Description Thomas Herzog 2006-02-05 10:24:47 UTC 
Hi, I am on 10.1m Beta3 and my kpowersave does not show power schemes, cpu frequency settings nor any suspend button.

Also, the "Logoff" screen does not give the "suspend" button.

powersave daemon is running, frequency scaling is enabled (Centrino) with on-demand governor (cpufreq-info says so).

I have installed a customized DSDT to fix my battery status, now it all seems to work apart from the missing entries in Log Off and kpowersave menu.

dmesg says cpufreq is enabled:

what say powersave -c -x ? Is hal running (ps aux | grep hal)?

Thomas, you forget to switch back the bug to ASSIGNED. :-(

(While in NEEDINFO state, the developers won't see it...)

This is simply incorrect, we see them!
Comment 5 Holger Macht 2006-02-06 09:47:33 UTC 
I have to admit, I'm pretty helpless ;-)

Thomas, can you please log in as root and check whether this changes anything? A 'ps aux | grep dbus' could also be helpful, but I daubt this will give use new information because all the powersave command seem to produce right output.
Comment 6 Danny Al-Gaaf 2006-02-22 18:33:15 UTC 
Any news here? reproduceable with beta4 ?
Comment 7 Thomas Herzog 2006-02-22 18:38:07 UTC 
In Beta4 all right!
Comment 8 Danny Al-Gaaf 2006-02-22 19:18:28 UTC
