I guess that powernowd does not start, because "use_ondemand" in the init script is successful.
Matthew said in another bug's comment: "The ondemand governor can react to load changes more quickly than powernowd can, so powernowd exits on machines which support ondemand." (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/powernowd/+bug/74980/comments/1) However, I just came here myself, because the "ondemand" governor does not appear to ignore load caused by niced processes, as powernowd would do. You can change this by: echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load I've prepared a patch for powernowd, which would not use the ondemand governor, if $OPTIONS are given in /etc/default/powernowd and would also activate ignore_nice_load when using the ondemand governor. Please report back, if my guess is right and what you think about this.
