[Bug 363868] Re: BIOS does not provide ACPI _PSS objects in a way that Linux understands, Foxconn A7GM-S 2.0

2010-04-14 Thread David Gaarenstroom
@Darko:
What I meant was that not being able to install or run Ubuntu can not be caused 
by this kernel warning, but if you want to avoid the warning you may have to 
take a look at your BIOS. Gigabyte sometimes has hidden options that you can 
uncover by pressing - from the BIOS main screen.

What can be a problem is when you have enabled customized CPU
frequency/voltage settings in your BIOS, because the powernow-k8 will
undo these settings. This is often more harmful than leaving them be and
you cannot avoid powernow-k8 doing so because since 9.04 it is built-in
in the kernel...

If any package is related it should be the "linux" kernel package,
definitely not usplash. However, this is only a BIOS
capability/configuration issue, so I'm also changing the status to
invalid.

2010-04-13 Thread David Gaarenstroom
AFAIK, If you placed your DSDT.aml in /etc/initramfs-tools/ a kernel
change does not require any additional action... Only if you update your
BIOS you should generate a new DSDT based on the new BIOS.

On all 4 AMD platforms I can test on, I've never seen this problem. You
should look at each platform individually. I noticed only one
dmidecode.txt, so I wasn't aware of additional platforms.

Maybe you can post me the details on the other platforms to my email
address, it's probably of no use to keep discussing this here, but maybe
I can be of any assistance to you...

2010-04-13 Thread David Gaarenstroom
@Tom Pringle: even though you get the same kernel warning (symptom), for
you this is a different situation, because you are using completely
different hardware (cause). That is also why I think similar bug reports
for different hardware should not be merged.

AFAIK, there can be three main causes for this warning:
1) Your BIOS is not configured to support C 'n' Q
2) Your BIOS is incomplete
3) You are using a different (newer) CPU than the ones your motherboard supports

For Lenovo I know they offers _incomplete_ ACPI information, you will
have to override your ACPI data by using a custom DSDT. You should be
able to find some howto's on the Internet, I don't have the full
details...

But either way, these bug reports do not apply to any software in
Ubuntu, except that you cannot use a customized powernow-k8 driver
because this module is built into the kernel image...

I cannot access your motherboards manual without having to register, but
in your BIOS you should probably look at the CPU configuration setting
for something called "Cool 'n' Quit", "Dynamic Clock" or "Frequency
Scaling" that should be "Enabled". Do not use "Auto", because that may
only work on Windows. If you you cannot find such an option, you may
have an option "AM2 Boost" instead, please disable that (only if there
is no C 'n' Q option)...

[Bug 355232] Re: acpi-cpufreq/powernow-k8 should not be built-in into the kernel image

2010-02-05 Thread David Gaarenstroom
First of all, such a kernel command-line option would be great... It
will be a nightmare to write it and maintain it though. Go ahead and try
to do it, please! I honestly would be thankful. I doubt it will be in
time for Lucid...

Loading all modules is what is already done, except the modules are
built-in. So that "major reason" is invalid. Actually, it can only get
better than what we are now at (some cpu's are supported by both
speedstep and acpi-cpufreq, and there isn't a best one in all situations
and the acpi-cpufreq driver actually tries to support any processor, but
fortunately it can't). It's not all "code that is raw assembler and ...
know the precise magic". Every current processor (Intel, AMD and VIA)
has its northbridge integrated, so all you have to do is look at the PCI
ids, you can even get udev to it automatically (and decide what's best
for some corner cases).

About your "key point", please point me one processor that comes with
their lowest frequency enabled?! In contrary, a lot of AMD systems are
actually better of without cpufreq support, because their "Black
Edition" often has a higher multiplier enabled in the BIOS than what the
vanilla powernow-k8 driver supports. So after loading the powernow-k8
driver, you will never get back that higher frequency setting.

(By the way, all applicable cpufreq drivers are written completely in
C.)

Your BIOS does not provide the necessary information for powernow-k8 to

For what it's worth, it is in commit
495f78bd6d8f7a5e35dd962031eb6e639d83e438, which IMHO should be reverted:

   UBUNTU: Build in CPU Frequency scaling drivers

Selecting the right CPU Frequency scaling driver is complicated from
userspace, involing a nasty shell script that attempts to guess by
grepping through /proc.

The kernel drivers themselves can adequately determine whether they
should be used, building them into the kernel will automatically select
the right one.

These aren't something you would want to unload either, you would
instead simply change the governor.

rtg - Added debian/abi/2.6.28-8.23/modules.ignore to accomodate the missing 
modules.

Signed-off-by: Scott James Remnant 
Signed-off-by: Tim Gardner 


- First of all, the kernel does not (and simply cannot) always adequately 
determine which one is the best driver to use for someones hardware (especially 
when choosing between speedstep-centrino and cpufreq-acpi). And even if it 
does, so would lets-modprobe-just-about-any-driver do. 

- They are something you would want to unload in realistic situations, 
especially since:
  * Some people prefer NOT to have a cpufreq driver, that's why it is a config 
option in the first place. There are systems known to consistently trigger a 
"pending-bit stuck" when using the powernow-k8 driver.

  * AFAIK the Ubuntu team wants to achieve a faster boottime, not
slower. Compiling in all drivers slow down booting noticeably. You don't
need them to boot either, so they can be postponed until a bit later.

  * Newer processors may not be supported until a new kernel is
distributed, unless a custom module can be loaded. This is true for AMD
0xf family processors with more than 1 low power state. Also for all
Black Edition AMD processors, the powernow-k8 driver does not support
using their unlocked multiplier and probably never will because AMD
doesn't want that feature in their powernow-k8 driver. The Linux-PHC
project provides such drivers that can be installed/maintained by the
DKMS.

  * You may want to use a modified module, that enables undervolting, to
maximize their battery life or reduce extreme heat by reducing the
processor's power consumption. The Linux-PHC project provides such
drivers. There is a large audience that uses them...

[Bug 188739] Re: AMD turion does not have support for c states

2009-04-14 Thread David Gaarenstroom
The patch is harmless, it only adds accounting for time in C1E, so that you can 
see in powertop, that your system is actually idle for e.g. 95% of the time. It 
does nothing besides that. C1E is supported just fine in a vanilla kernel, it 
has nothing to do with tickless (except that you cannot see the idle time in 
powertop on any system without tickless, but that's in general).
I think you're missing the point. It does not save any additional power, it 
just adds performance counters for it.

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pybootchartgui

When using pybootchartgui as GUI, the up/down slider does not get updated when 
you zoom in with the mouse. Therefore, when you zoom in, you'll never be able 
to see the bottom of the chart, because you cannot slide to that part. E.g. 
when you zoom in 4x, the slider will only allow you to slide over the upper 1/4 
part.

2009-04-05 Thread David Gaarenstroom
+1 as well...

To actually add some more reason: I own a AMD based system. Because
acpi-cpufreq is build into the kernel, loading it actually SLOWS DOWN
booting my system. The only drivers that should be considered to be
build in, are modules required to boot! acpi-cpufreq and powernow-k8 are
never required to boot a system!

There are probably over 1000 Ubuntu users that are actively using PHC
modules to lower their systems power consumption or even to unlock more
cpu scaling frequencies... So please solve this issue ASAP.

[Bug 46384] Re: powernow-k8 doesn't get all fid/vid for AMD Turion ML37

2009-03-18 Thread David Gaarenstroom
Officially, 2000, 1800, 1600 and 800MHz are the only fids supported by AMD for 
Turions:
- only one "low" frequency <= 1400MHz 
- and the rest >= 2 * (low frequency) - 2 starting at 1600MHz with steps of 
200MHz to the designed maximum.

For both the ML32 and ML34, that would be 1800, 1600 and 800.

To be able to use the unofficial fids you will have to use the Linux-PHC
AMD driver with "direct_transitions" by me ;-) or something similar. You
will then have 13 different fids (800 to 2000 with 100MHz steps) to
choose from.

2009-03-13 Thread David Gaarenstroom
The Acer Aspire 3000WLCi doesn't seem to come with a Turion ML37, but
with a Sempron. Perhaps that's why your BIOS doesn't support it
properly? What BIOS version are you using, version "3A32"? Perhaps you
can try the "Vista" BIOS as well.

Either PSB or _PSS is required to be present in your BIOS information
for Linux frequency scaling to work (if it isn't defined in another
way). I just meant that Windows 2000 won't work either if neither are
present in your BIOS (ACPI) information.

The Aspire 30xx and Aspire 50xx indeed seem to be alike (and I know for
certain 302x and 502x are in fact identical) and there may be a Ferrari
notebook that is identical as well, except for its casing. However, I
wouldn't know which one is. But the Ferrari's are better and longer
supported.

At tuxmobile.org no-one mentions any difficulty with the frequency-
scaling of this notebook. Have you tried other Linux distributions/live-
CD's? I suspect the Turion is just not supported by the BIOS.

2009-03-11 Thread David Gaarenstroom
I can't seem to find what Acer you are using?! My Acer Aspire 5024WLMi
should be older, with a Turion ML-34, but its BIOS is fine. Remember
that either a PSB or _PSS object is required for Windows 2000 to work!

(Offtopic: I'm actually the writer of the Linux-PHC (Processor Hardware
Control) phc-k8 driver and I think I can adapt the phc-k8 driver
somewhere in the future to "guess" a powerstate table, without any ACPI
usage whatsoever. I may need your help for testing it when it's ready...
Maybe (then) I'll even succeed in getting it merged into the vanilla
Linux kernel.)

2009-03-10 Thread David Gaarenstroom
As for the *original* bugreport, this dmesg output:

Jun 26 20:55:57 lappy kernel: [ 494.227246] powernow-k8: BIOS error - no
PSB or ACPI _PSS objects

Tells me that your BIOS is broken. This cannot be fixed by the Linux
kernel.

Please verify whether there is a more recent BIOS for your system, perhaps your 
manufacturer has already released a fix. If not, you could request them to do 
that. Also, perhaps there's a custom ACPI "DSDT" for your system available for 
Linux that provides a PSB or _PSS table. There are some HOWTO's available that 
will help you do that.
It could also be that a BIOS option is blocking the PSB or _PSS objects, 
something in the line of "intelligent power managment" or so. My Asrock 
motherboard has such an option, I don't remember what it is called.

(I'm not immediately switching the status of this bugreport to "Invalid"
as I will wait for your feedback first)


As for all the noise in this bugreport, please fill in your own bug reports...

Have you tried to load "processor" first, as it says? E.g.:
sudo modprobe processor && sudo modprobe powernow-k8

Please send the output of "dmesg" after a fresh startup, that can
explain more about your system, especially the available ACPI data,
etcetera.

[Bug 46384] Re: powernow-k8 doesn't get all fid/vid for AMD Turion ML37

2009-03-09 Thread David Gaarenstroom
Officially, 2000, 1800, 1600 and 800MHz are the only fids supported by AMD for 
Turions:
- only one "low" frequency <= 1400MHz 
- and the rest >= 2 * (low frequency) - 2 starting at 1600MHz with steps of 
200MHz to the designed maximum.

For both the ML32 and ML34, that would be 1800, 1600 and 800.

To be able to use the unofficial fids you will have to use the Linux-PHC
AMD driver with "direct_transitions" by me ;-) or something similar. You
will then have 13 different fids (800 to 2000 with 100MHz steps) to
choose from.

[Bug 317238] [NEW] dkms does not remove module config lines it adds

2009-01-14 Thread David Gaarenstroom
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dkms

Description:Ubuntu 8.10
Release:8.10
Platform:   amd64

dkms:
  Installed: 2.0.20.4-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 2.0.20.4-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 2.0.20.4-0ubuntu2 0
500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


On an "ADD" event, dkms installs "MODULES_CONF" lines into /etc/modprobe.d/dkms
However, it does not remove these on an "REMOVE" event, because the dkms script 
lacks a reference to /etc/modprobe.d/dkms. 

The following snippets from /usr/sbin/dkms says it all:
--8<--
function moduleconfig_add ()
{
# $1 = kernel version

local temp_dir_name=`mktemp -d $tmp_location/dkms.XX`
modconfig_files=""
[ -e /etc/modprobe.d/dkms ] && modconfig_files="/etc/modprobe.d/dkms"
[ -e /etc/modules.conf ] && modconfig_files="/etc/modules.conf"
[ -e /etc/modprobe.conf ] && modconfig_files="$modconfig_files /etc/modprobe
.conf"
--8<--

--8<--
function moduleconfig_remove ()
{
# $1 = kernel version

local temp_dir_name=`mktemp -d $tmp_location/dkms.XX`
modconfig_files=""
[ -e /etc/modules.conf ] && modconfig_files="/etc/modules.conf"
[ -e /etc/modprobe.conf ] && modconfig_files="$modconfig_files 
/etc/modprobe.conf"
--8<--

As you can see, the moduleconfig_remove function doesn't do anything
with /etc/modprobe.d/dkms at all.


By the way, if /etc/modules.conf exists, dkms is also completely forgotten 
about. I guess that for both functions, the following should be the best 
replacement code:

[ -e /etc/modprobe.d/dkms ] && modconfig_files="/etc/modprobe.d/dkms"
[ -e /etc/modules.conf ] && modconfig_files="$modconfig_files 
/etc/modules.conf"
[ -e /etc/modprobe.conf ] && modconfig_files="$modconfig_files 
/etc/modprobe.conf"

2008-10-13 Thread David Gaarenstroom
Well, I'll try to be polite, but if you could actually take the time to read...
- This bug is not caused by the apt.wxwidgets.org version, it was solve by 
using it, but that repository has nothing to do with this bug report!
- I get this problem when upgrading from gutsy, as well as a clean hardy 
install. When I say clean, I mean clean: out of the box, direct from a 8.04 
live CD installed and apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8.  
- Please unpack the .deb, e.g. from 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/python-wxgtk2.8, you will see there that it's 
simply not there, "postinst":

update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/wx/python/wx.pth  wx.pth \
  /usr/lib/wx/python/wx2.8.pth28

Now YOU point me where it is linking /usr/lib/python2.5/site-
packages/wx.pth to something.

By the way, postinst is using "/bin/sh" as shell, which for me is
/bin/dash, but that does not seem related.

wxWidgets apps still don't work out-of-the-box and still need the "import

are using this workaround, or else they would not work AFAIK. It is best to use

The most important point of this bugreport was to get conservative
support into guidance-power-manager, not necessarily as the preferred-
over-ondemand one. But without ondemand, conservative should be the
alternative, not powersave as that is not a dynamic cpufreq policy at
all.

2008-10-09 Thread David Gaarenstroom
The cpufreq developers disagree on that. And I strongly disagree on
that. On my notebook, 1000MHz is a lot faster that 800MHz, because it
makes the memory clock and access-time much faster. It's not just the
CPU that scales up.

But anyone should understand that conservative is still better that
performance. At least when I filed the bug, either ondemand, userspace,
performance or powersave was the cpufreq policy for "dynamic" in that
order.

Reverting this patch (as done by Jonathan Riddell) to allows possibly-insecure
use of v2 capabilities. See kernel/capability.c in the Linux source
for details (look for warn_deprecated_v2).

2008-09-24 Thread David Gaarenstroom
Confirmed, I'm seeing this in alpha6 as well. And yes, avahi-daemon is build 
against libcap1, not libcap2... :-(
It's important to note that 32-capabilities is using legacy kernel code that is 
being phased out. So it's important to choose whether packages will be ported 
to libcap2 for intrepid or not. IMHO, it would be best to switch to libcap2 
before the final intrepid release for the most important packages (for the 
AMD64 platform).

IMHO, the most important packages still built against libcap1:
- avahi-daemon
- pulseaudio*, libpulse0
- ntpdate

[Bug 254954] [NEW] bootchart.jar crashes on generated bootchart.tgz

2008-08-05 Thread David Gaarenstroom
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bootchart

Description:Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release:8.04
bootchart:
  Installed: 0.9-0ubuntu7
  Candidate: 0.9-0ubuntu7
  Version table:
 *** 0.9-0ubuntu7 0
500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The bug:
---
In /etc/init.d/stop-bootchart the line:
/usr/bin/java -jar /usr/share/bootchart/bootchart.jar

sometimes crashes with the following message:

Parsing /var/log/bootchart.tgz
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.bootchart.parser.linux.ProcStatParser.parseLog(Unknown Source)
at org.bootchart.Main.render(Unknown Source)
at org.bootchart.Main.main(Unknown Source)


Analysis:
---
I have traced this back to bootchart.jar actually having problems parsing the 
log files in /var/log/bootchart.tgz where each time this occurs, one of the 
three files lacks a complete record. The last line of such a file allways 
contains an uptime entry and is not followed by the content of either 
/proc/stat, /proc/diskstats, proc/*/stat of that moment.

It seems that the shell function "stop_bootchart()" in /etc/init.d/stop-
bootchart sometimes has a timing issue, where it kills the bootchart
logging right after the uptime is inserted in the log. On my Via C3
500MHz system, this situation seems to occur regularly, whereas on my
workstation this happened only three or four times in the last couple of
months.


Proposed solution:

I'd like to propose a patch for 
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/bootchart which basicly turns:
sed -e "s/ [0-9].*//;s/\.//" < /proc/uptime
cat /proc/stat
into:
sed -e "s/ [0-9].*//;s/\.//" < /proc/uptime | cat - /proc/stat

With this change I haven't had any bootchart generation failures
whatsoever.

[Bug 248577] Re: avahi-daemon uses 32 bit legacy capabilities on AMD64

2008-07-24 Thread David Gaarenstroom
FWIW, this is printed by kernels from 2.6.25 and is caused by 'libcap1'.
Version 2 of libcap solves this issue. (v2 uses 64bit capabilities
instead of 32bit on amd64 systems.)

Other packages that cause this kernel message are all the ones that link
to libcap1 (e.g. dhcp3-client, ntpdate, wodim, etc.)

[Bug 211553] Re: wxPython isn't on path in hardy beta

2008-07-02 Thread David Gaarenstroom
Apparently it is shipped, but if you look closer, it does however point to 
../../wx/python/wx.pth (from both /usr/lib/python2.[45]/site-packages/wx.pth). 
This is an invalid path, there is no /usr/lib/wx/, not for my installation at 
least.
So I am very curious why it would work for *anyone*.

2008-06-05 Thread David Gaarenstroom
I'm having the same problem on Hardy Heron (final), I was able to solve
it using:

  sudo ln -snf /etc/alternatives/wx.pth /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
  sudo ln -snf /etc/alternatives/wx.pth /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/

So that should perhaps be in the python-wxgtk install scripts...

[Bug 204186] Re: remove svg to png conversion for bootchart

2008-04-11 Thread David Gaarenstroom
FWIW, I never intended it to be included for a stable release update.
However, if one would change the dependency on librsvg2-bin to
"librsvg2-bin|imagemagick", it wouldn't invalidate the documentation, so
"absolutely unsuitable" seems a bit rush...

[Bug 84376] Re: Long delay before KDM starts

2008-03-20 Thread David Gaarenstroom
The way I interpret this bug is that it must be a duplicate of bug 61711. 
As mentioned in my earlier post, removing splash from the kernel parameters 
helped for me, as did editing /etc/usplash.conf to the correct values (1280x800 
instead of 1280x1024). The right values aren't being set when installing from 
the Kubuntu Gutsy live-CD.

I don't have the machine available right now for a bootchart/lspci dump,
but it wouldn't add much... But you're probably addressing the bug
reporter -which is not me- anyway ;-)
