[Bug 344252] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand
Same problem here! In fact, the lack of useful powersave settings in Ubuntu (but Linux- based laptops/desktops in general) is annoying me even since I started to use Linux in non-server environments regularly. When will there be a proper setting in ubuntu (or more generic in the designated config tools or a config file) where the user can just select a cpufreq governor him-/herself? Also the ability to distinguish between when on AC power and when on battery could be a great one. Because I would like to have my laptop on ondemand during normal work (so the fan will keep itself quiet) and conservative on battery. Also when using a HTPC or other systems that are turned on the whole day, these settings could be useful. But to confirm the problem: On my 2 Jaunty systems at home, the governor is also performance always. -- CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs

Steps to reproduce a situation for which this bug is still problematic: 1. add cpufreq-selector -g powersave to /etc/rc.local (instead of powersave use your preferred governor) 2. reboot 3. watch governor be reset to ondemand about half a minute after login 4. change governor back to your preferred one again the time it takes for the governor to automatically switch to ondemand after login seems arbitrary. is this intentional? -- CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
[Bug 344252] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand
Not fixed. (for me?) It takes half a minute after login to change from Performance to Ondemand. That's the time i have to wait now to switch it to whatever governor i prefer.

Can this be selectively disabled? When my laptop is on ondemand, it very aggressively scales the CPU down, making the system practically unusable.

[Bug 344252] Re: CPU Frequency Scaling defaults to Performance instead of OnDemand
Even though the latest kernel is still compiled with performance as default governor it appears that once the desktop is loaded the governor is set as ondemand. My guess is that now the governor used is saved on shutdown and reloaded on startup. I am not sure where this is saved and by what application but this bug should be considered closed nevertheless.

There is a script called /etc/init.d/ondemand which sets it to ondemand 60 seconds after boot.

Yep, confirmed here too.
