You might consider using the applet named Shut Down instead. If you click it, you can select suspend from the dialog that appears, and it will put the machine in a low power state, one that's easily and quickly restored from, by pressing a key. On my Thinkpad, suspend reduces power from 35 to 5 watts and restores in around six seconds. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

My girlfriend needs to save power when she is away from her pc, and she is lazy! :) In that case, wouldn't you want the computer to automatically scale the CPU speed, rather than set it via any technique? That's how my laptop's set up, it always runs at the slowest speed until some intensive task comes along. Though it's still running Fedora 9, not the current release. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

how users can change cpu frequency ?
Hi all, I'd like to permit to users to scaling the cpu frequency using the applet cpu scaling inside gnome without typing root password. How can I do it?

How can I do it? If that can be done with a command, add the user and command to sudoers with the NOPASSWD option. #visusdo add the following line: user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:command then your user can use sudo command You may also grant this access to a group. It may be better to grant the access in sudoers to a group, then add individuals to the group as needed. Normally with sudo, the user will be prompted for their own password, but if you want no passwd prompt at all, use the NOPASSWD option as shown above Something else to consider adding to sudoers... Defaults passprompt = [sudo] Please enter the password %p: Otherwise the prompt will simply be Password: and it's not very clear which password is being asked for. With the above line in effect, it's clear the prompt is coming from sudo, and which password is required. :-) -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
