Turbo should be enabled when one thread reach 100% of usage, in original version there was a fixed value of 25%, but this only works when there're 4 threads, in CPUs with more threads

Reference: #98

This isn't as much as an error as what it is something that I've been observing. I often do calls on Zoom and MS Teams, both apps seem to be processor hungry. When I have auto-cpufreq enabled, turbo boost is enabled and the laptop throws everything it can at the process. This results in cores overheating to the extent that they were reaching 95oC. I subsequently had to uninstall auto-cpufreq because it couldn't be disabled.

It would be great if auto-cpufreq had some kind of killswitch that allowed me to turn it off under such extreme cases. Even better would be if auto-cpufreq would be able to identify such cases and engage the killswitch automatically when such cases occur.

I just made the pull request that fixed #276 but after updating through the Snap repository, I get this:

Warning: Cannot get distro name

After some searching, it seems that Snap has issues running sudo from os.system. You may want to remove PR #311 and release 1.8.2 until this issue is resolved

Problem:

I'm using auto-cpufreq on a Lenovo ideapad 330s. My laptop is charged, and full, but auto-cpufreq stays on "powersave" governor. I updated my BIOS recently. My battery state:

$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status
Full

Maybe for resolve this situation disable gnome power managment feature deamon is enough.

Gamemode sets the governor to performance when a game is launched which is useful as some games are unplayable (low fps) in powersave governor (though this feature is only relevant on battery since AC is set to performance anyways).

On battery auto-cpufreq seems to constantly set the governor to powersave (around every 4-5 seconds) even after launching a game with gamemode. This results in games unable to be run in performance governor while on battery with auto-cpufreq unless I configure it to use performance while on battery which defeats its purpose.

It's not really a big deal since I mostly play games while connected to AC but it is very noticeable when I disconnect the AC to battery mode whilst in the middle of a game.

I noticed my fan was running a lot. So I uninstalled auto-cpufreq and tried power-profiles-daemon instead. That app comes with the command powerprofilesctl, which prints:

  performance:
    Driver:     intel_pstate
    Degraded:   yes (high-operating-temperature)

If the performance option is degraded, I would think it preferable to not run it. Now that it's not running via auto-cpufreq, my fan doesn't run so much.

• Host: Latitude 7480
• Kernel: 5.15.12-arch1-1
• CPU: Intel i5-6300U (4) @ 2.4GHz

Setting the minimum/maximum allowed CPU frequencies is now possible via 'scaling_min_freq' and 'scaling_max_freq' options in config for both modes (charger and battery). Values should be given in kHZ.

Example: scaling_min_freq = 1800000 scaling_max_freq = 2000000

I also did autoformatting via 'black', using --line-length 100. Code is now a bit tidier than before.

The tools are working fine. Just have one request it should have a cli way of interaction to switch the governor.

e.g currently, my config states that on charging the governor should be performance and when not on AC it should be powersave

This ramps up my fan while charging. sometimes I want it to be on powersave even when it is charging to keep my fan silent. and for that I have to change the config and reload auto-cpufreq

I want the feature to be something like

auto-cpufreq --force governer powersave    # This should keep the governer to powersave mode no matter what the state is.
auto-cpufreq --force governer performance # This should keep the governer to performance mode no matter what the state is (AC or on Battery)
auto-cpufreq --force reset # resets to the config state.
auto-cpufreq --state # (should return powersave,performance,reseted) So that the user can create a indicator in it's bar config.

After the latest kernel update, my laptop has become incredibly slow. OS: Arch Linux Kernel Version: 6.0.11-arch1-1

While auto-cpufreq is running, my cpu frequency on all cores seems to go down as far as 409 Hz.

I did stumble upon this reddit post which identified the issue as the new AMD p-state driver. But I didn't see the error reported here, so just passing it along.

As of now, I've had to disable auto-cpufreq to get a usable system.

Auto-cpufreq will not auto start on laptop boot. I have enabled the daemon via systemctl and I have to manually start the daemon every time i boot my laptop which is not optimal.

Have you tried?

• Searching through existing/closed issues to see if your bug has already been already submitted?
• If installation failed with auto-cpufreq-installer,have you tried installing auto-cpufreq using Snap package?
• Have you tried configuring auto-cpufreq?

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package. I am using the aur version of auto-cpufreq (not git version)

Hi Team,

I cannot install auto-cpufreq via snap in Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3. Initially, i tried this approach;

git clone https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq.git
cd auto-cpufreq && sudo ./auto-cpufreq-installer

However, i have the same exp with; https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq/issues/192

So i tried to install via snap as suggested; however, i cannot get it working on my machine. I'm getting these error messages;

$ sudo snap install auto-cpufreq

Auto-cpufreq fails to start Package Manager Is Pacman

Hello,

first of all thanks for this very helpful tool. I just installed kernel 5.17 (including the new amd-pstate driver) on my system and am experiencing weird behaviour when using auto-cpufreq. First of all, the "min" and "max" frequencies seem to adjust dynamically (seen in auto-cpufreq --stats). I tested the following scenarios while running prime95 (full cpu-load simulation). When charging, the freq goes only up to 2.3 GHz on all cores, and in battery mode I barely reach 1 GHz. I also experienced low frequencies (when on battery) with kernel 5.15 and the acpi driver.

I tried installing auto-cpufreq through the AUR package, as well as from source. Am I doing something wrong, or is using the new amd-pstate driver a bad idea in general?

Thank you very much!
