I have the same problem on my Asus Z71v. Speedstep is supposedly enabled, and will kick in as soon as I unplug the power cord, but when plugged in, it's always at the maximum multiplier. Also when plugged in, any CPU monitoring utilities use up an inordinate amount of the CPU power. System monitor, which took maybe a maximum of 25% of 800 Mhz on Dapper is taking up to 44% of 1.86 Ghz on Feisty- same for gDesklets CPU monitor. when I unplug the notebook, though, this doesn't happen anymore. here are the requested documents for my computer: uname -a Linux Avalon 2.6.20-13-generic #2 SMP Sun Mar 25 00:21:25 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux ** Attachment added: lspci -vv http://librarian.launchpad.net/7146402/lspci%20-vv.odt -- [feisty] CPU scaling ondemand stay at 100% https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99059 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes ! We're on the way of a solution (maybe) I didn't try to switch to battery. So when I'm on battery the Ondemand and Conservative auto scaling works well !! Maybe it's a matter of laptop-mode ?

When I run those commands the behavior seems the same but now the applet don't show any changes (if the CPU is at 100% or at 46%, the icon don't change). I only see the changes with the command : cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep cpu MHz So it don't solve my problem... edit : I have removed and added again the applet and it now show the changes.

Yes, you must have root privileges. Just do a sudo -i before, and then the two commands I gave you (no need to sudo those). When finished type exit. Be careful that you will have full powers over your system with sudo -i (kids, don't try this at home). -- [feisty] CPU scaling ondemand stay at 100% https://launchpad.net/bugs/99059 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Is your cpufreq driver speedstep_centrinoor is it acpi_freq?

[Bug 99059] Re: [feisty] CPU scaling ondemand stay at 100%
We can check if the problem lies with the cpufreq-selector utility or with the cpufreq modules. Remove the CPU frequency scaling applet, and run the following commands: sudo echo ondemand /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq The output of the second command should be 80? I assume you have no process running which are using much cpu, to check it you can use the ps aux command and look at the %CPU column. All numbers must be very small (0 to 2). -- [feisty] CPU scaling ondemand stay at 100% https://launchpad.net/bugs/99059 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
