Fedrora 36: Install bricks system

[LeSnake04]

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Build master with mason build
2. install with ninja -C build install
3. next boot you get a bunch of errors and the system cant boot

Expected behaviour the system to not crash

Setup (please complete the following information):

• Distro: [e.g. Arch, Debian, etc] fedora 36
• Package version: [e.g. 0.7.0] master
• Installed via: [package or source] source

Additional context uninstalling in rescue boot with ninja -C build uninstall fixes it

There is package for Fedora 36 here: https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=multimedia%3Aproaudio&package=cpupower-gui

I didn't have time to test it yet.

[LeSnake04]

it failed to install: file /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d from install of cpupower-gui-1.0.0-2.1.noarch conflicts with file from package polkit-0.120-5.fc36.x86_64

maybe thats what broke the system on ninja install as well.

[vagnum08]

This failure was due to the new packaging. I checked the source .spec file that generates that package. I am currently reuploading the old package source to the old repo.

Hi @vagnum08, Yes, I also still have problems with installing the RPM package at Fedora. Same message as @LeSnake04 gets installing from named repo.

Thanks for all efforts!

Please test and report if this test package works, I can't currently find the time to try in a virtualbox guest: https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Aedogawa&package=cpupower-gui

Yeah I've managed to install a Fedora 37 guest and see that here too. The systemd macros used for openSUSE don't fit Fedora it seems. I'm on it but it will take me a while.

[edogawa23]

I think you can try the current package again, release 6.1 was good to install. The systemd services get installed and started, but the program crashes at launch with a python backtrace I couldn't make sense of in the short time available to me this morning.

[vagnum08]

edogawa23 Could you post the back-trace here, I can have a look on what is going on. It might be related to #103

[edogawa23]

here it is:

[vagnum08]

It is a bug. It tries to read energy preferences (intel p-power features) but the settings dict is empty. I should have used get instead of indexing it directly.

I will fix this up.
