after each reboot i had to manually install auto cpufreq …
what should i do?
i just clean installed fedora 35
It is a GitHub project which provides best battery life in any Linux… You can google it… it is not provided by default Fedora or it is no Fedora package… it worked fine in Fedora 34 but not in Fedora 35 …
Hello, welcome to the forum. Please read the introductory posts in the #start-here category if you haven’t had a chance yet.
What is auto-cpufreq? I couldn’t find this in the repos:
$ sudo dnf whatprovides '*/auto-cpufreq'

Can you please edit your post to provide a link? (It’s best to provide all the information there so that others that are trying to help you don’t have to do the extra work—asking them to google stuff for you is bad practice :))
I am not sure why you feel a 3rd party app like that is needed. On my laptop (and desktop) the cpu freq is managed by the system/OS as needed depending upon system load.
Maybe you should actually see if it is needed before adding something you need to manually configure each time you boot.
its a small package/tool to improve battery life in laptops, it basically scale cpu freq based on the load on the system, usually when you will be on battery it will be scale down to lowest possible freq to save battery life…
it comes with a systemd config to basicallly auto start the service on boot, i upgraded to fedora 35 today and regretting it, i also have similar issue…
Since this is not in Fedora, there’s no maintainer in the community looking at this software and whether it works with Fedora.
So, has anyone filed a bug with the developers?
looked over logs and there seems to be some error, created an issue over github… will update the post if there are some fix

Here is an update regarding the solution…
First is to basically reinstall and make sure all the dependecies are installed as welll…
There is another issue and that is service being killed by gnome Power Profile daemon in that case stop the autocpufreq service. and disable the power Profile daemon
stopping & masking the gnome power profile daemon should fix your problem.
systemctl stop power-profiles-daemon
Followed by
systemctl mask power-profiles-daemon
Then either reboot or start auto-cpufreq
systemctl start auto-cpufreq
