I don't have any Intel machines new enough to test this, hopefully someone else on the team has one.

What CPU do you have, and are you using libcpufreq or libcpupower as the backend?

I am using amd.
Maybe this is related?

But kernel-dev said that a rebuild of mate-applet against newer kernel-header should fix it.

My CPU is ryzen which works but it was reported by some of our MATE users who use Intel. The applets were built using cpufreq not cpupower. The kernel is 5.4.x or 5.5.x. I am going to build it agaist cpupower and ask for feedback from our Intel users.

@texstar
I have feedback from user at rhbz report that a rebuild of mate-applet fixes the problem :)

[texstar]

Thanks for the information and feedback. I have an Intel box coming this week from a friend so I can also test a rebuild of the mate-applets package and hopefully close this issue.

I use an Intel Xeon System with FunToo (GenToo Linux) - current 5.5.9 Kernel - Git 9999 ** live Ebuilds Mate Desktop only and it's working again - thx to devs !
