@coxe87b you don't need to --install daemon manually, this package contains systemd service already. instead, you need to start and enable service using: systemctl enable --now auto-cpufreq.service

We switch to a python virtual environment on auto-cpufreq on the next release, so the systemd service file is made for the python virtual environment. Just a heads up for next release that will come.

I'm not a Arch user myself, and there are maybe better ways of doings this, but this seems to fix the issue.

Hope the maintainer find this patch helpfull.

@willemw removed conflicts/provides. thank you!

willemw commented on 2021-11-01 13:27 (UTC)

OK.

Provides and conflicts are still redundant. From the Wiki: "Do not add pkgname to the provides array, as it is done automatically." and "Note that conflicts are checked against pkgname ..."

liljaylj commented on 2021-11-01 12:16 (UTC)

@willem removed gcc from dependencies, thanks. as for --remove if you look to source code then you'll see that it is not suitable for this package layout

willemw commented on 2021-10-18 08:58 (UTC)

Please remove 'gcc', 'conflicts' and 'provides'. They are redundant.

To cleanup files from the .install file, maybe run 'auto-cpufreq --remove' instead?

coxe87b commented on 2021-06-03 12:20 (UTC)

@liljaylj Thank you, sorted it

coxe87b commented on 2021-06-03 12:19 (UTC)

Nevermind, I missed the instruction on your github page the first time as below;

Please note: If you want to install auto-cpufreq daemon, do not run auto-cpufreq --install otherwise you'll run into an issue: #91, #96.

Instead run systemctl start auto-cpufreq to start the service. Run systemctl status auto-cpufreq to see the status of service, and systemctl enable auto-cpufreq for service to persist running accross reboots.
