[Touch-packages] [Bug 1579278] Re: Consider changing default CPU frequency scaling governor back to "performance" (Ubuntu Server)

In yakkety I'll add an ondemand.service to systemd, as /etc/init.d/ondemand fell out of the standard installation (as "initscripts" is now -- thankfully -- gone). I'll keep the xenial task in case someone is interested in SRUing this. ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid

So it seems we should make the "ondemand" init script a no-op if /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver contains "intel_pstate", since in this case "ondemand" is worse than "performance"? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages,

It looks like /etc/init.d/ondemand doesn't have any support for the performance governor at all. On systems that only have "performance" and "powersave" the only thing /etc/init.d/ondemand will do is set the governor to powersave. I'll file the appropriate bug against the initscripts package. --

Ah thanks. So maybe /etc/init.d/ondemand should have something to override or disable it (say DISABLE=1 in /etc/default/ondemand)? Looking at it currently, it seems to prefer governors in this order - interactive, ondemand, powersave. Even an option in /etc/default/ondemand to specify the preferr
