I don't get it. what we have to do to have it bring back to life? downloading the system.js created by nicolas and put it where exactly? I downloaded it and put it in the file cpupower (in extensions in .locals) and nothing happened. what then should we do with that file? where we have to put it? do we have to remove a file in adding that file? sorry, I don't get what to do with that system.js file..
It's fairly simple. All you have to do is modify two files as you can see in @NicolasDerumigny PR.
Just edit file: /home/<YOUR_USERNAME>/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/src/indicator.js and change line 111 from:
this.power = Main.panel.statusArea["aggregateMenu"]._power;
to
this.power = imports.ui.main.panel.statusArea.quickSettings._system._systemItem._powerToggle;
Also you need to modify file: /home/<YOUR_USERNAME>/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/metadata.json by adding your Gnome version to "shell-version":
before: "shell-version": ["3.28", "3.30", "3.36", "3.38", "40", "41", "42"],
after: "shell-version": ["3.28", "3.30", "3.36", "3.38", "40", "41", "42", "43"],
After modifying this two files, you need to log out or restart your Gnome Shell by ALT+F2 typing r and hitting enter.

Non complete list of things not working with Gnome 43 / Ubuntu 22.10 by simply changing the metadata:
- Tray Icon (its just blank)
- Current Frequency (always .8 GHz, even tho
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
suggests otherwise with AMD ryzen)
Ubuntu 22.10 also brings amd p_state which seems to work fine (also confirmed with 5.17 OEM kernel on 22.04)

Sorry, I have been busy with another project, but now that my machine has been updated, expect a PR soon :).
from cpupower.
yeah, that would be nice and really useful to have a version for Gnome 43. is there only one person on that project?
yes, currently I'm the only one working on this. I cannot give any ETA for an update. I currently have more important stuff to do. A realistic time to start working on this would be in December...

+1 . Thank you!

Hi folk!
I have started looking a bit more into the code and updated it (not to break compatibility with older GNOME versions....).
Now we need you help. I am running under Arch Linux and cannot test on other distributions, but (copy/paste from the GNOME 42 update / some versions may have updated their GNOME release since):
For such a version increment to happen, we need testing in the most popular Linux distributions, including
all supported Ubuntu LTS releases
- 22.04 (Gnome 42)
- 20.04 (Gnome 3.36)
- 18.04 (Gnome 3.28)
latest debian testing, stable, and old-stable
- testing (bookworm) (Gnome 43)
- stable (bullseye) (Gnome 3.38)
- old-stable (buster) (Gnome 3.30)
Fedora stable and old-stable
- Fedora 35 (soon EOL, maybe skip?) (Gnome 41)
- Fedora 36 (Gnome 42)
- [ x ] Fedora 37 (???)
Other
- latest Arch (Gnome 43)
- Latest PopOS! (22.04, Gnome 42)
Testing procedure
Run
$ make install PREFIX=$HOME/.local
$ dbus-run-session -- gnome-shell --nested --wayland
and check for errors and warnings regarding cpupower in the console output while doing the following steps:
- Do clean installation (via the dropdown)
- Moving both sliders in the dropdown with
i. Mouse
ii. Arrow keys
iii. Mouse wheel - Toggle Turbo Boost
- Change Profile
- Toggle Auto-Switch (testing maybe not possible as VMs don't fire AC adapter events)
- Open Preferences and toggle all options
- Do 2-4 for all available backends
- Create a new profile and change its position (move up and down in the list)
- Set all values in that new profile
- Select it in the extensions dropdown menu
- Remove the profile
- Open About Window
- Uninstall tool and polkit rules (this is known to be flaky, if this fails this is not a stopper)
- Install latest version from Gnome Extensions
- Update with this version
- Check if update procedure is working (Note: this requires a version increment which is only done by
make release
which I have not done yet, so version ininstaller.sh
andcpufreqctl
needs to be incremented manually for testing) - Native installs
i. For debian-based distros
a. do a clean install of the latest .deb for this extension
b. build a deb for the new version and update with the package manager and check if the update is working
ii. For red-hat based distros
a. do a clean install of the latest .rpm for this extension
b. build a rpm for the new version and update with the package manager and check if the update is working
Global installation method and all other installation methods are not tested (at least by me). You can do it if you want and if you encounter any issues, I will do my best to fix them.
Orca (screen reader) support can only be tested in "real" gnome-shells (non-nested). At least I couldn't get Orca running in the nested gnome-shell, but it would be nice to have basic testing for screen-readers in all distros (profile management in preferences dialog is known to be hard-to-impossible to use with orca, this will be fixed when redesigning the preferences dialog and not a stopper for a new release).

If you are running an Intel CPU you might have a look at cpupower-gui. It is a DE-independent graphical program for managing Intel p-state. It does not have Shell integration like this extension, but might serve your needs. And most importantly it is independent of Gnome-Shell update shenanigans.
from cpupower.
Good call. I was looking at the gnome
package which does not exactly match.

Just a small heads up: Testing (bookworm) comes with Gnome 43 since September.
from cpupower.
Oh, I just noticed something else. Gnome 3.36 is shipped on Ubuntu 20.04, not 3.30. Also I think it is Gnome 3.28 that is shipped on Ubuntu 18.04, not 3.22.

from cpupower.
thanks for your response. that is sad because your program is the only one that actually works on Gnome and it works perfectly. I don't get why Gnome includes their own power manager and it literally doesn't work on any of their gnome 4X.
anyway, thanks for your great program. In the meantime, I might add another DE. They might have a good power manager. I know Cinnamon has one, but it never worked or freeze the laptop. Might try maybe KDE. Can't wait for your Gnome 43 version!
from cpupower.
Ok, thanks. I will try that before adding another DE.
from cpupower.
I have looked a bit and this is due to Gnome 43 changing the location of the battery toggle used for detection of the charging / not charging state, used in src/indicator.js
. It was moved from aggregateMenu
to Main.panel.statusArea.quickSettings
. I found the source code here and here for the powerToggle but it seems to differ quite a bit, as _power
do not exist anymore, but powerToggle
does, which seems not to have _proxy.State
.
Edit: was not looking at the right place. See next comment!
from cpupower.
that would be great to have that extension upgraded, Nicolas! I have found a temporary solution, but it is not as good as this CPU Power Manager.
from cpupower.
Support is back again on my PR :).
Thanks @NicolasDerumigny for finding solution. I can confirm that making changes like in your PR and restarting Gnome Shell brings extension back to life in Gnome 43 :) Thanks!

from cpupower.
Only those 2 small steps + log-out? It is quite simple. Thanks for explaining, but unfortunately for me, it doesn't work. When I check on my list of extensions, it still not showing that extension so I can't turn it on.
from cpupower.
It depends how you installed the extension first. If it was done by the package manager, then the files are located in /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])/
. Or wait until this PR got merged :).
from cpupower.
Hi Nicolas. Yes, I had find the file and made the changes that Hyde was talking about, but I don't know how to turn it on, because it does not appear back on my list of the extensions (see pic below). But no worry, I will wait until this PR got merged. Thanks so much for your work!
from cpupower.
Looks you can skip PopOS. They skipped 22.10 because it seems they don't want Gnome 43 and are making their own DE.
from cpupower.
I don't think PopOS! should be skipped, as long as GNOME is still supported by default on this distro (which is the case, right?)

Yes, if PopOS skipped a release, the latest release is still the one that needs testing.
from cpupower.
I believe Gnome 42 is the default on PopOS 22.04 but they have decided to stop using Gnome for the future versions, that is why they won't release a 22.10. They don't want Gnome 43 and instead are working deeper on their own DE for the 23.04 edition. But right, ofc, the new extension should still be compatible with their Gnome 42.

Oh, I just noticed something else. Gnome 3.36 is shipped on Ubuntu 20.04, not 3.30. Also I think it is Gnome 3.28 that is shipped on Ubuntu 18.04, not 3.22.
Feel free to correct this if it's wrong. I looked this up with the packages provided for gnome-session
in the official repositories of each distro without backports.

PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL THE MASTER BRANCH FROM cpupower-gui
ON FEDORA 36 !!!
IT BRICKS THE SYSTEM: vagnum08/cpupower-gui#96
Will update comment when its fixed
from cpupower.
I did try cpupower-gui when I was suggested that in this thread. It just doesn't work. You set a limit and the limit is crossed.
My solution after was simply to install cpufrequitls and set manually what I want and it works perfectly.
from cpupower.
Thanks for the heads-up! This explains why this extension is still so popular although it is tightly coupled with GNOME and is constantly lacking behind in supporting new GNOME versions 😂 🙈

Hi @NicolasDerumigny !
Thanks for giving us a complete test case for validating this.
I have run and passed successfully all those tests on Fedora 37! You can tick this distro in your list ;)
Thanks!
from cpupower.
Thanks a lot for your testing, I update! The testing procedure is from @fin-ger , I have just pasted it from another thread :). Which version of GNOME do you have, 42?
from cpupower.
So did the extension has been updated properly on the site of gnome extensions now? I had to revert to Gnome 3.38 so I can't see it if it is compatible with Gnome 43 . Oh and just a heads up, Gnome 44 will be released soon. In March.
from cpupower.
I have not touched this project, so I do not think this is the case, as further testing was needed for a merge. I will however submit another PR once Arch packages Gnome 43.
from cpupower.
@NicolasDerumigny have you gotten around to this? Gnome 43 is now out on arch.
from cpupower.
Just FYI, gnome 44 will come out on the 22.03.
So it will be likely available to most Distros around middle to end of April (and to arch at the start of April)
from cpupower.
There is my support for GNOME 44 https://github.com/NicolasDerumigny/cpupower :-).
from cpupower.
Note that I haven't had time to rewrite the cpufrectl
utility in JS (the original messes up the measurements on my system as is triggers boost) and likely won't until at least summer, so there is no way this gets eventually published here as it depends on my (custom) modification the former.
from cpupower.
Debian 12 Stable is released today. It has Gnome 43 as a DE. Is the gnome extension now compatible with Gnome 43?
