Here is the updated debdiff for Jaunty.
I removed the g-p-m stuff and updated the package description. Should
apply to intrepid package also, since it is the same version.
Gatopeich: While I agree that it is somewhat misleading to hijack the
powernowd package, changing that is beyond the scope
This bug was fixed in the package powernowd - 1.00-1ubuntu3

* debian/init.d: Don't use ondemand governor if it is not working
for the particular hardware. Thanks to Daniel Gimpelevich for the
improved patch. (LP: #223812,
I see. According to you...
* The fix is wrong (essentially because it makes the package do what
description says).
* Package description is wrong (apparently in order to support your
previous assertion).
* Package name is wrong too, it should be named anything-is-better-
than-powernowd.

What you are proposing is hijacking powernowd package for a purpose
which would be better acomplished in other ways.
No, I'm informing you that this is *already* the purpose of the package
in Ubuntu. And ondemand *is* better than powernowd (see what upstream
kernel power management developers
gatopeich's proposed fix is incorrect. The powernowd package in Ubuntu
implements Ubuntu's default power management policy, which
/deliberately/ does not use powernowd+cpufreq_userspace if a better
governor (ondemand) is available. So that init script would be a
definite regression in another
This bug is also reproducible on my ibook: The /etc/init.d/powernowd
script exits gracefully thinking that the ondemand govenrnor has been
loaded when it actually failed.
I fixed the script by not checking the ondemand stuff and just running
powernowd.

I hit this bug after upgrading an IBM Thinkpad T22, and I can confirm
that gatopeich's fixed /etc/init.d/powernowd file appears to have fixed
it.

I also confirm that gatopeich's version of the powernowd script works
for me also.
A small secondary effect is that the gnome cpufreq-applet does not allow
to change the governor. Instead of proposing powersave, performance and
so on..., it only shows performance which actually throttles the
