... temperature, have you tried cpupower-openrc?
... gvfs might be available from repo next build
... Plymouth is not supported by openrc
Issues:
1) High CPU Temperature for PC
A. installed "thermald", CPU temps returned to normal;
penalty =>
huge performance hit.
uninstalled B. yaourt -S cpupower-openrc
Packages (2): cpupower-3.14-3 cpupower-openrc-20140614-1
$ rc-update add cpupower default
* service cpupower added to runlevel default
$ cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: acpi-cpufreq
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: 10.0 us.
hardware limits: 1.20 GHz - 2.60 GHz
available frequency steps: 2.60 GHz, 2.00 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.20 GHz
available cpufreq governors: ondemand, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 1.20 GHz and 2.60 GHz.
The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 2.60 GHz.
boost state support:
Supported: no
Active: no
Status: Configure and Testing
2) replacement for gvfs-mtp .. works as root
3) installed plymouth-git, bypasses plymouth splash screen;
also need to configure lxdm and xfce4 to have boot and reboot GUI features
currently hammering the command-line to reboot
