Hi Scaine, Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux 344252 Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

[Bug 344252] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand
Just a me too. I would prefer that I be able to select the default CPU freq mode persistently. So there are two issues here: (1) the wrong default (should be ondemand), and (2) the mechanism for overriding the default, already an ugly hack, (/etc/init.d/ondemand) no longer works. Why not just start in 'ondemand'? If the frequency scaler really does respond to CPU demand, then it should work the same as 'performance' on boot-up anyway. ** Changed in: cpufreqd (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = Confirmed -- CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344252 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

Same problem here! In fact, the lack of useful powersave settings in Ubuntu (but Linux- based laptops/desktops in general) is annoying me even since I started to use Linux in non-server environments regularly. When will there be a proper setting in ubuntu (or more generic in the designated config tools or a config file) where the user can just select a cpufreq governor him-/herself? Also the ability to distinguish between when on AC power and when on battery could be a great one. Because I would like to have my laptop on ondemand during normal work (so the fan will keep itself quiet) and conservative on battery.

since this bug in its original form is fixed, should i make a new bug report for the problem mentioned above? -- CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344252 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
[Bug 344252] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand
Steps to reproduce a situation for which this bug is still problematic: 1. add cpufreq-selector -g powersave to /etc/rc.local (instead of powersave use your preferred governor) 2. reboot 3. watch governor be reset to ondemand about half a minute after login 4. change governor back to your preferred one again the time it takes for the governor to automatically switch to ondemand after login seems arbitrary. is this intentional? -- CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344252 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
[Bug 344252] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand
Not fixed. (for me?) It takes half a minute after login to change from Performance to Ondemand. That's the time i have to wait now to switch it to whatever governor i prefer. Because if i set it to Powersave immediately after login it gets switched back to Ondemand after that half minute. -- CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344252 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
[Bug 344252] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand
Can this be selectively disabled? When my laptop is on ondemand, it very aggressively scales the CPU down, making the system practically unusable. I would much rather the CPU go to ondemand when using battery and be on performance when on AC power. -- CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344252 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

[Bug 344252] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand
Even though the latest kernel is still compiled with performance as default governor it appears that once the desktop is loaded the governor is set as ondemand. My guess is that now the governor used is saved on shutdown and reloaded on startup. I am not sure where this is saved and by what application but this bug should be considered closed nevertheless.

[Bug 344252] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand
There is a script called /etc/init.d/ondemand which sets it to ondemand 60 seconds after boot. It is part of the initscripts package and I guess the purpose of this is to speed up booting by using the performance scheduler during boot. -- CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344252 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

[Bug 344252] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand
Whenever I boot the system, the governor is set to Performance by default, and I would have to change it back to Ondemand every time. It gets very annoying, and I would really like a choice in choosing what speed governor I use when I'm on AC power and on battery power. -- CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344252 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
[Bug 344252] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand
Yep, confirmed here too. Even when updating /sys/devices/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governer (for both my CPUs), it still reverts back to Performance on next boot, so clearly there's a script over-writing this. I thought there might be something in /etc/default, but I can't see anything relevant at a glance (I'm no expert). -- CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344252 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
