@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 > > Thank

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

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
