Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Testing
Does anyone beside me have trouble with the cifs functionality that is built into kernel-power?
In theory it is ideal for browsing NAS drives and video streaming via tv-out, but it is very erratic. Browsing directories can go fast at some times, and take forever the next. Same story with video streaming, smooth the one moment, stuttering the next. Very frustrating! I have tried both NFS and Samba, and a few different wifi networks as well. I use wizard-mounter, but mounting by hand leads to the same result as far as I know. Edit: setting wifi powersaving to intermediate worked, thanks guys! |

Seems to be AP related, no CIFS as it, though (powersaving).

Do you remember me, guys? I am the one who ****d up his power kernel some days ago, resulting in heavy battery drain ^^
As i told you before, i've reflashed the device, 4 days ago. I followed your suggestion without installing anything related to system tweaking and stuff like that. Btw, i have a new, unexpected trouble. I'm experiencing a lot of stuttering while playing a video, recording from camera and browsing the web too. Obviously I don't know why :D I reflashed the device, applied the power kernel, edited the pmconfig file (as explained by freemangordon) to have smartreflex enabled and 805 MHz as max clock speed. Nothing more. Then I've insalled some app, like sygic mobile, open media player, pyradio, battery eye, FreOffice, kMplayer and more, but all app are not related to system tweaking / performance optimize or sh*t like this. I found some weird in dmesg output (attached to this post), stuff like "[ 36.539703] procwrap_detach: deprecated dspbridge ioctl" and "[ 53.204895] Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods" Can you help me to solve this (new) problem? d! |

Can you post the output of "kernel-config show" command? |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Testing
Today HAM showed an update for kernel power settings. what was that for? no information on this thread.

current kernel configuration:What kind of profile am I running now? Oh, another question for you. I can see using top command in terminal that there is always a process related to xorg active, with 4-6% of CPU usage always active. It seems that process handle a log file. It says that he path is /usr/bin/Xorg -logf. I tried to open that file to see what inside, but is too large. Do you know something about that? d! |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Testing
@thedarkus - your profile is OK too, 125 is set to be avoided. If your videos still stutter after the device has settled down (tracker is no longer doing thumbnails), I would recommend to do a full power-cycle, (i.e. power down, remove the battery for a couple of seconds, put the battery back, power-up), as from time to time SGX driver cannot initialize the hardware correctly if the device is only rebooted. Anyway all of your logs look OK to me.
If you wish an additional speedup of your device you can search the forum on how to move the swap on SD card, how to setup a compcache swap and how to tweak io scheduler. However that is OT here :) . |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Testing
everytime i look at output of "kernel-config show" it reports current cpu at max. battery only lasting just over a day compared to previous cssu testing release with stock kernel. I'll try to post output from powertop etc later

The log file is just the X log file (/tmp/Xorg.0.log), which should be pretty small anyway. Mine is ~4kb, with 16 days uptime. In short: leave it alone. |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Testing
I did what you said, freemangordon, but the problem is still unsolved. Stuttering everywhere, using camera to record movie, playing divx with any player, scrolling webpages and sometimes scrolling app menu too.
Is strange, 'cos all was working fine for the first 3 days, than, after a reboot, this problem jumped out. I have to tell you that watching a divx, it stutters regullary every 2-3 secs. And, despite the stutters seen on the screen while recording, the resulting file recorded play smooth on other devices, so the file is ok. Oh, and while recording the stutters is regualary every 2-3 secs too! This is all that I can tell you to add additional information. If you want, I can post here other logs, everything needed to diagnose the problem. Also applicationlist too, but i don't think that an app is responsable for the problem, they were all already installed before the problem rised, and all was working fine :) I'm sorry freemangordon, as told you before in this 3d I am a new addicted to linux world, so I prefer to solve a problem than flash the device, I think this is the only way to learn something useful (for me and for the community too). I keep the reflash as my last hope, 'cos in the weekend I will have to travel a lot by train, and i want use my device to watch some movies ^^ As usual, a big thank you for your support d! |

When the N900 is idle and locked, Xorg sleeps as well :) Advice: if you want to look at what goes on on the N900, the best is to keep it locked and login per ssh. There you can use ps, top, powertop, etc. on a system that is "as idle as possible" :) |

..or redirect powertop output to file and lock the device.

Latest CSSU and KP from extras-testing. No extra desktop widgets installed. Desktops are the same as vanilla firmware (Once with calendar, one with ovi etc.) Blank desktop just has a few web shortcuts. Swappolube is using "proposed" settings. Powertop output a few minutes after boot. Interrupts a lot lower than before reboot (1400 vs 2800). I've included "dpkg -l" as well. Kernel-config shows max as 600. Same happens with limits set to 720, 900 etc |

What if you install Conky? I can see that my frequences are changing while looking att Conky. But "kernel-config show" always reports max frequence on my phone too. |

There is nothing wrong with your phone. Dont install any additional junk. Kernel-config shows your highest freq because the CPU jumps to it to execute the kernel-config script as quickly as possible. To watch your cpu enter into xterm: Code:
watch -n 1 -t cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Testing
Ok, that explains the CPU freq. reading, now to get to the bottom of the battery consumption, which I suspect is CSSU related.
I didn't think running kernel-config would have put enough demand on CPU to require frequency increase. |

The only installed GUI applications are cuteTube-QML, fMMS, MussOrgsky, omweather (with auto update disabled) and Swappolube. AdblockPlus 1.3.10 is installed (from homepage) but disabled. 3G/2G/Dual applet installed and set to 2G. There are a few terminal apps (grep, nano, powertop) and that's it. Tracker has been modified to run in low memory mode with Throttle set to 5. MfE only runs when on WiFi and even then only every 30mins 8am-5pm. Thats it. No other changes. Before last CSSU-T update it lasted 2.5-3 days with light WiFi usage and SR enabled with stock kernel. Immediately after update it didn't even last half a day. Since reflash it will manage 1.5 days if I'm lucky. That's why I installed KP, in the hope of getting a bit more out of it. |

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Testing
I upgraded to the latest release of the power kernel (I'm running 1.2.6.28-10power49 of the flasher, and 2012-02-07 14.24 of the settings and overclocker) and it has something wrong with it; all of a sudden things that used to work perfectly are running horribly slowly, and my battery is getting eaten at a truly scary rate.
This only happens on some boots; sometimes I reboot and life is (kind of) OK; other times it's disastrous. On one reboot it was so bad that after I made a phone call, I couldn't even get back to the desktop screens! Top doesn't show a horrible load average (currently about 1.0 with pulseaudio as the usual culprit), but the performance is still awful. The obvious thing to do is to revert to the previous settings. However, I'm not quite sure how to get Faster Application Manager (or the default app manager) to do that; any help would be appreciated. |

Have in mind that I've never told you to directly tweak /etc/pmconfig ;) . Anyway, you can revert /etc/pmconfig to stock and check if the issue you have is because of the overclocking and/or SR. If the above does not result in issue resolution, just re-flash the ***** and start over. |

Last thing I did before the problem started, was installing Sygic Mobile Maps application. I Ever had that app installed and never had a problem with it. Btw, reverted to the original configuration in pmconfig right now, rebooted, this did'n help solving my issues. There's a way to take a look at all the modules, drivers and app loaded during the boot? d! |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Testing
anybody please help. i have multiboot installed with nitdroid. also i have h-e-n installed with kernel bfs bootimg(only bootimg). i have 3 options in multiboot. 1.nokia default kernel 2. kernel bfs bootimg 3. nitdroid. so i want to know is it safe to install kernel power 49 for me? the bootimg is already not installable. i am with cssu(T) .please help. thanks in advance.

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Testing
hi guys,
i hope someone could help me. I want give a try with 500 as minfreq but neither pmconfing or kernelfconfig seems work. I change the value but it just return to 250 after a couple minutes. pmconfig remains showing 500 but conky reveals that 250 is used too. kernelfconfig shows 125 as min althougth its on avoid freq as well. what am i missing ? Just another thing: is it normal the ram memory use NEVER works under 60 % ? thanks in advance. edit: sorry :( My bad... i just see at the uptime that my device had a espontaneus reboot and i didnt see that. I changed the value again and everything works now. sorry again ! |
Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v49 in Extras-Testing
Ok guys, i didn't solved my issues, and tomorrow i'll have to travel a lot by train, so I'm going to reflash my device.
Can I install PK49 without settings and modules? I mean using terminal apt-get install kernel-power-flasher kernel-power without typing nothing related to settings and modules I think I'll still have the chance to overclock the device editing pmconfig file, right? d! |
