Hi, openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240418 is installed on this machine. I am noticing these messages now relating to cpupower-gui in a journalctl -b log output.

https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/3fa21ae9b076

cpupower-gui has become unable to launch through application menu as well as Konsole now.

I reported a bug on cpupower-gui github page yesterday.

https://github.com/vagnum08/cpupower-gui/issues/119

Started an ICEWM session (I thought it may be KDE related issue). Attempted start from Konsole by passing: # cpupower-gui -p resulting in a failure and output the same as shown in the log file.

Could this possibly be an issue with the newer kernel version? uname -a

What are your thoughts on this situation?

the app is from a private individual's build, not a regular opensuse supported repro and probably has not been updated to comply with updated packages.

Ok

fwiw, I tried it and it failed to function. but there are several private builds and I am too lazy to try them all. the commandline package is good enough for me.

Very good of you to try that out also. Ok thank you for this information. I am reading this -> https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/archive/42.3/tuning/html/book.sl... I can use '# cpupower frequency-set --governor ondemand' to set the governor settings. How to set this (ondemand) during boot automatically? Some sort of cron job or something like that? Could I create a systemd service for this also perhaps? -Best Regards

I think I discovered the issue.

I haven't read but be aware the doc you quote is for 42.3, not tw.

...

I can use '# cpupower frequency-set --governor ondemand' to set the governor settings.

I have created a systemd.service and service script now in order to have the machine boot with kernel using the ondemand governor and it is working.

I installed it on Tumbleweed using cpupower-gui_1.0.0-1_all.deb and it works fine.

How were you able to install that package? I thought that Tumbleweed uses .rpm packages and not .deb packages?

Patrick, that's very good advice.
