** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager Ubuntu release: 9.04 gnome-power-manager version: 2.24.2-2ubuntu8 Hardware: Dell Latitude C400 Expected behavior: Temperature and performance will remain about the same on AC and battery. Actual behavior: On battery, temperature spikes from c. 40 degrees centigrade to c. 70 and rising. top shows gnome-power-manager using between 50% and 90% CPU. Killing gnome-power-manager, while removing the helpful battery applet, instantly causes temperature to start falling. I've only had a battery with a life of more than a minute for a couple of weeks; I don't think this behavior occurred before I upgraded to Jaunty. Following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager , output of gnome-power-bugreport, lshal -m, and dbus-monitor are attached. (In a tarball, since I can't attach more than one file at once.) + + A potentially-related item: pm-suspend appears not to work for me (they + leave the the screen powered off on resume even when I give it the + relevant quirk option), and after that pm-hibernate sometimes just + doesn't work, so I use s2ram and s2disk to suspend and hibernate. I + first noticed this problem after resuming from a sleep or hibernate + using those tools. -- gnome-power-manager causes temperature to spike on battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373761 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
