CPU Frequency Applet isn't configurable since Feisty

[John Doe]

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

Since Feisty-Final, it isn't possible any longer to select CPU-Frequencies or Governors. Before, this was possible after "sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector", but this has no effect now.

Thank you for your bug. To confirm by somebody having a CPU allowing frequency change. Not likely a gnome-applets bug which didn't change from months, reassigning to linux

Nearly the same problem here.
With Feisty upgrade, the Scaling Governor was changed to "performance", but "ondemand" was still available anyway and I could change it back.
Yesterday, I installed security updates that had been announced through Adept. Afterwards, no Governorns are available at all.
There should be sth. like "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor" but instead, under "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/" there are only one file "crash_notes" and a folder "topology/" with four files "core_id, physical_package_id, core_siblings, thread_siblings" in it.

I'd like to have my comments removed. My problem is solved and does not belong to this bug .

nordlicht.ol, now that the 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon release of Ubuntu is out, we were wondering if you can still reproduce this issue. Could you please download and try the new version of Ubuntu from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and report back your results. If the issue is still present in the new release, please attach the following information:

* uname -a > uname-a.log
* cat /proc/version_signature > version.log
* dmesg > dmesg.log
* sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log

Please be sure to attach each file as a separate attachment. For more information regarding the kernel team bug policy, please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies . Thanks again and we appreciate your help and feedback.

Ok, in Gutsy it works. After a "sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector", everything is confurable vie the applet. But why is this behavior not the default? Would be very useful for Notebook-Users...

Thanks for the reply. I've triaged this as a wishlist request against linux-source-2.6.22. However against linux-source-2.6.20, this bug does not meet the criteria for a stable release update and is being marked as Won't Fix. You can learn more about the stable release update process at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . Thanks!
