Change authentication policy for CPU Frequency switcher

Asked by johnnynyquist

I'm old-fashioned and still running Karmic (9.10) on my desktop machine. I use the Gnome CPU Frequency Switcher applet to control CPU frequency. I would like to be able to change CPU frequency settings without entering my password, although I still want password authentication required for other tasks.

For commandline commands I'd edit /etc/sudoers to change the policy. Is there something similar for desktop applets?

This may help. It will change from ondemand (default setting) to performance persistently. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9050747&postcount=2

That doesn't help at all. I'm interested in changing authentication policy permanently, not CPU frequency.

do you not have an applet in your tool bar that will do this without the password i have used this before and wasnt required to enter my sudo?? sorry if this doesnt help. (second mouse gesture on the taskbar should give a properties or add launcher)

Can you help with this problem?
