Gamemode refuses to work without CPU governor #411

Open popcornkerne1 opened 1 year ago

popcornkerne1 commented 1 year ago

While compiling gamemode I got the warning about the CPU governor, I agreed and kept on installing, except that when I launch a game with gamemode now, it refuses to launch, and I can't enable AMD Cool n' Quiet in my BIOS because MSI removed it for some reason and it's supposed replacement isn't there, cpufreq doesn't work either

OS: Fedora 37 Kernel: 6.25 Mobo: MSI B450 Mortar Max

In my case the cpufreq dosnt't work with gamemoded. It dosn't change the Governor for my system OS: Ubuntu- Mate 22.04LTS Kernel Linux 6.2.0-1017-lowlatency x86_64 Gamemode version 1.8

Output from Test ~/gamemode$ gamemoded -t : Loading config Loading config file [/usr/share/gamemode/gamemode.ini] : Running tests

I wonder why the Installer (ninja) dosn't ask me for the Root- Passwort on installing. Eventually thats the Point? gamemode-1.7 ask for the Root-Passwort at install.

Exact same for me with Linux Mint 21.2 and Kernel 6.2.0-37-generic
