 |

I installed cpufreqd and used the default configuration file in /etc/cpufreqd.conf. When I ran "/etc/init.d/cpufreqd start", it threw out these error messages:
| Code: | *** buffer overflow detected ***: /usr/sbin/cpufreqd terminated

I don't know does it mean.
Any ideas? |

If you dont get this solved, try powernowd. I made very good experience on Intel and AMD systems with this. One advantage is that it scales the cpu frequency independed on all cores.

It looks like a new patch was integrated into 2.4.2-r1 without doing a version bump! They should have bumped it to r2.
Do an emerge --sync and re-emerge cpufreqd. If you're using a custom ebuild you'll need to integrated the MAX_PATH patch from the portage tree into your ebuild.
I was using a custom ebuild. It was a copy of the 2.4.2-r1 ebuild with an additional patch added in. When they added the new patch without doing a version bump mine broke, too.
Hope this helps. |

That would be very interesting. The segfault of cpufreqd is a "well known" bug. It has something to do with an incompatible version of glibc. There was a discussion on one of the Gentoo bug tracking lists but I cannot find it at the moment. The basic conclusion was that unless the cpufreqd is patched, it will always segfault - unless you downgrade the system's glibc, which is not a sensible thing to do.
Personally, I have switched to cpufrequtils, works fine on my laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad X201i) |

hey. think, that i got it.
what i had:
1] /etc/cpufreqd.conf properly configured
2] when i start /usr/sbin/cpufreqd it works properly
3] rc-update add cpufreqd default
4] and the problem: it wasn't able to start daemon while booting
so i checked /etc/init.d/cpufreqd by vim, like this: | Code: | | #vim /etc/init.d/cpufreqd |
found start() function
and there was line:
| Code: | start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/cpufreqd -- \
-f ${CONFIGFILE} |
in fact, this line runs command "/usr/sbin/cpufreqd -- -f /etc/cpufreqd.conf" which have problem with syntax, so..
because i dont need special config files for cpufreqd, i can make every changes in /etc/cpufreqd.conf, it means that i dont need the -f parameter and certainly i don't like -- parameter, which imho caused the error.

the most important is edited start() function

sorry to reply late.
I tried. It truly starts but when I check the status, it give "crashed" |

Well, you didn't "solve" the problem. You may have found a quick fix (or a "workaround") - you have cured the symptom but the underlying disease remains 
The problem with cpufreqd is exactly with the string handling functions which are used to manipulate file names, and somehow somewhere there is an error. Indeed, if you don't specify the log file then cpufreqd does not need to manipulate the file name and it will probably not crash.
However, until the string handling error is solved in the source of cpufreqd you have not solved the bug  |

Thanks. Frankly speaking, I don't totally understand what you are talking about. I still don't know where I could start to fix the string error. In this case, waiting may be a choice. Anyway, everything that I do aims at fixing my fan problem. I have to try everything about power management to find where the problem is(still don't find it). In fact, I don't really need cpufreqd, as the cpu frequency control works well even without cpufreqd. |

Thanks. One question.
Given that the status is marked "unconfirmed", does it mean that the patch hasn't been put into the cpufreqd package in the emerge tree? so that it will change nothing if I remerge cpufreqd from emerge tree? |

to be this line
| Code: | | start-stop-daemon --stop --exec /usr/sbin/cpufreqd |
Also worked here.
Sorry if i posted this in an old thread. however, i can now throttle my cpu with a command. which is nice.
[edit] this actually did not work. the program started, but once i set a governor the cpu would not throttle. too, i could not return the cpu to any other speed with the command . so i did what i should have done in the first place and that was to have paid attention to the thread and then follow the gentoo wiki. my CPU now throttles as it should.

I do not have this problem.
In the past I ever had troubles with Cpufreqd on other distributions than Gentoo. So I stop to use it and just set the cpu frequency policy with Cpufrequtils. Recently, I came back to Cpufreqd on Debian and start using it with Gentoo too. After setting /etc/cpufreqd.conf properly to make Cpufreqd do what I want, it start, stop, restart and status normally on both systems. It is set to start at boot time and never fail. I got exactly what I set when I execute the cpufreqd-get command
| Code: | cpufreqd-get
Name (#1): Conservative
Active on CPU#: 0, 1
Governor: conservative
Min freq: 1400000
Max freq: 2700000
Name (#2): Powersave
Governor: powersave
Min freq: 1400000
Max freq: 1400000 |
and Cpufreqd behave accordingly. I never edit /etc/init.d/cpufreqd. ps and rc-service tell me
| Code: | ps aux|grep cpufreqd
root 2473 0.2 0.0 43816 1324 ? Ssl janv.29 13:31 /usr/sbin/cpufreqd -f /etc/cpufreqd.conf
gnu 26149 0.0 0.0 12356 960 pts/0 S+ 20:00 0:00 grep --colour=auto cpufreqd |
| Code: | sudo rc-service cpufreqd status
* status: started |
These are my Cpufreqd and Glilc versions
| Code: | equery l cpufreqd glibc
* Searching for cpufreqd ...
[IP-] [ ] sys-power/cpufreqd-2.4.2-r2:0
* Searching for glibc ...
[IP-] [ ] sys-libs/glibc-2.17:2.2 |
