 Posted: Mon Feb 03, 2025 5:42 pm Post subject: app-laptop/laptop-mode-tools Not finding commands to run |
 |
|
I want to reduce power consumption on the desktop PC which I am using as a NAS server. (Not used a lot and hence want it to be using least possible power)
I am trying app-laptop/laptop-mode-tools application and when I start it the below are the errors. The PC is an AMD Athlon II.

That is correct. I did modify these files. How does one use the modified files (which has desired power options). |

| Modifying the files is fine, assuming you modify them correctly. Please post the output of diff -u comparing the upstream file and your modified version. |
