I’m using the ‘active cooling’ fansink. The temp hovers around 50 degrees and the fan cycles on-off every minute or so.
I had a look at the rc scripts and found that init.d/cpufrequtils was set to ondemand, 0, 0 but according to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors, the governors available are performance and schedutil.
I changed it to schedutil, 50000, 208000 but it didn’t make any difference because it seems something else is setting it to performance on boot.
I did echo “schedutil” | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
and cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy?/scaling_governor
gave me
schedutil
performance
but it didn’t stick.
just discovered that cpufrequtils won’t start because it says the governor is not available no matter what I set it to - I guess it just defaults to performance?
I feel this has gone a long way of topic now - should we start a new thread?
