  1. Dear Cardinal: i've installed the microcode_ctl but it is not enabled in any runlevels.

     

    I've with gento-sources-4.4.6:

    sandro@ci74771ht ~ $ zgrep MICROCODE /proc/config.gz 
    CONFIG_MICROCODE=y
    CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL=y
    # CONFIG_MICROCODE_AMD is not set
    CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE=y
    
    

    Do You think that may be better to change the kernel with different version (type, older or newer) ?

     

    Thanx a lot for Your aid :)

  2. Hi to all; I've 2 systems:

    1) PC Desktop with cpu intel 4771, nVidia GTX 660, 16 GiB ram. 
    2) An old laptop "Acer" con cpu Athlon 64x2 @ 1,9 GHz, Radeon HD 3200, 3 GiB Ram.

     

     

    With PC "1" i use plasma-5 without troubles with "GLX" with nvidia-drivers.

     

    With the laptop, using "glx" i've graphical errors; instead if I use "egl" all seems to work fine.

     

    But ... what is the best choiche ?

     

    "glx" or "egl" ?

     

    Thanx for answers :)

  3. @ Cardinal: i've tryed and execute all commands in your link; but doesn't work :|

    At boot i've  kernel panic.

    I'm returned with previous config.

     

    Thanx for suggestions :)

     

    And ... Enabling microcode_ctl system crashes :|

     

    @ Overkill: np ... :)

  4. I'm on stable with gentoo-sources compiled with genkernel; I don't want Debian-sources and my situation is:

     

     

    sandro@ci74771ht ~ $ uname -a
    Linux ci74771ht 4.4.6-gentoo #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 18 21:13:38 CEST 2016 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4771 CPU @ 3.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

     

     

    sandro@ci74771ht ~ $ zgrep MICROCODE /proc/config.gz
    CONFIG_MICROCODE=y
    CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL=y
    # CONFIG_MICROCODE_AMD is not set
    CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE=y
    sandro@ci74771ht ~ $ zgrep EARLY /proc/config.gz
    CONFIG_FIX_EARLYCON_MEM=y
    CONFIG_GENERIC_EARLY_IOREMAP=y
    CONFIG_SERIAL_EARLYCON=y
    CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y
    # CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP is not set
    CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_EFI=y

     

    I must try with a newer version of gentoo-sources ?

     

    Thanx

  5. I have an Intel i7-4770K and I use the kernel CPU Frequency scaling options without pstates and it works fine.  I set the default governor to "ondemand" in the kernel.  Each core then idles at 800MHz and scales up as needed.

     

    I have cpupower installed on my system, but don't really need it as the kernel settings do what I desire.

     

    Dear Overkill .... also i use Intel P-state disabled and all runs correctly; The real trouble is: Why in Fedora 24 with P-state enabled there are not trouble about scaling cpu frequencies ? With Funtoo i must use Your solution with P-state disabled.

     

    I'd like to have my cpu running under P-state mode correctly. But for now it seems impossible; if i activate P state for Intel, i've no great scaling and benching for example boinc i've better results with your method.

     

    May be also that there are Intel's cpu with "a bug" about P-state .....

    For example my i7 4771 doesn't accept updates for microcode; for example if I make

    # service microcode_ctl start
    

    The systems have  various errors .... :(

     

    Excuse me ... hope not to have bored You :)

     

    However ... my Funtoo Stable runs very very well :) my system is all "consistent" (in Italian ... "coerente") :)

  6. May be that my cpu is bugged :|

     

    Using i7z for monitoring cpu, using boinc is 35x (3500 MHz) if i compile kernel i7z tell to me that th cores runs at 37x (3700 MHz);

    Globally there is not a very good scaling;

     

    I return to cpupower without Intel P-state enabled "in kernel" :|

  7. Excuse me for third post .....

     

    I've used boinc (that for me is the software which for me it is the most resource-hungry and also it raises more than anything else the temperatures of the cores) to test the 2 situations:

     

    1) with Intel P-state enabled in kernel , with MATE DE, I obtain ~4300 for Weathston (fpu) per core and only ~ 10500 in Integer (Drystone). :o

    2) Without Intel P-state fpu (Whetstone) is similar, but in integer (Dhrystone) is near 15000 MIPS per core

     

    Then for this moment the choice is to use cpupower without P-state driver.

     

    But that discussion is ever opened ..... Who knows what will happen in the future ?

     

    Hi to All & great Dear whiteghost :)

  8. However, for now, i think that in portage there aren't softwares to tune the cpu (may be with systemd ? but i hate systemd)

    For me is "Pseudo-solved" this topic.

     

    But is open for new ideas to have the best ratio performances / Watt.

     

    Hello :)

  9. Hello ... I have a system with Intel i7 4771 CPU (Haswell) @ 3.5 GHz.

    In the kernel menuconfig I find "P-state" for Intel processors> = Sandy-Bridge.

     

    Problem: If I install cpupower to change the governor and monitor frequency changes, cpupower not work ... then remains inactive (rc-update add cpupower default && rc)

    Removing P-state by the kernel, cpupower works .......

     

    I would like a bit 'deeper into this topic; and figure out what might be the most correct thing to do.

     

    I also tried sys-power / ncpufreqd; but is the same than with cpupower.

     

    Fedora kernel, have enabled P-state; and I can monitor the frequencies that scale from 800 MHz to 3.5 GHz ..

    But fedora uses systemd ... and being ignorant of systemd I do not know how to move properly for Funtoo :(

     

    How can I do with Funtoo to get the same result?

     

    Thanks for any suggestions :)

    I've never installed ck-sources;

    I don't know how to do .... why my system requinres ck (Can-Kolivas) sources ?????

     

    There is somewhat wrong in the tree i think :(

    Thanks :)

  12. There isn't the file ....

     

    In my "Official Funtoo KDE + xfce4" it is ok:

    ci74771ht ~ # cat /etc/env.d/02locale

    # Configuration file for eselect
    # This file has been automatically generated.
    LANG="it_IT.utf8"

    ________________________

     

     

    In the newer installation with xfce + Gnome, the file doesn't exist:

    May be related to the stage3 that i've used ?

     

    ________________________________________________________

     

    Adding the 02locale in /etc/env.d , now it seems all ok. Thanx Great Oleg :)

  13. Excfuse me for double post.

     

    Now i've made a new little step about this trouble.

     

    I've recompiled glibc with "empty locale.gen file".

     

    So, now, in terminal and other softwares, the italian layout runs fine :P

     

    But i've warnings .... and i don't know which may be the best choice from:

    ci74771ht ~ # eselect locale list|grep it
    /etc/env.d/02locale: riga 5: attenzione: setlocale: LC_TIME: impossibile cambiare la localizzazione (CLC_MONETARY=CLC_PAPER=CLC_MEASUREMENT=C)
    /etc/env.d/02locale: riga 5: attenzione: setlocale: LC_TIME: impossibile cambiare la localizzazione (CLC_MONETARY=CLC_PAPER=CLC_MEASUREMENT=C)
      [441] it_CH
      [442] it_CH.iso88591
      [443] it_CH.utf8
      [444] it_IT
      [445] it_IT.iso88591
      [446] it_IT.iso885915@euro
      [447] it_IT.utf8 *
      [448] it_IT@euro
      [449] italian
    
    

    And i've this output for example:

    ci74771ht ~ # emerge lshw
    setlocale: unsupported locale setting
    setlocale: unsupported locale setting
    Calculating dependencies \
    

    How To Solve ?

     

     

    Thanks for any suggestion / explanation :)
