After Gnome update cpufreq-applet needs privilages all the time.

Hi
I have upgraded Gnome to the latest 2.28 version with pacman. Problem is that I can't change cpufreq with cpufreq-applet without typing the root password. That's ok, but why I have to do it all the time I wan't to change the cpu policy. It is really annoying. Is there a possibility that gnome will save that password "forever" and won't ask me again for root pasword in the future ?

Not exactly, but ... create /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.gnome.cpufreqselector.pkla file containing

[org.gnome.cpufreqselector]
Identity=unix-user:lgolebio
Action=org.gnome.cpufreqselector
ResultAny=no
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yes

For more information see man pklocalauthority.

Re: After Gnome update cpufreq-applet needs privilages all the time.

since you're using gnome, try configuring policykit through:
System -> Preferences -> Authorisations

It will be under hal - power-management - Configure CPU frequency scaling

It won't work, because cpu frequency applet does not use org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement interface anymore. Instead it uses /org/gnome/cpufreq_selector/selector object implementing org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector which in turn is tied with polkit-1 authorization framework instead of old PolicyKit.
