Bug Description
Binary package hint: powernowd
What's the purpose of the powernowd daemon? My system is not using it, and it is needed only when we use the `userpsace' governor. But ubuntu doesn't seem to ever use the userspace governor, it seems that only /etc/init.
To post a comment you must log in.
For what I understand, powernowd is used if you need to implement a flexible policy system (for instance using the performance governor unless when running on batteries, when one could switch to the ondemand governor).
If such a flexible system is not needed, indeed powernowd is not needed and one could stick to a fixed governor.
Why would this be a bug!?
