Sounds like GUI bug, doesn’t it? Maybe starting control centre from terminal will provide more clues?

- jmclnx 4y agoYes, GUI has a bug, news at 11. I do not know what 'powerprofilesctl' is (I am on Slackware), but if I want to change scaling I just echo to file: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor That is the thing, having a fancy GUI when a menu that executes a script to do the same thing seems a bit over kill for me. People should really look at xmessage(1), poping up an xmessage with a selection for this setting makes for a very simple script. I have many such scripts that use xmessage(1).
- vladvasiliu 4y agoIt's supposed to do the echoing automatically. Also, if I'm not confusing it with something else, it pretends it's able to "adapt" this to different things. Like, if you start compiling for dear life, it'll crank it up to performance. I, personally, don't bother with these, I haven't seen much difference between those profiles on my laptops, neither on Windows or Linux (PM works fine on Linux for me, I get comparable battery life to Windows).
- k8sToGo 4y agoHave you read the article? He does both. Even links to the bug tracker and that it got already fixed.
- AzzieElbab 4y agoRight. Was too early in the morning
- WmWsjA6B29B4nfk 4y agoSo what's the point of the article then?
- Maxburn 4y agoThe fix hasn't made it down to stable yet, where most people live. More of a weird FYI.
- teh_klev 4y agoSee Jeff's explanation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33638959 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33638959 Loads of folks use their blogs as places to write up stuff like this (I used to as well). It may not seem useful to you but others might discover the post via google and it helps them out if they're in the same situation.
