Bug Description

Binary package hint: kde-guidance

On the latest development version of Fiesty, run 'guidance-power-manager'.

 It will fail, looking for a nonexistent file in /sys.

Observe:

File "/usr/share/python-support/kde-guidance/powermanage.py", line 337, in getCpuState
    state['cur'] = int(_readValue("/sys/devices/system/cpu/"+cpu+"/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq"))/1000
  File "/usr/share/python-support/kde-guidance/powermanage.py", line 42, in _readValue
    fhandle = open(file)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq'

Fix confirmed, though it still gives this (scary looking) output:

power-manager: ERROR: Communication problem with power-manager, it probably crashed.

These are the steps to install the patch:
1. Save attachement to temporary file (for example: /tmp/guidance.diff)
2. Perform the following
cd /usr/share/python-support/kde-guidance
cp powermanage.py powermanage.py.orig
patch -p0 < /tmp/guidance.diff

Then restart guidance-power-manager

Thanks for the instructions. Works fine now. Although of course I have no cpu frequency readings. I'll let you know about how the auto suspend works.
