Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu 19.10
Release:        19.10

gamemode:
  Installed: 1.5~git20190722.4ecac89-1build3
  Candidate: 1.5~git20190722.4ecac89-1build3
  Version table:
     1.5~git20190722.4ecac89-1build3 500
        500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan/universe amd64 Packages

What is expected to happen :

The main feature of "gamemode" is to set cpu governor to "performance"
on my core i5 2500K when I launch it with a game.

What happened instead :
CPU governor stays on "powersave" mode.
gamemoded logs "Failed to update cpu governor policy".

Workaround :

As Ubuntu gamemode seems to be currently broken, you have to compile and 
install from git source :
https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode
(Be careful to completely remove gamemode package 1st)
And you can check it works as intended with this gnome extension 
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1852/gamemode/ (or $ watch "cpufreqctl 
--governor" on a terminal)
