There have been occasional mentions of sudo here, as if it were no big deal. In my original learning, it is a big deal. That is, su, not sudo, is "the Debian way," whatever that is. I've never noticed a discussion of its approval, maybe because the mentions were secondary to the main point. However, a *cautious* sudoers file, that absolutely does not contain programs that represent a security risk if hi-jacked, can be a boon. Not for of the feint of heart--at least I found it a tough learning curve. My suoders file requires no password from me. cpufreq-set is listed in it. That would let a Gnome app set the governor or $ sudo cpufreq-set -g ondemand or, my preference, put above aliases named for each governor, etc. -- Kind Regards, Freeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
