[Bug 379873] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor reports incorrect CPU speeds when overclocked

2010-09-15 Thread BearTM
I can absolutely verify and confirm that I get the same results as
everyone in this thread:

Whether or not the CPU is running at 3.0GHz or is overclocked to 3.6GHz,
the reported speed always remains 3.0Ghz.

The output of both dmidecode and by checking the actual processing speed
with any application (bogomips), shows the exact overclocking ratio when
compared to stock - as expected.

While it is only a reporting issue, as the CPU performance is correct -
it does mean that I'm (always) multiplying the actual CPU speeds by 1.2
(3.6/3.0 GHz) for any performance calculations I might be doing.

The probable issue here is that dmidecode is collecting the correct bus
overclocking information from the BIOS, and using that in the
calculations; whereas cpufrequtils is either only collecting the stock
information, or is defaulting to a standardised set of values; if for
some reason the true information is unavailable (BIOS issues?). (ASUS
P5Q Motherboard)

I have to say ... OPINION is actually an interesting (and can be quite
useful) project status, however, I can absolutely CONFIRM this as an
issue, and am available for any further testing or analysis.

2010-08-01 Thread BearTM
Yes, the problem is still the same under Lucid - all latest updates:

Linux thundercat 2.6.32-24-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 5 09:20:59 UTC
2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Still the same machine and same processor ... have upgraded throughout and no 
change.
 9.10 full reinstall
10.04 synaptic upgrade

CPU has been overclocked from stock 3.00GHz to 3.60GHz.
This can be confirmed through dmidecode (output attached).
cpuinfo (and related utilities) all report the stock CPU speeds instead.

This is only a visual/reporting issue. The CPU is still throttling
correctly, and the speed is correct as per the overclocking ratio.

i.e. (tested and confirmed in benchmarks  Bogomips)
Reported 2.00Ghz = (3.6/3.0 * 2.0) = 2.40GHz True Clock Speed
Reported 3.00Ghz = (3.6/3.0 * 3.0) = 3.60GHz True Clock Speed

Fully up to date BIOS, (ASUS P5Q) - BIOS options standard except for
overclock.

Output of dmidecode and cpuinfo attached.

Regards,
Robert.

[Bug 318465] Re: Logitech MX5000 doesn't connect via bluetooth under ubuntu

2009-05-11 Thread BearTM
I'm using the Logitech MX5500 Bluetooth, and other than needing to add
the numlockx startup fix, everything is now working out of the box on
Jaunty 9.04 (fresh installation). I no longer need to use the USB HID
mode (disable bluez) as I did in 8.04 and 8.10, and instead finally!
have both keyboard and mouse (MX Revolution) paired properly through the
Bluetooth Manager. Bluetooth devices (headphones) also work through the
same dongle.

The only thing I need to do on startup is 'bash' on the modifier keys
(Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Super, Caps Lock) at least once before trying to use
the keyboard.

Possibly there is something in bluez which is not initialising the
keyboard 100% properly - i.e. the problem which Jack is experiencing and
my modifier keys issue above may somehow be related.

This also happens after the computer has been idle (screen black, or
screen saver starts), and I've become quite used to toggling all
modifiers before starting work again. So it may or may not have anything
to do with bluez itself, or it may have something to do with power
management or other system elements.

Robert.

[Bug 204991] Re: update-manager leaves screen gray after sudo authentication

2008-04-17 Thread BearTM
I have the same effect happening - specifically with gksudo. The screen
remains 'darkened', and I can subsequently move windows around and 're-
paint' the sections of the screen. Similarly, moving over buttons,
panels, etc. which are redrawn, also corrects the screen display.

XFCE desktop / mythbuntu installation, compiz installed and active,
nVidia Twinview monitor setup. The effect happens at all screen
resolutions, so it is not video memory (128Mb) dependent. I also have
some corruption when windows are initially drawn (window edge trails),
but this is minor.

Unfortunately, the same issue is still happening ... can't seem to
figure out what/why this would be happening, as it's always occurring
when there is no MythTV usage. XMLTV grabber appears to complete
perfectly ... about to try disabling anything/everything else just to
see what (if any) interaction may be at fault.

Again - unreportable because of obsolete packages (which weren't
involved in the crash itself) ...

[Bug 211700] Re: mythfilldatabase crashed with SIGSEGV in QMutex::lock()

2008-04-12 Thread BearTM
Unfortunately the story is still the same - when everything is idle,
there is an unexplained crash. Again I have simply restarted the
machine, and left it idle. No access, no MythTV usage, only samba access
which works flawlessly, and was not occurring at the time of the crash.

The only thing I can come up with which could be happening at 5am would
be an XMLTV Listings update. However, the listing information appears to
be completely available and valid/correct within MythTV. Possibly this
is occurring during a cleanup/update information operation after the
XMLTV Listings update. As I reside in New Zealand, I'm using the
tv_grab_nz-py script to perform the update (download/source can be found

Again - can't upload full report (more updated dependency packages!), so

[Bug 204451] Re: xfce4-mixer-plugin crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_instance_is_a()

2008-03-29 Thread BearTM
After many days of frustration with this machine, I now believe that
this crash is principally due to hardware/configuration failure instead
of software, and this bug report should potentially be closed off.

The Motherboard BIOS settings were somehow corrupted and changed without
my actually doing this, and this appeared to occur randomly on reboot.
In the latest instance, not only was the CPU underclocked (bad Memory
Bus timings - 100Mhz instead of 200Mhz), but the PCI Bus timing was set
to Manual, and was overclocked to 75Mhz instead of the default 66Mhz. If
this was the case during the above faults, it would definitely lead to
issues with valid data availability on the PCI bus, and could lead to
other lockup issues, which, while they are reproducible, are not due to
application software. The probable effect was that the AGP Video card
(nVidia) could cope with the faster bus, but the sound card was entirely
unable to and caused the fault.

Replacing the CMOS Battery, cleaning and rebuilding the machine, and
reconfiguring the BIOS correctly to proper defaults has now solved
this problem. The machine does not exhibit this failure anymore, without
any software changes made, other than applying the most recent 8.04
updates. Very strange that the CMOS checksum did not fail in any of
these conditions ... so I'm not entirely sure what or why this was
happening, and/or if there is a fault in the BIOS itself. Will research
further independently.

[Bug 14135] Re: Grub Install Failure

2008-03-13 Thread BearTM
I have been experiencing the exact same issue. In order to complete the
installation, I physically remove and disable the additional SCSI
drives, and only then can I install Ubuntu. Then comes the job of
putting everything back in, and thankfully, the first boot then
completes without any issues, all drives are mounted and visible, and
life is good from then on. It's only the installation and specification
of the drives (and mounts) which causes grief.

My configuration: (for a MythTV/RAID/Ubuntu box - Using Mythbuntu)
ASUS P4B533-E / 2Gb / P4 2.8GHz
- Onboard Standard PATA (3 Drives + DVD R/W 2nd/Slave)
- Onboard Promise FastTrack 133 RAID PATA (4 Drives - Used in s/w RAID5)
- PCI Promise Ultra TX/100 PATA (4 Drives - Used in s/w RAID5)

Boot in BIOS is set to Onboard PATA first. Drives are in order: 160Gb
(Boot), 300Gb (Storage), 40Gb (Windoz XP), DVD R/W

Trying to install Ubuntu on the 160Gb drive I experience the GRUB
issues:

1). With all drives in the machine, the boot drive is recognized as /dev/sdi, 
and not /dev/sda (as might be expected). No success ever getting GRUB to work 
through the installer. Specifying explicitly the drive to install on will not 
work.
2). Removing the drives, but leaving the BIOS (both Onboard and TX/100 enabled) 
also leads to failure, even though drive is correctly detected as /dev/sda. 
Alone the presence of the controllers / BIOS causes the GRUB failure.
3). Only when removing all drives, physically removing the TX/100, and 
disabling the onboard RAID BIOS will GRUB be able to successfully install. This 
is akin to changing the entire machine in order to get things to install - 
although Ubuntu has no problems afterwards using the 
drives/controllers/hardware/etc.

After this, one other 'odd' thing ... the only way I'm able to
successfully (or properly) mount drives (/etc/fstab) is to always use
the GUID methodology. This works reliably. Specifying /dev/sdaX does not
work, and leads to the incorrect drive being mapped to the mount point
each and every time. The drives swap ordering if specified in
/etc/fstab. Very frustrating and odd.

Annoying that the full install can complete, and then it fails writing
the GRUB boot ... *sigh*
