntu 10.04 x86_64. Whenever the desktop is running ubuntu, there is no problem with ssh. But when it is running squeeze many times ssh hangs, just after issuing the command. Sometimes it asks for password and then do nothing, otherwise it just remains at the ssh line itself Even the escape (~.) does not have any effect on that. Only thing possible is to kill the ssh process. There used to be no problem last week, but I think after an upgrade either on laptop or desktop, things went this way.

Recently when I rebooted the display resolution went to 800x600, where as before it was 1024x768. For some reason 1024x768 is no longer listed in (GNOME) System->Preferences->Moniters. Even after reinstalling Debian from scratch it's not there anymore. What can I do to fix this? System->Preferences->Moniters says Moniter: Unknown and stays that way even if I click Detect moniters.

i'm trying to Debian 8.1.0 on my notebook Acer Travelmate 2200. Currently i have very outdated version of Linux Mint. It works fine but I prefer keeping system updated. Only way to get updated system now is install new one, and here i have a problem. After CD/ISO booting, installation looking for a mountd devices, etc. then i got statement that CPU stuck for x sec. The same statement appears every 20sec. I was trying it on other linux distr's they give the same error. I didn't overclocked my notebook, his temp is ok. I'm working on it few hours each day, it didn't overheat. Someone told me thats bug of 2.6.x kernel but I'm trying install new system with 3.16.x.

I just installed debian (5.04) and my display won't go higher than 800x600. I'm familiar with openSuSe; where to check if video card & driver was detected corectly but am lost in debian. My video card is nvidia and it could do 1280x1024 on windows NT5. I think I picked through all the menus looking for this info but couldn't find anything.

I have a 650 GB ext3 LVM partition with RAID 1 on. The partition is 85% full, but the system says "no space left on device" - where did the 15% go?I ran "tune2fs -m 0 /dev/mda1", so it is not the space reserved for the root - so Nautilus reports the same free capacity as GParted now.Some more info:- Ubuntu 9.10 x64- GParted says 650 GiB, 104.83 GiB free- Nautilus says 104.8 GiB free- The system thinks the disk is completely full - I cannot even create (touch) a new empty file

I ran an update like I do every night and was informed that I have eight packages to be upgraded. I allowed the package manager to run these updates. However, it became stuck. The first thing to be upgraded is file-roller. I get the message "Unpacking replacement file-roller ..." and then nothing. I left it like this for about 30 minutes and then decided to stop it with ctrl-c. That didn't work. I rebooted and ended up having to fix the package manager as it was locked because it thought it was running. I tried to update again and after about ten minutes, it's still hung on the same spot.
