# Prerequisites
For AMD under Ubuntu:
sudo apt install --yes --quiet --quiet \
libqt5x11extras5-dev \
qtbase5-dev \
libqt5x11extras5 \
libdrm-amdgpu1 \
libdrm-common \
libdrm-dev
For Nvidia under Ubuntu:
sudo apt install --yes --quiet --quiet \
libqt5x11extras5-dev \
qtbase5-dev \
libqt5x11extras5 \
libdrm-amdgpu1 \
libdrm-common \
libdrm-dev \
nvidia-utils-440-server \
nvidia-settings \
libxnvctrl-dev
# Requirements (nvidia)
- [Coolbits](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA/Tips_and_tricks#Enabling_overclocking) set to the value you want (31 for all functionality)
# Installation (nvidia)
### Compilation
NOTE: on some systems, qmake is linked to qt4-qmake. If qmake fails, run qmake-qt5 in place of qmake
```
git clone https://github.com/Lurkki14/tuxclocker
cd tuxclocker
qmake rojekti.pro
make
make install (installs into /opt/tuxclocker/bin)
```
### Arch Linux
#### AUR package
[https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tuxclocker/](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tuxclocker/)
# Requirements (AMD)
- amdgpu.ppfeaturemask boot paramter set to the value you want. To view the current value, run
```
printf "0x%08x\n" $(cat /sys/module/amdgpu/parameters/ppfeaturemask)
```
Example grub line (usually /etc/default/grub):
```
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.dpm=1 amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff"
```
After editing, update grub, usually
```
sudo update-grub
```
# Installation (AMD)
### Compilation
NOTE: on some, systems, qmake is linked to qt4-qmake. If qmake fails, run qmake-qt5 in place of qmake
```
git clone https://github.com/Lurkki14/tuxclocker
cd tuxclocker
git checkout pstatetest
qmake rojekti.pro
make
make install (installs into /opt/tuxclocker/bin)
```
NOTE: to use fancurves on the AMD version, you need to run as root.
