I do get 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/cpupower-gui/cpupower_gui/main.py", line 76, in do_activate
    win = CpupowerGuiWindow(application=self)
  File "/usr/share/cpupower-gui/cpupower_gui/window.py", line 177, in __init__
    self.load_cpu_settings()
  File "/usr/share/cpupower-gui/cpupower_gui/window.py", line 207, in load_cpu_settings
    self.energy_pref_avail = self.settings[0].energy_pref_avail
KeyError: 0

when running the program. Starting from desktop file also does not work.

Energy preferences are only available on Intel based hardware. What kind of system do you have (processor info)?

tallero commented 3 years ago

i7 930

vagnum08 commented 3 years ago

Sorry for the late response, I didn't have an Intel system at hand.

Could you check if you have a file called energy_performance_available_preferences in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/.

The required feature depends on intel_pstate, but it's only available for Sandy Bridge and later generations of Intel processors. It seems that i7 930 is not supported.

It should catch the error and handle it properly. I will try to patch it soon.
