Hi, openSUSE Tumbleweed is installed and upgraded to version 20241208 . Using KDE with x11 on the machine. Code: zypper se -si cpupower Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository ---+--------------------------+---------+--------------------------+--------+------------------------------------------ i+ | cpupower | package | 6.11.8-9.11 | x86_64 | repo-oss i+ | cpupower-bash-completion | package | 6.11.8-9.11 | noarch | repo-oss i+ | cpupower-gui | package | 1.0.0+git.24.b44a198-2.7 | noarch | download.opensuse.org-multimedia-proaudio i+ | libcpupower1 | package | 6.11.8-9.11 | x86_64 | repo-oss cpupower-gui opens correctly and displays application in gui. After selecting 'performance mode', then applying settings. Powercycling, logging into DE environment the machine is reverted again to 'powersave mode'. Code: cpupower frequency-info analyzing CPU 2: driver: intel_pstate CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 2 CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 2 maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported. hardware limits: 800 MHz - 3.90 GHz available cpufreq governors: performance powersave current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 3.90 GHz. The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use within this range. current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware current CPU frequency: 800 MHz (asserted by call to kernel) boost state support: Supported: yes Active: yes I have also setup a systemd service for use with cpupower-gui (details available upon request).

Is this following line here (displayed in above journal output) of a particular concern? > cpupower-gui[1901]: User is not authorised. No changes applied. If it is not a concern, can you see anything wrong with the journal output? Are there some other steps you may be aware of in order for the 'performance governor' to be used? -Thanks
