This is happening for me as well on Gutsy Tribe 2, and I have a P4. I believe it occurred under Tribe 1 as well. It appears that the microcode module is not loaded when the package installs. The software is installed, it's just not functional. If you manually run the program, you get:
microcode_ctl: writing microcode (length: 293888) microcode_ctl: cannot open /dev/cpu/microcode for writing errno=2 (No such file or directory) I noticed the module was not loaded, so I ldid a " modprobe microcode" before running it, and got: microcode_ctl: writing microcode (length: 293888) microcode_ctl: microcode successfuly written to /dev/cpu/microcode But in the syslog, a different error is coming up after the modprobe is done Jul 8 20:00:19 localhost kernel: [ 3580.303452] IA-32 Microcode Update Driver: v1.14a <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jul 8 20:00:19 localhost firmware_helper[13116]: main: error loading '/lib/firmware/intel-ucode/0f-02-04' for device '/class/firmware/microcode' with driver '(unknown)' Also, in the past I thought the program would report the version of microcode that it updated upon a successful update. I'm not seeing that now. But it looks like two issues are present, the kernel driver is not loading, and the firmware helper seems confused on what it is supposed to do. -- package microcode.ctl 1.17-1 failed to install: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 128 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123145 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
