[Bug 1557026] Re: [SRU]Network Manager sets powersave off by default in xenial
If a user have a reasonable number of connections, they can edit settings per connection manually. Each connection has a config file in /etc/NetworkManager/system- connections/ They can add powersave=0 to the [wifi] section of each file. I did the reverse and had to add "powersave=1" before the fix of this bug.

Christopher, The problem is that there is no global setting for that. You can enable or disable PM in NM per connection. Global settings are possible if you are not using NM. A perfect solution is to make that setting in NM config.

[Bug 1557026] Re: [SRU]Network Manager sets powersave off by default in xenial
** Description changed: - Nwetwork Manager sets Power Management:off in iwconfig by default. + [Impact] + NetworkManager consumes more power than previous releases because powersave support is not updated. - It can be changed per connection by adding powersave=1. + [Test Case] + With the patch applied, network device power management should be on when supported, for example: - In 14.04 powersave was set on by default and could be disabled per connection. - That seemed to be reasonable. + $ sudo iwconfig wlan0 | grep "Power Management" + Power Management:on - If the default has been changed for some reason, it is better to make a NM global setting. - It is not handy to change every connection manually, and most users will not be able to do it. - - After upgrade to 16.04 power consumption will increase. - - It is also funny that pm-tools set powersave on, but NM reverts this - setting. - - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 - Package: network-manager 1.0.4-0ubuntu10 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-12.28-generic 4.4.4 - Uname: Linux 4.4.0-12-generic x86_64 - ApportVersion: 2.20-0ubuntu3 - Architecture: amd64 - CurrentDesktop: Unity - Date: Mon Mar 14 18:41:38 2016 - IfupdownConfig: - # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) - auto lo - iface lo inet loopback - InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-02-29 (13 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20160217.1) - IpRoute: - default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 proto static metric 600 - 169.254.0.0/16 dev wlan0 scope link metric 1000 - 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.125 metric 600 - NetworkManager.state: - [main] - NetworkingEnabled=true - WirelessEnabled=true - WWANEnabled=true - WimaxEnabled=true - SourcePackage: network-manager - UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-03-12 (1 days ago) - modified.conffile..etc.NetworkManager.NetworkManager.conf: [modified] - mtime.conffile..etc.NetworkManager.NetworkManager.conf: 2016-03-13T01:40:30.748775 - nmcli-dev: - DEVICE TYPE STATEDBUS-PATH CONNECTION CON-UUID CON-PATH - wlan0 wifi connected/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/1 Voxnet eafa9e18-fa85-4d9a-a705-6a3e97a45fbc /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/1 - eth0ethernet unavailable /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/2 -- ---- - lo loopback unmanaged/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/0 -- ---- - nmcli-nm: Error: command ['nmcli', '-f', 'all', 'nm'] failed with exit code 2: Error: Object 'nm' is unknown, try 'nmcli help'. + [Regression Potential] + Regression may happen when the power management feature of certain device isn't implemented properly in kernel, but since we are quite conservative on enabling power management in kernel development such case should be rare. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1557026 Title: [SRU]Network Manager sets powersave off by default in xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1557026/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
