@mike : This probably isn't the place to look into your issue. Do you have accounts on askubuntu.com or ubuntuforums.org ? Perhaps the issue could be moved there. There have been issues as the intel_pstate driver has evolved to include control via the methods you are using. What is your processor

I'm posting here because pstate is giving me problems as well, but in the opposite direction. Upon bootup and for several hours thereafter, scaling works correctly. But after a period of time something happens (which is of course not mentioned in any log) and scaling_max_freq is set to

That's exactly what I do and it doesn't work. Along with I think it was the cpuX/scaling_max_freq and scaling_governor to powersave. In each case it does not actually have any effect. When I disable intel_pstate, then the cpuX/ settings work fine. -- You received this bug notification because

One problem I have noticed with the pstate driver is that it ignores all of the control knobs. It absolutely refuses to let you limit the range of frequencies it will use. When playing minecraft I find that by default it tends to run full speed and that isn't really needed, so lowering the speed

@Phillip: Tell us more about what you trying to do and how you are doing it. I assert that the "control knobs" work fine, however, I only use primitives to control it and never any higher level tool. For example, I would limit the maximum CPU frequency to 0.75 of maximum with: echo "75" | sudo

Enabling intel-pstate on the 3.13 kernel was deemed problematic for several reasons. However, I have backported all of the changes upto 4.2-rc8 to 3.13 and re-enabled the intel-pstate driver for testing. I have performed a boot smoke test with this kernel and I think it needs some deeper testing

I think we need to know if intel_pstate is more stable in 4.x series, because the new releases. If it keeps unstable may be disable by default is the better choice. 2015-08-27 14:33 GMT-03:00 Colin Ian King 1188...@bugs.launchpad.net: Enabling intel-pstate on the 3.13 kernel was deemed

Kernel 3.15 contains some intel_pstate changes that should address the issues I raised in post 16 above. For Ubuntu one concern is: For the 250 Hz kernel the default sample rate will result in an actual different sample rate, and thus the response curve is a little different than for the 1000 Hz

For the decision to re-enable the intel pstate driver by default or not, the suggestion is to be cautious. The driver keeps changing in rather fundamental ways, such that one can never be sure how it is going to perform. I will attach two graphs to (hopefully) help make my point. The first graph

I have not tried this in recent Ubuntu yet, but I can tell you that pstate seems to work very well in Debian's 3.10 kernel on my Ivy Bridge laptop. The problem thus might not be caused by intel_pstate itself but by a combination with some other option(s) and/or patch. It seems to increase the
