In installed where do I find it?
[Reply]
PPA is installed
Software Center shows it as installed
—no menu item that I can find

You have to add it to panel…
Right click the panel and select “Add to Panel”, select it from the list and press “Add”…
Move it around using right-click and “Move”.

After following the instructions, the terminal said:
E: Couldn’t find package indicator-cpufreq
but it seems to work anyway after adding it to the panel.

Ubuntu Geek – You are a genius – I love you!
My ppp-daemon kept dying after a few seconds of dialup apparently because of varying CPU frequency but now thanks to Carlos Garcia Campos I can set the speed (any speed except “On demand”) and my dialup works like a charm.
You have made my day!

I can’t find it anywhere in the add to panel lists. This is one of the most annoying things with Ubuntu installing something then never finding it on any menu.
[Reply]
PS sorry I found it but often I can’t find new programs anywhere and can’t browse to it like programs files on XP as Linux puts programs in several different folders

Is there a tool like this for memory usage? Very nice.

You can add 2 (or more, 1 per CPU) using ‘add to panel’ as above, and then select each individual CPU in the ‘preferences’

Well, under 12.10 it at least works running indicator-cpufreq in the terminal, after that it is in the autorun-group and should work every time you boot…
