Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cpu-checker
When I open a terminal, I get: Your CPU appears to be lacking expected security protections. Please check your BIOS settings, or for more information, run: /usr/bin/check-bios-nx --verbose After running /usr/bin/check-bios-nx --verbose, I get: This CPU is family 15, model 3, and has NX capabilities but is unable to use these protective features because the BIOS is configured to disable the capability. Please enable this in your BIOS. For more details, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/CPUFeatures However, after flashing the BIOS, running the bootable Intel® Processor Identification Utility indicates there is no CPU support for XDB (execute disable bit, Intel's version of NX). I'm using Ubuntu 10.4, with cpu-checker version 0.1-0ubuntu2. I thought the information in the first message was correct, and I spent a lot of time trying to correct the problem. But apparently, the information was not correct, and my CPU does not have the NX (or XDB) capability.
