Description:

The cpufreqd man page says that it is possible to specify thermal zone, which cpufreqd will use for rule weight estimation. The rule condition should look like this:

acpi_temperature=TZ0:0-70

where TZ0 is one of the names listed by

ls /proc/acpu/thermal_zone/

Ok. TZ0 is in this list on my netbook, so i have put beforementioned rule in my config and started

cpufreqd -V 10 (to be verbose)

And cpufreqd has reported:

acpi_temperature: non existent thermal zone TZ0!

OK. With option -V 10 it also reports that my netbook has four thermal zones with names: 'thermal_zoneI' where I is one of 0, 1, 2, 3. So i have decided to use condition:

acpi_temperature=thermal_zone0:0-70

On that cpufreqd -V 10 says that:

plugin_utils: acpi_temperature is unable to parse this value "thermal_zone0:0-70". Discarded

Additional info:
* package version(s)

cpufreqd-2.3.4-2

* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Save attached file as /tmp/cpufreqd.conf
2. Change TZ0 to one of names prined with

ls /proc/acpi/thermal_zone

3. Run cpufreqd -V 10 -D -f /tmp/cpufreqd.conf

P.S. It seems problem is fixed in master branch of official cpufreqd git repository.
