Description Morgan Leijström 2024-10-30 10:18:29 CET
Spawn from bug 33671 comment 15

I see gamemode 1.8.1-1 in updates testing, but find no related bug open so I wonder why it is there, and 1.8.2 seem to be out. So I open this bug for updating for real, plus questions below:


Also:

This should have a place in our wiki so users find it.
For now, I started adding it to https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Setup_the_graphical_server#Gamemode, and think to maybe link to it from places where we talk about running games.

Question: Looking for documentation on usage, I found not so much upstream at https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode, but Arch as usual have nice pages 
https://man.archlinux.org/man/gamemoderun.1.en, and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamemode.

There they mention adding user to "gamemode" user group.
Is that valid on Mageia too?

maybe worthwhile to update to 1.8.2.

'gamemode' group is already automatically added by the package %postin

cat /etc/group | grep gamemode
gamemode:x:...

Yes, but do user need to be in that group for optimal performance?

1) I see an updated gamemode in testing. Ready?

Well that one is 1.8.1 from a year ago, still in testing repo.
Yes we should go for 1.8.2 +

Reassigning to all packagers
