Gamemoderun Does Not Change Power Management Profile

English Games
1

TL;DR:
Launching games with gamemoderun installed from the official release does not change the power management profile from ‘balanced’ to ‘performance’ as expected, despite reporting itself as active. Has anyone experienced this? Is there something I am missing?

More detail. I have:

  • added my user to the gamemode group.
  • run gamemoded -t and passed all tests.
  • checked gamemoded -s while gamemoderun glxgears is running and verified gamemode is reporting as active. Still no power profile change.
  • used htop to verify that gamemode is changing nice value when run.
  • copied the example config file from /usr/share/doc/packages/gamemoded/gamemode.ini to /etc/gamemode.ini and only adjusted the renice value to 10.

Is there an SELinux issue that I might be running into? Any advice on this would be much appreciated.
