Setting CPU frequency for all cores

Asked by pschonmann

Hi,
in cpu activity monitor is possible to change "profile" for every core. But when your pc have too much cores ? Its annoying to click on every one and set desired value. Ill suggest to option to "set all to other cores" Or add applet which represent whole CPU, not single core.

Im not counting it, but when im doing this its annoying to do this more than once.
Im switching to powersave when im going to long trip, and when im at home im switching back. Maybe 3x per month, i dont know.

Copy these 2 files to /home/<you>/bin

http://ubuntuone.com/p/PQF/
http://ubuntuone.com/p/PQG/

Look at them, so you know they are not doing anything strange.

Give them execution permission. (Right click on each, Properties -> Permissions and click to allow execution)

Whenever you want to use ondemand, open a Terminal and type

sudo bin/ondemand.sh

type your password and you are set.

When you want to go back to powersave yo open a terminal and type

sudo bin/powersave.sh

type your password and you are set.
