Hi Luka!
How is the current state of k/powersave on kubuntu? I noticed that now the
current versions are in the universe repository. Is there a chance that both
are default for the next kubuntu?
I read the thread in the forum [1] and I have some notes:
* I think it make really sense to add a s2ram package to kubuntu. This should
workaround many of the suspend2ram problems the users have in the thread and
if a machine isn't listed at the moment, they should follow the page Stefan
wrote at opensuse [2.1]. IMO they maybe should also take a look at [2.2]
(both wiki pages are currently for SUSE, but the most should also match
kubuntu). All reports back to us would improve the tool.
* I noticed also that some users have problems with cpufreq. I tested a
littlebit on a x86_64 machine (with older packages) and I noticed that there
was no powernow-k8 module was loaded. They should alway check if there is
in /sys/devices/system/cpu/... a cpufreq directory and if all governours are
available (are the modules loaded?) and if they can set them with (select one
of them):
echo "ondemand/userspace/powersave/performance" > scaling_govenor
* I'm not shure (Stefan or Holger can say more about this), but I think we
don't use the laptop_mode script by default on SUSE. Maybe there are
sidekicks, but powersave set some disk settings already in the
set_disk_settings script. I think it make sense to disable laptop_mode by
default if there is powersave running.
* I would appreciate if the users from the thread would write at least about
not kunbuntu specific problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This
would help improve K/powersave.
I hope this help a littlebit. Btw.: You make a great job integrate powersave
in kubuntu and support your users.
Regards,
Danny
