** Description changed: + [Impact] + cpupower-gui has a mechanism to set the CPU governor at boot. Unfortunately, users are reporting a crash of the application at boot. The systemd service merely needed a -a flag to correctly execute. + + [Test Case] + - Install cpupower-gui. + - Set the CPU governor to the desired governor, and set it to activate at boot. + - Reboot + Expected result: CPU governor is set to desired governor. + Actual result: CPU governor is set to the system default. + + Result can be verified via `systemctl status cpupower-gui` as noted in + the original description. + + [What could go wrong] + The `-a` flag could simply no-op or cause the systemd service to fail completely as the actual result shows, but this is unlikely as this comes from upstream and is tested. + + + [Original Description] I see a failed service at boot: home@daniel-desktop3:~$ systemctl status cpupower-gui -n100 × cpupower-gui.service - Apply cpupower-gui config at boot - Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cpupower-gui.service; enabled; preset: enabled) - Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2026-05-07 07:53:39 EDT; 3min 2s ago - Invocation: 0ab62e1fb5e941b9a7afc872434bd33f - Docs: https://github.com/vagnum08/cpupower-gui - man:cpupower-gui(1) - Process: 1766 ExecStart=/usr/bin/cpupower-gui config (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) - Main PID: 1766 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) - Mem peak: 34.4M - CPU: 236ms + Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cpupower-gui.service; enabled; preset: enabled) + Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2026-05-07 07:53:39 EDT; 3min 2s ago + Invocation: 0ab62e1fb5e941b9a7afc872434bd33f + Docs: https://github.com/vagnum08/cpupower-gui + man:cpupower-gui(1) + Process: 1766 ExecStart=/usr/bin/cpupower-gui config (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) + Main PID: 1766 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) + Mem peak: 34.4M + CPU: 236ms mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 systemd[1]: Starting cpupower-gui.service - Apply cpupower-gui config at boot... mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 cpupower-gui[1766]: gtk_style_context_add_provider_for_screen: assertion 'GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 cpupower-gui[1766]: /usr/share/cpupower-gui/cpupower_gui/window.py:127: Warning: invalid (NULL) pointer instance mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 cpupower-gui[1766]: Handy.init() mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 cpupower-gui[1766]: /usr/share/cpupower-gui/cpupower_gui/window.py:127: Warning: g_signal_connect_data: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 cpupower-gui[1766]: Handy.init() mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 cpupower-gui[1766]: /usr/share/cpupower-gui/cpupower_gui/window.py:127: Warning: g_object_get: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 cpupower-gui[1766]: Handy.init() mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 cpupower-gui[1766]: gtk_style_context_add_provider_for_screen: assertion 'GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 cpupower-gui[1766]: gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen: assertion 'GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 cpupower-gui[1766]: gtk_icon_theme_add_resource_path: assertion 'GTK_IS_ICON_THEME (icon_theme)' failed - mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 cpupower-gui[1766]: cannot open display: + mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 cpupower-gui[1766]: cannot open display: mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 systemd[1]: cpupower-gui.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 systemd[1]: cpupower-gui.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. mai 07 07:53:39 daniel-desktop3 systemd[1]: Failed to start cpupower-gui.service - Apply cpupower-gui config at boot.
