Luremjg59: are suspend regressions on feisty known (HP nw8240)? 09:49
mjg59Lure: I lack the time to keep track of every bug, I'm afraid :)09:49
mjg59Lure: If it's in Launchpad, then yes. If not, then no.09:50
Luremjg59: ok, I will check and submit my data09:50
mjg59Lure: No PM stuff other than the kernel has changed, so file it against that09:51
Luremjg59: thanks, will do09:51

Solarionany recommendation for power saving on a notebook?  It seems to suck power much faster than it used to under a different linux.10:30
jlduggercpufreq on?10:31
Solariondefine "on".  It switches around on cpu speed, depending on load.10:32
jlduggerwell, clocks down on idle is fine enough10:32
Solarionheya jldugger10:32
jlduggeryou can set it always low if you're desperate10:32
SolarionI just wish I knew where the drain was10:32
jlduggerhey10:32
=== Solarion is Trelane from gnome
jlduggeri vaguely knew that10:33
Solarionactually, I'm solarion from gnome too, but not on irc.  ;)10:33
Solarionwonder if it's the r300 driver?10:33
jldugger#k-slug10:33
Solarionoh, that too10:33
jlduggerthats where i primarily know you10:33
Solarionheh10:33
Solarionanyhow, any ideas?10:34
jlduggerbacklight10:34
jlduggerhard drive10:34
Solarionnah, that's pretty much the same.10:34
Solarionhard drive might be spun up more10:34
jlduggertickless kernel10:34
Solarionthat's probably in feisty+110:34
jlduggerremove CDs from the drive10:34
jlduggerturn off stuff you don't use like bluetooth10:35
Solarion2.6.19 has some infrasturcutre, but it looks like the actual tickless patches didn't make it10:35
SolarionI wonder if network-manager is part of the problem10:35
Solarionis there an easy bt on/off switch?10:35
jlduggerthere is on mine ;)10:35
jlduggerits right next to the microphone10:35
Solarionjldugger: what is it?10:35
jlduggerits a hardware switch :P10:36
Solarionah, in bios?10:36
SolarionLAME.  ;)10:36
Solariongiven that networkmanager keeps both cards fired up, I wonder if that's the drain10:36
jlduggerthere's also an Fn-button combo that optionally switches off wifi/bt/both10:36
jlduggerwell, the new gnome has a nice power manager tool10:37
Solarionnew?10:37
jlduggeryou can watch a graph of power usage over time10:37
jlduggernew-ish to me10:37
Solarion2.16?10:37
jlduggeryea10:37
Solarionoh, hey.  there it is.10:38
jlduggerSolarion from Gnome, you say?10:38
Solarionwell, my userid10:38
SolarionI'm Trelane on irc.gnome.org.10:38
jlduggerim just teasing you about not finding it before i did10:39
Solarionah10:39
=== Solarion waves his hand dismissively
jlduggerone thing to note is that the prediction isnt very linear10:40
jlduggeras time goes on estimate time kinda goes up10:40
Solarionlike an exp modeled linear, yes10:40
jlduggerim sure you computational physicists know more about what kind of regression it is10:41
Solarionpfft10:41
=== jldugger waves his hand dismissively
=== Solarion waves his dismissive handily
jlduggeranyways, my laptop idles around something like 20W10:41
Solariondid you see the battery recall notifier?10:41
Solariontalk about awesome10:41
jldugger?10:42
jlduggercant say i did10:42
Solarionsomeone hacked in battery recall notification.  Basically called the community to send in info from recalled and non-recalled batteries, and got gnome-power-manager to notify you if your battery may be recalled.10:42
Solarionlooks like mine idles at around 20W too10:42
jlduggerwonder how low it got in your other distro10:43
Solarionit was gentoo.  I dunno.10:43
SolarionI had maxed out some stuff too10:43
jlduggerif you think it's r300, try switching to vesa and see if that gets you anywhere10:44
SolarionI'd rather run r300.  :)10:44
SolarionI'm thinking it might be networkmanager + hard drive10:44
jlduggeryou can at least rule it out :P10:44
Solarionone is more readily solvable by me than the other10:44
Solarionand if I get *one* more notificaton pop up and seize input, I'm gonna strangle it10:44
jlduggeryea, network manager isn't quite finished10:45
jlduggerreally hates suspend in edgy10:45
Solarionit's awesome, but it should go lower power.  :(10:45
jlduggerand the damn keyring10:45
SolarionI've not had much problem, save one weird case where it was eating cpu until the next suspend-resume10:46
Solarionyes, keyring is annoying10:46
jlduggermaybe it was hibernate, but it totally tanks on one of those10:46
SolarionI think I fixed it for me10:47
Solarioncan't find devices and stuff10:47
=== Solarion hasn't had a problem since
jlduggerwell, im one of those evil nvidia users, so it really doesn't matter too much whether suspend works or not10:47
Solarionheh10:48
Solarionyou're not evil10:48
Solariona fool, but not evil... ;)10:48
=== Solarion is a foolish ati user.
jlduggerhere's hoping neauvou works out10:48
Solarionyep10:48
jlduggerso you think that network manager is somehow setting your wifi signal strength too high? or just running too often?10:52
ajmitchmight be causing things to scan too often10:54
Solarionscan too often.  It'd be nice if it'd just power down a card if the other's being used.  It'd also be nice if g-p-m would set the cards to low-pwer mode.11:00
jlduggera card?11:01
Solarionyes11:01
jlduggerjust how many are in that laptop?11:01
Solarion211:01
Solarion1 builtin ipw2100, one pcmcia atheros11:02
