The Lenovo T450s Is Working Beautifully With Linux

I was about to post that before ya asked lol.

[egriffith@eric-laptop ~]$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/games/:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/egriffith/.local/bin:/home/egriffith/bin


ccache is before /usr/bin, therefore the /usr/lib64/ccache/{gcc,g++,clang,etc} will all get picked before /usr/bin/{gcc,g++,clang,etc} thus silently using ccache.

Yep, that'd be it. PTS could remove ccache from the PATH, though not sure if that's the right behavior to do or not.

CCACHE_DISABLE may do something. The docs were rather unclear

I'm a Journalism student in the US, I'm interning under Michael this summer for college credit. I'll be writing a few articles a week or month, giving Michael's work a second set of eyes when possible, writing reviews if necessary, stuff like that. Critiques of my work, as long as they are constructive and polite, are appreciated.

man ccache implies that ccache can be selectively disabled by setting the environment variable:

CCACHE_DISABLE=1

If you want to try latest Git or just this patch (https://github.com/phoronix-test-sui...aef2b43dc249d3), that'd be great. Wasn't aware of this env var before but hopefully will avoid ccache usage. Thanks.

Test are running, they seem to be working but I'm gonna run the benchmark twice to be sure.

Patch worked, now getting a consistent result of ~280seconds

Great! Thanks for testing. Now that explains those odd results.

Problem with KVM

Hi Eric,

Did you have problem with KVM?

For some reason, Lenovo disabled all visualization extension bits on my Flex 2 14D so that I cannot even use KVM.
Always a red warning in 'dmesg' saying it was disabled by bios.
