GameMode version 1.8.1 in Ubuntu repository not work

[Augusto7743]

Hello,
Thanks for reading my topic.
In Ubuntu 24.04 the gamemode version 1.7 works, but the version 1.8.1 in the Ubuntu repository not works.
That issue is related in source 1.8.1 or Ubuntu repository error ?
Where to download an gamemode current development version in deb file format ?

Have an nice week.

hey @Augusto7743 my suggestion would be to compile it from source, not that hard, and really brings a lot to the table. I'm also on Ubuntu and this should be error free:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y meson libsystemd-dev pkg-config ninja-build git dbus-user-session libdbus-1-dev libinih-dev build-essential cmake systemd-dev
git clone https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode.git
cd gamemode
./bootstrap.sh

:)

Hi, I think the error comes because the 1.8.1 that comes with 24.04 wont create the group gamemode, so you have to create the group and the and your user to it. In my case with Kubuntu 24.04 had that problem, could solve it this way.
