Reason for this bug is a missing default setting in karmic. 1. In user gconf the apps/gnome-power-manager/cpufreq tree is missing completely 2. sysfsutils are not installed by default 3. The gnome-cpu applet cannot save changes permanently
We have a undefined state after boot, the kernel dont know what to do and goes crazy. If a userspace daemon like powernowd is installed or sysfsutils with following conf the situation can be cleared. # # /etc/sysfs.conf - Configuration file for setting sysfs attributes. # # The sysfs mount directory is automatically prepended to the attribute paths. # # Syntax: # attribute = value # mode attribute = 0600 # (any valid argument for chmod) # owner attribute = root:wheel # (any valid argument for chown) # # Examples: # # Always use the powersave CPU frequency governor # devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor = powersave devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor = ondemand This bug duplicates to: 460064, 475706, 434255 -- cpufreq buggy on thinkpad t42 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
