Tuned is replacing PPD, it does the exact same job it did in the exact same way

So the default power profile is set by PPD ?

LelouBil

LelouBilOP•2/29/24, 5:32 PM

But tuneD is replacing it and so uses PPD's default profile ?

tuneD implements the PPD dbus

LelouBil

L

LelouBilOP•2/29/24, 5:32 PM

okay

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•2/29/24, 5:32 PM

which then allows gnome/kde to talk to it

LelouBil

L

LelouBilOP•2/29/24, 5:32 PM

now I understand

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•2/29/24, 5:32 PM

gnome/kde default to balanced

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•2/29/24, 5:32 PM

and don't offer a way to change it

LelouBil

L

LelouBilOP•2/29/24, 5:32 PM

I'll add a startup script or something to call the tuned-adm then

LelouBil

LLelouBil I'll add a startup script or something to call the tuned-adm then

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•2/29/24, 5:33 PM

instead, call the ppd dbus

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•2/29/24, 5:33 PM

so GNOME/KDE are aware you changed it

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•2/29/24, 5:33 PM

and the widget updates

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•2/29/24, 5:33 PM

is there a reason you need to change the default?

LelouBil

L

LelouBilOP•2/29/24, 5:33 PM

Because of my laptop

LelouBil

L

LelouBilOP•2/29/24, 5:33 PM

I got the framework 16

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•2/29/24, 5:33 PM

ah, default powersave?

LelouBil

L

LelouBilOP•2/29/24, 5:33 PM

but Idk if it's a hardware issue of mine

LelouBil

L

LelouBilOP•2/29/24, 5:33 PM

or just this laptop

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•2/29/24, 5:33 PM

@HikariKnight has a script for that

LelouBil

L

LelouBilOP•2/29/24, 5:33 PM

but it runs wayy too hot without doing anything

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•2/29/24, 5:34 PM

alternatively, you can modify the balanced profile via tuned-gui

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•2/29/24, 5:34 PM

to be how you like

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•2/29/24, 5:34 PM

your call

LelouBil

L

LelouBilOP•2/29/24, 5:34 PM

I'll look into it
