[solved] powertop bug or buggy user?

When I run powertop, it complains that it cannot load /var/cache/powertop/saved_results.powertop. Initially, I thought this was a permissions problem. The default permissions on /var/cache/powertop seemed to be 600. I added execute permission for root (700). However, I still get the same complaint.
Searching the forums, I found one post which mentioned this in passing but the comment was not the main topic and received no follow-up.
I would think this was a powertop bug except that I've looked through the mailing list archives for Aug, Sep and Oct (i.e. since the release of 2.1) and can't see any reports of it which would seem a bit odd since I'd expect this sort of bug to be recognised rather quickly. So I'm thinking that it is probably a buggy user rather than a buggy application but I can't think what I'm missing.
[Note: powertop's bug reporting mechanism appears to be reporting to the mailing list and there doesn't seem to be a separate bug tracker so the mailing list seemed to be the place to look although it is not possible to search as far as I can tell.]

So what else could be different? When I use powertop, I get:
Loaded 77 prior measurements
Cannot load from file /var/cache/powertop/saved_parameters.powertop
Cannot load from file /var/cache/powertop/saved_parameters.powertop
And I also have 600 and 644 as the respective permissions:
ls -al /var/cache/powertop/
total 120
drw------- 2 root root 4096 Gor 5 23:20 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Hyd 27 02:01 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 111460 Hyd 29 22:43 saved_results.powertop
Er... OK. So how did you create a /var/cache/powertop/saved_parameters.powertop?

I'm currently at the 3GSM conference. We have a product demo
the is part symbian and part flash lite 2.0 mockup. the interface
is seamless and for our custommers this is one demo.
We have many potentials customers that want to take the demo
with them. we are talking of real life deals worth millions of
dollars.
When we bult the demo your strategy was that eas phone would
have a it's specific player and we build our demo acording to that
(not that we understood then why the player is not simply
downloaded over the air) but now when our users want to install our
demo thez can't. you know why?
you have changes your strategy and now everyone can doenload
a player. but you forgot to do one thing.... make the player
work!!!
So I'm here in Barcelona. my clients love the demo but no one
can take it with them.
We are using your products for 10 years because we love them.

How to solve the issue "CUV check user equivalence failed" ?

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 VMs (rac1 and rac2) whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6 in VMPlayer according to the website http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
In order to install Grid Infrastructure, we need to run Cluster Utility Verification (CUV) at first by running the cammand below:
[ora11g@rac1 grid]$ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1,rac2 -verbose
Its output:
Performing pre-checks for cluster services setup
Check: User equivalence for user “ora11g”
Node Comment
rac1 failed
rac2 failed
Result: PRVF-4007 : User equivalence check failed for user “ora11g”
ERROR:
User equivalence unavailable on all the specified nodes
Verification cannot proceed
Pre-check for cluster services setup was unsuccessful on all the nodes.
As you see above, check user equivalence failed. I have run the 4 commands to fix this error as below:
[ora11g@rac1 /]$ ssh-keygen
Its output:
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/grid/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):

[ora11g@rac1 .ssh]$ cat *pub >>authorized_keys
[ora11g@rac1 .ssh]$ ssh rac1
Its output:

Warning: Permanently added ‘rac1′ (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

[ora11g@rac1 .ssh]$ ssh rac1-priv
Its output:

Warning: Permanently added ‘rac1-priv,192.168.137.35′ (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

After run the 4 commands above, I run the command below again:
[ora11g@rac1 grid]$ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n rac1,rac2 -verbose
Its output is the same:
PRVF-4007 : User equivalence check failed for user “ora11g”
ERROR:
User equivalence unavailable on all the specified nodes
Verification cannot proceed
I think the problem is "Broken pipe" and ssh cannot write authorized_keys to the machines.
My question is:
Do any folk understand how to solve the issue CUV "check user equivalence failed" for 2 VMs ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. Thanks a lot for replying.
I have installed Grid Infrastructure a few times. Each time, on step 7 of 9, the installer fixes and checks 2 machines correctly. The entire installation has 3 parts as below:
1) Install Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster
2) Execute Root Scripts for Install Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster (script is root.sh)
3) Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster that includes NCA, ASMCA, PICA and CVU.
Each time, on step 8 of 9, the Installer installs Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster successfully that includes "Prepare, Copy files, Link binaries, Setup files and Perform remote operations".
But when the Installer get to part 3 CVU, it fails and then the Database cannot be installed.
Deinstall Grid is a very complicated process to do. Because of this reason, we need to run CVU at first to make sure everything is correct for 2 machines before install Grid.
Even we ignore "user equivalence (ssh)", we don't know whether other items can be passed or not because CVU cannot proceed to check the machines.
My question is:
How to have the script "runcluvfy.sh" continue to check the machines while confronting "user equivalence failed" ?

[SOLVED]Get [FAIL] when loading user specified modules.

That is it, when the system is booting i get a [FAIL] message when loading user specified modules after upgrading udev, and the kmod new module handling or something as say in the news. I dont have a modprobe.conf or a modprobe.conf.pacsave file either and creating a modprobe.conf file doesn't solve the problem. The strange thing is that the modules are loaded anyways. I mean the ones that are specified in rc.conf. I dont know if the system [FAIL] to load that modules or others...The system works fine for now too.
Thanks.
PD: sorry if you notice my poor english.

I had the same problem and removing the governor performance from rc.conf solved the problem. I tried however to remove both governors and only leave powernow-k8 (this is the only one that works for me) leaving rc.conf like this:
MODULES=(brcmsmac powernow-k8)
When I boot the laptop and check which governors are available and being used I get the following:
[netlak@soulrebel ~]$ cpufreq-info

available frequency steps: 2.10 GHz, 1.50 GHz, 800 MHz

The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 2.10 GHz.
This like as if the ondemand governor would not be available but when unplugging the laptop and check again I get this:

This shows that the ondemand module can be autoloaded when needed, so I leave rc.conf only with powernow-k8.
Thanks for your help.

[Solved] Kernel BUG at include/linux/netdevice.h:501, and sky2?

So, ever since a certain point in time between kernel 3.11.x and now (3.12.5-1), I have been getting this strangely inconsistent error on bootup. I would estimate that about 3 out of every 4 reboots leads to this error message, and the bootup process terminates in a black screen and what (appears) to be a system hang. However I CTL+ALT+F2, log in, and I output dmesg to a boot log, and everything my eyes have seen is now your visual property as well. The remaining 25% of my reboots patches through and boots directly to my window manager successfully. Now the output seems to be screaming to me "sky2 is the culprit", as EIP seems to be pointing in its general direction at the time of error. However, I am more inclined to believe that my hardware's interaction with the driver is more likely to be responsible. If sky2 was actually a real problem, I doubt I would be the only one complaining about this. Nonetheless, I am quite vexed, and would greatly appreciate anbody's help here. Much appreciated, and perhaps I can provide you with some other (perhaps) useful information:

UPDATE: So I ran some low level troubleshooting and decided to test out the linux-lts (3.10.24-1-lts) kernel. No problems at all. Everything works fine with my ethernet adapter and the sky2 module. It just appears that something occurred in the newer kernels to break the interface for at least one Marvell adapter. This solution works for now, but I suppose I should file a bug report eventually. In the meantime, any insight is welcome.

[SOLVED] Kernel bug fix, works for me!

Having been hit by the kernel bug that interferes with internet access & having to downgrade the kernel to escape the bug. I am happy to say that after reading a bug report on the subject here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11721
Courtesy of a link posted by Misfit138, I found deep down in the report dialogue that the following command as root, worked for the poster of the bug:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps
So I did a yaourt -Syu & found amongst other packages a minor kernel update, which did not solve my internet problems, but after su, & then entering the above command in the Terminal my internet works as it should!
If this solution works for you, then add the following to your /etc/sysctl.conf:
#Temporary workaround for tcp issue with 2.6.27
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
Thanks again Misfit138
I hope this solution works for all of the other bug bitten members of the Arch (& Linux) community!

E72 - PLEASE solve these bugs!

Hi, i am using the E72 in Asia.
A few things that i discovered and its bad! Comparing to E71, E72 is very bad. By the way, this is the second E72 i am using. I bought one before, same issue, now the secound one, Same ISSUE again!
Here are the problems: I need to type in Chinese (pinyin) but whenever the language is switched to Chinese input, the calculator does not allow me to input decimal (how bad this is!).
Also in Chinese mode, once back to English input, the SPACE bar input is NOT WORKING. The only way is to restart the damm phone. Can someone from Nokia tell me a fix on these problems? Please write me..

Update to firmware 023.002 will solve the space bar issue when changing input method between English and Chinese. However, the decimal point in Chinese writing input for calculator is not fixed yet. The decimal works in English writing input, though. At least 1 bug is fixed Try to update the firmware using NSU.

[SOLVED]dbus and systemd: "systemctl --user" gets "Connection refused"

Hi,
I want to enable some systemd user service. Here is what I get
$ LANG=C systemctl --user
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Connection refused
$ echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-RboLZS2wF3,guid=feb8bd85248906d12a826acd54e3c4ad
I don't believe I've ever touched dbus, so I'm a bit lost. There's the following line in my ~/.xinitrc:
exec dbus-launch xmonad
Seems like I'm not the only one with trouble on that topic, but I could not solve my problem.

Heyyy I'm dumb!

New error = progress! yay!

[SOLVED] Kernel bug? Need help soon!

After a reboot my arch linux install wont log in anymore... When I enter my username and password at the prompt I get a flash of a screen and then the login prompt again, if I type in my username and such again it doesn't do anything... It just sits there...
The same goes for gdm and such.
I think the screen that flashes up (it's only a second there) is this one:
May 2 16:22:27 icarus Assertion failure in dx_probe() at fs/ext3/namei.c:384: "dx_get_limit(entries) == dx_root_limit(dir, root->info.info_length)"
May 2 16:22:27 icarus ------------[ cut here ]------------
May 2 16:22:27 icarus kernel BUG at fs/ext3/namei.c:384!
May 2 16:22:27 icarus invalid opcode: 0000 [#1]
Which is a snippet from my kernel.log. Does anyone know how to solve this? I really need to get into arch...

It seems like the above is an incredible obscure error message which should tell you that you've got a corrupted file system...
I had already ran fsck a couple of times and it always told me all my filesystems were ok, but desperate as I was I ran it once more on all my filesystems and now it fixed a bunch of errors on my home partition and arch booted... I don't really understand why fsck didn't do so the first time, but I'm happy I can finally boot arch again and continue working.
Sorry for this useless-after-all post.

Regression bug: Skype ignores user settings for lo...

A few versions ago, there was a new feature introduced that would give everybody a preview of images sent through IM.
It is nice to have an image preview, but nobody can choose where to save an image or a video anymore - the IM settings are duly ignored. I have finally managed to track down the folder where they are hiding, but this is really beyond the skills of an average computer user.
So, please fix this bug?

Right click in the image preview and select Save as.

[Solved] Pure-ftpd only virtual users

Dear arch-users
I'm using pureftpd from extra. I've created a lot of virtual users for my LAN, everything is working fine.
But it is possible for system users to log on an see their whole /home/users directory, with their user/pass combo. I've disabled it, by setting the minUID to a very high number, but I think their is a more decent solution for this problem.
So what is the best solution to only allow virtual-users to log on?

Solved the case
# If you want to enable PAM authentication, uncomment the following line
PAMAuthentication no
# If you want simple Unix (/etc/passwd) authentication, uncomment this
UnixAuthentication no

[SOLVED] Authenticate with the current user instead of root on GNOME

I am currently trying on Arch Linux. And after installing GNOME, I found that, whenever I want to change the administration settings, such as network, shared folders, date and time, users and groups, I am prompted with authentication of the root password. The current user is a wheel user, which is able to use sudo to work properly. What I want is to use the current user for authentication, so that I can lock the root password, just like Ubuntu distribution which does not need to user root password.

I have solved the problem from the wiki. I didn't follow one of the step, because I thought it is not related to the GNOME, since there is no GNOME keyword. To make the authentication using the current user instead of root, one needs to edit
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/50-localauthority.conf
modify the line to
AdminIdentities=unix-group:wheel

[SOLVED] yaourt bug (error: target not found: [b]I )

subj, after install and uninstall xampp
yaourt -S xampp
==> Installing from a package list
Пароль:
error: target not found: {b}I
*in quote changed [] to []
maybe clear package list?
I tried:
yaourt -Syu
yaourt -Syua
yaourt -Scc
rm /tmp/yaourt-tmp-$USER
reinstall yaourt
but fail
other soft installing normally
yaourt -Syy is the solution

Just so you know, a bug is typically not something that only you experience. I just want to ensure that you aren't filing bug reports for things that are only occuring on your machine and not a systemic issue within the utility itself.

[solved] powertop bug or buggy user?
