Re: [arch-general] no ACPI estimate in powertop with latest kernels
@clemens Thank you for pointing out my oversight. There is a patched powertop2 in the AUR with the correct URL in the PKGBUILD. -- Neal On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 2:59 PM, clemens fischer < ino-n...@spotteswoode.dnsalias.org> wrote: > On Tue-2011/10/11-13:06 Neal Haslam wrote: > > > @Tom > > Thankyou for pointing out powertop2.

On a related note - I also get this "no ACPI estimate" error, but only when my laptop is not on battery power. When unplugged, it gives estimates as desired. Anyone know why this would be? -- Scott Lawrence
Re: [arch-general] no ACPI estimate in powertop with latest kernels
@Tom Thankyou for pointing out powertop2. It allows for more control than the original powertop. The URL in the PKGBUILD is not correct because of kernel.org's changes. Googling for a new location was easy enough. @Mauro Thankyou for the information. -- Neal On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 12:20 AM, Tom Gundersen wrote: > On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 11:28 PM, Neal Haslam wrote: > > Powertop reports "no ACPI power usage estimate available" with x86_64 > > kernels 3.0.6-1 and 3.0.6-2. > > > > Downgrading to kernel 3.0.4-1 restored power estimates.

Have you tried with powertop2 instead? powetop is not maintained any longer, so we should probably get around to updating to powertop2 at some point... (I have been meaning to). -t

[arch-general] no ACPI estimate in powertop with latest kernels
Hello everyone, Powertop reports "no ACPI power usage estimate available" with x86_64 kernels 3.0.6-1 and 3.0.6-2. Downgrading to kernel 3.0.4-1 restored power estimates. Older kernels had always worked in the past. Processor is Intel i3, quad core, in a ThinkPad Edge 14 running Gnome 3.2 fully upgraded daily. -- Neal
