Description Alexey Grebenschikov 2009-10-13 16:39:00 UTC 
KDE powerdevel can't detect cpu scaling capability (after hal was updated to sys-apps/hal-0.5.13-r2), so suspend to ram doesn't work properly. sys-apps/hal-0.5.12_rc1-r8 doesn't have such problem.

zsh/2 255 % cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[01]/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
ondemand userspace powersave conservative performance
ondemand userspace powersave conservative performance


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =sys-apps/hal-0.5.13-r2
2. /etc/init.d/dbus restart (in order to restart dbus/hald/consolekit)
3. login to kde
4. go to System Settings -> Advanced (tab) -> Power Management -> Capabilities
5. look at: Scaling capability and Supported CPU Policies

Actual Results:  
Scaling capability: -
Supported CPU Policies: No methods found

Expected Results:  
Scaling capability: +
Supported CPU Policies: ondemand userspace powersave conservative performance

Comment 1 Denis Sokolovsky 2009-10-14 11:58:40 UTC 
I have same problem.
But I think that problem is in some other library. On may system powerdevil stop working correctly after next update:

Comment 3 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-23 15:36:10 UTC 
The capability has not been removed from hal, since gnome-power-manager works fine.  I suspect it's a bug in powerdevil.
Comment 4 Alexey Grebenschikov 2009-10-30 19:12:55 UTC 
after consolekit was updated to consolekit-0.4.1, the issue has gone.
