About custom states and using restore #41

Closed GreatBigWhiteWorld closed 2 years ago

GreatBigWhiteWorld commented 2 years ago

I installed the script as instructed: sudo ln -s $(pwd)/amdgpu-clocks /usr/local/bin/amdgpu-clocks

I however did not put a custom state file under /etc/default, but put one under the directory where I run the script. The reason is that I'd like to make several different custom state files (like profiles). I test run the script with the following command: sudo USER_STATES_PATH=custom-states amdgpu-clocks It can run fine with a custom state file under the path where I run the command. However when I use the restore command I get this:

sudo amdgpu-clocks restore
ls: cannot access '/etc/default/amdgpu-custom-state*.card*': No such file or directory

Now I am confused and have tons of following questions....

I test run the script with the following command: sudo USER_STATES_PATH=custom-states amdgpu-clocks

And what is the name of that directory and a state file?

I test run the script with the following command: sudo USER_STATES_PATH=custom-states amdgpu-clocks

And the actual output you get is?

However when I use the restore command I get this: sudo amdgpu-clocks restore ls: cannot access '/etc/default/amdgpu-custom-state*.card*': No such file or directory

TL;DR: Properly set USER_STATES_PATH when using restore as well: sudo USER_STATES_PATH=custom-states amdgpu-clocks restore

The script default USER_STATES_PATH is /etc/default/amdgpu-custom-state. You are using custom USER_STATES_PATH in the first command, and you obviously don't have any script-default /etc/default/amdgpu-custom-state*.card* files in your system. Since script relies on custom state filename ending (i.e. .cardX) to determine the card drm index (multiple card support feature), USER_STATES_PATH has to point to a file that actually ends with .card* (or a directory containing multiple such files).

Hello, sorry I had to reinstall the whole system the last time I tried to OC GPU, prolly not directly the fault of this script. It crashed the OS and caused some other issues that can't be fixed without reinstallation. I also upgraded the hardware of the machine a bit. Since then I haven't tried OC again. That said, I think you might put in more details about the restore part. Thanks.
