Re: [gentoo-user] CPU speed scaling quirk (Intel; Dell i660)

To reduce problems with emitted Radio Frequency Interference, most processors now use a clock that varies in speed over time. This doesn't really reduce the emitted energy, but because it is always changing frequency interference with other devices tends to be intermittent, and Ideally

[gentoo-user] CPU speed scaling quirk (Intel; Dell i660)

I've cobbled together a script to select cpu governors and speeds. One weird thing I've noticed is that reported cpu speed doesn't quite match the selected speed. E.g. on my machine (yours will vary)... cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies ...shows avalable

I'm running Kubuntu but have seen the black screen thing once or twice about a month ago. It hasn't returned for awhile. The problem I see about 1 out of every 3 days is ksplashqml crashes when first logging in. It doesn't seem to cause any long=term problems but it's frustrating. That's been

[gentoo-user] KDE weirdness after upgrade past Sunday.

Howdy, I did my usual Sunday upgrades the other day. There was a lot of upgrades to plasma and elogind it seems.  Let's add LOo in there as well just for giggles.  Anyway, I have a few oddities going on here.  I'm not quite sure what to make of it but wondering if anyone else has ran into this.

Yes, everything mounts when I explicitly say swapon -a.  No problems in /var/log/messages. Here's the output of swapon -sv: # swapon -sv Filename    Type Size    Used    Priority /swap   file 6291452 0   5 /dev/sdb1
