Execute this command on a terminal:
$ mkdir -p $HOME/.config/autostart/
$ cp /usr/share/applications/org.corectrl.CoreCtrl.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
CoreCtrl uses a helper with root privileges to control your system. In order to start the helper, the system will ask you to enter your user password. If you want to avoid being asked every time for your password, you can grant root access to the helper permanently. Just create the file /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/90-corectrl.rules
with the following contents:
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if ((action.id == "org.corectrl.helper.init" ||
action.id == "org.corectrl.helperkiller.init") &&
subject.local == true &&
subject.active == true &&
subject.isInGroup("your-user-group")) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
Replace your-user-group
with your user group name.
Currently, to have full control of your AMD GPU while using the amdgpu
driver, you need to append the boot parameter amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff
to your bootloader configuration and reboot.
NOTE: The following instructions are for guidance only. Check your distribution documentation on how to add a boot parameter before proceed.
If your system uses Grub, edit the file (as root) /etc/default/grub
and append the parameter to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="<other_params>... amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff"
Then regenerate (as root) the bootloader configuration file with the command:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Reboot your system.
You should have more controls when you select Advanced
as Performance mode
.
