Title:
fails to modify cpu governor
Status in gamemode package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Description: Ubuntu 19.10
Release: 19.10
gamemode:
Installed: 1.5~git20190722.4ecac89-1build3
Candidate: 1.5~git20190722.4ecac89-1build3
Version table:
1.5~git20190722.4ecac89-1build3 500

What is expected to happen :
The main feature of "gamemode" is to set cpu governor to "performance"
on my core i5 2500K when I launch it with a game.
What happened instead :
CPU governor stays on "powersave" mode.
gamemoded logs "Failed to update cpu governor policy".
Workaround :
As Ubuntu gamemode seems to be currently broken, you have to compile and
install from git source :
https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode
(Be careful to completely remove gamemode package 1st)
And you can check it works as intended with this gnome extension
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1852/gamemode/ (or $ watch "cpufreqctl
--governor" on a terminal)
