(In reply to William John Holden from comment #0) > Linux recommends users disable 'ondemand', but this is the default > configuration used in laptop-mode-tools and specified in > /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/cpufreq.conf. How an operating system can recommend user to do anything? You mean: "If in doubt, say N."? There are lots of settings in laptop-mode-tools that requires various of settings in kernel, we cannot check these all. Maybe the proper way is to send upstream patch to improve error message: /usr/share/laptop-mode-tools/modules/cpufreq: line 11: echo: write error: Invalid argument -> /usr/share/laptop-mode-tools/modules/cpufreq: cannot set 'xxx' governor. Yes. I posted the same question on the LMT mailing list yesterday. Do you have an AMD CPU machine? Would you know if its might be different? this should be handled upstream. |
