Comment 137 for bug 370173

after week on windows, ubuntu has updates including -13 kernel... after which machine fails to boot! physically on-off, then boot. no programs running except boinc client with extra low processor/memory usage settings (intrepid ran same shit with default settings) and darn thing keeps stepping both cores up to 2G. idle intrepid ran at 800M. always.

now start firefox and... i am sorry to say, week on the windows kinda got me used to actually being able to use this thing as a laptop! after jaunty upgrade, same shock first made me search for a solution but after seeing longlasting inactivity/undeceided-ness @https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/361123 i dont know anymore what to think.

nice -applications should not affect cpu@ondemand. and they didnot @intrepid. looks like they do @jaunty. or at least someting weird goes on at this up/down stepping department, to say the least.

what i can see for sure, is that god-damn 2 core's speed/govenor can/should be set independently since jaunty. is that not the direction to look at?

anyway, that bs really got me now. back in a day i already lost 2 hard-disks thanks to those laptop-mode (or whatever) issues. now it seems like its really time for os-change, before this shit burns my pants off or catches fire by itself.

hopefully will those rushed-out releases stop eventually, if there's any users left to release them for.
