FAQs
- Why CPU is 100% after desktop is idle for some minutes?
Rock2 square supports dynamic cpu frequency. The cpu can run as low as 126Mhz and as high as 1.8Ghz depends on the task load. This saves power. If you want to let the cpu ran at 1.8Ghz all the time. Run echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
- How to boot Rabian in console/text mode
sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
To start GUI from text mode:
sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm start
To go back to GUI mode:
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
To get the current run-level:
sudo systemctl get-default
