Description Gene Snider 2011-04-26 21:59:39 UTC
Description of problem:
After updating from F14 to F15, the icon indicating cpu frequency for this applet never changes.  In F14, the bar length indicated the cpu frequency, now it's always full length.  Hovering the mouse cursor over the icon shows the actual cpu frequency, however.  So the applet knows what the cpu is doing, it just isn't updating the icon in the AWN panel.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.4.0-27.fc15

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add the cpu frequency to the AWN panel
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
The information bubble shows the actual frequency, but the icon is unchanged.

Expected results:
The length of the bar used to change with the cpu frequency.

yay, see that at some point in fc16-gnome (in last week or so?) 
that the freq monitors are now dancing to indicate cpu freq variations! :')

currently running: 

  avant-window-manager-0.4.1-0.4.bzr830.fc16 (x86_64)
  awn-extras-applets-0.4.2-0.6.bzr1537.fc16 (x86_64)
  kernel-3.1.2-1.fc16 (x86_64)

(havent checked any fc15 installs lately though works in fc16)

hmm orig machine still shows varying cpu freq by text at mouseover and by picture without mouseover but found a similar machine 
(same mfr/model/bios version) 
with same package versions as far as i can see
that the awn cpufreq icon stays maxed 
even though the mouseover shows changing freqs.

click on working machine and 
get cpu scaling dialog with selectable radio buttons

click on non-working machine and get
   'scaling unavailable.  
    frequency scaling is not available 
    for the selected cpu.'

checked with both running: 

  avant-window-manager-0.4.1-0.4.bzr830.fc16 (x86_64)
  awn-extras-applets-0.4.2-0.6.bzr1537.fc16 (x86_64)
  kernel-3.1.7-1.fc16 (x86_64)

will try to dig log files a bit more for differences in cpu

Comment 3 collura 2012-02-19 06:16:26 UTC
summary: cpufreq missing dependency?

later found another non-working machine but
the good news is i think it might just be a missing dependency:

  gnome-applets-1:3.2.1-2.fc16.x86_64

which i must have installed on the working machine but not the non-working ones
because when i happened to install it on the non-working machines the formerly frozen cpufreq icons started to dance (next time the machine power cycled)!

is it time to amend the dependency for 
  awn-extras-applets 
to require 
  gnome-applets 
soon before i forget how to fix this for the next time
or did i misread the tealeaves?   :')

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 19:05:35 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
