Question from a lazy person

Does anyone know:

1. Does the new Gnome 2.18 Power Manager utility allow you to change which power profile you are using. Under KDE, I could right-click the power icon in the tray and select "Powersave, Performance or Dynamic" to switch my power profile. I know I can do it manually, but I'm lazy!

2. Has anyone had any sucess getting Parallels to run on the Feisty Fawn? It is picky about kernels - (it uses a kernel module that has to be compiled at install time).

Thank you for your time!

You can do it with the "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor" applet.

Just add it to a gnome panel after issuing this command:

sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector

That's it :-)

Perhaps it would be better to make it behave that +s when ran by anyone in the admin group... More secure that way... Bug reporting time! ;)
