The only way around it is to create a cronjob as root and reset to ondemand every once and awhile:
cronjob -e add a job (every minute) */1 * * * * /usr/bin/cpufreq-set -g ondemand -d 1000000 -u 1833000 -c 0 */1 * * * * /usr/bin/cpufreq-set -g ondemand -d 1000000 -u 1833000 -c 1 Ugly as hell but at least it keeps the heat and battery drain out of my system. Ubuntu really needs to get a grip on power saving =( Btw. this is Ubuntu 10.10 - the Maverick Meerkat on an IBM X60 -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
