Enable all available governors #20

Closed testsieger73 closed 3 years ago

testsieger73 commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A It is possible to choose between 2 governors, schedutil and performance (AMD Zen 2 CPU). However, the governors ondemand, powersave, conservative and userspace are not available.

Describe the solution you'd like A I would like to be able to choose all available governors in the drop down menu.

Describe alternatives you've considered A Activating one of these governors via command line (e.g. cpupower frequency-set -g powersave), makes the governor show up in the drop down menu. To make them all show up, they all have to be activated via command line first.

Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds good. I will work on it in the next few days.

I did some testing. Apparently it doesn't work with every CPU. I think the easiest way to do it and preserve it across reboots is to enable the kernel modules using a config file in /etc/modules-load.d/.

I will add a config file to the project with all the kernel modules. To enable you will have to copy the file over to that location.

So, a cp /usr/share/cpupower-gui/enable-all-governors.conf /etc/modules-load.d/enable-all-governors.conf will be all needed to enable all them at boot automatically.

Was this actually implemented afterall? I have only two scaling governors available, and I can't seem to find that file.

avalonv commented 2 years ago

My mistake, I didn't notice that the file is now called scaling-governors.conf. However, having copied it to /etc/modules-load.d/ and rebooted, those governors still aren't available. Should I open a new issue?
