Hi,

I just have installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS on my HP laptop with Intel CORE i7 processor. CPU fan has been running at full speed most of the time. I found out that performance governor was set (by default) and CPU clock was always very high.

I fixed by editing /etc/default/cpufrequtils
ENABLE=true # default
GOVERNOR=powersave

No I have "powersave" mode after booting by default and quite CPU fan. Clock is now ~1.2 GHz when idling while it is automatically increased on higher load.

I just wanted to file a bug suggesting to set the governor to "powersave" by default and found this on.

According to the state of this bug report this should already be fixed. Is there a regression in Ubuntu 14.04.x Trusty Tahr?
