Hi ally, What is packaged with xenialPup64 wrt setting cpu freq? I don't have a copy downloaded to check. Were you able to set with that? When the versions above failed what did you see... were any governors displayed etc?ally wrote:lenovo x230 running xenialpup64, unable to set scaling using either 0.8x or 1.2
Update: I just downloaded and installed Battleshooters XFCE_XenialPup64 r2 and booted into it. The stock version of wcpufreq in /usr/sbin is the same as the unpatched 0.8 version above. I set several governors with it on my i5 laptop and then manually copied in the patched 0.8.1. Able to install and change governors with that as well. The patch for the 4.13 and newer kernels is invoked as the kernel is 4.13.0 on this install and my core speeds are correctly displayed. Crosschecked that with the unpatched PupSysInfo in this install and indeed it displays the cpu speed incorrectly. Could it be a hardware issue? If so we need to pursue it.
Do you see Intel_Pstate as your governor? If so, to use the acpi_cpufreq governors you need to pass intel_pstate=disable as a kernel parameter to disable the intel governor. Otherwise it takes precedence.
