RESOLVED
DO NOT disable “Cool n Quiet”
I have a Ryzen 5900X, and I was able to change the frequency by using cpufreqd/cpufrequtils & the CPU Frequency indicator (indicator-cpufreq on Ubuntu)
Now, for some reason, it’s not working. The indicator is not launching
$ indicator-cpufreq

$ sudo cpufreq-set -g ondemand
Error setting new values. Common errors:
- Do you have proper administration rights? (super-user?)
- Is the governor you requested available and modprobed?
- Trying to set an invalid policy?
- Trying to set a specific frequency, but userspace governor is not available,
for example because of hardware which cannot be set to a specific frequency
or because the userspace governor isn't loaded?

I also tried CoreCtrl, but nothing shows
Is there an alternative?
