Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install 12.3 or more (happen with kernel-stable 3.12x too 2.Try to read current cpu frequency as user 3.Error Actual Results: Normal users can't read and know what the cur freq of their cpu Expected Results: Being able to read cpu freq information, like others -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
