You need to have supported hardware to use power profiles. So if you have the daemon installed and running, your hardware is probably not supported. According to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/hadess/power-profiles-daemon/-/issues/73, AMD hasn't implement platform_profile in the kernel so AMD CPUs are not supported. If you have intel CPU, you might wanna check your kernel parameters if it is disabling power management. Indeed. A good way to check is to run `powerprofilesctl` in a terminal window and check the output. If it doesn't have "performance" listed as one of the available modes, or if everything there says something other than "platform_profile" for "driver:" then your hardware isn't supported. Can you check? The output is this:
balanced:
Driver: placeholder
power-saver:
Driver: placeholder
But i have an AMD CPU, so it is not supported. Thanks for the solution and reply!
Yep, not supported by the hardware yet I'm afraid. AMD power profile stuff is still being worked on at the kernel level, I believe, |
