[Bug 576022] Re: ondemand script background option problem

[Steve Langasek]

There is nothing wrong with that line of the init script.  Whatever was
preventing the 'ondemand' governor from being chosen is unrelated to the
use of '-- background'.

So there may be (or may have been) a bug preventing the governor being
set, but there's not enough information here to explain why.  The
ondemand init script has been working fine for the vast majority of
users.

Title:
  ondemand script background option problem

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sysvinit

  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

  CPU frequency scaling governor is expected to be automatically set to
  "ondemand"  by  /etc/init.d/ondemand script approx. 60s after system
  boot. Actually, it does not work - it remains set to "performance".

  There is a mistake in /etc/init.d/ondemand  at line 19 where ondemand
  script is being run in background mode:

  ...  /etc/init.d/ondemand -- background

  should be changed to

  ...  /etc/init.d/ondemand background.

  This solves the problem.
