The only thing You may set - which governor to use, like: echo powersave /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor though default one (I think it is 'performance-on-demand' or like that) should take of it well. Your problem is missing util.s/modules. If You have the above packages installed, then check if You have the modules loaded: cpufreq_ondemand acpi_cpufreq powernow-k8 You do check w/ lsmod |grep -E 'cpufreq|powernow' command. In my experience, it was not, so I added it to /etc/modules and rebooted the machine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

sources.list configuration
Hello, I have just migrated from a debian based distro to Debian Squeeze 6.0.3 amd64 lxde. I want to install xchat on my machine but when I do:apt-get install xchat in the root terminal, it returns nothing.

Re: sources.list configuration
Thanks Balint for the reply but I want to do it using apt-get from the terminal. If it helps, I tried doing apt-get install vlc instead of xchat and it returns me: Reading package lists...
