Hi, please, can somebody update a plugin gkfreq for GKrellM ? Description of problem: In MGA4 32/64bit in GKrellM is not shown an actual CPU frequency if plugin intel_pstate is activated. How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1) Use the computer with Intel Core ix 2) By command "# cpupower frequency-info" be sure you use a plugin intel_pstate 3) open GKrellM 4) go to GKrellM configuration: press F1 key â Plugins â activate CPUfreq 3) in new windows is shown 0MHz for all CPUs How to solve it: By updated plugin from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkrellm-gkfreq/ See bugreport: http://sourceforge.net/p/gkrellm-gkfreq/bugs/3/ Reported also: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13368#c6 Thank you!

I have submitted an update which seems to perform as expected. Before pushing to QA, could you confirm it's working for you correctly as I don't have the appropriate HW to test fully. Available in some minutes unde update_testing
Status: NEW => ASSIGNED
Tested Ok - working - on X86-64 with Intel Core i5-2500 (intel_pstate). However there is a problem in that the plugin in MGA4 is called "CPUfreq" but the updated plugin is "gkrellm-gkfreq". These appear to be two separate projects. So, in order to test the new plugin you need to disable the original CPUfreq (which continues to show 0mhz as per above report) and enable the new plugin.

I wanted to write you yesterday that your update works fine on MGA4 64bit. I want to test it on MGA4 32bit with 1 CPU, but that machine I have to update today.

Same issue found yesterday. For this I do not know, if we have to write a new bug or add it here for you. Next info: I wrote to Christoph Winkelmann, maintainer for CPUfreq plugin, and I did not get any answer yet. When will be plugin modified (like plugin gkfreq), then I will let you know soon!
So I promised you an answer, I have got the mail: > Dear Yullaw, > > Thank you for your feedback.

Probably I should make a remark in that sense on my homepage... > Best regards, > Christoph I think this gkrellm-CPUfreq plugin can be kept as additional (for users uses /proc/acpi only) and gkrellm-gkfreq plugin as default/major (for /proc/acpi and intel_pstate) till development will start again. Or as you wish... NOTE: as homepage is written in "Info" of the plugin gkrellm2-cpufreq 0.6.1, http://chw.tks6.net/gkrellm2-cpufreq/ The homepage is not actual, correct is: http://chw.populus.org/rub/7 NOTE_2: I tested an update gkrellm-plugins-2.3.5-10.1 on MGA4, 32bit, 1 CPU and works fine as on MGA4, 64bit! Thank you for an update ! For me is an issue closed ;) Can be pushed to Core Updates ?
ADD: please, gkrellm2-cpufreq can be updated to latest gkrellm2-cpufreq-0.6.4. (10.2.2012) as well, see homepage...
Moving to QA to allow for an update on this.

Bruno, could you provide a list of RPMs and SRPMs and an advisory to be used with this update? See e.g. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Update_Advisory_Announcement_Example
CC: (none) => remi
Here are the packages to test. Still waiting for an advisory, please. RPMs from 'core-updates_testing' ======================== gkrellm-plugins-2.3.5-10.1.mga4.x86_64.rpm gkrellm-plugins-kam-2.3.5-10.1.mga4.x86_64.rpm gkrellm-plugins-shoot-2.3.5-10.1.mga4.x86_64.rpm gkrellm-plugins-snmp-2.3.5-10.1.mga4.x86_64.rpm gkrellm-plugins-stock-2.3.5-10.1.mga4.x86_64.rpm SRPMs from 'core-updates_testing' ======================== gkrellm-plugins-2.3.5-10.1.mga4.src.rpm
Bruno, could you give feedback on comments 2, 3, 4 and 5? It seems the CPUfreq entry is still shown and still broken, even if your update candidate adds a working gkrellm-gkfreq. IMO it would be best to cater for it in this very update, and either remove the CPUfreq entry or try to update it to a working version (since there are newer versions as per comment 5).
Whiteboard: (none) => feedback
Ah I just see that Bruno was not in CC. Please put yourself in CC when assigning updates to QA Bruno, we need to be able to get feedback from you.

Sorry for that mistake. I've created the adv. I think CPUfreq is still useful (for other cases comared to the intel one), so would like to keep it. I'll make an update to it as well. Maybe we can do that for cauldron and not mga4 ?
Hi, please, leave it and push it for update, works on different types of CPUs (for users uses /proc/acpi (older CPU) = to work has to be enabled plugin gkrellm-CPUfreqfor; for users with CPUs iX Core - intel_pstate = to work has to be enabled plugin gkrellm-gkfreq). For MGA5 should be nice to have completely update to gkrellm2-cpufreq-0.6.4 - (In reply to Martin Volf from comment #5) > ADD: please, gkrellm2-cpufreq can be updated to latest > gkrellm2-cpufreq-0.6.4.

OK, let's push this update. Thanks for the reminder Martin. Based on Deri's and Martin's tests, the update candidate is already fully tested. Validating the update. Bruno already updated the advisory, so this can be pushed.
