hello?

[AdnanHodzic]

hello?

You do realize this project is managed by people who do this in their free time and that we're looking for developers and maintainers?

Using settings defined in /home/offeex/.config/auto-cpufreq/auto-cpufreq.conf file

Config file should be in /etc/auto-cpufreq.conf and as of recent changes in code changes made to be will be picked up immidiately as the file is saved.

oh, sorry, forgor about that one

well, i've tried to pass --config, that didn't help. In the end, everything comes to that bug when i have ideapad-laptop kernel module on, and the program tries to set thresholds (even tho i didn't specify in config to)

@PurpleWazard as someone who implemented this functionality, does this make more sense to you?

[PurpleWazard]

Some laptops even tho they use these supported kernel modules they still don't have the interface paths needed so. For more information could you give us the output of:
ls /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/

And

auto-cpufreq --debug
