https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230945 Summary: No way to adjust CPU frequency using powersave Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: 32bit OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: krienke@uni-koblenz.de QAContact: qa@suse.de On my Intel P4 3.00GhZ machine usinf 10.2 I am unable to set the CPU frequency mode eg to "adaptive" by calling powersave -A (powersaved is running). The error message is: robotnik:/home/krienke # powersave -A liblazy (liblazy_dbus_send_method_call:71): Received error reply: Method "SetCPUFreqGovernor" with signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.CPUFreq" doesn't exist liblazy (liblazy_dbus_send_method_call:71): Received error reply: Method "SetCPUFreqGovernor" with signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.CPUFreq" doesn't exist Could not set CPUFreq policy to dynamic. This used to work fine in SuSE 10.0 on the very same machine and was very helpful to zhave the machine run more silently (less CPU frequency->less heat) when no work had to be done. During bootup the module p4-clockmod is also *not* loaded by default so access to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq to set eg a minimal frequency is not possible (also worked by default in 10.0). Manually loading the module this works but calling powersave -A is still not possible and results in the error message show above. Starting powersaved I can see the following error messages in /var/log/messages: Dec 27 06:00:02 robotnik rcpowersaved: s2ram does not know your machine. See 's2 ram -i' for details.
