Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: initscripts
The ondemand script in the initscripts package is all very well, but the
60 second pause before activation is both arbitrary, and in my case,
wrong.
The comment next to it suggests that the 60 seconds is to allow the
desktop to be logged in before the CPU govener is changed. however my
laptop gets from grub to desktop in 17 seconds and then I have to wait
up to one minute from then for my CPUs to be put into ondemand mode.
Given I can have CPU frequency panel applets which can change the
frequency govener; why is the ondemand setting not an XDG autostart app
which uses the same communications channels to set the govener after the
desktop has started?
It took me quite some time to track down that this was the issue as I
was, from a user point of view, simply seeing that my CPU govener choice
of ondemand was not being preserved across reboots, yet if I left my
laptop alone for a bit after booting, the CPUs "suddenly" went into
ondemand mode.
