[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1390902] Re: [Z77 Extreme4] scaling_min_freq wrong on my Intel CPU

The upstream kernel did not fix the issue. Yet, cpufreq behaves
differently now (my guess: different/missing kernel modules):

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1390902] Re: [Z77 Extreme4] scaling_min_freq wrong on my Intel CPU

2014-11-11 Thread ahb
After two hours of getting my GPU driver to work again due to installing
and deinstalling mainline kernel package ...

Cause of problem found:
cpufreqd

If this package is not installed frequency scaling works - out of the
box.

Solution: Bann cpufreqd from repositories.

ahb, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please
report this problem to the appropriate mailing list (linux-pm) by
following the instructions _verbatim_ at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel ?

Please provide a direct URL to your e-mail to the mailing list once you
have made it so that it may be tracked.

Thank you for your understanding.

ahb, given the new information you provided, please ignore the request
to file this upstream. For now, let this be assigned to the cpufreqd
package for the specialist on that to review.

As well, would you be able to provide more information on your use of
cpufreqd (was it installed by default, did you configure it in any way,
etc.).

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1390902] Re: [Z77 Extreme4] scaling_min_freq wrong on my Intel CPU

2014-11-10 Thread ahb
I will try a BIOS upgrade on this machine later on.
However, I doubt it will change anything since I have to totally different 
machines exhibiting the same problem (and it worked on the machine above an 
12.04.5):

Machine 1: Lenovo X230 Laptop
Machine 2: Different desktop computer

Information for both machines is attached.

ahb, just to clarify, this report is only scoped to the Z77 Extrem4 hardware, 
not any other. If you are having a problem with different hardware, please file 
a new report, one per hardware combination, via a terminal:
ubuntu-bug linux

As well, please do not tar or compress files as it makes it harder for
developers to help you.

2014-11-10 Thread ahb
I'll comply to Ubuntu's bug procedure(s).
Yet, I think it is important from a developers point of view to know from the 
start that this issue is not related to a specify HW, but rather a more general 
problem (i.e. at least concerning the Z77 desktop, the X230 laptop and the Z87 
desktop).

Unfortunately, it is not possible to add multiple files to a single
comment.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1390902] Re: [Z77 Extreme4] scaling_min_freq wrong on my Intel CPU

2014-11-10 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
ahb, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the
very top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant
for testing in your release) following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional
upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into 
the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test 
the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once 
you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version 
specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please 
add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested exactly 
shown as:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.18-rc4

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil
icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
   Status: Confirmed = Incomplete

  A workaround that works on all of my systems is:
   cat cpufreq_workaround.sh
  #!/bin/sh
  min_freq=$(cat 
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies | awk { 
print \$NF })
