[14:35] <tec21> hello
[15:13] <tec21> anybody here?
[15:42] <tec21> maybe someone can answer this question: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2456693
[15:50] <meena> tec21: it tends to be fairly quiet here on weekends
[15:51] <meena> tec21: can you show your dpkg.log or apt log to see what else got auto removed?
[15:52] <tec21> need a minute...
[16:05] <tec21> Removing cloud-init (20.4.1-0ubuntu1~20.04.1) ...
[16:06] <tec21> Purging configuration files for cloud-init (20.4.1-0ubuntu1~20.04.1) ...
[16:06] <tec21> all the dependencies remain on the system...
[17:13] <meena> weird. cloud-init doesn't usually "run" so there's nothing to change, this is really odd
[17:17] <tec21> there has to be something it is doing to the system configuration which results in a lower power consumption. the big question is - what is it?
[17:21] <tec21> I have an other ubuntu 20.04 system (kubuntu) and will check if installing cloud-init on this system also lowers the idle power consumption
[17:55] <tec21> ok, no changes on the (k)ubuntu desktop installation/system. power consumption stays the same. it seems that it only affects the server installation or only certain hardware...
