2012-05-29 Thread Alexx Roche
I've installed 2.6.32-41-generic and replaced the fan on the motherboard, and performance has returned to normal. I've moved the CPU back to on-demand and scaling seems to be working again. So if someone else has an old laptop and all signs point to the CPU playing up... it might be the fan,

I really am starting to wonder if something has broken in my hardware, (am I the only one with this problem?) I thought that my CPU fan might be having problems but graphing that using ipmi and munin shows that the CPU seems ok, (though obviously the reporting could be bogus - that said just

2.6.32-41 installed and still not fixed. I've tried all of the kernels that I have, ( 2.6.31-14 2.6.31-20 2.6.31-21 2.6.31-22 2.6.31-23 2.6.32-38 2.6.32-39 2.6.32-40 2.6.32-41) and still get, (seemingly) random jumps down from 1.2 to 800 even though it is still set to performance. Sometimes they

with 2.6.32-40-generic #87-Ubuntu SMP I can change /etc/init.d/ondemand to performance and then I get the full CPU, (though it does not scale.) I have not tried compiling my own kernel to see if this is a debian/ubuntu issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

I followed the advice on http://askubuntu.com/questions/100730/how-to- upgrade-to-glx-1-3-on-ubuntu-10-04 and ended up with a broken X11 environment, (which, to be honest, the Xorg ppl said would happen.) I just applied last nights updates and am going for a reboot. -- You received this bug

At the risk of this report turning into a blog, I have an update. Firefox has not crashed in the last four hours, (so I think that problem is fixed.) I have been unable to determine a dependable kernel or pattern that would enable me to boot into a working system where the cores of my CPU are

hmm, not a great start to testing upstream. The well written document at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=showredirect=KernelMainlineBuilds#Installing_Mainline_Kernels did not match the archive at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.3-rc7-precise/ When I guessed

synaptic just wanted to remove the broken linux headers for the 3.3 kernel... so I let it and rebooted. Scaling still not working. I've booted into another old kernel and for now it seems to be working, (though in this case working means going at full power and never backing down which is
