[SOLVED] How do I change CPU governor to perfomance?

Hi there! I can change CPU governor with cpupower-gui. But how do I change it permanently?

And the output of the commands you are told to look at? And did you actually read the sentence? Did you adjust the config file? It won't do anything if you don't specify your wanted configuration.

Yep, I've changed governor in config file.

Did you enable the service in systemd? Did you set the governor...powersave, performance, whatever?

When I'm tryinn to enable cpupower.service, I get error:

● cpupower.service - Apply cpupower configuration
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cpupower.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2020-06-18 11:19:27 MSK; 26min ago

And yes, I've set perfomance governor.

Post the config file. Did you try running the command normally on your terminal and it does work?

systemctl cat some.service

will show you an Exec= line. There's the command you want to test manually.

Re: [SOLVED] How do I change CPU governor to perfomance?

Just wondering if commenting out both min_freq and max_freq lines in /etc/default/cpupower and letting the system handle min/max (which is generally the best idea) will make the service start OK?
For instance, you haven't posted your CPU model, so we don't know what your min/max values are and if you are entering an incorrect value, or there could be a bug.

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors

will show you which governors you can use on your system, which depend on which kernel modules are in use and doesn't always match the larger possible list of governors that are shown in /etc/default/cpupower

I'm also thinking that explicit mention of the frequencies is the issue, not many drivers will allow manual control here.

Re: [SOLVED] How do I change CPU governor to perfomance?

There seems to be a typo in your config file. You wrote:

governor='perfomance'

So you are missing an 'r' in performance. Maybe that's the cause of your problems?

You need a program called CoreCtrl. That will change your governor at boot time. Though, instead of performance I would suggest ondemand.

So, why do you suggest to use ondemand?
