Package: thermald
Version: 2.4.2-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
On my system (Asus N56VB with a i7-3630QM), the intel_pstate status is
"passive" by default.
This prevents thermald from being able to control the CPU frequency. Manually
switching it to "active" makes it work.
I address the problem locally, with a /etc/tmpfiles.d/pstate.conf file with the
following content:
w /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/status - - - - active
Then thermald works perfectly.
I suppose the Debian package of thermald should provide a similar file.
Cheers,
-Paul
