indicator-cpufreq doesn't start

**Nigggo** · July 17th, 2011

Hi there, i noticed that my cpu is running on full scale all the time and tried to install inducator-cpufreq to get it under control.
The problem is that thr indicator doesn't show up.
I installed is from ppa:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:anton-sudak/indicators
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install indicator-cpufreq

and tried to run it by simply executing indicator-cpufreq.
If i try to run it from terminal it gives me the following errors:

Code:

nigggo@nigggo-desktop:/$ sudo indicator-cpufreq
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/indicator-cpufreq", line 81, in <module>
    ind = MyIndicator()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/indicator_cpufreq/indicator.py", line 99, in __init__
    self.update_ui()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/indicator_cpufreq/indicator.py", line 110, in update_ui
    fmin, fmax, governor = cpufreq.get_policy(FIXME_CPU)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/indicator_cpufreq/cpufreq.py", line 143, in get_policy
    policy = (p.contents.min, p.contents.max, p.contents.governor)
ValueError: NULL pointer access

What am i doing wrong? I am running natty x64 with latest kernel and stuff...
thanks for your help

You might try installing the natty deb and then running

Code:
