Moved an Ubuntu install from a Ryzen system to my new 10920X X299 system for testing, and can’t for the life of me figure out how to read core frequencies and average clocks from KSysguard. Is there a bug with X299 and Ksysguard?
I’m not getting any meaningful search results with this problem. Is there a problem migrating OS installs (if you install on one machine and transfer the drive to a different machine with different hardware) with Ksysguard or is it a platform issue? I have absolutely no clue where to start to consider the source of the problem. Literally clueless as to why this happens.
The transplanted OS had a different operating system?
Was it still unable to read the hardware info when you purged the program and reinstalled?
No, I moved the drive from one system to another. No reinstalling. It should be read from the same places in /sys
, unless it doesn’t between Ryzen and Intel.
Okay, got a hint when I disabled hyperthreading on my 24 thread 10920X (so it would apply to the 3900X too)
Seems KSysguard (at least version 5.12.9) doesn’t like high amounts of threads, and just refuses to show clock frequencies when threads go above a certain amount. With hyperthreading off, frequency readings return and work normally.
Can 3900X, 3950X and other high core count users confirm this bug? Is this fixed in a later version of KSysguard?
My 20.04 is on only 4 cores, but ksysguard says 5.18.4. This suggests your Ubuntu version is kinda old and unsupported. Maybe booting from a recent iso would suit your purposes.
I’ve done Kubuntu installs in 7 minutes, from download complete to reboot into installed system. (I was testing daily isos and I got a lot of practice.) So unless there’s a lot of software to set up, IMO there’s not much point in migrating an install.
I’ll try Manjaro KDE when I make my big transition to X299.
