Fix for CPU Scaling panel applet

If your GNOME CPU Frequency Scaling panel applet does not give you scaling options when you left click, there’s a simple fix for this.

The reason this option is blocked out is because your user lacks permissions to access cpufreq-selector. Punch in the following command in your favorite terminal:

sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector

All set, now when you left click you can select your favorite frequency or governor.
