** Also affects: plasma-optimus (Ubuntu Impish) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: plasma-optimus (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: High Assignee: Erich Eickmeyer (eeickmeyer) Status: Fix Committed ** Changed in: plasma-optimus (Ubuntu Impish) Status: New => Fix Committed ** Changed in: plasma-optimus (Ubuntu Impish) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: plasma-optimus (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: High => Medium ** Changed in: plasma-optimus (Ubuntu Impish) Assignee: (unassigned) => Erich Eickmeyer (eeickmeyer) ** Description changed: [Impact] * Users have reported abnormally high power usage in plasma-optimus. Upon investigation, this was due to a component (sniff-gpu.sh) being called every second, using 0.037 seconds of processor time each call due to glxinfo being called as part of the script. For laptop users, this is problematic when on battery power. This upload includes a patch which runs sniff-gpu.sh once upon load. Additionally, the script has been updated to only run "prime-select query" every 10 seconds as opposed to every second, which lowers CPU usage as well. * Additionally, it has been noticed that when someone changes GPU mode from the command line (via prime-select), this widget is unable to switch to the GPU mode previously selected since it was incorrectly reported as "true" when it should update to "false" for GPU mode in use. [Test Plan] * With plasma-optimus installed, run powertop. Notice every second sniff-gpu being called with high power usage due to glxinfo being called. * Change GPU mode via 'prime-select nvidia|on-demand|intel'. Widget will update to the correct icon, but more than one menu item becomes disabled (only current mode should be disabled). [Where problems could occur] * The only disadvantage to this update is that instead of updating the widget every second, it now updates every 10 seconds, meaning if one updates via 'prime-select' it will not take effect in the widget right away. This may cause some users, expecting it to update immediately/within a second, to think the behavior is abnormal. + + [Other Information] + + * This fix was done under an entirely new upload (22.04.0) for Jammy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1948497 Title: [SRU] plasma-optimus has abnormally high power usage and has menu issues To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-optimus/+bug/1948497/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
