installing latest cpu power gui removed other governors besides powersave and performance #118

Describe the bug I installed this to change governors for making music in bitwig studio and I can't put the other governor I used to use called schedutil back after I was done making music...

To Reproduce machine without cpupower ever installed go to terminal and cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors you can see other governors besides powersave and performance like schedutil

then install cpu-power gui and then cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors at the terminal and see that there's only powersave and performance governors

Expected behaviour expected this application to keep all the governors I had prior to install

Setup (please complete the following information):

assuming that you have intel cpu. intel p-state by default is set to active, which provides only performance and powersave. you need to set it to passive to be able to use other options like: schedutil , userspace and, conservative.

to do this you will need to write passive to /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/status which will require root access. like this echo "passive" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/status after that restart the gui and you should see schedutil available to use.
