• Bug#1067097: gamemode-daemon: Fails to Set CPU Governor - pkexec not au

    From Jake Piotrowski@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 18 13:40:01 2024
    Package: gamemode-daemon
    Version: 1.8.1-2
    Severity: important

    Dear Maintainer,

    gamemoded -t fails with a message of "ERROR: Governor was not set to performance (was actually powersave)!".

    This is after installing using the meta package of "gamemode". From journalctl it appears the package is missing some polkit rules:
