CPUpower is not working on my amd a10 dell laptop. It’s an older laptop from 2016. I was using it with Manjaro and CPUpower was working. Now, my wife will be using it. She need something more stable.
How do I set the governor to performance?
> sudo cpupower -c all frequency-set -g performance
[sudo] password for root:
Setting cpu: 0
Error setting new values. Common errors:
- Do you have proper administration rights? (super-user?)
- Is the governor you requested available and modprobed?
- Trying to set an invalid policy?
- Trying to set a specific frequency, but userspace governor is not available,
for example because of hardware which cannot be set to a specific frequency
or because the userspace governor isn't loaded?
and
> cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor: No such file or directory
