I am getting troubled with powersaved going into some kind of zombie state where I have to kill and restart it every once a so often.
What does that mean -- what are the symptoms of this zombie state? And do you just kill and restart the daemon?
Sometimes after resuming, I notice that cpu throttling etc. powersave functions are not working. This seems to be because powersaved is running but seems to be "stuck" somehow. This can be easily seen by doing powersave -c This normally gives either PERFORMANCE or DYNAMIC as output - if powersaved is working properly. When, powersaved hangs powersave -c does not output anything and does not terminate. In this case, cpu throttling etc. also stops working. I have to do pkill -9 powresaved usr/sbin/rcpowersaved restart And, then things are working back to normal. -- Osho
