Arch Linux doesn't appear to be increasing CPU activity #129

I've installed stressberry via pacman. Running stressberry-run doesn't increase the CPU utilization at all. I haven't seen it go above 1% and it appears to only have 2 additional processes running even though I specified 4. I've tried running as a standard user first, then root, then adjusting the nice value (although that really doesn't matter).

Here's my tests

stressberry-run -c 4 stressberry_ICETOWER_PWMFAN_$(date +%F)-test2.txt
sudo nice -n -10 stressberry-run -c 4 -n 'RPI4 IceTower Fan 1 hour test' -d 60 "stressberry_ICETOWER_PWMFAN_$(date +%F_%H:%M)-test2.txt"

Am I miss understanding how stressberry works?

Can you check if stress is available? I had similar problem with stress-ng not being symlinked to the stress.

@AlexBaranowski Hi Alex, yes stress is installed.

[steven@rpi4:~ $]$ stress --version
stress 1.0.6

Worked for me by installing both 'stress' (already installed) and also 'stress-ng'
