Hi all,

I have been trying to install powertop on a fresh install PVE 9. it states "Unable to locate package powertop". Is powertop no longer available on the no subscription repository or do I have another issue? If its not available what is everyone using as a alternative to monitor C-states.
Thanks for any help

The main Debian repository is missing: you only have trixie-updates and trixie-security but not trixie. That would explain why packages cannot be found. See also the manual: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_debian_base_repositories
