** Description changed: [Impact] - cpupower-gui has a mechanism to set the CPU governor at boot. Unfortunately, users are reporting a crash of the application at boot. The systemd service merely needed a -a flag to correctly execute. + cpupower-gui has a mechanism to set the CPU governor at boot. Unfortunately, users are reporting a crash of the application at boot. The systemd services merely needed a -a flag to correctly execute, and the polkit configurations also needed some work. [Test Case] - Install cpupower-gui. - Set the CPU governor to the desired governor, and set it to activate at boot. - Reboot Expected result: CPU governor is set to desired governor. Actual result: CPU governor is set to the system default. Result can be verified via `systemctl status cpupower-gui` as noted in the original description. [What could go wrong] - The `-a` flag could simply no-op or cause the systemd service to fail completely as the actual result shows, but this is unlikely as this comes from upstream and is tested. - + The `-a` flag could simply no-op or cause the systemd service to fail completely as the actual result shows. Also, the polkit rules change could be ineffective, but this is unlikely as this comes from upstream and is tested.
