Well, that didn't quite do the trick. Powersaved was running in 2

(5 and, I think, 3). Running chkconfig -d powersaved turned it off for all levels. I rebooted and got the following --
Error Kpowersave X The powersave daemon is not running Starting it will improve performance. /usr/bin/powersaved start
So now how do I get rid of this message?
I don't have kpowersave installed, so I cannot give a ready answer.
As I recall, I started to uninstall it when I first tried to clean this problem up, but I got a warning about multitudinous packages (including many YaST packages, as I recall) that would be broken if I proceeded. So, I nixed that idea.
Is this a system service (i.e., is kpowersave listed in chkconfig -l)?
Then it can be turned off with chkconfig -d, too.
That's what caused the error message to start showing up each time I logged on.
Or is this a KDE service? Then the KDE control center might have a method to turn it off.
Maybe one can also de-install kpowersave. I don't know which dependencies
I don't think that it's part of KDE. I think it's at a lower level than that. this
might disturb; maybe someone else can elaborate on that.
Yep, that breaks a lot of things.
If that doesn't help, you might want to try another road: Turn on powersave
again (with chkconfig -a), and enter CPUFREQD_MODULE="off" in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/cpufreq.
That's the setting I am (and have been) using. The 3 error messages still show up in the log.
But I don't know if that would get rid of all startup error messages of powersafe,
It won't.
therefore I just shut it down on my non-laptop systems.
And you don't get the error message dialog I get each time you log in? Did you have to change a setting somewhere to tell KDE not to put out that message? Not sure why you can turn it off and not see any errors while I get the error dialog doing the same thing.
