Add linux-tools-liquirox-amd64 to make cpupower work. #31

Closed Armiixteryx closed 3 years ago

Armiixteryx commented 4 years ago

Trying to use cpupower with liquirox gives the following error:

WARNING: cpupower not found for kernel 5.6.0-14.1

  You may need to install the following packages for this specific kernel:
    linux-tools-5.6.0-14.1-liquorix-amd64
    linux-cloud-tools-5.6.0-14.1-liquorix-amd64

  You may also want to install one of the following packages to keep up to date:
    linux-tools-liquorix-amd64
    linux-cloud-tools-liquorix-amd64

None of those suggested packages are already available.

I'm using Kubuntu 20.04 LTS with 5.6.0-14.1-liquorix-amd64.

This is do-able but complicated. The linux-liquorix packages are basically a fork that's routinely synchronized with *linux-siduction** (at siduction.org). I asked the maintainer there if he plans to add support for linux tools, and he said no.

I'll see if I can do this myself. It seems like I can add instructions to compile the tools in the headers and then add a provides for the packages that Ubuntu needs. I can also look at Ubuntu's kernel package and see how they do it, maybe their methodology is far simpler than what I'm reading in the debian kernel package.

As linux newbie, i'm also interested in how to implement cpupower for liquorix. Is there a way to achieve it myself? Has anyone instructions? Thanks!

Tools were added to the kernel headers as part of https://github.com/damentz/liquorix-package/issues/5. The post install script adds the tools to your PATH so you can access them. No extra packages are required.
