[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1509135] Re: Discrete Radeon graphics unit won't stay *off*
foobar, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page from http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder)? Install instructions are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds . This will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version. If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream. Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this report's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: latest-bios-f.29 ** Tags added: regression-release ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1509135 Title: Discrete Radeon graphics unit won't stay *off* To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1509135/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1509135] Re: Discrete Radeon graphics unit won't stay *off*
Hi Christopher: I ran apport-collect for you, as described in your message below. I've tried a number of things to turn the discrete Radeon unit off. I'm currently trying to use "radeon.dpm=0" in the kernel, followed by echo profile > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method echo profile > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_method echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile echo low > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_profile echo IGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch Previously, I've tried "radeon.dpm=1" in the kernel, followed by echo battery > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_state echo battery > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_dpm_state I'm willing to try other combinations if can suggest some.

foobar, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. To advise, this report is only scoped to how the discrete radeon graphics won't stay off.
