Fedora :: CPU Frequency Adjustment Under 15?
Aug 4, 2011
how to lock the CPU frequency under Fedora 15. I try to run cpufreq comand but the terminal tells me the comand is bad and ask me if I want to install the program. When I click yes. It says the program has already been installed. While I try to use software manager under GUI, same thing happend. Software manager clearly tells me I have not install that program. But once I choose to install, the system tells me all package has been install?

I just update the system, and the cpu frequency applet stop working. I can no longer lock the cpu frequency. Once I click the cpu applet icon, The whole applet just freeze right there. Does not matter if what I do with it. Well, at least I hope some one just offer me a bit help on how to lock the cpu frequency in terminal. Other wise I can not run Folding@home due to cooling issue.

In the Firewall case, once I type in my password, the whole window just went blank. For the cpu applet case, nothing happen, the window ask for password does not show up. nothing. The system log did not have any entry...neither does the crash log. Which there are lot of entry there since I install F12

I am not entirely convinced that my CPU is actually changing frequency as it is meant to. It sometimes changes frequency, but most of the time it is stuck on 800MHz even when doing cpu intensive tasks. Here is information that may or may not be of help:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor: 0
vendor_id: GenuineIntel
[code]....
I notice here that it says between 800 and 800, but does that mean it is currently at 800, or can only be 800.

My Notebook CPU has variable speeds from 600MHz to 1.6GHz but since I upgraded to F13 it has not budged from 600MHz.I have already installed the gnome CPU speed widget and even if I set it to "performance" or "1.6GHz" it stays resolutely on 600MHz
The only indication that I can see that there is something odd is the output of acpitool tells me the min/max cpu speeds are 600MHz/600MHz. I don't know enough about the guts of Linux to know if acpitool is defective or if it's just repeating what it was told by something lower down.I will post some hopefully useful listings of some commands run under Fedora 13 and then the same commands on the same box with an F12 live USB.
Code:
Fedora 13
$ acpitool -c
CPU type : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz

If I boot my system with default BIOS settings (no overclocking), the CPU runs at 3.3GHz and powernow-k8 enables a maximum speed of 3.3GHz, as can be seen from the following:
[Code]....
Clearly, for some reason, powernow-k8 is mis-calculating the pstate 0 or maximum speed and this is reflected in the files within /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/ I have tried to update /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq, however despite the file being writeable by root, the change is not maintained. Other than setting the CPU policy to "Performance" rather than "On Demand", is there any way I can force the correct pstate 0 (maximum) CPU speed?

My desk-pc has an acer AL17AL17. I've tried to install fedora 12 (windows XP works perfectly) and -just starting- it gave me the message: "frequency not supported". I suppose I have to change it, but I don't know what I should do. The installation began, I selected to do a new installation and then, suddenly, the message.
Should I change it in windows? Which frequency do I have to use?
--> On fedora 12: I'm going to install the "Long Term Supported" 6.0 version, as knudfl told me. Anyway, now it doesn't give me that error.

I'm running OpenSuSE 11.3, upgraded from 11.1, with the Nvidia video driver. The font size for Yast, Firefox, and several other things is too small. I've tried changing it using the Appearance section of Personal Settings. That changes the font size in some contexts such as the window titles and task manager, but not in all contexts. In Firefox I've tried something similar, but it doesn't affect the font used in the tabs, function bar on the top, etc. The font in those parts of Firefox is the same as the one in Yast. So there's some other font setting around, but I haven't been able to find it. I've tried Google and SDB, but have no success searching there.

The Wikipedia says that the frequency of the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ is 2000 MHz.
For that processor, on FC 12 64 bit
cat /proc/cpuinfo
shows:
cpu MHz : 1000.000
for each processor.
Is that supposed to "add up" to 2000 MHz for both? My old GA-K8N-Ultra SLI motherboard has its BIOS set for "top performance", so I hesitate increase any clock speed or multiplier.

I have just upgraded my system to Fedora 14. One thing I noticed after running some applications on it is that it is not possible anymore to figure out on what frequency a wireless interface is using. If I set a wireless interface to monitor mode and perform the iwconfig or iwlist command, in the past, I could see the frequency used on the interface, but now, this information is not present anymore. My wireless interfaces are in monitor mode.
Has the frequency information been removed from iwconfig or iwlist commands? If it has, is there another way to report this information?
Here is an output from iwconfig on my system:

I have recenty installed OpenSuse and the desktop screen is perfect but there is a gap at the top of the screen when I open up the web browser. I have tried each of the screens listed on the disk but still can't get it to fit all of the screen on browser. Help would be appreciated but please bear in mind I am a newbie and first time user of openSuse so anything too technical will be beyond me although I will give it a go if the instructions are explicit!

I'm using Mangler and WoW under Wine. Mangler is quiet, WoW is not. I would like to write a script to adjust the volume of my Wine application (set it to say 50%) and then launch Mangler. The CLI page on the PulseAudio wiki offers
Code: set-sink-volume/set-source-volume But I am apparently missing the part of how to apply that to an application. Update: Solved with update to 1.1.2010227

On Slackware64 13.1 the as-installed en_GB locale gave Sunday as the first day of the week. This was not an issue until Xfce's Orage calendar was used when its display of Sunday as the first day of the week was offputting for someone used to Monday. A minor inconvenience but expected to be easy to fix.
At the command line:
Code:
c@CW8:~$ export LANG=en_GB <== same for en_GB.utf8

I wrote this script for bash & perl. If you run it in bash it should work. It changes title - (uuid) kernel - initrd ... to title - uuid UUID=the_uuid... kernel - initrd .... When I wrote it I replaced end of lines by . It's the second $block definition. But now I need to repair it, because I will work with the 1st $block definition. That is not to exclude end of lines, but leave it be untouched. Now when you escape the second $block definition, the code does not work. What I have to do to repair it working with multiline input data?
Code:
block="title Sata Mandriva
kernel (UUID=eab515e9-bc3e-4024-9f01-55fddaa0fb1c)/boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=UUID=eab515e9-bc3e-4024-9f01-55fddaa0fb1c resume=UUID=e12487ff-6d6f-44c4-9e03-33f545b3b798 splash=silent vga=788

I cannot seem to get e2guardian to work. I went into Ice Weasel to adjust the proxy connections but that just blocks off all internet activity. The problem seems to be with the configuration settings in the browser. I tried Privoxy with a completely new Debian install and have the same problem.

I have recently acquired "3RVX" for my windows gaming rig and have fallen in love with the fast, customizable volume adjustment offered by holding the windows key (or "super") and rolling the mouse wheel.

We just had daylight savings change (the clocks went back one hour at 2am). he machine that was on at 2am adjusted it's time on it's own. All the other machines (5 of them) were off at 2am are still on the 'old' time.Wwhat's the best way to ensure I don't have to adjust these manually next time daylight savings change? Maybe "ntpdate -s time.nist.gov &" in rc.local?

i have an hp pavilion dv7 and am using f13 64bit. my laptop has a built in woofer underneath that i have never been able to get to work. after the latest kernel update today my laptop now has woofer sound. there must be some new support for my laptops audio card. the problem is that it is a little overbearing. how can i a) disable this feature b) tweak the parameters like crossover frequency or gain? edit: i checked the changelog for 2.6.34 and couldn't find any info on any new audio support features.

I have a dell studio hybrid PC which I am hooking up to my TCL brand 40" LCD TV to use as a media center pc. The problem I am having is that I can't get the TV's native 1920x1080 resolution to display properly. The rendered desktop doesn't quite fit in the screen (I think its the top and bottom edges that are cut off) so for example the menu bar at the top is completely off the screen.
1680x1050 works fine in the sense that it fits the full desktop to the screen size, but its not the native res. In the resolution changer utility, it recognizes that my TV is a TCL brand but mentions 36 in the model name (the TV I have has 40 in the model name to denote 40") so I think Ubuntu is recognizing the wrong size TV. How can I finagle the screen settings to make the 1920x1080 fit properly on my monitor? Or get Ubuntu to correctly recognize my TV? My TV is a no-name brand so its hard to find info on it or others setting up linux with it.

I've seen several posts about adjusting the brightness on webcams within Ubuntu going through /sys/module/... /parameters/ however, I need directions for the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema specifically. It runs well with Skype but during the day the image is way too bright so I look like a ghost on cam. I'm running with UBUNTU 10.04 LTS *Lucid Lynx* on a DELL D620 laptop.

Just installed Fedora 13. How do I tell the new "PolicyKitOne" that I should be able to scale my CPU frequency without admin auth? In F12, there was a tool called polkit-auth, but it no longer exists. In fact, when I type in "polkit" and hit tab, nothing shows in the completion menu. Where's this thing hiding?

I have a n2pap-lite motherboard with a AMD Sempron 2800+. My host clock is at 133mhz when it needs to at least be at 166mhz to be a AMD Sempron 2800+... I installed the system on 100mhz clock not thinking that it mattered.
I tried the following
sudo apt-get install rcconf
sudo rcconf
*Disabled "ondemand"
It says on guides that it will ask me to reboot but it doesn't, so I manually did it and put the CPU Frequency Monitor on my taskbar. It does not have the options like it shows in the screenshots to set my CPU frequency..

I have the CPU frequency scaling applet in the panel and it worked fine when I had 8.10 but now that I'm using Karmic, I cant get it to work correctly!
It won't change the speed to what I tell it to. I click on a different speed and it does nothing.
The CPU spins too slowly and videos lag or it spins at full speed and overheats even though I have nothing open! I really need to be able to adjust it.
