[08:59] <devid> how can I best test the expected battery life, by live boot or by VM ?
[09:18] <diogenes_> devid, of course with bare metal live.
[09:19] <devid> diogenes_ all right thank you!
[13:34] <metbsd> laptop fail to wakeup from suspend
[13:35] <diogenes_> metbsd, usual problem
[13:36] <metbsd> any fix?
[13:54] <Maik> fail to wake from suspends is a well known issue on linux for many many years
[13:55] <Maik> metbsd: search for bug reports, there should be lots of them
[14:01] <blue__penquin> metbsd: It's generally an issue with the kernel or one of the drivers etc; fortunately mine works but it pretty much depends on a hardware-to-hardware basis. You might be interested in reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend if you are providing a bug report.
[23:26] <tomreyn> I disagree with "generally an issue with the kernel or one of the drivers". This could be so, but, personally I think that, most of the time, the root cause is the mainboard firmware ("BIOS") not supporting anything but Windows.
[23:41] <chaslinux> Running a bizarre board here, Atermiter X79 Turbo... There's not even a legit web site I can find for BIOS' ;-)
[23:43] <chaslinux> 21.04 had some cursor issues on it, but that was a nightly from awhile back....
[23:46] <tomreyn> chaslinux: are you trying to solve some problem?
[23:49] <chaslinux> Nope, 20.04 works well... I briefly tested an older spin of 21.04 and there were cursor issues, but I was just testing 21.04. Plan on sticking with LTS for awhile.
[23:49] <chaslinux> It's a strange motherboard, so happy to test different things.
[23:51] <tomreyn> it's a chinese brand, targetting the chinese market primarily
[23:56] <chaslinux> Yes, it was a cheap way of going from my sluggish A8-5600K (fake 4 core) to an E5-1650 (6 core). The board cost me around $80CDN and funny enough only took about 25 days from China with most of that being Canada Post (about 18 days).
[23:57] <chaslinux> It was a huge upgrade for encoding media... but I do envy those running 6 core + ryzen...
