There is another issue: /etc/init.d/ondemand tries to set the governor to ondemand unconditionally, even on intel systems with p-state.
Systems with the p-state frequency scaling do not have an ondemand governor at all. This means that the /etc/init.d/ondemand falls back to the powersave governor, hindering performance. Alltogether, the /etc/init.d/ondemand looks hackish. Its operation relies on assumptions on the system setup that are just plain wrong: 1) That one does not install the cpufreq utils since, as mentioned in the original bug report, it destroys the work of /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils 2) That one is on the acpi cpu frequency driver since it is hardwired with the governors provided by such driver. I strongly recommend getting rid of /etc/init.d/ondemand -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/911206 Title: /etc/init.d/ondemand unconditionally overrules /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cpufrequtils/+bug/911206/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
