Guidance Needed! Initial LinuxCNC/PncConf setup

The single core thing is probably a BIOS option

I do not see anything in bios that is related to that. Hmm

Well I have researched this issue and have come up with no solutions.

I thought maybe I had implemented the isolcpus command at some point but I could not find any evidence of that. I wonder if I were to use that to enable all cpu's at boot if that would turn them on?

Can someone tell me how to add this to my boot process?

If not, I wonder if wiping the computer and doing a fresh install will fix this?

I ran the following command:
sudo dmidecode -t 4

And the results shown at the bottom shows 6 cores as Active.
 

Am I reading this correctly? How do I tell for sure what cores are active?
 

Sounds like all cores are enabled

latency histogram does this:

set cores "1_core"
catch {set cores "$procinfo(cpu_cores) cores"};# item may not exist
catch {set cores "[exec getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN] cores"};# could fail?

I don't have procinfo on my test machine but the second succeeds:

getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN

Does that work on your machine?

Input:
getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN

Result:
1

What does this mean? What do I need to do next?

What happens if you run top and hit "1" ?

Only one CPU is running, weird....

cat /proc/cmdline
