Not sure how to define configuration settings. I’m a Linux novice. Do I just copy and paste the whole configuration contents you posted and run it in terminal for it to give me the choices to pick from?
It’s a text file.
The file should live at /etc/auto-cpufreq.conf
All you have to do is open it and change the value with a regular text editor. When the program is running it reads the values out of the file when it needs them. You may need to log out and log back in(or reboot) for the program to read an updated version of the file.
I just saw your screenshot in the other thread, it looks like you are mostly there. When you plug in and unplug your laptop as the YouTube video does, do you see the profiles change the same way? In other words, can you duplicate what is happening in the video?
You will probably want your configuration file to look like this: (and you can always change it in the future back to performance settings if needed)
# settings for when connected to a power source
[charger]
# see available governors by running: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
# preferred governor.
governor = powersave
# turbo boost setting. possible values: always, auto, never
turbo = never
# settings for when using battery power
[battery]
# see available governors by running: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
# preferred governor
governor = powersave
