Second version of the script :D http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1333955/cpu.tar.gz
Very simple GUI only with a button to set all the CPU cores to the performance governor. This script now does not depends on the the gnome-applets package (cpufreq-selector). Most of the functions arent inside de GUI class to allow integration with other GUIs or already made software. 2011/6/18 Ralf Mardorf <[email protected]>: > On Sat, 2011-06-18 at 09:59 -0400, Mike Holstein wrote: >> here is the next meeting agenda if one of you would like to add this >> issue there and come and get the wheels >> turning https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Meetings/2011July3 >> >> >> i suppose the first logical question is, *can* we physically address >> the CPU scaling issue, and it looks like its something that can be >> implemented with a script. the other reason why maybe this >> cant/shouldn't be done could be something to do with security or >> something else i am unaware of. would one of you like to check on >> this?? > > Security isn't an issue anymore, since policykit does make it secure.
