Wanted to post and leave this here for other who may been having the struggle with getting core CoreCtrl up and working on Nobara like I did. the Gitlab doesn't have all the correct instructions for this distro.

REMINDER: CoreCtrl for GPU advanced settings like this guide shows only works for AMD GPU's. NVIDIA GPU's don't support it on Linux.

1: Install it, duh. then run it to make sure it works too.

sudo dnf install corectrl 

2: Create a text file and name it "90-corectrl.pkla" in the file destination bellow.

/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/90-corectrl.pkla

with the following contents:

[User permissions] 

Identity=unix-group:your-user-group Action=org.corectrl.* ResultActive=yes

The "your-user-group" is your user group which should be the first bit of the command line in a terminal that appears before typing.

EX:

[tc@TC ~]$

Therefore~ "tc"

[User permissions]

Identity=unix-group:tc Action=org.corectrl.* ResultActive=yes

In my case.

3: Time to edit the grub and this is where it deviates from the Gitlab guide a bit cause Fedora stuff.

In terminal enter

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Then as the guide mentions you need to enter

amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff

to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= as instructed. it should look something like this.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet splash resume=UUID=ec70262b-7e5d-4402-a48b-c22a855757c1 amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff'

Then regenerate the bootloader with this command

sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Just adds 2 in different places in the line so Nobara can do the correct thing. the command in the Gitlab page will just tell you "grub-mkconfig: command not found..." Thank you LionHeartP on the Nobara Discord for helping me with that.

4: Just reboot and then you should be good to go for Corectl on your AMD GPU. Enjoy!

So, i decided to change from windows to linux officialy, and got recommended to use Nobara as i'm a ""gamer"". There is something like a "starter guide" to nobara and linux in general? I'm kinda used to the terminal as i used Linux Mint at my job, but i really need some help to learn about customization, download the right drivers (i have a nvidia gpu) etc.

any tip will be accepted, i'm really interested in learning about this beautiful world of linux and do some r/unixporn stuff lol

Lost voltage control, power limit maxes out at 280 instead of 315 watts, and I can only choose between the maximum frequency and the minimum, no in between. This happened to anyone else yet?

Greetings!

I'm beginner at Linux (worked on it flawlessly, god bless chatGPT) and currently stuck on installing power control panel for gamescope and desktop.

I've successfully installed Decky and got it running on gamescope, but can't surpass installing power control anyhow. I've tried regular stuff like downloading tar.gz and installing through terminal, but there's no install or ./make or anything else.

Also, couldn't install it as ZIP (v1 and v2 panel with source code and non source code).

I really want to get playing on Nobara instead of Win, but without TDP control and fan curve it's just too loud and ineffective. Any suggestions?

P.S.: got GPD WIN MINI, Ryzen 7840.

SOLVED!: was trying to install wrong plugin (power control panel), while I was needed powercontrol mentioned down by u/NotARedShirt. Now I have fan controls.

And wouldn't find awesome corectrl software, which I will discover and explore later to completely find out how configuring AMD works (couldn't get it running properly). On my way to linux. Thanks guys!

ive been using linux for a bit now but ive had some pretty severe performance issues on battery ive installed CoreCtrl from the nobara repo but GPU MHz and power limit seem to do nothing memory MHz does apply but thats all as i said in the title i have a G15 advantage edition 5900HX+6800M and no its not just using my integrated graphics tho some apps still do that if anyone knows how to force an app to run with the dedicated graphics that would be great too

When I play any game (at this point just using Steam) the fans spin up to full blast even though my system is running easy and cool. When I run "sensors" via commandline it show fan1 at 0 RPM. There are six fans in the case right now, I just kinda stuck them in because I had room. So yes, I realize there are prob more fans than are needed but how do you calm them down or at least get the system to recognize that they don't need to be running 100% all the time in games.

Hi, I just switched to Nobara from windows 11 and my CPU temps are about 10 C higher on idle and when playing any game or downloading something it immediately hits its 90C cap and stays there. I’m using a 5900X and 6800XT. Any suggestions? Could it be the special Kernal that Nobara uses??

Edit: I’m re installing some AMD drivers atm and just downloading them my CPU is at 90

Edit 2: it’s just sitting at 90 C all the time now :(
