[Bug 689004] Re: Problem with rt2x00pci driver in 10.10

2011-01-13 Thread Wolfgang Kufner
Hi chris, aspm[1] is there to save power in normal use whenever activity on the bus is low enough. AFAIR an example saving of 0.8W has been given for one PCIe bus. AFAIK the PCIe bus is powered off completely during sleep (S3 state). So you should loose work time on battery, but not sleep time.

Hi Pascal, I do have to assume that the above measures did not work for you. In that case the only advice I can give you for now is to file a nice bug report with ubuntu-bug linux. This will collect a lot of logs so try hard to trigger the buggy behavior before you do this. That way the logs will

My problem is very similar, and since there has been activity here recently I choose to give you details about my problem. I have a Sony Vaio with Ubuntu 10.10. I've also used Ubuntu 10.04, Xubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu 9.10, Linux Mint 8, 9 and 10, all of them 32-bit as well as 64-bit... I've always

Hi Wolfgang, sorry for the delay. I just tried it and it seems to be working with the PCIe power saving off! Thanks! So does this mean the notebook will use more power in sleep mode because the PCIe bus now keeps running? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

Not wireless powersaving, then. So let's try PCIe bus power saving: sudo touch /etc/pm/power.d/pcie_aspm Same procedure as in comment #6, but this time disabling pcie_aspm. (There is man pm-powersave for the curious, btw.) Shut down. Boot. Try suspending again. -- You received this bug

Could be a power save bug. Could you try if this also happens if you have it plugged in (which should prevent power save mode, I hope). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/689004 Title:

Good. Next step is finding out which power saving measure is broken. First guess is /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/wireless. To disable it do: sudo touch /etc/pm/power.d/wireless You now should have an empty file named wireless without the executable bit set in /etc/pm/power.d. Check with: ls -lh

Before suspending do: sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off to shut power management off. The wireless file just keeps power management from being activated automatically on battery, but it might be already on. Or just reboot once before trying. Check with: iwconfig whether power management is off or

This workaround uses rt2860sta instead of rt2xxpci. Unfortunately rt2860sta also has problems reconnecting after sleep. Is there any chance rt2xxpci will get fixed at some point or am I better off changing to an older ubuntu or another distro? -- You received this bug notification because you

Hi Chris, since the rt2x00 project is alive and well and making progress it is reasonable to assume that it will be fixed at some point. As a first step to getting there please update your bug report by running apport-cli -u 689004 on the command line. Thanks, Wolfgang -- You received this
