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.
I want to be able to disable CPU scaling, whenever I want. The reason is that I run some timing tests, and I want the results to be reproducable (ie the CPU running at the same frequency). I have tried the following on 9.10 and 10.04 (both amd64). I use rcconfig to disable "on demand" (from [URL] but then when I use cpufreq-info tool I get:
[Code]...
In order to save power and to cool down my Debian system a little bit, I installed cpufregs the other day and changed it the cpu gonever to on_demand.
Well I came back to the box today and powertop tells me that the cpu has been running at 2.66ghz (max freq) for 99/99% of the time.
Running cpufreq says this: Code: analyzing CPU 0:
driver: p4-clockmod
CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 1
hardware limits: 333 MHz - 2.67 GHz

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.
I've been trying to get lucid to work on my gateway netbook. The major problem I've seen is that it would overheat (to about 63 C or a little higher, and then the display would go crazy and crash. My BIOS doesn't support cpu scaling. Somewhere in a google search, someone mentioned the 2.6.34 kernel. I had no ideal what I was doing, and I installed this kernel. (could not install headers -- a dependency issue I didn't understand). Tried it, and it booted.
Saw some errors, like timer or something not found and something about a soft reset. However, it boots, and it works, and the temperature is much better (at least for the last 42 minutes: I've not been able to run it that long before). Are those errors likely to cause problems? Are there any issues I should be aware of using a non-standard kernel like this? I am dual booting with 9.10, which works well, and all my serious work is on the 9.10 partitions.

I am new to ubuntu. I have just one question, everytime I reboot my laptop the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor goes back to "On Demand." Why is that and can I also set it so it stays on Performance.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. CPU speed scaling says my CPU (AMD PhenomII 1090T) is not supported, and shows full speed on all cores, regardless of load. I've read that those issues were solved in kernel 2.6.34...
How can I make it work? or do I have to wait for an update?

i face problem with Firefox 3.6.11: smooth image scaling doesn't work. When i zoom in websites (ctrl +), images are not anti aliased, but appear pixelated, which is very ugly.
What I found out about so far, this seems not to be a FF problem (FF3 should support smooth image scaling), but a problem with the video driver, who tells X it could do smooth image scaling automatically but it cant. There is also a "bug" fix for the FF:

I am trying to set up my cpu freq. scaling to ignore BOINC. From what google has shown me this is done by setting a value of 1 for ignore_nice_load. However the location of said value does not seem to be the same in 10.04 as in the results from google. How do i set this or is there a better way to keep idle processes like BOINC from increasing the my cpu frequency?

Every time I try, I select 2GHZ, and re-open; then it's displayed that 500MHZ was selected. I'm unable to pick any speed, the computer has a mind of it's own in that sense. It's essentially stuck at 500MHZ for 98% of the uptime, which makes it impossible to do anything more than web browsing. Ex: I tried watching an HD video, I watched 5 min, and 1,400 out of the 10,000 or so were dropped!

I am running VirtualBox on a Windows XP host. I have two containers, one running Fedora 13 and the other running Debian 5. I set up the three printers I have at home on each system. The printers in Fedora work great. The same printers in Debian are disabled and will not print. I've also installed cups-pdf on each system. Works on Fedora, disabled on Debian. I don't know what is different. I set them up the same way with the same drivers, but I cannot enable or otherwise use the printers with Debian.
Is there some admin setting I'm not aware of to allow printing from Debian?
Suffering with a log in problems for user accounts but I have compounded it by accidentally disabling local log in!
Using CentOS 5 and from within the local root user I opened the log in screen preferences and then opened the Security tab. I then opened the "configer Xserver" and I have unchecked the "logins are handled by this computer". Now Since I have logged out of root all I have is the X cursor on a black screen and no log in. Obviously logins are not handled by this computer as I unchecked it! Is there anyway to get this back on as I cannot access this from another PC.
getting this occasionally in dmesg USB port nn disabled by hub (EMI?),re-enabling and I would like to know: What does the message mean, exactly? What is the actual hardware error code from the USB subsystem? Under what conditions would the root hub disable the port?Is it related to the USB power or the USB data lines? If it's power, what aspects of the USB power does the root hub monitor? Voltage out of limits? Current spike? Ground bounce?Can this power monitoring feature be turned off in the Linux driver settings?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI managed to half fix my earlier problem of being unable to clone my desktop monitor to my TV. I set the configuration to TwinView, and the resolution to the same as my desktop (Doh) and that seemed to at least get my desktop the way it used to be.
The problem now is the TV. It's cutting off a lot of pixels, and I can get it almost to fit if I enable flat panel scaling and set GPU Scaling Method to "Centered". However, when I restart the X server, it always returns to "Stretched".

I have a Core 2 Duo T9600. I noticed video playing performance has been really bad lately, and videos that used to work fine now stuttered. I would say it started happening 2-3 weeks ago. I discovered the culprit is that the CPU is scaling down to 800Mhz and sticking there. Running cpufreq-info yields:

I recently installed 10.04 and really like it so far, however I was wondering if it is possible to scale all hypertheading cores at once, currently I am using an applet for each and have to use several clicks to get into the desired powerstate.
I have read that with dual cores you will not have the option to go into different powerstates because it scales all cores at once, however the logical cores that show up with hyperthreading allow each to have a different power state, and will show up as different states if I use cpufreq-info in the terminal, so it seems like it is allowing it.
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

When I boot my machine (using a dual core 2ghz CPU) I always find myself out of "performance" mode (which I need), using only 1ghz per core.While this is easily fixable with "sudo cpufreq-set -g performance", I don't seem to be able to do it before having control of the machine. I would like to be able to boot with my CPU at full power.I would prefer to disable whatever is scaling down my CPUs to having to inject cpufreq-set to change governor. Anyone has any hint?I use default Ubuntu but I boot into a KDE4 desktop. But the same issue happens booting into the Gnome desktop.

I'm trying to figure out how to get 4:3 resolutions to display in their proper aspect ratio (black bars on either side of the image), rather than stretching to fill the whole screen. This is mostly for playing older games in fullscreen. I've tried messing with xorg.conf and xrandr a bit, but I didn't have much luck.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI need to create and access a very large number of directories (and by large I mean millions). Each directory's name consists only of numbers, which are incremented every time a new directory is created (so there will be directory 1, 2, and so on).Of course I could just dump all these directories under the same parent directory, but I reckon I would run into filesystem limits. Moreover, I presume that entry lookup is not a O(1) operation, which means that lookup does not scale well.
One solution is to use some sort of prefix tree for storing the data. In this scheme, the data for directory "1234" would actually be stored in "/1/2/3/4".This solution has the advantage that each subtree never has more than 10 entries, but the disadvantage of requiring as many individual lookups as the length of the path.There are also intermediate solutions: using a maximum of 100 entries per directory, "1234" would become "/12/34", per example.In order to choose the best scheme, I must know more about the scalability of directory lookup under Linux. What's the maximum reasonable number of entries for a directory before lookup becomes too slow? Does someone know exactly what are the limitations of the algorithm used for directory lookup?
For some reason, it seems that 13.37 isn't loading the modules I need for cpu frequency scaling. I've edited /etc/rc.d/rc.modules so that CPUFREQ is set to on. On 13.1, this would mean the powernow-k8 module would be loaded for my AMD cpu, and the subsequent "ondemand" governor would be loaded. However, for some reason this isn't being done during the boot process. I've tried it using both the generic kernel and the huge kernel (I'd been using huge for a long time before without realizing it.) Has anything changed in 13.37 with regards to CPU frequency scaling?
