TLP governor settings not taking effect

Question

I have TLP installed with these config lines:

CPU_SCALING_GOVERNOR_ON_AC=powersave
CPU_SCALING_GOVERNOR_ON_BAT=powersave

But my governors are still ondemand. I know how to do it with cpufrequtils as mentioned in How to permanently set CPU power management to the powersave governor?, but why is the TLP settings not taking effect?

I dont have cpufrequtils installed. But I do have cpupower. But does that matter?

had the same problem, the solution is to disable cpufrequtils and ondemand service

sudo update-rc.d -f ondemand remove 
sudo update-rc.d -f cpufrequtils remove
