Hi, does openSUSE Tumbleweed have a GUI for cpupower? I do not see availability in YaST2 so I am curious about how I would see about this.
-Ahoy
-
How can I verify the content integrity of the
cpupower-gui.ymppackage correctly? -
The link you provided does appear to be a reputable website and so on. Is there a good way to implement checking this sort of thing similar to a
sha256sum -b with .iso? -
What is the best way to install this package I downloaded onto the machine?
-Thanks for your fast response.
@panorain Add the repo, and accept the key, install the package and then disable the repo…

This looks to be the correct repository here: https://downloadcontent.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss
Does this look correct to you for what I am looking to do?
Why do you say to disable this repository (if it is the correct one), after adding cpupower? Is this to prevent malicious possibility?
@panorain No, you would use https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/proaudio/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/
zypper ar -f -g -n "download.opesuse.org-multimedia-proaudio" https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/proaudio/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ Multimedia-Proaudio
zypper ref
zypper in cpupower-gui
zypper mr -d -F Multimedia-Proaudio
It’s disabled so you don’t pull anything that may reside there that is in Tumbleweed, you can check for updates at the link and enable and update as required. Or since you have the repo key installed, can just download and install via zypper the updated rpm…
What is the main purpose for person to add the repository I mentioned (dod x86-64)? I was thinking that cpupower-gui would be located in that repo. I did actually add the repository → [https://downloadcontent.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/os] (I can disable it of course).
Is it spelling instead without quotes:
zypper ar -f -g -n "download.opensuse.org-multimedia-proaudio" https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/proaudio/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/Multimedia-Proaudio
To me it seem odd that repo name containing ‘multimedia-proaudio’ contains cpupower-gui . Why is this, in this instance example?
Thanks
@panorain that is not a valid repository url…
Likely because the Maintainer is the Project Maintainer as well…
Needs a missing space…
zypper ar -f -g -n "download.opensuse.org-multimedia-proaudio" https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/proaudio/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ Multimedia-Proaudio
The last entry is the Alias.
Ok thanks, very good example of alias from you in this instance. I could see this when I attempt to open link in new browser tab: https://downloadcontent.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/
403 Forbidden
Is this a very good indication that the repository is not valid and not working? If the repo was valid what could I have expected to happen, send to a specific url or something in browser? It seems there are quite a few invalids around perhaps.
@panorain have no idea where you got that link from…
I got link from here: Repositories for openSUSE:Tumbleweed - openSUSE Build Service
@panorain why there, the Tumbleweed repositories needed are already on your system?
I think that I was told to remove the obs (or something because of double package display in YaST2). Please take a look at the current repository selection on this machine when you have a moment. I have attached a screenshot to this message.
Now this is the latest repository and zypper search -i | grep 'cpu' output using zypper in Konsole.

What is the best method, most readable way to post the above output from Konsole?
@panorain That looks fine, I would only show enabled repositories with the E as in enabled option, so zypper lr -dE
Very well, my question now, turbostat show 4 cores being used. Not inxi or cpupower-gui, see below:

cpupower-gui says only 2 total cpu: I have attached 2 screenshots of cpupower-gui display/settings. Why only cpupower-gui sees 0 cpu and 1 cpu not 2 cpu and 3 cpu also?
I just toggled cpupower-gui interface All CPUs enabled by default to ON . Perhaps I need lougout or powercycle machine?
Thanks
@panorain are they offline? cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online

@panorain maybe needs a reboot…
Hi, after powercycle logging into KDE seemed to halt. I waited, then ctrl+alt+backspace then system became active. System seemed to halt again after attempting to execute cpupower-gui from menu. cpupower-gui opened and displayed menu. Same display on cpupower-gui menu as before, only 2 cpu’s listed. Outpu from inxi is:

This system came as core2 duo. I installed the Quad (because in manual it show some available with Quad core cpu. Mainboard seems to think it has only 2 cpu now with cpupower-gui installed.
