Thanks. Although gnome-shell, snapd and deja-dup-monitor are the top users for the previous 60 seconds, it also shows that snapd has used an accumulated 4m40s which is way above everything else.
Given your uptime is 5h34m then that means snapd has used an average of over 1% of your CPU for that entire uptime. So I think snapd is the next thing to look at. Please try disabling snapd for a while: sudo systemctl stop snapd.socket sudo systemctl stop snapd.service Again leave the desktop idle, and tell us if that has improved the power use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795342 Title: High Power Consumption Status in The Ubuntu Power Consumption Project: Incomplete Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, I am running Ubuntu on Thinkpad. I am facing battery back up issues on both 18.04 and 18.10 versions. Before that I was running Ubuntu 16.04 with a normal back of almost 4 hours ( 2 Sony Batteries with normal back up of up to min of 6 hours on Linux Mint 19) and when upgrading to 18.04 it reduced to 3 hours max on normal usage and less than 2 hours on heavy use. I tried installing Unity session on 18.04/10, the back up increased. I think it is Gnome doing the mess. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu13.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DisplayManager: gdm3 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.10 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-12-02 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish" - Release amd64 (20181017.3) Package: gnome-shell 3.30.1-2ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.18.0-11.12-generic 4.18.12 Tags: cosmic Uname: Linux 4.18.0-11-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-consumption/+bug/1795342/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
