Good afternoon. I am having issues getting a startup script i wrote for my overclock settings to initialize on bootup. I have run the script independently and it works perfectly; however, when i run it in rc.local, it does not work.
overclock.sh (this is the overlocking script)
#!/bin/bash
sudo nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=-200'
sudo nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=1100'
sudo nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUFanControlState[3]=1'
sudo nvidia-settings -a '[fan:0]/GPUTargetFanSpeed[3]=55'
sudo nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:1]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=-200'
sudo nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:1]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=1100'
sudo nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:1]/GPUFanControlState[3]=1'
sudo nvidia-settings -a '[fan:1]/GPUTargetFanSpeed[3]=55'
sudo nvidia-smi -pl 75
/etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
/home/ubuntu1/overclock.sh &
exit 0
The odd thing is that overclock.sh is running on startup, but rc.local is skipping all of the lines that say 'sudo nvidia-settings -a ....." but running the line that says 'sudo nvidia-smi -pl 75' as I can see that one change in the system.
sudorequires credentials. If you really want to figure out what's going on you should add error checking to your script or at least log the output. – Elder Geek Jan 12 '18 at 03:57
