It is nice, but it doesn't seem to allow me to change the governor or cpu speed. There is a panel that looks like it would, with pull downs for governor and speed, but changing them makes no difference. I think it only indicates. The description of the package also sounds like it is saying displays, not changes. The xfce4-goodies package OTOH includes it as a depend. It advertises it as a "* CPU frequency management plugin (xfce4-cpufreq-plugin)". One of the two descriptions is wrong. One of the things I have noticed with both this and the commandline cpufreq-info util, is that I have only ever seen full and half speed as current speed. I have never seen one of the two intermediate speeds indicated. cpufreq-info does tell me that they have been used some as their percentage use is higher than zero, but checking the speed every second or so seems to miss the speed ramp up or down. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
