Hello,

  • _OpenMandriva Lx version: ROME

  • _Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…): KDE PLASMA 6

  • _Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):

Trying to run powertop --auto-tune to run and get it’s settings to stick. I’ve gotten 2 different errors.

One is - DevFreq not enabled.

The other is - powertop modprobe cpufreq_stats failedLoaded 0 prior measurements

I kept getting the “Defreq not eneabled” error before rebooting after I ran
“sudo powertop --calibrate”

After I rebooted, I kept getting the second error.

  • Relevant information (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):

I’m on a Dell Latitude 5520 with an intel i5 1135g7.

Welcome! Glad to see you post over here. We already know you from the Matrix channel.

you should use intel-pstate and cpupower , powertop is for older CPU before skylake

i’m not seeing intel-pstate in the repos.

I don’t see it either. It turns out it is named intel_pstate and that is missing as well. I am not sure, but is this not included in the kernel itself?

6

I went and enabled it in the grub.cfg i think it should be working now. How do i calibrate my battery usage time? How can I check to see if intel_pstate is actually being used?

7

can you check

cpupower frequency-info
8

It’s installed and enabled! Thanks!
