JanChm, I use my laptops with the AC cable 90% of the time  :)08:58
JanCand 2% isn't really significant08:59
JanCthe applications I use have more impact on battery life than that08:59
JanC(if that 2% is correct)09:00
JanCe.g. one bug in edgy's nautilus might have like 20-30% impact on battery life...09:02
BenCJanC: I think he means it affects 2% of people09:05
JanCdade`: can you clarify?  :)09:06
dade`wait, i'm not so good in english, i try to find the pdf09:07
dade`http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/doc/OLS2006-bltk-paper.pdf09:08
dade`is there a way to turn off bluetooth ?09:12
JanCit looks like 1000Hz isn't really a problem for laptop users when the system is idle09:12
dade`there is something else that wastes power energy09:13
dade`HZ seems to be not so important09:14
dade`I did some lame test on my macbook, osx consumes 1200/1300 mah, linux does ~1800 idling on  same conditions09:15
dade`and on heavy load the difference is even bigger09:16
JanCthat doesn't compare interrupt frequency on linux though  :)09:16
JanC'I wish the linux test labs funded by the major linux distributions would do such tests...)09:17
JanC* and major linux service providers *09:18
JanCI mean, what are they doing with all that money from IBM & co. ?   ;-)09:18
dade`do you have a laptop ? wich one ?09:19
dade`which09:19
JanCI have an Intel Core Duo 2300 (Centrino)09:20
JanClocal brand laptop based on an MSI "barebone"09:21
dade`ok09:21
dade`i tried to boot without loading ANY bluetooth module09:21
dade`and my bluetooth mouse just works09:21
dade`funny huh ?09:21
JanCdade`: udev ?  :)09:55
dade`udev what ?09:56
JanChow do you load no bluetooth?09:56
dade`if the module is not loaded bluetooth sould be off09:56
JanCudev will (should) load all necessary modules when it's needed...09:57
dade`when it's needed09:57
dade`lsmod showed no bluetooth module loaded09:59

lehaidwhat the most recommended place to read about compiling my own ubuntu-kernel for 6.06?10:01
JanClehaid: see /topic10:02
dade`before10:02
dade`i guess10:03
JanCdade`: it's possible tha tudev just loaded that driver after that then?10:03
dade`no10:03
dade`i look at it while using the mouse10:03
JanCin that case, i can only imagine some sort of BIOS emulation  :)10:03
dade`yes it looks like an usb mouse10:04
dade`but i don't care about this, i just wanted to power off bluetooth to save energy !10:04
dade`and there is no way10:04
lehaidi want to compile an kernel module which packages should i have besides the linux-headers or is it enough ?10:15
JanCdade`: remove all bluetooth drivers  :)10:16
JanCor maybe you can disable bluetooth fysically10:17
dade`i think it works anyway 10:17
dade`there is no hw button in macbooks10:17
lehaidanybody know what i need besides that?10:17
lehaidshouldn't /usr/include/linux hold the kernel headers?10:37

tormodBenC: you confirmed bug #72765, with no comment. Did you reproduce it yourself?11:34
BenCtormad: I confirmed it based on your answers...you seemed to be confident that it was only reproducible with 2.6.19 kernels and not 2.6.1711:35
BenCtormad: Is my faith in your confidence misplaced? :)11:35
tormodbenc, of course not (but yout spelling is :) I was just curious if you saw it somewhere else.11:36
BenCtormod: ok, I just marked it as such to make sure I keep an eye on it...I have nothing to work with yet, unless you are willing to do a git-bisect to recompile the kernel a bunch of times to nail down the commit that started it11:38
tormodbenc, I wonder if it has to with the pata transition. Is there a way I kind force the old pata back?11:39
tormods/kind/can (I spell funny today too)11:40
BenCif you download the kernel source you should be able to compile just the ide module and try it out11:41
BenCyou'd have to move it to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/ide/pci/,  blacklist the pata module and rerun "sudo update-initramfs"11:42
tormodcan I not remove some module from the initrd11:42
BenCthe old ide module is not being built for your chipset if you now have a pata module11:42
tormodwould that be the ide/pci/via82cxxx.ko module in my case?11:45
