I remember I read that article two days after the notebook had arrived. Its Linux support was really poor, even with it having Satux Linux (a really bad distribution). It had much more problems which quickly were corrected, but this one is one of the most persistent issues (tied with the wireless problem we're nearly solving).
>From what I researched back then ( >https://access.redhat.com/documentation/pt-br/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/power_management_guide/alpm > ), these SATA LPM options are changed by the following commands on this >notebook: echo 'min_power' > '/sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy' echo 'min_power' > '/sys/class/scsi_host/host1/link_power_management_policy' And they work. As the powertop proposed changes were effective back then to enable Package C3 and now Package C8, I've done a systemd service to enable them on boot. Only USB ports and the PCI Audio device aren't with its powersave modes, as setting them to save more power make problems start to appear. ** Attachment added: "econoenerg.service" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1686448/+attachment/5091424/+files/econoenerg.service -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1686448 Title: Unable to reach higher than package C2 state with Skylake processor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1686448/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
