I have tried this (How do I write a script that runs on startup?) to automatically run a throttle stop script at startup. But I cannot make it work.

I've tried the methods (GUI app, cron job and /rc.local) described here: https://www.fosslinux.com/42796/how-to-auto-execute-linux-startup-scripts-and-commands.htm

And, I have also tried the following tool (https://github.com/agoose77/throttlestop), but it didn't work.

The script:

#!/bin/sh

# Prevent unset variable problems
set -u

# Change CPU setting
cpufreq-set -c 0 -g performance
cpufreq-set -c 1 -g performance
cpufreq-set -c 2 -g performance
cpufreq-set -c 3 -g performance
modprobe msr
wrmsr 0x1FC 2359388

Some info that may help:

  • PC: Dell Vostro 15 3568
  • cpuinfo: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-6100U CPU @ 2.30GHz
  • cpufreq/scaling_driver:intel_pstate
  • cpufreq/scaling_governor: powersave
  • current frequency: 400 MHz
  • linux version: Ubuntu 20.04

  • @David Linux Mint 20 but I'm planning to go back to Ubuntu 20.04, so make it Ubuntu.

I know is mint related, but Ubuntu users may be benefited from it. Thanks!

  • There is only one issue with it. When pc suspends, the script has to be re-executed.
