What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install likwid-3.0 on Ubuntu 3.2.0
2. enable to access to msr device as mentioned in the INSTALL document 
3. attempt to run likwid-powermeter -i as a normal user 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected out is Turbo boost and Peak power information of target processor. 
What I see is instead is the following

rdmsr: failed to open '/dev/cpu/0/msr': Operation not permitted!
       Please check if the msr module is loaded and the device file has correct permissions.
       Alternatively you might want to look into (sys)daemonmode.

What version of the product are you using?

version 3.0

Please provide any additional information below.

I have set the permissions for the dev to be readable and writable by everyone. 
I can run all of the commands just fine using sudo.
