Autocpu-freq doesn't work for me on Fedora 41 Workstation.

[Tuxman2]

Hello,

I installed the last source code from github on Fedora 41 Workstation.

Installation is ok (from auto-cpufreq-installer) : successfully installed auto-cpufreq-2.4.0+18a3a93

$ sudo auto-cpufreq --install

Considering I merged changes in #762

What output do you get if you run stat /usr/local/bin/cpufreqctl.auto-cpufreq?

If it's all good and you have exec access it should return 755, i.e:

stat /usr/local/bin/cpufreqctl.auto-cpufreq
  File: /usr/local/bin/cpufreqctl.auto-cpufreq

I think changes are not applied yet, can you do the following. Uninstall auto-cpufreq which will also remove the auto-cpufreq daemon, then re-install auto-cpufreq (using installer) and re-install auto-cpufreq daemon. I.e:

git pull
sudo ./auto-cpufreq-installer --remove

Make sure auto-cpufreq daemon is gone, i.e:
sudo auto-cpufreq --stats doesn't return anything and ps -ef | grep auto-cpufreq doesn't return any running processes.

Then re-install auto-cpufreq and its daemon

sudo ./auto-cpufreq-installer --install
sudo auto-cpufreq --install

@AdnanHodzic: Thanks.

I downloaded your last source code and now it works. 👍

There is only one last thing. The powersave governor is not setting to use.

Here are the results I've got in the gtk interface:

----- CPU frequency scaling -------------------------

Setting to use "powersave" governor
Warning : governor overwritten using '--force' flag.
Not setting EPP (not supported by system)
Setting to use "balance_power" EPB

So, I'm not in the powersave setting but in the balance setting, that's right ?
But in the gtk interface, Current governor is powersave and governor Override is set to Powersave.

Is there a way to solve this issue ?

Thanks a lot.

Regards.

Not setting EPP and powersave governor are 2 different things. From little info you provided I see powersave is set, but EEP is not which is fine as your hardware might not have support for it. Refer to project readme for more info.

In meantime closing the issue, since original problem has been solved.
