Description episteme promeneur 2011-10-03 16:54:23 CEST

Description of problem

there is no cpu frequence management

it's useful to save energy but also to decrease cpu temperature

i see there is a soft "hald-addon-cpuf" wich runs in foreground.

but with a frequency displayer i see the frequence is always the same : the maximum

addendum : how to activate cpu frequence management ?

What desktop do you use?

i don't search any plasma widget

i say it's normal to install cpu frequence management in a modern distribution even for a desktop not only for a laptop.

in mandriva by default you have power management.

there is some confusion about what you want.

Is the cpufrequtils package what you need?

(Thx, |Frederik, for pointing me to that package)

by default a modern distribution must install cpu frequence management

Mageia installs the cpufreq package by default if it thinks your CPU supports CPU frequency scaling. Check with rpm -q cpufreq whether it was installed.

If it was not installed on your system, you will need to provide /root/drakx/report.bug.gz so that developers can find out why it was not installed on your system.

Comment 8 Sander Lepik 2012-01-18 15:03:08 CET

IMHO it's not installed on desktop?

Comment 9 episteme promeneur 2012-01-18 15:19:54 CET

my pc is a desktop with 5 Gb memory

the cpu supports cpu frquency scaling (AMD 64 X2 5000+)

i made my test with mageia 32 bit
