Re: intel_pstate vs acpi-cpufreq freq scale
After some discussion with Liquorix people (who are still not convinced by intel_pstate) http://techpatterns.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=12509#12509 I'm going to try out the new 'schedutils' option with acpi-cpufreq See how it goes eh.

Re: intel_pstate vs acpi-cpufreq freq scale
Dear Luis, Many thanks for your input and guidance here. 'Have you tried to see if this happens with debian's official kernel?' Doh! Of course. Yes I have now, and intel_pstate is active - yay. Complete newb with any kind of kernel config/tweaking/rebuilding - need to do some reading-up.

intel_pstate vs acpi-cpufreq freq scale
Hi all, I've got a new machine: LENOVO ThinkPad X230 i5 23252GG To replace my ol' trusty x61s. Fresh install of Sid, with liquorix 4.9-3 (2017-01-07) x86_64 kernel (for RT audio work). Have also installed linrunner's TLP. My understanding is that the x230's Ivy Bridge processor should make use of intel_pstate for frequency scaling but I can't seem to load the kernel module at boot. TLP (and other sources) are telling me the system has acpi-cpufreq running the frequency scaling. Have tried adding 'intel_pstate=enable' to grub (+ update-grub), no change (liquorix should load intel_pstate by defualt anyway, according to the docs). Have blacklisted the acpi-cpufreq module (which leaves me without any scaling - unsurprisingly:). Installed & uninstalled cpufreqtools & sysfsutils - no change either way. And am now going round in (ever frustrating) circles with this. Any advice gratefully received, and hope I've provided enough info - please let me know if not. Regards to all, Julian
Re: su chmod -755 /usr
Cheers Bob :) Uuummm - work files yes, system configs/settings not really. Any top tips, like where are the permission file/s?

Re: a start job is running for create volatile files and directories
"what has this to do with chroot?" THe reddit link mentions several times using chroot. Tmp folder has a couple of these type folders 'systemd-private-3d781014447746cca13e925310f41100-cups.service-b2Piz4', with empty tmp folders inside systemd also comes up in the links as a possible culprit but there isn't loads of files in tmp as mentioned in several links. Will do more digging and report back.

Re: a start job is running for create volatile files and directories
Hi Tomas, Cheers for the response. Ok - seems it would be useful to get to grips with 'chroot'. Also from recent posts it's not just me that finds printers a ball-ache. Would be happy with a quick dirty fix tbh. I know the Right thing would be to track it down and sort it properly but could I, for example, locate what's setting the 'no limit' and set that to 10ms? Or something.

a start job is running for create volatile files and directories
Hi all, I have this message "a start job is running for create volatile files and directories" when booting. There is then a "n's/no limit" while it counts up to approx 1m30'ish and then carries on booting. I'm pretty sure it's to do with installing printer drivers (from searching around) but I'd like to keep the printer driver. How can I make this go away? Had it on Debian 7 and have updated to 8 with no change in behaviour. Checked in the archives and can't find anything, or at least that text string. Many thanks in advance, Julian
Re: su chmod -755 /usr
Many thanks for the replies. (I did say I'm sketchy here) I was attempting to alter permissions on a folder. I then read that all folders leding up to it must also have permission altered. So I then mistakenly actually ran 'sudo chmod -755 /usr/lib/TheFolderIMeantToAlter' and all folders leading up to it /usr the [-] being the culprit (of course!!). Got to watch these late night system alterations. At some point sudo said NO. And I,being a schmuck, jumped to su to force the issue. All seems well, valuable lesson(s) learnt. Seriously thought it was terminal, appreciate the wisdom people.

su chmod -755 /usr
Hey all, Yes I'm an idiot... Not very experienced user here - 1st post: I mistakenly ran 'chmod -755 /usr'. How can I fix my permissions? Haven't rebooted yet, too scared. Currently getting around as root. Would prefer to avoid reinstall if possible. Cheers, Julian
