| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: Can you take a look at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1246298/problem-with-setting-performance-mode? Not sure what's going on here. | 04:29 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: "Ask Ubuntu" doesn't seem to accept my Ubuntu access creds | 15:48 |
| OvenWerks | it sends me to yet another Sign up page. | 15:48 |
| OvenWerks | Anyway, someone else has asked the right question. I would add the output of uname -a would be nice. | 15:49 |
| OvenWerks | It is possible installing cpufrequtils loads another module... we don't install that | 15:50 |
| OvenWerks | that other module may block what we have set up from working. they may be using a generic kernel which may not come with performance built in | 15:52 |
| OvenWerks | the governor list used to be different for generic and lowlatency | 15:53 |
| OvenWerks | "I've installed Ubuntu Studio 20.04" I would like to know if that means: A) upgraded to, B) installed Studio on top of | 15:57 |
| OvenWerks | because ubuntustudio ISO install on an i5 should have no difficulty | 15:58 |
| Eickmeyer | Ask Ubuntu should be able to use your launchpad creds. | 15:58 |
| Eickmeyer | It does for me. | 15:58 |
| Eickmeyer | Anyhow, they said in the comments that they're using Kubuntu + installer. I had to correct them that they misled the entire conversation. | 15:58 |
| OvenWerks | (even a "mobile i5" 2 cores/4 threads) | 15:59 |
| Eickmeyer | Looks like someone else is trying to figure it out with them. | 15:59 |
| OvenWerks | That was my guess | 15:59 |
| Eickmeyer | Oh, the Kubuntu + Installer was a separate issue. | 16:00 |
| OvenWerks | cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors might help | 16:00 |
| OvenWerks | on an reasonably modern intel cpu ondemand should not even be an option | 16:01 |
| Eickmeyer | I agree. | 16:01 |
| OvenWerks | (ondemand uses more power than perforance in most cases) | 16:01 |
| Eickmeyer | The one nasty thing I keep seeing is that someone thinks they have to follow some outdated guide after installing Studio and they tend to mess-up their system causing problems like this. | 16:02 |
| OvenWerks | yes, that was my thought too | 16:02 |
| OvenWerks | In this case (studio on top of) I think install, add studio, update and reboot should be what happens | 16:03 |
| Eickmeyer | I agree. | 16:03 |
| OvenWerks | I think we should maybe change -installer to request a reboot | 16:04 |
| Eickmeyer | Maybe a dialog that says "Reboot Now" or "Reboot Later". | 16:05 |
| Eickmeyer | With buttons for those, of course. | 16:06 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: also see: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1090380/cpufreq-only-ondemand-and-powersave-governors-work-when-laptops-running-on?rq=1 | 16:07 |
| OvenWerks | The bios may be set to not allow performance in certain cases | 16:08 |
| OvenWerks | (or all) | 16:08 |
| Eickmeyer | Very true. I didn't think of that for some reason. | 16:08 |
| OvenWerks | and: https://askubuntu.com/questions/249867/how-do-you-prevent-cpus-from-being-throttled-when-battery-is-taken-out-of-laptop?rq=1 | 16:10 |
| OvenWerks | I had not thought of that one... the ac not being powerful enough on it's own without battery help. | 16:11 |
| Eickmeyer | Yeah, it's kinda weird. You'd think that would destroy the battery pretty quick. | 16:17 |
| OvenWerks | Eickmeyer: Re not being able to get qjackctl to work with pt_BR... the same person will soon be back with the same problem with -controls. | 22:15 |
| OvenWerks | :) | 22:15 |
| Eickmeyer | True, it's a language issue. We simply don't have translations. | 22:15 |
| OvenWerks | I suspect qjackctl does not have pt_BR so mupstream issue anyway. | 22:15 |
| Eickmeyer | Probably. | 22:15 |
| Eickmeyer | @teward: Another one for you, this time it's a GUI toolkit: lp:redkite | 22:18 |
| Eickmeyer | @teward001: Another one for you, this time it's a GUI toolkit: lp:redkite | 22:18 |
| Eickmeyer | It's a prereq for another audio plugin. | 22:19 |
| * OvenWerks notes that his laptop in performance mode at 1.6Ghz drops to 797Mhz when the adaptor is removed. It doesn't chnage the governor but changes the ragnge the governor can work with in. | 22:20 | |
| OvenWerks | "current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 800 MHz. The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use within this range." | 22:21 |
| OvenWerks | plugged in: current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 1.60 GHz. | 22:22 |
| Eickmeyer | That kinda makes sense considering. | 22:22 |
| Eickmeyer | Welp, launchpad builders are offline. RIP my day. | 23:13 |
