Note: For some reason, the ubuntu/xubuntu 11.10 alternate installer kernel panics when I tried a USB install. I used an xubuntu 11.04 installer, then upgraded all of the 11.04 packages, then upgraded to xubuntu 11.10.
In xubuntu 11.10, the bug as described above still exists: $ echo -n userspace | sudo tee scaling_governor $ echo -n 1400000 | sudo tee scaling_setspeed $ echo -n 1300000 | sudo tee scaling_setspeed $ echo -n 1200000 | sudo tee scaling_setspeed $ echo -n 1100000 | sudo tee scaling_setspeed $ echo -n 1000000 | sudo tee scaling_setspeed <hangs as soon as I hit Enter> Here's some info about this 11.10 installation: $ uname -srvmpio Linux 3.0.0-17-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 20:45:39 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 $ apt-cache policy linux-image-generic linux-image-3.0.0-17-generic: Installed: 3.0.0-17.30 Candidate: 3.0.0-17.30 Version table: *** 3.0.0-17.30 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status The apport information is gathered fro this 11.10 setup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/805205 Title: VIA Nano hangs on some CPU scaling governors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/805205/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
