Title: cpufreq-selector hangs Status in “gnome-applets” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-applets In Unbuntu 9.10, cpufreq-selector hangs from the command line. If I enter something like "cpufreq-selector -c 0 -g ondemand", nothing happens. Literally. The only way to get back to a prompt is to use Ctl-C. The -h option works, but -c, -f, or -g hang if used with valid arguments. If used with invalid arguments, it gives an error message, and then hangs.
