Linux Mint 5 Elyssa KDE CE RC1 (BETA 045) is out!

I'm having trouble with the KDE power manager(kde-guidance-powermanager). It shows two procs, but they are both at 0%. I booted the Kubuntu 8.04 CD to check, and it shows them fine. I noticed a difference in package versions. Mint is using kde-guidance-powermanager 0.8.0svn20080103-Obuntu16.1 and Kubuntu is using 0.8.0svn20080103-Obuntu16. Not sure what the channel log is for 16.1, so don't know what the differences are. Also the Mint version does not have support for changing proc speed(performance,powersave,dynamic), and Kubuntu version does. I am using HP dv6815.

UPDATE: It wasn't the powermanager package. I have dual AMD procs. I had to uninstall powersaved and install powernowd for them to be utilized. Powersaved covers most everything except AMD. Maybe we should install powernowd instead of powersaved by default.

Another Update for that, I am running intel core duo and i also switched out powersaved for powernowd and my cpu's were then displayed. just in case anyone had the same problem as me

I downloaded, checked the md5sum and burned the DVD. Booted fine. It found my wireless network, but would not connect, even after I entered my WPA passphrase. I noticed that when I went back to KDE network manager, it had replaced my pasaphrase with a long hex string. I don't know if that is the problem or not. What am I missing? If I could get that to work, I would install it and give it a whirl.

I seriously doubt anyone can download something that's no longer available on the internet
