http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=510778 Summary: Oprofile cannot initialize itself because of "cpu_type 'unset' is not valid" Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bartoschek@or.uni-bonn.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.2; Linux) KHTML/4.2.4 (like Gecko) SUSE On a fully upgraded system: When initializing oprofile one gets the following message: cpu_type 'unset' is not valid you should upgrade oprofile or force the use of timer mode The oprofile webpage states that such a message occurs when the user tools do not match the kernel: http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/faq/ I suspect that a recent kernel update causes this problem. An according release of the tools should resolve the prblem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. As root start: opcontrol --init 2. 3. Actual Results: The error is printed and oprofile cannot be used: cpu_type 'unset' is not valid you should upgrade oprofile or force the use of timer mode Expected Results: A correctly initialized oprofile. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
