Just got an update:  cpupower-gui-1.0.0-1.20230122.1.mga9

Same problem

Created attachment 13761 [details]
console output after package update

CC David who started working on the update.

I couldn't reproduce the issue myself with version 1.20220118.1.mga9, but now with the new 1.20230122.1.mga9 I do have the same error.

It works after running `systemctl start cpupower-gui-helper.service` manually.

Good job!  It's working now after running `systemctl start cpupower-gui-helper.service`

Thank you everyone

Marking this as resolved.  Thanks everyone.

Solved.  Thank you everyone.

From package description:
"System and user systemd units are provided for the user to enable manually, as
needed."

I believe that part of the description refers to:

```
## systemd units

Since version 0.9.0, two systemd units have been added; a "system" and a "user" one.

The `cpupower-gui.service` applies the configuration as defined in `/etc/cpupower_gui.conf` during boot.
The `cpupower-gui-user.service` applies the user configuration during login (see notes below).
```

But `cpupower-gui-helper.service` seems required for the software to be usable, so it should be auto-enabled when installed. The `%post` section is supposed to do that but it doesn't seem to work.

This issue should be fixed in next cpupower-gui-1.0.0-1.20230122.1.1.mga9.noarch.rpm update removing our mageia systemd post/preun command, which does not seem to work, with "systemctl enable/disable cpupower-gui-helper" general systemd command.

mga9-64, my workstation "svarten": OK basically.
cpupower-gui launches nicely and I can shut down and restart cores.

Weird things, out of scope of this bug:

§ The window is invisible in the Plasma panel desktop switcher.

§ If I switch off a core and enable it again, the min and max fields are still showing zero for that core and governor field say Offline!  While it displays the current speed dynamically.

§ Max freq is 2,9 GHz, but it displays cores running at 3,6 GHz
cpupower (non gui) display the same.
Even with BIOS set to over drive, if it say max is 2,9 why do run at 3,5 ?

> § The window is invisible in the Plasma panel desktop switcher.

...and is also not listed in the activity manager.

Installing the latest version from the test repositories, the application now opens correctly.

An update for this issue has been pushed to the Mageia Updates repository.
