Yes, that still happens in intrepid and actually powertop sometimes reports that gnome-power-manager does many wakeups. -- powertop suggests to remove g-p-m https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117745 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to

[Bug 117745] Re: powertop suggests to remove g-p-m

I see the same thing (Ubuntu 8.10, powertop 1.10-1, gnome-power-manager 2.24.0-0ubuntu8.1). You only see it if you follow up on the other suggestions powertop makes first. You can definitely see the issue. In powertop's stats, gnome-power- manager is responsible for ~20% of the wake-ups, second

[Bug 117745] Re: powertop suggests to remove g-p-m

While g-p-m was fixed, powertop still gives the recommendation to kill it once in a while. And if you do kill it, then the suspend/resume/reboot menu's go away. -- powertop suggests to remove g-p-m https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117745 You received this bug notification because you are a

[Bug 117745] Re: powertop suggests to remove g-p-m

It is useless to make a software to save power if it does not save power It does save power. The real problem was that DPMS does not give async events on chance, therefor we had to poll. Now the X guys are using xrandr for per-head DPMS we can do this without polling at all. Update g-p-m and

[Bug 117745] Re: powertop suggests to remove g-p-m

Stracing it, it looks like the main culprit is this (in gnome-power- manager-2.18.2/src/gpm-dpms.c): static void gpm_dpms_init (GpmDpms *dpms) { dpms-priv = GPM_DPMS_GET_PRIVATE (dpms); add_poll_timer (dpms, 500); } This wakes up the CPU twice a second to check the monitor's
