 |
|
I found this thread on the fedoraforums which suggested editing /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.service but that caused anything depending on consolekit (which is a lot) to simply not work. How could I bypass consolekit? Having to enter a password everytime I want to change the CPU speed (on a laptop) is very annoying.

Have you tried the following? | Code: | | /etc/init.d/consolekit stop |
Then adding to your /etc/make.conf.
And finally running | Code: | | emerge world --newuse -D |

Okay I did that but now I can't use the CPU frequency scaling applet on my panel. I click on the applet and nothing pops up. The popup menu of frequencies don't show.
[Edit]
Editing the relevant policies in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions fixes the issues. For example changing "no" and "auth_admi" to "yes" in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.gnome.cpufreqselector.policy causes polkit not to prompt you for a password. |

You really change the CPU frequency manually from the panel? |

On my laptop. But yes, I usually leave it at the lowest frequency (933 Mhz) when doing various stuff and when compiling I bump it up to 2.26 Ghz. |
