YUM default platform setting

<< < (2/3) > >>

I found the easiest way to turn off hyperthreading was to go into the UEFI bios and do it there. once done it stays done but can be very hard to find,

Martin Vieregg:
I only found a switch to turn off SMT. But if I understand right, this is not the same. Symmetric Multi Threading means several cores are used for one thread each, and Hyperthreading means two threads are running on the same core. Is that right? Of course I still want to use all my cores.

Martin Vieregg:
I have tried now the SMT setting in the BIOS (advanced - CPU). ArcaOS has got still the four pulse graphs. So it seems that SMT and Hyperthreading is the same indeed.

Martin Vieregg:
After starting the Computer without SMT (Hyperthreading), "i686" appears as platform. So this seems to be the reason of choice. But anyway, updating all YUM stuff (while updating, it turns to "pentium4" again) does not help. So it seems that meanwhile, a package has changed and omits running OpenOffice. YUM seems to be a big construction zone in ArcaOS.
Next, I will try to copy the whole YUM directories from the corret installtion to the problem installation and will report here next week.

Hi

I have a confusion about i686 and petium4 on the rpm packages.

I have ArcaOS 5.06, ANPM 1.06. My test VM used to have all the packages as i686, on the lastest update of poppler it started to give me some error, so I uninstalled poppler with ANPM and I reinstalled it. On the reinstall it got installed as pentium4. Then I reinstalled Qt5 and it also shows as pentium4.

What it is supposed to be the preferred package? i686 or pentium4? depending on what? Did I missed some documentation or post explaining the differences?

I also have a non technical issue with the "petium4" name category on the packages, since it is trademarked word from Intel, but is just my OCD.

Regards
