[SOLVED] Cpufreq not loading after reboot

I followed wiki on this ,but after reboot cpufreq is not loading from /etc/rc.conf as module
This is message on boot
:: Setting cpufreq governing rules , cpu 0 1wrong, unknown or unhandled CPU?
Error setting new values. Common errors:eq/scaling_available_governors: No such - Do you have proper administration rights? (super-user?)
- Is the governor you requested available and modprobed?
- Trying to set an invalid policy?
- Trying to set a specific frequency, but userspace governor is not available,
for example because of hardware which cannot be set to a specific frequency
or because the userspace governor isn't loaded?
But if I do a modprobe acpi-cpufreq got this
[root@laptop ~]# modprobe acpi-cpufreq
[root@laptop ~]# /etc/rc.d/cpufreq start
:: Setting cpufreq governing rules , cpu 0 1 [DONE]
This is a /etc/rc.conf/cpufreq
#configuration for cpufreq control
# valid governors:
# ondemand, performance, powersave,
# conservative, userspace
governor="ondemand"
# limit frequency range (optional)
# valid suffixes: Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, THz
min_freq="800MHz"
max_freq="2.01GHz"
# use freq to set up the exact cpu frequency using it with userspace governor
#freq=
Similar happens when I want to load governors as modules.
Laptop is acer with C2D T5800 and min and max values are  from cpufreq-info.
Can this be solved?
Thanks in advance!

  • [SOLVED] Printer not working after reboots

    I recently built my won desktop running Arch. Every thing works fine except for printer. Printer is Brother MFC-290c. It is a Multinational printer (i.e Scanner and printer together).
    Once I configure the printer it works fine until the next reboot. After reboot printer user/group changes to root:scanner.
    # ls -l /dev/bus/usb/005/002
    crw-rw-r-- 1 root scanner 189, 513 Jun 9 07:17 /dev/bus/usb/005/002
    So after every reboot I need to do "lsusb" to look for Bus and Device ID for the printer and change its owner/group to root:lp. After this step is performed Printer works fine until next reboot.
    $ lsusb

    How can I make sure that whenever I plugin this printer its user and group is root:lp instead of root:scanner

    SOLVED :D:D:D
    Thanks Strike0. That was a push in right direction. After reading your reply, I decided to take a look at my udev rules. There was not one for my printer but there was one for the Scanner. I do not yet know how to read udev file, but sure enough it looked as if it was causing all problems . Renamed the rules file for the scanner to see if everything works fine in its absence. Rebooted, Printer and scanner are both working fine now.

  • [SOLVED] Modules not loaded after upgrade linux (3.9.5-1 - 3.11.6)

    Hi. After upgrading the package linux from 3.9.5-1 to 3.11.6,
    many modules such as wifi or psmouse are not loaded.
    My PC is Asus Zenbook UX31E.
    If I do by hand like
    # modprobe ath9k

    wifi and psmouse are OK,
    but I want to set all necessary modules auto loaded.
    * Output of lsmod of linux 3.9.5-1 was 87 rows
    but lsmod of 3.11.6 (I attache below) is only 39 rows.
    * Both

  • How can i solve "could not load language and text preference "

    how can i solve " could not load language and text preference ".. help everyone...

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Site does not load after some minutes of creation or after restart the server

    Hello,
    I have been asked to create a test enviroment identical to the production enviroment. So, what I did was:
    Backed up the production web application's content database: Prod_WSS_ContentDB
    Created new test servers (domain controller, sql server and sharepoint 2013 server) in a new, completely isolated, network environment, without any connection with the production environment (specifically Azure)
    Created a new web application in test environment with a new content database.
    Dismounted the new content database with powershell: Dismount-spcontentdatabase Test_WSS_Content
    Copy the Prod_WSS_ContentDB database to the test sql server and restored it with Management Studio.
    Mount the Prod_WSS_ContentDB databe to the web application with powershell:
    Mount-spcontentdatabse Prod_WSS_ContentDB -WebApplication http://testsp/
    Then, when I type http://testsp in the browser it redirects me to http://testsp/SitePages/Home.aspx
    and the site loads exactly as the production environment.
    But, after some minutes, or if I restart the Sharepoint Server, when I navigate to
    http://sitesp I am redirected to http://testsp/SitePages/Home.aspx
    as expected, but the site does not load, the browser just show a complety blank page.
    The Central Administration site loads normally.
    Trying to fix it I found that if I dismount the content database Prod_WSS_ContentDB, then mount the test database Test_WSS_Content,
    then navigate to the site, dismount Test_WSS_Content and finally mount again Prod_WSS_ContentDB, the site loads normally, no blank page, but after some minutes or if I restart the same happens again.
    For the error event I receice in event viewer it seems that the problem is related to database. I have not found a solution for this error... How can I solve  this?

  • Could Calendar services not available after reboot be LDAP problem?

    I followed this installation guide:
    https://wikis.oracle.com/display/CommSuite7U2/Communications+Suite+on+a+Single+Host+%28Linux%29#CommunicationsSuiteonaSingleHost%28Linux%29-InstallingCommunicationsSuite7Update2Software
    I have successfully installed and set up the Oracle UCS Sun7 update 2 server. Calendar works ( if I don't reboot the server ).
    However, when I reboot the server, Calendar service is unavailable.
    Important information for when I installed Oracle UCS sun 7 update 2 by following the installation guide:
    I have noticed when browsing through the folders, that there was already a 'dsee6' folder for the Oracle Linux I started from. Following the example installation for the Oracle Linux 5 with GlassFish install, I was instructed to download a new Directory Server. Following the instructions on page 7 of the install guide listed above, I made another folder 'dsee7'. I am wondering if I should never have downloaded this new Directory Server as instructed on page 6 "Get the Software". The install guide actually does not mention where to get the Directory Server from, so I just went to the edelivery site and figured it out myself. Anyways, under the "Installing and Configuring Directory Server" section, #3, I was instructed to "mv dsee7 /opt/sun/directory". In this folder, /opt/sun/directory/bin, there will be "./dsadmin" utility that can be ran. This is used to do many things with the Directory Server including starting it. Here is how I started it:
    cd /opt/sun/directory/bin
    ./dsadm create /var/opt/sun/directory/dsins1
    ./dsconf create-suffix "0=isp"
    Also, I downloaded the Directory Server from edelivery - Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition 11gR1 Patch Set 1 for Linux x86-64
    Then, I ended up running to get it set up:
    ./dsccsetup ads-create
    ./dsccsetup war-file-create
    $ ./dsccsetup cacao-reg
    ./dsccsetup status
    Then, it looked like the dcss agent is registered in cacao.
    So, if we forward ahead to page 9 of the install guide, "Preparing the Directory", I ran this and prepared the directory. After I finished installation, I could restart the Directory Server with no problems, as long as I did not reboot the machine. I would restart the Directory Server like so:
    cd /opt/sun/directory/bin
    ./dsadmin stop-domain domain1
    ./dsadmin start-domain domain1
    However, if I rebooted the machine, I could still start and stop the Directory Server as noted. But, the Calendar Services were not available.
    The only reason I wonder about this LDAP Server possibly being the cause of this is because I had at one point configured the services to start on boot. I followed these instructions:
    https://wikis.oracle.com/display/CommSuite7U2/Start+and+Stop+Scripts+for+Communications+Suite+%28Linux%29
    I am using a VMSphere client to host this set up. So, since that point of configuring the services to start up, I have rolled the snap shot back so that the services are no longer set up to start on boot. But, when they were, and I rebooted the machine, I could see ldap 389 errors all over the place. So, that lead me to roll my snap shot back in effort to try and fix the ldap errors. I no longer get LDAP errors since I rolled my snap shot back. But, like I said, I no longer have any of the services, including the LDAP, to start on boot as noted in the above link that instructs us how to do this.
    After reboot, I run these commands to get the server up and running:
    Start GlassFish server:
    cd /opt/sun/SUNWappserver/bin
    ./startserv
    Start web ( Messaging Server I think ):
    cd /opt/sun/comms/messaging64/bin
    ./start-msg
    Start LDAP ( Directory Server )
    cd /opt/sun/directory/bin
    ./dsadm start /var/opt/sun/directory/dsins1
    Start Mysql
    cd/etc/init.d
    ./mysqld start
    All of those commands complete without problem. I can log into the convergence web, I can hit the delegated administrator, I can log into the GlassFish admin console, and I can see my calendar folder when I hit it in the web ( http://myServer.com/davserver/dav/home/userName/calendar/ ).
    So, in summary, I am wondering if anyone knows if this supposed second Directory Server is causing my problems since I started with Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Linux 5 appeared to have the folder dsee6 already installed with it. Could this be why my calendar services are not starting after reboot but are working before reboot?
    ( Also, all of my posts keep getting deleted. Can someone please email me if someone from Oracle is deleting my posts and tell me why they are getting deleted? )

  • Aperture 2.1.4 update will not load after Snow Leopard update

    Has any one found the fix for aperture 2.1.4 update not loading after the installation of Snow Leopard. I to am also getting the alert "aperture 2.0 or later is required to install the update". I installed my copy of aperture 2.1 using the installer with no problems so the program is in the correct location. I've seen the posts related to this problem and it does not seem a fix has been found.

    Just ran into this myself. I did check to see if there was a preference to delete under ~/Library/Preferences and one is not created since 2.1 is never actually launched. 2.1 is sitting in the root of Applications and hasn't been renamed, but the 2.1.4 update just doesn't detect that it is there and just gives the alert "Aperture 2.0 or later is required to install this update."

  • PE 9 will not load after installing Elements 10

    Installed Elements 10 on Vista 64-bit.  Did not uninstall Elements 9.  Now PE 9 will not load; get window Adobe Premiere Elements.exe - No Disk.  There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive\Harddisk2\DR2.  Tried disk 2 of 3 from package, nothing happens.

    Tried twice, PE9 still locked up both times - I think the intent is to have me try PE10, because that did work!!!

  • 10.2.8 Finder does not load after getting into OS X

    I am pretty sure this happened to a lot of people, as I have read many many messages on this issue.
    My computer is a Powerbook 867 with 128built in DDR and 512 added.
    40Gb internal HDD and a 40GB firewire 3G ipod (the old 3G).
    Here's the problem:
    Last night just when I finishsed watching some divx on VLC running on 10.2.8, I quitted VLC using apple+Q, then closed the finder window i opened with apple+W. They both closed, but then the finder just did not respond (or have quitted). There isn't a little triangle below my finder icon on the dock. Everything else on the dock works perfectly fine. Desktop icons have disappeared.
    Now I have restarted, nothing helps; went on apple discussion and found some "HELPFUL" solutions - deleting the finder preferences. First how was I suppose to delete it? ok... I installed a 10.2.3 on my ipod and boot it through there, also did a repair permission on my internal HDD. Finally deleted the com.apple.finder.plist.. So I booted up using my internal again. But still... finder DOES NOT LOAD after I got into my OS X.
    Please if anyone can give me a solution to this problem!
    P.S. the finder on my ipod is working fine. AND I do not want to reinstall OS X on my interal because I only did it last week after it went to service after a HDD fail (it has been replaced).
    Powerbook 867Mhz 128+512MbDDR   Mac OS X (10.2.x)   10.2.8

    Check System Preferences - Accounts
    Choose you account - login items: If iTunesHelper
    shows up - remove it it will prevent re-installation.
    It did not have iTunes in the list, just mail and iCal alarm. Deadlines and emails are vital in my home office.
    Now that I think about it, adding Mail to the list was the only thing that I had changed to the computer when this happened, but I can't imagine how that would alter permission to install on the OS.

  • Tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance

    I tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance.
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the suggestion - but I eventually tried again and was able to contact via "chat" to someone qualified to help. The problem was that in my existing "bridge" - preference was (I think by default) - checked to startup in background on Login. I did not realize this - because I don't think I set it that way in the first place (maybe I did a few years ago) - and I could not see anything in task manager to suggest that bridge was running an application or any process - but when I learned this - I was successful in installing PS CS6.
    Yes, I'm still not on solid ground re: whether or not I want to change from "owning" the tool or renting it -- what concerns me is that is sounds like regardless of users wishes, Adobe is headed in this direction and will eventually make it financially more feasible to go that route. At the moment I think they are "asking" for everyone to get on their bandwagon, but who knows. They have a powerful set of tools, that they continue to support and advance - and along with those development and support costs, they also would like to make a profit - so I understand if their past marketing model is no longer sufficient.
    Thanks again.

  • Usb hard drive not loading after security update

    usb hard drive not loading after security update
    I can't seem to find any other posts about this problem.
    I have three external hard rives connect by a USB hub to my iMac.
    Problem is that if I turn on the hard drive(s) AFTER start up I get a message that the drive either was not recognized by the OS or that it was ejected unexpectedly. 
    I get the same issue but not all the time if I turn them on before I boot the iMac.
    I used the disk drive utility to "repair" the drives but they always come back as "probably ok". 
    If I restart the iMac with the drives connected (on), it seems to work but not all the time.
    A bit annoying as I am wondering if the drives are OK or not.
    I don't always need the drives as they are for backing up images from my camera using Apreture.
    This all began after i did the latest security update.
    is the update to blame?
    mahalo.

    Yes, you can still use those instructions to reset the PRAM.
    You said that you booted to your install disk and that your primary drive did not show up at the Select a Destination screen? That usually means that the computer is either not recognizing your partition, or it's not recognizing the hard drive itself.
    Start with this article and follow all the steps even if you already tried them. I suspect that you'll get to step 4 and you'll end up having to call Applecare. If you haven't done those steps, they're most likely going to make you do them anyway, so you might as well get them done before the call.
