Reproes with the v4.14 kernel. Power usage on idle is 4.14:~8W 4.13:~10W 4.10:~7W
There appears to have been a significant regression in power use from 4.10 to 4.13 that has been partially addressed in 4.14. I got curious, and I get the same 100% busy report if I boot with the legacy 4.10.37 kernel now (whereas I did not before), so this might be an issue with powertop as upgraded with 17.10 and the bt driver might be a red herring. Is there a more reliable way to measure power usage? ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1723777 Title: Apple bluetooth USB driver is 100% busy despite BT switched off To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1723777/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
