someone please

I use the snap version and it works just fine. If you are installing from source, I guess the author of this project himself might need to see this in order to help you.

i found out that the service name isn't running as auto-cpufreq.service

$ systemctl | grep auto-cpufreq
snap.auto-cpufreq.service.service                                                        loaded active     running   Service for snap application auto-cpufreq.service                                                     

so for example to enable the service use this command

$ systemctl enable snap.auto-cpufreq.service.service 

edit: i just realize it's written on the readme

Could you install it using Snap package? As it runs in a container and isolates its Python env from your env. so you shouldn't experience Python related errors.

@utk-dev also confirmed it works fine with him with snap. In meantime I'm closing the issue, please re-open it if the problem persists.
