Yes, I have. But I don't know what it means. Please inform me.

difference between /proc/cpuinfo and AMD product specs
by Robert P. J. Day
undoubtedly going to regret asking this, but i installed f12 on a
gateway laptop, whose /proc/cpuinfo reads (in part):
model name : AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60
stepping : 2
cpu MHz : 800.000
...
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca
cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt
rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good extd_apicid pni cx16 lahf_lm
cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy 3dnowprefetch
the above *seems* to suggest an oddly slow processor (800 MHz), but
the "svm" flag tells me it has AMD H/W virt support, correct?
however, if i pop over to the corresponding(?) AMD page:
http://products.amd.com/en-na/NotebookCPUDetail.aspx?id=18&f1=&f2=&f3=&f4...
that page suggests that that processor is 2 GHz, but that there is
*no* H/W virt support.
i'm confused. am i just misreading something?

OpenOffice and password protected encrypted .docx files?
by mike cloaked
Can anyone advise me on the following problem?
I have been sent a .docx which was created in MS Office 2007, and encrypted
with a password that is needed to open it. In the past if anyone sent me an
open .docx file then OpenOffice in F12 would open it without any problems.
However the password protected file appears not to be accessible in
OpenOffice, and attempting to open the file does not ask for a password and
won't play ball. Since I don't have MS Office 2007 the question is whether
I can open the file at all?
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks

wireless network problems
by n2xssvv.g02gfr12930
How do any of you out there manage your wireless routers? I have a
GetNet 534W wireless router, and use knetworkermanager to control my
ethernet connection. Unfortunately I have yet to find a reliable way of
managing the wireless connection, especially as i would prefer some sort
of security. Just for the record I did manage to make wireless
connections both open and secure, but cannot seem to manage this
reliably. Any ideas?

Problems after installation with frequent locks
by Antonio M
I am helping a friend of mine to set up his machine with Fedora 12
1) we installed by DVD and it was o.k
2) after rebooting we set up the user
3) we started to upgrade with latest updates (but at the moment we
have not yet upgraded kernel) with Package kit
4) we are experiencing system locks very often
5) we are using an AMD system with 2 Gb of Ram and an ATI graphic card
if after kernel updating shall experience such locks, what shall I try??
The computer is working great with Windows, so we discarded any
hardware problems.
Tnx

I have the same if I look in /proc/cpuinfo
In Gnome you can add "CPU frequency scaling monitor" to the panel and
select settings.

Machine hanging during video encoding process
by Steve Malenfant
I got a Shuttle XPC SN78SH7 with an AMD X2 4400+ which I have installed with
Fedora Core 12 (not much choice, the nvidia chipset doesn't work in released
before that, including Centos 5).
I've been trying to run Handbrake for about 3 times now, the machine just
completely stops responding with not even a trace of anything. The monitor
goes black so I can't really see where it stopped.
I've configured lm-sensors and sysstat but I guess I need to record the data
every X seconds to see where it would hang. Maybe the cause is heat or
something else.
What should I be looking for?
Thanks.

SELinux detecting suspicious behavior on my system
by Kevin Kempter
Hi All;
I've seen several of the below SELinux messages recently, I do have root
logins disables in my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file:
<snip>
PermitRootLogin no
</snip>
Any thoughts on this? Is it cause for concern?
======================================================
SELinux message:
======================================================
Summary:
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkitd "search" access on
/root/.config.
Detailed Description:
[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]
SELinux denied access requested by polkitd. It is not expected that this
access
is required by polkitd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is
also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.
Allowing Access:
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

turning off bug-buddy
by Greg Woods
Is there any way to turn off bug-buddy in Gnome? On one of my systems I
run a full-screen app that occasionally crashes, and when it does,
bug-buddy pops up and since the crashed app covers the entire screen, I
can't see the mouse pointer ti get it into the bug-buddy window to get
rid of it, and since it's a third-party app, bug-buddy is useless
anyway. When this happens, I have to go to one of the text consoles and
issue a "killall bug-buddy" command to recover.
