[Bug 1977660] Re: Power settings have no effect and offer nonexisting options

2022-06-09 Thread Sebastien Bacher
I don't understand the details of the behaviour it seems an issue with
power-profiles-daemon. And yes if the profile fails to change the
settings should display the error but it's not clear to me if the
service fails or if the action doesn't reflect as you expect. The
mentioned ticket seems to discuss details on how the profile impacts
performance exactly on some lenovo laptops and also suggests there might
be firmware issues on some of those machines

[Bug 1977660] Re: Power settings have no effect and offer nonexisting options

2022-06-09 Thread Henning Sprang
I have a thinkpad x1 extreme gen2.

I have a bit trouble to exactly understand what I could do with the
information from that URL - will try to read it again later with some
more time.

What I can confirm ist that thermald reports some kind of
incompatibility as far as I understand:

$ sudo journalctl -b -u thermald.service
Jun 08 10:25:34 tp-x1e systemd[1]: Starting Thermal Daemon Service...
Jun 08 10:25:34 tp-x1e thermald[1968]: 22 CPUID levels; family:model:stepping 
0x6:9e:d (6:158:13)
Jun 08 10:25:34 tp-x1e thermald[1968]: 
[/sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/dytc_lapmode] present: Thermald can't run 
o>
Jun 08 10:25:34 tp-x1e thermald[1968]: Unsupported cpu model or platform
Jun 08 10:25:34 tp-x1e systemd[1]: thermald.service: Deactivated successfully.
Jun 08 10:25:34 tp-x1e systemd[1]: Started Thermal Daemon Service.


If it should turn out that settings and indicator are unable to change/display 
the currently used cpu governor, then they probably should not give me the 
impression they could.
Or they should try to do it the same way as studio-controls does, which does it 
succesfully.

Anyway, please let me know if there is anything else I should try to
analyse or fix this thing. I will come back and report if I myself find
anything, too.

Could you give details on the model you are using? There are some
upstream issue on thinkpad as

2022-06-08 Thread Henning Sprang
yes, here it is:


$ powerprofilesctl
  performance:
Driver: platform_profile
Degraded:   no

  balanced:
Driver: platform_profile

* power-saver:
Driver: platform_profile


The other command gives me this - but note that I did an update in between and 
a reboot to another kernel, while the effect reported keeps the same:


$ cpupower frequency-info
WARNING: cpupower not found for kernel 5.15.0-37

  You may need to install the following packages for this specific kernel:
linux-tools-5.15.0-37-generic
linux-cloud-tools-5.15.0-37-generic

  You may also want to install one of the following packages to keep up to date:
linux-tools-generic
linux-cloud-tools-generic


After inbstalling the tools package for the runinng kernel, i get this output, 
but still no change from changing the governor in the settings or the matchjing 
indicator, and both keep telling me the current state is "balanced" which does 
not exist as governor as far as I understand:

$ cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: intel_pstate
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
  maximum transition latency:  Cannot determine or is not supported.
  hardware limits: 800 MHz - 4.80 GHz
  available cpufreq governors: performance powersave
  current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 2.30 GHz.
  The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use
  within this range.
  current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
  current CPU frequency: 2.28 GHz (asserted by call to kernel)
  boost state support:
Supported: yes
Active: yes


And againgf, when I run the "studio-controls" application, this can
change the setting.

Thank you for your bug report. Could you provide the output of
$ powerprofilesctl
and
$ cpupower frequency-info 
after changing the profile
?
