Where Is the auto-cpufreq Config File?
auto-cpufreq reads /etc/auto-cpufreq.conf on Linux, with battery and charger profiles inside.
Last updated
auto-cpufreq centers on /etc/auto-cpufreq.conf holding governor choices, turbo toggles, and thresholds split by charger and battery sections. The daemon applies them automatically on power events.
Back up the conf before version jumps that rename keys. Apply with service restart and confirm with stats output. Conflicting power daemons must stay disabled or they fight over governors.
Where auto-cpufreq stores this, by platform
/etc/auto-cpufreq.conf
Battery plus charger profiles in one file. Root owned. Restart the daemon after edits and verify with stats.
Frequently asked questions
How do I tune auto-cpufreq for battery?
Set the battery section governors and turbo policy in the conf, then restart. Compare stats output on both power states.
Why is auto-cpufreq fighting my settings?
Another power daemon like TLP or power-profiles-daemon is also active. Disable all but one governor manager.
