I'm changing it to incomplete because I want to know why only when variable OPTIONS is equal to '-q' the use_ondemand if verified?
powernowd starts (in intrepid) if OPTIONS='' or OPTIONS='-v', but not when OPTIONS='-q' I think that a better method is to do somenthing like set a new var PREFER_ONDEMAND_IF_SUPPORTED='true' (var name is too long, don't use it) and verify it. the manpage of powernowd says: -q Quiet mode, only emergency output. on init.d of intrepid: use_ondemand() { if [ "$OPTIONS" != "-q" ]; then return 1 fi status=1 # return error, if no cpu dirs are found for x in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]*/; do if [ ! -d $x ] || [ ! -f $x"cpufreq/scaling_governor" ]; then continue fi echo -n ondemand > $x"cpufreq/scaling_governor" status=$? if [ $status != 0 ]; then return $status fi # The default behaviour of powernowd is to ignore nice load: if [ -f $x"cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load" ]; then echo -n 1 > $x"cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load" fi done return $status } ** Changed in: powernowd (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Incomplete -- powernowd doesn't start with init script https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
