But I can't see any very high power users so maybe we're looking in the wrong place. And maybe we need to be more scientific about this... To be more scientific about the problem we need to display the current power usage in watts. You can do that using either 'sudo powertop' or in the Power Statistics app looking at your battery information. Next, now that you can see the exact power usage watts, try changing things like running a different shell. For example Unity: sudo apt install unity-session You may also then want to try different kernel versions (older and newer) and compare the power usage of those: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795342 Title: High Power Consumption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-consumption/+bug/1795342/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
