Package: linux-cpupower Version: 6.9.8-1 Followup-For: Bug #894906 X-Debbugs-Cc: pitsior...@outlook.com
Hello everyone and thank you for your great work. I am a former user of the obsolete cpufrequtils and of the unmaintained (by debian) cpupower-gui. I was using those tools until 2021 to set my governor to powersave the summmer months. Then I discovered linux-cpupower, which I used by running "cpupower frequency-set -g powersave" on every boot. I was also annoyed by the lack of a systemd service and a config file in debian, until I tried the attached files here. I am having the following issue. The service sometimes fails to start on boot. I added the -x parameter and removed the "> /dev/null || ESTATUS=1" from line 20 of /usr/libexec/cpupower so as to get a better error output, but all I get is this $ sudo journalctl -b -u cpupower.service Jul 14 19:50:41 pc systemd[1]: Starting cpupower.service - Apply cpupower configuration...
