Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-applets
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 with latest updates here (cpufreq-applet version
2.27.92)
I'm running BOINC and as of lately when selecting "ondemand" (which is a
different bug) the cpu goes up to its maximum frequency (it used to stay
at the lowest frequency in intrepid...) so I need to set it manually to
800MHz (lowest frequency on my CPU) after every reboot. When I change
the frequency, I'm asked for my superuser password which is quite
annoying and it wasn't the case in previous versions (intrepid). I hope
this behaviour can be reverted or maybe someone can tell me the resons
for the applet currently needing root permissions.
cheers,
Klaus
