I've being using this indicator happily till today. Now it is crashing with message above.
What has changed in y system since it was working is gnome-settings-daemon was updated:
gnome-settings-daemon (3.22.1-0ubuntu2) to 3.23.3-0ubuntu1
gnome-settings-daemon-schemas (3.22.1-0ubuntu2) to 3.23.3-0ubuntu1

I've fixed first warnings as suggested in warning message manually, but still left with:
 nazar-pc  ~  indicator-cpufreq

I found a reason of this issue. There was indeed another change in my system: I've disabled EIST (Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology) in UEFI. Enabling it back fixes this issue. Is this something that might be fixed?
