Description Matthias Boettger 2005-07-01 14:18:09 UTC 
I think it is better to define POWERSAVED_CONSIDER_NICE in the scheme files
instead of define it globally in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/cpufreq
The reason is, if my notebook is on AC I want to get full CPU power eg. for
building a package with nice level (1-19). On battery I want to have
POWERSAVED_CONSIDER_NICE=no to save battery life eg. if I need to build a
package during a company meeting ;)
Comment 1 Thomas Renninger 2005-07-01 14:32:29 UTC 
This should work. Just add the variable to the scheme_* file in
/etc/sysconfig/powersave
If this scheme is activitated, the global variable should be overridden.
Or are you talking to make this Yast configurable?
Comment 2 Matthias Boettger 2005-07-01 15:32:59 UTC 
Yes I know this but I want to have this in SL10.0 as default in the scheme files.
Comment 3 Thomas Renninger 2005-09-06 17:17:13 UTC 
This is something for SLES10, but there we should really integrate it...
Comment 4 Thomas Renninger 2005-10-31 17:01:32 UTC 
Done in CVS.
We now also need the graphical front-end.
Jiri, would it be possible to add an additional button:
"Ignore niced processes yes/no" in the YaST power manager for each scheme at the cpufreq stage?
CONSIDER_NICE="no"
Maybe you could do this together with the passiv cooling trip point I asked you in the LBP? These should only be minor things and not take very long. I still need some days to integerate the variable myself ... tell me if you could do that or if this should be assigned to someone else.
... and give me some more days for the Asus ACPI event issue ... I promise I'll have a look at it.
Comment 8 Thomas Renninger 2006-01-09 16:55:10 UTC 
In GLOBAL THERMAL SETTINGS:
Only for passive tp zones/Yes/No
maybe should be better
Only for passive tp zones/All/No
These apply to the global variable (/etc/sysconfig/powersave/thermal):
ENABLE_THERMAL_MANAGEMENT="kernel_passive/kernel/off"
Comment 11 Andreas Jaeger 2006-04-05 20:56:48 UTC 
postponed for 10.2.
Comment 15 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:18:47 UTC 
mass reopening all 10.2 LATER+REMIND bugs.
Comment 16 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:22:52 UTC 
close all 10.2 LATER/REMIND bugs as WONTFIX. Reopen yourself if you still plan to work on it.
