Fedora Hardware :: 13: CPU Stuck At Minimum Frequency?
Jun 9, 2010
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

My AMD processor is a 5200 + and has its minimum frequency at 1GHz.
The ferquencias are used by cpufreq: 2700 Mhz, 2600 Mhz, 2400 Mhz, 2200 Mhz, 2000 Mhz, 1800 Mhz and 1000 Mhz .
My question is:
How could I tell for cpufreq use 1800Mhz as my minimum frequency?
Below, piece of my / etc / rc.d / rc.modules on the "CPU scaling governor"
[Code].....

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 was trying to install fedora 13 on my ESX box. Since it doesnt show me OS Type as Fedora(while I do have RHEL, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE etc)I checked Other Linux 64 bits. and by default it took 384 MB. When I started installing it says insufficient memory and did the text mode installation. What is the minimum RAm I should select for GUI Installation.

I need to create a special linux user account that has a very limited set of permissions on the system. Essentially to have read-only permissions for his home dir (and sub dirs) and nothing else - i.e. this user has no write or execute permissions and should not be able to read/access other user dirs or indeed anything outside of his home directory, irrespective of rwx permissions.

What are the bare minimum configuration files that would be needed to rebuild a RHEL server?We are thinking about creating a generic base image and then just copying over the necessary files (fstab, hosts, networking, etc) to get a failed system back up and running in the least amount of time possible. I am fairly new to Linux and have suggested that we have a share on a redundant server that is /server_configs/Svr_name/*.* (names are subject to change and *.* would be all of the pertinent config files to make a fresh build customized enough to emulate the failed server).Is this even possible and/or plausible?

Trying to make sense of this Linux stuff, by trying to install Fedora 14. First impressions are it?s a parallel universe populated by those who hark back to the era of Windows 3.1 / DOS, and earlier, where command line instructions and messing around with .ini files was all the rage. Which might all be a great little hobby to go back to, being more 'at one, and intimate' with my machine and learning a new skill to take some pride in, but all it means so far is my patience is being really tested by needing to learn it all from scratch!
The installation guides seem to suggest that if your graphics card is not good enough then the installation will default to the text based one. Which is what happened in my case. I can get to the login prompt after the installation, but that's the point where it gets really frustrating in having my machine think it?s a mid 1980s Commodore 64 or something!! Never mind PEEK and POKE, I just want to THUMP or KICK it.
I read somewhere I should start X Start to start the GUI. Nope, x start or xstart doesn't do anything. I then read that only works if I had installed X Windows. Can't find where or how I install X Windows though! I then read, as I say, things default to purely text if your graphics card is not good enough, but then I can't find anything about what the minimum spec is. Seems odd that a card that can cope with Windows can't work with a system as basic as linux/fedora with its frustrating command line-intensive way of working.
- what the minimum graphics card spec is to enable GUI?
- how to install this X Windows thing?

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.
Post added at 05:08 AM CST Previous post was Yesterday at 11:58 PM CST Well, it seems like the program take of authentication is mess up. I have the same problem when I tried to config my firewall. 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.

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?

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.

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 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.

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?

What is the minimum amount of processes that can be run and still keeping stable? I have what looks like over 100 processes running and my computer is lagging pretty bad. Attached is an output of
Code:
ps -A
And it comes and goes with the cpu usage. cpu1 will run at like 9 or 10 percent idle while cpu2 will run at 100 percent all the time. I am not sure whats going on. But id hate to have to start from scratch again begins I just got it set up the way i want it. And the network activity keeps having spikes when I am not online. I've scanned with multiple port scanners and nothing seems out of the norm.

I have a 32-bit Ubuntu installation that for technical reasons needs to be 64-bit even though it has under 4 gigs of ram. I don't want to spend loads of time upgrading it, and almost everything is from the repository. So what I am hoping is that I will be able to find a way to "save" the programs I have installed and then automatically reinstall them when I install the 64-bit OS, install my (2) non-repository programs, and then simply reload the old home directory. Would that work, and how would I do it?

Dell eStudio 1737, has good maximum volume, but when I turn down the volume to a little more than 1/2 way, it is already very low. All other volume controls are already set to maximum. What I would like to do is fix the volume control so that the volume can be set across the entire range of the Alsa mixer control.

After working for about 15 years on MS Windows, I have decided to to change over to Linux. I have a current netbook with 1 GB RAM. The only work I would be doing on the netbook are:
1) Surfing Internet using Firefox browser.
I would avoid saving anything on my disk while browsing. If I need to open files, videos, then I would be opening them directly in the browser while I am connected to the internet.
2) I would be writing code in Java using Java Standard Edition (not the enterprise one).
Those Java programs may need to use the network, graphics, sound- actually the programs will need to use any available Java API/Package/methods available in the Sun distribution of Java.
Now, For the above to jobs, I want to install the bare minimum, smallest linux on my netbook. I mus mention taht I do not want any Linux package/program/library that will not be required for the above two jobs. To rephrase this, I want to have only those linux components that are absolutely necessary for the above two jobs (Surifng the internet with full power on Firefox, and developing Java programs which may use _any_ functionality that is provided by the Sun distribution of Java Standard Edition.

So short-term needing a replacement for the various tools MS traps you into to make it easy to work with SQL Server.
I'm going to be using postgreSQL, and I'm wondering what's a good strategy as far as a GUI front-end.
1. No building from source. Don't have the time.
2. Keeps package dependencies to a minimum.
3. Won't require me to use KDE. My dev machine is too old to use KDE productively.

I recently installed openSUSE 11.4 64Bit on my desktop computer and it is running like a breeze! I have an Intel Dual Core 2.5 and 2GB of RAM and a NVIDIA 8400GS 256MB display card. I just want to know if 2GB of system RAM would be sufficient to run a Windows XP VirtualBox with 768MB of RAM assigned to it? PS - openSUSE is still the best of the best!

I'm running Win 7 on 3G ram on my host machine
I need to open an Ubuntu 10.04 VM in VMWare 7 and it needs to stay open for whole day for accessing some sites and connections.
I won't serve anything, just uses putty and sometimes firefox.
I run it on 256 MB but did anyone managed to run it under this. I don't know too much about linux and its deamons.
How can i disable them and which are useless for me ? for example i can see that evolution related deamon is running but i did not open it ever.
