Mar 8, 2010How's the X2 in terms of compatibility with F12. I see some deals that tempt me to pick up a cheap small desktop and those desktops use that AMD chip (along side an ATI Radeon) I prefer sticking with intel and maybe build my own, but I am curious about how AMD holds up in performance and/or compatibility with Fedora

Debian :: Wheezy Only Recognizes 1 Core Or Dual Core CPU?
Sep 7, 2011I have now installed Wheezy on two different hard drives and in each case it seems only one CPU of my dual core CPU computer is recognized. System Monitor, Gkrellm and lscpu show just one when prior to the new install the old Wheezy showed both CPU's. I have put the hard drive into two other computers with dual core CPU's and all show just one CPU.
Interestingly System Profiler and Benchmark (hardinfo?) > Devices > Processors now show a large amount of processor infomation when with the old Wheezy I would only see both CPU's listed and nothing else.
General :: Only One Core Of Dual Core Processor Are Working
Mar 14, 2011I recently read in a forum that by default the Linux kernel only activates one of two cores in a dual core processor. Searching online gave one option to find out and that was the mpstat command. I therefore ran the command and got the following output.As the result says, it shows only 1 cpu. I was wondering what I could do to activate both cores in my machine, and whether doing so was going to cause me any problems.

Apr 28, 2011A few days back, I burned a CD with Ubuntu 10.10 (maverick?). Have since installed 10.10 on an old desktop (pentium ii, 1.15 ghz) and it boots up ok - (apart from a 'freeze' issue which varies from 10 mins to 2 1/2 hours) Anyway, my immediate problem is I'm using the SAME CD to install 10.10 on a AMD Athlon laptop (which previously ran Windows XP). The installation process starts with the usual: TRY/INSTALL screen - I select INSTALL. The whole process runs for about 40 mins, using the entire 60gb drive (I've got rid of XP). The final few messages are: 'installing system', 'copying installation logs' 'installation complete' - 'restart now'. So, the CD is ejected after which I get a string of '2380 nnnnnn i/o error device sector 533280'messages. Then, 'will now restart' At the restart, up comes the UBUNTU screen and the intro clip...and there it stays. My question, does anybody know what could be happening - if anything?? Remembering that this CD was installed on the desktop.

May 27, 2010Interested to find out if this is normal or not. I am running a Intel Core 2 Duo processor and the system monitor keeps showing one of the cores at 100%, and the other fluxuating normally. Is this normal or a bug with the system monitor. I am running Compiz, but that is pennies to the comp. It seems that about every 1.5 minutes the cores "swap" the 100% usage, but it always ends up with one core at 100% and the other core doing normal stuff.

Ubuntu :: 1 Of 2 CPUs Always Stuck At 100% Acer Asprire 5738G Dual Core?
May 1, 2010I have fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Added Wine from Software Center but have no any Win apps loaded or running yet. I have also enabled visual Effects and the system installed and enabled NVidia's driver for the video-card after which the picture quality improved.
Here is the screen of my CPU monitor (sorry labels arre in Russian but the charts are quite intuitive) As you can see this 100% load "jumps" from one core to another periodically. On the Processes tab there is nothing fancy:
Less than 10% processes load. I have tried to play with CPU Clock Gnome widget, it doesn't really change the picture whether I use MAX CPU clock of 2Ghz or reduced power-saving 1,2 GHz. I have found couple similar cases on forum but see no solution so far.BTW, I have already launched the update manager and currently Ubuntu does not offer any new updates.

Ubuntu :: Should Flash Player Be Using 60% Of My Dual Core Cpu - Ati Drivers - Pics Inside
May 3, 2010Now this is a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04. I have done nothing but follow the steps on installing flash and ati driver from the main site. I have this problem on my desktop too which also has ATI graphics but with a AMD cpu. The desktop was upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 and the driver installed from ATI site like my laptop. This is really troubling because while the video is in full screen its using over 90% of my cpu?? Then my laptop gets really hot so I just switch back to Windows 7(which only uses 15%). Last time I had this problem was with the FGLRX proprietary drivers on Ubuntu 9.10 with the desktop.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04.1LTS Freezes In Pentium Dual Core Laptop?
May 6, 2011I have installed Ubuntu10.04.1LTS in my Desktop amd64 computer. I also downloaded the same version for i386 processors and tried to install the OS for my HCL Pentium Dual Core T4300 @2.1Ghz 4GB RAM laptop, details of which are given in the following two screenshots: dscf0105.jpg and dscf0106.jpg I already have Debian Lenny 5.0.4 installed on the laptop dscf0104.jpg and the laptop works fine when I run the Debian OS or Knoppix liveCD image stored in the HDD of the laptop. We all know that the Ubuntu LTS live CD leads to the following option: Screenshot.jpg However, in my laptop the operation freezes before we can reach the above option. The screenshot explains the situation: dscf0107.jpg I know I could always use one of the alternate downloads and install the OS from it. But my point of contention is: where is the matter going wrong? Can't we use the graphical installer CD to do a CUI installation?

Fedora Hardware :: I7-640M Dual Core Recognized As Quad?
May 27, 2011I installed Fedora 15 on my relatively new Laptop machine and stumbled upon an odd thing:Even though my CPU is an Intel i7-640M dual core (2x 2.8 Ghz) it somehow seems to be recognized as a quad. System monitor shows 4 CPUs (all of the used to some extend) and even "cat /proc/cpuinfo" gives me 4 processors:
Code:
processor: 0
vendor_id: GenuineIntel
cpu family: 6

At the same time the system (while relatively stable) is incredibly slow when it comes to complicated calculations (I do neuron simulations on a custom C++ framework).

Dec 14, 2010I have a question that has been partially answered in other posts and forums but I am still unclear. Please can someone help me out? I was previously using an Intel Atom 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM and the onboard Intel graphics adaptor for use as a media center PC. This was running Lubuntu and I could use Flash at full screen without any issues.
I have since decided to upgrade to an Acer Revo R3610 (Dual core Intel Atom 1.6GHz, 4GB RAM, Corsair SSD and Nvidia ION grpahics). I thought that as this machine was more powerful than my previous one, I could get away with ditching Lununtu and go for Ubuntu 10.10 (x86).
I have updated the machine and installed the latest Nvidia drivers. When I browse to a Flash based site all runs fine until I go to full screen then I get about 10FPS (sound remains fine). The video is unwatchable. I rebuilt the machine using Windows 7 Ultimate (x86) and tested again. Under Windows the video plays perfectly.
I have also tried using the 10.2 beta version of Flash under Ubuntu and this gives the same terrible results. I am at a loss as to where the issue lies. Is it with Nvidia's driver, Adobe's Flash under Linux or is it my Ubuntu build?

Ubuntu :: Aspire One 521 Athlon II Neo Procesor K125 Installation
Aug 9, 2010Trying to install 10.04 and remix 10.04 in model AO521-3165 Aspire One 521 Athlon II Neo Procesor K125 gives an installation failure. (Tested in several AO521 giving the same result all of them with the latest bios update)
a) The first message: Disabling IRQ # 18
b) 10.04 in mode installing without modification gets into a 3 sound loop and then halts completely.
c) remix in mode installing without modification gets into the gnome screen but the keyboard is completely dead.
d) Installing both of them in the hard disk can partition hard disk but then the system asks the name and password and again the keyboard is dead.
Here is another message trying to install BackTrack4R1 giving maybe more clues: [Firmware bug] PCI MMConfig at (mem 0xe0000000 - 0xe03fffff not reserved in ACPI motherboard resources i8042.C: Can�t read CTR while initializing i8042 irq18 nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpool" option) Disabling IRQ #18

Ubuntu :: Booting The Live-cd From An AMD Athlon And Encountered Fd0 Error On 0

I can insert the floppy drive but doubt that would work?

Debian :: CPU Temperature Monitoring Question On Athlon II X2 250?
Sep 24, 2010So i hava a ASUS M3N78-VM mobo and recently i got a Athlon II 250 CPU tp replace my aging Athlon 3200+. I installed the BIOS update 1407 that includes support for this CPU. I have Debian Squeeze installed.
I have installed the 2.6.35 kernel from experimental and this has the k10temp module that is made for the k10 series AMD CPUs (Athlon II etc). But there is also the atk0110 ACPI module that gets sensor readings fom voltages, MB and CPU temps from the motherboard (i think so). The issue is this: if i run sensors i get this:
Code:
# sensors
atk0110-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
Vcore Voltage: +1.07 V (min = +0.80 V, max = +1.80 V)
[Code]...
Notice the difference between the 2 module's reported temperature for the CPU (34 C vs 19.2 C). I rebooted the computer and entered the BIOS - it has shown the values shown by the acpi sensor (it increased rapidly to 38-39 but gone back to 34-35 after i loaded the OS). Does this mean that the k10temp module reports erroneous temperature or that everybody else (BIOS + ACPI sensor) is wrong and i have an ice cool CPU?
