What? ===== This is a fork of trayfreq. It provides two icons in your system tray; one for your battery and one for your CPU. Hover the mouse over each for information, or right click the CPU to switch governors and frequencies. Simple. Installation ------------ For ArchLinux: [Paramano on AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/paramano/). For other distros, you'll likely want to install Paramano using your package manager, creating a package if one doesn't exist in your distro's repositories. In most cases a simple workflow like "make && make install" is all that is needed. Dependencies ------------ * gtk3 * sudo Building ======== Due to KISS, I don't tend to use `./configure` scripts for relatively small programs. The sort of parameters you might pass to a `./configure` can instead be passed to make. Here's a list: * BINDIR to override default binary directory (`/usr/bin`) for paramano and paramano-set * PREFIX to prefix all paths with something * SHAREDIR to override default of `/usr/share/` * LOCALEDIR to override default of `SHAREDIR/locale` * SUDO to override default sudo program `BINDIR/sudo` * MAKE to override default make program `make` * CC to override default compiler `gcc` * PARAMANO_SET to override default paramano-set program of `BINDIR/paramano-set` * DESTDIR (only for `make install`) FAQ === Changing the governor/frequency doesn't work! --------------------------------------------- You need root permissions to change the governor or frequency. Paramano will detect if it's not being run as root, and attempt to use sudo to elevate any calls to `paramano-set` to root. However, this requires passwordless sudo access to `paramano-set`. Here is an example for the user `alice`: # ... (/etc/sudoers) alice ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/paramano-set # ... You might like to make a group if you have numerous users who you wish to grant this permission.
