The default init script for speedfreq includes the line: /usr/sbin/speedfreqd -P /var/run/speedfreq.pid -p ${SPEEDFREQ_SPEED} {SPEEDFREQ_OPTS} However, this fails to run: root@host / $ /etc/init.d/speedfreq start Usage: /usr/sbin/speedfreqd [-fqsuDPV] [-p policy] -p P set policy to P -u OK for users to set policy -D print debug messages (implies -F) -F stay in foreground (don't become daemon) -P create a pid file /var/run/speedfreq.pid -V version information Available policies: powersave maximise power savings performance maximise performance dynamic adjust speed according to CPU load (default) NNN set CPU to a fixed speed of NNN MHz This appears to be because the -P option does not support specifying the pid file, instead the line should be: /usr/sbin/speedfreqd -P -p ${SPEEDFREQ_SPEED} {SPEEDFREQ_OPTS} Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to run default init script 2. 3.
Could you please reemerge speedfreq and try again? I had this bug some weeks ago and i think i already fixed it... mobile root # /etc/init.d/speedfreq restart * Stopping speedfreq... [ ok ] * Starting speedfreq... [ ok ] mobile root # Please emerge 0.7.2 and report back. (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge =speedfreq-0.7.2)
Whoops, forgot to merge the masked version before submitting. Yes, the maksed version starts properly. :)
Great, so i can close this bug now and unmask the other version.
