Changing Frequencies not working #36

Closed swissbuechi closed 4 years ago

swissbuechi commented 5 years ago

Hello

I use an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU on my HP Elitebook 1040 x360 G2 with Kubuntu 18.04 installed.

The widget does not display my current Min/Max settings of the CPU/GPU frequencies and moving the fader does not work.

I found this link in your reddit comments: https://github.com/jsalatas/plasma-pstate/blob/master/99-plasma-pstate

I tried executing it like: ./set_prefs.sh -read-all {"cpu_min_perf":"12","cpu_max_perf":"100","cpu_turbo":"true","gpu_min_freq":"300","gpu_max_freq":"1000","gpu_min_limit":"300","gpu_max_limit":"1000","gpu_boost_freq":"1000","gpu_cur_freq":"300","cpu_governor":"powersave","energy_perf":"balance_performance"} But I dont really know further... Hope you can help me.

Thank you in advance.

I guess that the values are displayed but you just can't change these right? If this is not the case then I'm afraid that I don't know what the "The widget does not display my current Min/Max settings" and you may need to provide me a screenshot.

That's interesting!

A couple of questions:

1) How did you installed it?

2) Did you use the master branch or the 1.0.6 release?

swissbuechi commented 5 years ago

Changing the CPU Govenor and Energy performance works correct.

I installed it with the commands from your post.

git clone https://github.com/jsalatas/plasma-pstate
cd plasma-pstate
sudo ./install.sh
jsalatas commented 5 years ago

Can you try installing the 1.0.6 release instead of cloning the master branch?

swissbuechi commented 5 years ago

I think I used the master branch.

Can you tell me how I can uninstall it? Or can I just "downgrade" it with the commands given for updating?

jsalatas commented 5 years ago

There is an uninstall script. After you uninstalled it just download it from here

https://github.com/jsalatas/plasma-pstate/releases/tag/1.0.6

unzip it an install it again like previously:

cd plasma-pstate sudo ./install.sh

swissbuechi commented 5 years ago

I did all the steps. But now I get this error durring installation:

raphi@DKNB-RBU:~$ sudo ./Downloads/plasma-pstate-1.0.6/install.sh 
[sudo] password for raphi: 
cp: cannot stat '99-plasma-pstate': No such file or directory

Setup complete.
jsalatas commented 5 years ago

cd ./Downloads/plasma-pstate-1.0.6/ and then sudo ./install.sh

swissbuechi commented 5 years ago

Sorry, my bad.

Now it installed with no errors:

raphi@DKNB-RBU:~/Downloads/plasma-pstate-1.0.6$ sudo ./install.sh
kf5.kpackage: Generated  "/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids//kpluginindex.json"  ( 140  plugins)
Successfully installed /home/raphi/Downloads/plasma-pstate-1.0.6/gr.ictpro.jsalatas.plasma.pstate

Setup complete.

Sadly the problem with the frequencies still exists.

jsalatas commented 5 years ago

OK! Thanks for testing it! I need to check and come back to you later.

Could you please provide me the following details about your system?

1) distro you are using.

2) plasma version you are using and if you installed it from the official distro's repos or from any other 3rd party repos (eg ppas).

Thanks!

Thank you very much for your help. I very enjoy your work!

jsalatas commented 5 years ago

I'll try to setup the same environment and let you know.

It might take me some time. Thank you for your patience :)

swissbuechi commented 5 years ago

Thank you. If you need some logfiles or a remote session on my machine, just let me know.

swissbuechi commented 4 years ago

I recently updated to Kubuntu 19.10. Now everything works fine.

jsalatas commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the update! I guess I can close it now :\

G0x209C commented 4 years ago

I can confirm this issue still exists. I have exactly the same problem on Kubuntu 18.04(.3) LTS release. Maybe it'd be nice if you mention in your README.md that it does not work on this version of Kubuntu(/KDE 5.12.9).

cfitz25 commented 4 years ago

I also have this issue, if i restart the kernel it shows errors such as: file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/gr.ictpro.jsalatas.plasma.pstate/contents/ui/main.qml:83: TypeError: Cannot read property 'unit' of undefined file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/gr.ictpro.jsalatas.plasma.pstate/contents/ui/main.qml:74: TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of undefined

My system is: Kubuntu 18.04.4 LTS KDE 5.12.9 Kernel 5.3.0-45-generic
