cpu scaling not work? #16

Closed claudio1983 closed 11 years ago

claudio1983 commented 11 years ago

I'm having a problem. I can not select the frequency of my processor. I have the program installed cpufreq-selector and gnome-applets In "gnome 3 fallback" can select any frequency of my processor, but does not work in "default" gnome 3 I wonder how can I enable the selection of the processor frequency in gnome 3.

Debian 7.1.0, Gnome 3.4

Thank you for your attention

Typing cpufreq-info in the command line should give you a list of available governors(ex: conservative, ondemand,...).

Once you see which are available, you can try to set the governor with cpufreq-selector, ex: cpufreq-selector -c 1 -g conservative

it should tell you if anything is wrong, in which case, you should refer to your distribution documentation.

Good luck.

with the command line can change the cpufreq governor smoothly. But I would be able to choose the frequency of my processor by extension cpufreq.

Here'm using "gnome fallback" where I can select the frequency that I desire. Screenshot gnome fallback cpufreq2

However the extension cpufreq not give me that option. Screenshot gnome 3 with extension cpufreq cpufre

I would select the frequency of my processor using the extension cpufreq but without being in fallback mode, it is possible?
