I have sort of a personal interest in this as well (so that a friend of mine finally stops complaining :-) ) and it is a part of the PK privileges reshuffling that I still need to do for lucid. In short, we really want to allow some privileges by default for admins on desktop boxes. Amongst those

Indeed, changing the policy from auth_admin_keep to yes does the trick. The package uses quilt for patch management, but also seems to be maintained in BZR on launchpad so I'm not sure how I should go about submitting the change. Do I make a quilt patch and attach the debdiff here? Do I make a

What is wrong with allowing users changing this setting? Worst things is that machine gets slower... Or maybe I am missing something? The password prompt is very annoying and I also change this setting quite often. Wouldn't it be better to just change the policy? -- CPU Frequency Scaling

answer at bugzilla.gnome.org was: hmm, I would report it to launchpad then, since it looks like a PolicyKit or ubuntu issue. Thanks. ** Changed in: gnome-applets (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = New -- CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor asks for authentication all the time

I am affected too. I have to change the governor before playing video, and entering password every time is quite annoying. I fail to see what is the danger of letting an active user to change frequency without authenticating as admin. Why not set 'allow_active' to 'yes' in
