os 12.3 with kernel 3.7.10-1.4 some governors mode has disapeard :-(

#1

Hello

After some upgrades on os 12.3 I noticed that with current kernel 3.7.10-1.4-desktop (or what ever) some governors has disapeard.
The only 2 governors I have now are
ondemand and performance
Until now I had 3 more conservative, userspace and powersave
and I used powersave because heavy fan usage if not in powersave mode…

Docu in
linux-3.7.10-1.4/Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt
still reference all states.
cfu util shows the same as cpufreq-info

I have nothing found the new kernel docu but seen that current kernel of os 12.3 is already EOL :frowning:

So what is the problem?
Nobody having problems with this?

Hi
Set it and it will appear :wink:


cpupower frequency-info

available cpufreq governors: ondemand, performance

cpupower frequency-set -g powersave

cpupower frequency-info

available cpufreq governors: powersave, ondemand, performance
#3

Thanks a lot! This did the job!
This is new since this kernel because in the past all governors were set :frowning:
Now I have to find a startup file to put in so it will stay over reboots…
Thanks again!!

Hi
You can create a systemd service for it?


# /usr/lib/systemd/system/cpupower_profile.service
#
# Set cpu power profile
#

[Unit]
Description=Set cpupower Power Profile

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/cpupower frequency-set -g powersave"

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save it as /usr/lib/systemd/system/cpupower_profile.service and enable
it;


systemctl start cpupower_profile
systemctl status cpupower_profile
systemctl enable cpupower_profile
