Re: [LAU] Scaling governor goes back to 'powersave' a bit after boot up

Probably you need to purge cpufrequtils, since it seems to contain relevant scripts. Keep in mind that systemd-sysv-generator handles init scripts. [root@archlinux rocketmouse]# systemd-nspawn -qD /mnt/moonstudio [root@moonstudio ~]# apt update [root@moonstudio ~]# apt install cpufrequtils [root@moonstudio ~]# dpkg -L cpufrequtils | grep init.d/ /etc/init.d/loadcpufreq /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils [root@moonstudio ~]# apropos systemd-sysv-generator systemd-sysv-generator (8) - Unit generator for SysV init scripts [root@moonstudio ~]# apt purge cpufrequtils libcpufreq0 [root@moonstudio ~]# lsb_release -dc Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Codename: xenial I don't know if there are other packages provided by Ubuntu repositories and/or Mint repositories, but cpufrequtils looks like a reasonable culprit.
