haptein / powerplan Goto Github PK

It worked just fine at first, but then I ran sudo powerplan --daemon then it stopped disabling turbo automatically after unplugging the power. I don't know for certain that that was the cause, but it just started happening after that. I don't know how to pull logs for this, but let me know what I'd need to do to help.

EDIT: I've tried it several times. Uninstalled powerplan and reinstalled it, and it worked as it should every time, but every time I ran sudo powerplan --daemon, this issue occurs.

Continuing off from the discussion started in #1 by @KarkanAlzwayed.

I actually planned for powerplan to get a profile edition (and perhaps some status plotting/monitoring) GUI at some point, but truth be told, at this point in time I'm not really experienced in writing pretty desktop GUI's and there's still other powerplan features I'd like to implement first. I actually had a look at QtDesigner a while ago and it seemed like a good starting point. If anyone has some framework/library recommendations or would like to give it a go that'd be great!

@KarkanAlzwayed By all means feel free to try! I think Open-Source projects like this are a great way to learn new things, and I'd be happy to do some code review and offer help if needed. If you end up deciding to give it a go, I think good places to start are the classes PowerProfile and CPUSpec. The main project structure is outlined simply here.

Description
if i start powerplan on my Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3550, i get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/powerplan", line 10, in

my cpu is old, really old. Only 1 thread per core. I think powerplan expects always 2 threads.

I hope I will make sense, but here it is.
On kde, when I install power-profiles-daemon, kde would detect it and add a section for it in the panel and the settings, where I can switch profiles directly from the panel, and also set default profiles when power is plugged/unplugged. Could something similar possibly be done with powerplan via a package that I can download? A script that I can run? A merge/pull request or something you developers do?
It is a really nice feature, but I just can't use power-profiles-daemon(PFD) over powerplan, because PFD makes my laptop's fans go bananas after the power is plugged in. Powerplan doesn't do that.
See screenshots, please

Hello! - I've just installed powerplan on my Manjaro laptop, using the instructions of the readme:

git clone https://github.com/Haptein/powerplan.git
cd powerplan && sudo ./install

No issues seemed to occur during install. However, when trying to use any feature of powerplan (for example, powerplan --version), I get the following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/powerplan", line 10, in <module>
    import status
  File "/opt/powerplan/src/status.py", line 8, in <module>
    import cpu
  File "/opt/powerplan/src/cpu.py", line 442, in <module>
    CPU = CPUSpec()
  File "/opt/powerplan/src/cpu.py", line 59, in __init__
    self.crit_temp = int(psutil.sensors_temperatures()[self.temp_sensor][0].critical)
TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'NoneType'

I have Python 3.9.7-1 installed, and have python-psutil 5.8.0-1 installed. (After first getting the errors, I tried installing psutil with pip install psutil just to make sure it was installed, not sure if that was necessary. (The package did install correctly though, so it doesn't seem like a psutil issue))

This is my first issue on Github, apologies if there are any formatting errors. :)

Description
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
In the output of sudo powerplan -s, it was showing the policy as balance_power no matter what I did in the powerplan.conf file.
I think it started happening after I ran powerplan --persistent, then it corrected itself after a couple of reboots. Now it is showing the correct thing. I still want to know why it did that at first.
Additional info:
Please include the output of "powerplan --system" and your powerplan.conf file (if relevant to issue)

Description
I installed powerplan from AUR. After I set conda on my system, powerplan install was broken

It did work before I installed conda

Thanks!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are only these policies ['default', 'performance', 'balance_performance', 'balance_power', 'power']

Describe the solution you'd like
A balance policy would be great, because power makes the laptop too slow and things lag a lot, the balance_power is ok, but things still lag a bit, especially Firefox, and balance_performance and performance consume too much battery. If the default one is balance one, and the balance_power and balance_performance adjust themselves automatically (in which case I didn't notice that) then you can just disregard this request.

Describe alternatives you've considered
balance_power

Additional context
This gives an error, which indicates that there is no balance policy.

I would like to test to switch power configs on current workload or something similar.

e.g. mpv Video Player

if it plays a video and use hardware decoding, it does not need much cpu power -> powersave profile
But if it has to play a 8K AV1 Video, no HW support for AV1, it falls back to software decoding -> performance profile

Do you plan to add switching on usage? (i am not sure, if usage is the best value for it - e.g. single core program, that utilise only 1 core with 100%, other 1-2%)
