Description Piotr 2009-04-25 20:43:05 UTC

I guess that due to some changes in hal/hal-info/dbus (don't know which exactly) kpowersave can't get the current cpu governor and change the cpu governor.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge kpowersave
2. run kpowersave
3. try to change the cpu frequency policy

Actual Results:  
Info about failure.

Expected Results:  
Info about succesfull change of cpu governor

I found that this is because of dbus. It also affects other applications like kdebluetooth (bug #267378).

As mentioned in the other bug adding this line to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf should fix this:

     <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.CPUFreq"/>

Nice, it really should fix it. Are there some agregating bugs for the new dbus issues?

Is it in the tree already? can i close this as fixed?
