: Tests Failed!

The CPU governor fails to switch to 'performance' mode as expected during tests, instead remaining on 'schedutil'. Additionally, there is an issue with the ioprio verification step.

To Reproduce:
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Launch gamemode using command 'gamemoded -t'
Start the game '....'
Monitor the output of '....'
Observe the errors mentioned in the test results.
Expected behavior
The CPU governor should switch to 'performance' mode upon gamemode activation. Additionally, the ioprio verification should complete without errors.

System Info

OS and version: Linux Mint 21.3 "Virginia" with XFCE desktop
GameMode Version: 1.8.1
Additional context:
The issue appears to be intermittent.

The only fix I found was simply using git checkout to switch to version 1.7 upon doing this all tests passed. Not sure what's up

I had the same problem (Manjaro). Adding my user to the group 'gamemode' removed the error.
