Unknown whether it occurs on other architectures or later releases. When run _without package "linux-tools-$(uname -r)" installed_, cpupower will issue a complaint, suggesting to install (among others), some linux-cloud-tools-*-generic packages: $ cpupower WARNING: cpupower not found for kernel 4.4.0-75 You may need to install the following packages for this specific kernel: linux-tools-4.4.0-75-generic linux-cloud-tools-4.4.0-75-generic You may also want to install one of the following packages to keep up to date: linux-tools-generic linux-cloud-tools-generic However, those linux-cloud-tools-*-generic package appear not to exist --at least not in the default repos. Package linux-cloud-tools-common exists, but none of the *-generic packages are available: $ apt-cache policy "linux-cloud-*" $ cat xxx linux-cloud-tools-common: Installed: (none) Candidate: 4.4.0-78.99 Version table: 4.4.0-78.99 500 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports xenial-proposed/main ppc64el Packages 4.4.0-77.98 500 500 http://us.ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports xenial-updates/main ppc64el Packages 4.4.0-75.96 500 500 http://us.ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports xenial-updates/main ppc64el Packages 500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports xenial-security/main ppc64el Packages [...] 4.4.0-21.37 500 500 http://us.ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports xenial/main ppc64el Packages The cpupower command works (at least doesn't give this complaint) if the appropriate linux-tools-$(uname -r) (perhaps via linux-tools-generic) is installed, so the cloud package is maybe not needed (as least for some functionality). I think the fix is to either: a) supply the cloud packages for POWER, or b) remove the non-existent packages from cpupower's complaint message. ---uname output--- Linux fs3 4.4.0-75-generic #96-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 20 09:55:30 UTC 2017 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux Machine Type = Firestone ---Steps to Reproduce--- Install linux-tools-common but NOT linux-tools-*-generic on a POWER 16.04 LTS system, then run cpupower.
