Slimbook hardware shipping with incomplete config

Vitals

• Slimbook Titan
• Kubuntu
• slimbookamdcontroller version 0.3.7 beta

Problem

Default config in ~/.config/slimbookamdcontroller/slimbookamdcontroller.conf was incomplete on new installation. It read:

[CONFIGURATION]
mode = medium
autostart = on
show-icon = on
cpu-parameters = 10000-10000-10000-15000-15000-25000-60000-65000-70000

which does not match https://github.com/slimbook/slimbookamdcontroller/blob/02f673770b734808aab93921ae5f01712918da0a/src/configuration/slimbookamdcontroller.conf . This causes the application to open requesting user input on settings, yet it does not save them. Output in terminal looks like:

/usr/share/slimbookamdcontroller/src

CPU not added

Solution

Manually replacing the default config with the one on this git appears to have fixed it.

Notes

This is nearly the same problem as https://github.com/slimbook/slimbookrgbkeyboard/issues/5#issue-1197628177 with an incomplete or incorrect config file installation causing problems with the programs. Y'all may want to check that your install folks have the correct files on hand.
