| 00:48.21 | nomb | hello everyone its nate |
| 00:52.53 | nomb | anyone here? |

| 03:06.04 | stickster | Hi nomb |
| 03:06.33 | stickster | Was around earlier but I'm usually on another desktop so I miss any shouts not directed at me personally :-D |
| 03:10.19 | nomb | oh hello :D |
| 03:11.34 | nomb | I've been using the linux kernel book and got 2.6.20.1 installed with kvm, now im trying to install kvm but it requiers gcc 3.x and I already have 4... |
| 03:15.14 | nomb | ah crud fc6 comes with 4.x there isn't a 3.x in the repos |
| 03:21.03 | nomb | stickster: do you know much about freq scaling? |
| 03:21.39 | stickster | nomb: You can install compat-gcc-34 |
| 03:22.08 | stickster | There are a number of backward-compatibility packages provided in the compat\* namespace |
| 03:22.14 | nomb | hmm |
| 03:22.23 | nomb | maybe I'll give that a try then |
| 03:22.26 | stickster | As for freq scaling, not much more than the basics I'm afraid |
| 03:23.25 | stickster | There used to be a compat-gcc-296 but it looks like that's gone :-) |
| 03:23.27 | nomb | well i got a dual core and cpu 0 scales but cpu 1 doesn't (using the panel scaler) but in gkrellm it only shows frequencies for cpu1 but it shows cpu0's freqs. any iteas? |
| 03:24.36 | stickster | I have a dual core and from time to time I see my cpu1 flogging away at a low freq, hi temp, while cpu0 idles... /me smells bug |
| 03:24.42 | stickster | Have you checked Bugzilla |
| 03:24.51 | nomb | ya couldn't find anything |
| 03:24.55 | nomb | i did find however |
| 03:24.57 | nomb | in the /sys |
| 03:25.12 | nomb | directory if u keep following it to the scaling parts |
| 03:25.21 | stickster | right, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu* |
| 03:25.25 | nomb | right |
| 03:25.54 | nomb | under cpu0 there is a file along the lines of what cpu is controlled and it has a 0 but in cpu1 that file is blank |
| 03:26.07 | stickster | Dude, that is *bizarre*. |
| 03:26.16 | stickster | I was just looking at this today, this very morning. |
| 03:26.16 | nomb | and of course /sys is read only |
| 03:26.22 | nomb | :D |
| 03:26.28 | stickster | I had the opposite problem, where cpu1 had a "1" and cpu0 nothing |
| 03:26.42 | nomb | I don't get it |
| 03:26.48 | stickster | Roy Neary moment: "This means something..." |
| 03:27.14 | nomb | i wonder if anyone has a dual core working with scaling like it should |
| 03:27.47 | stickster | It's got to be related. Right now my system is acting fine, and if I "diff -u /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*" I see only a difference in crash_notes, probably expected |
| 03:28.05 | stickster | Ooo, wait |
| 03:28.13 | stickster | I see this: |
| 03:28.14 | stickster | Only in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1: online |
| 03:30.07 | nomb | i have that exact same line actually |
| 03:31.05 | nomb | ya :D you work it out and let me know :D |
| 03:31.19 | nomb | I wish i could change files in sys |
| 03:32.02 | nomb | I hate only scaling 1 |
| 03:32.54 | stickster | If you 'cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor' what do you see? |
| 03:33.23 | nomb | I installed them all but one sec |
| 03:34.05 | nomb | ondemand for cpu0 which is what i set |
| 03:34.15 | stickster | Also, sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq |
| 03:34.32 | nomb | and a blank line and then ondemand for cpu1 |
| 03:35.27 | nomb | does not exist for cpu0 |
| 03:35.38 | nomb | same for cpu1 |
| 03:36.02 | nomb | oh lol wait |
| 03:36.06 | stickster | What about /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq ? |
| 03:36.21 | nomb | cpu0 - 1000000 |
| 03:36.34 | nomb | same for cpu1 |
| 03:37.36 | stickster | I think that means they are both scaling; both are running at 1GHz |
| 03:37.49 | nomb | but they arne't |
| 03:37.57 | stickster | And it *looks* like both are running with the ondemand cpufreq policy |
| 03:38.02 | stickster | How can you tell? |
| 03:38.15 | nomb | let me just double check before i say |
| 03:38.53 | nomb | nvm I just proved myself wrong |
| 03:39.06 | nomb | i switched up the freq and checked the file again |
| 03:39.45 | nomb | it irritates me I can't have an icon per processor |
| 03:39.53 | nomb | is there any better program for monitoring? |
| 03:40.03 | nomb | the the add-on for the bars? |
| 03:40.43 | stickster | Hmm, I was using the cpufreq-applet for a while, then realized I spent too much time looking at it and not enough time working ;-D |
| 03:40.56 | nomb | what is that? |
| 03:40.57 | stickster | I put a dual temp sensor in my bar istead |
| 03:41.21 | stickster | Right click the panel, add applet, "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor" |
| 03:41.34 | nomb | thats what im using |
| 03:41.54 | nomb | dual doesn't work they both show cpu0 even if i right click on one and tell it to monitor cpu1 |
| 03:42.55 | stickster | Hmm, I'm seeing the same thing. |
| 03:42.59 | stickster | What kernel, etc are you using? |
| 03:43.28 | nomb | kernel 2.6.20.1 |
| 03:44.09 | nomb | u said yours does the same thing? |
| 03:45.13 | stickster | Yes, I'm on Fedora's 2.6.19-1.2911 |
| 03:45.16 | nomb | lets do a test to see if cpu1 will scale w/o cpu0 |
| 03:45.23 | nomb | i have gkrellm up monitoring load |
| 03:45.45 | nomb | i will do "while true; do true; done |
| 03:45.52 | stickster | They will. |
| 03:45.56 | nomb | to max out cpu1 and not cpu0 |
| 03:45.57 | stickster | Just use cpufreq-selector |
| 03:46.32 | stickster | I did "cpufreq-selector -c 0 -g performance" and "cpufreq-selector -c 1 -g ondemand" and then check the results in /sys/ -- works right. |
| 03:47.37 | nomb | not mine |
| 03:47.47 | stickster | ah |
| 03:48.58 | stickster | I'm using a Centrino Duo 2.33 |
| 03:49.19 | stickster | Or "T2700," whatever ;-) |
| 03:49.36 | nomb | I have the T2400 |
| 03:51.14 | nomb | error inserting kvm invalid module format? |
| 03:52.14 | stickster | *shrug* |
| 03:52.27 | nomb | ok |
| 03:52.50 | stickster | heh, http://mricon.livejournal.com/367381.html |
| 03:53.44 | stickster | Typical, icon blogs in two lines what I took a whole page to say |
| 03:54.13 | nomb | lol |
| 03:55.29 | nomb | this is the dmesg: kvm: exports duplicate symbol kvm_exit_arch (owned by kernel) |
