The sample cpufreqd.conf file needs to be updated to reflect changes in the newer version of cpufreqd (Code Listing 3.4: /etc/cpufreqd.conf). In short, each 'section' of the cpufreqd.conf file now needs a 'closing' tag: Sample from Original: [General] pidfile=/var/run/cpufreqd.pid poll_interval=2 pm_type=acpi verbosity=5 Updated example: [General] pidfile=/var/run/cpufreqd.pid poll_interval=2 pm_type=acpi verbosity=5 [/General] It also appears that the 'pm_type' configuration item that appears in the 'General' section no longer exists. It does not appear on the cpufreqd home page example config file and when you run cpufreqd with verbose output it prints out 'parse_config_general : WARNING! skipping config option "pm_type"'/ I also can't find it in the man page for the cpufreqd.conf file.... The only reason I caught this is because I happened to be paying attention to the boot messages. I suspect that a lot of people won't catch this so it may be worth including a message in the next GWN to alert people to this. Thanks!
Already fixed this morning for bug #122017. Thanks for noticing and reporting, though. Have fun reading the updated guide. :)
