Hi Colin. Was absent for a bit but have to come back here with some clearing. You said: "The [EMAIL PROTECTED] issue was in fact related to bug 177895, which turned out to be a few issues, one of which was Opera killing the laptop with excessive amounts of wakeups.. it's quite a drawn out saga."
It is not related. Not in a way you're writing here. Yep - my overloaded opera with milions of mails, usenet and rss news counted in tousands causes up to 8k wakeups per second (with 4000~8000 context switches / s). It is quite isolated issue and can be omitted. There is also another problem - massive amout of interrupts from nowhere. Maybe it's a bug in hardware/misonfigured or broken BIOS/ broken ACPI table / interrupt strom and many more. Problem was gone for about a month, but today it reappeared.. Without any couse i've got 40 thousand of wakeups. So.. this bug still exists in latest hardy kernel. * In logs opera is running in background (using it to write this comment) so 8k of cs is quite normal and not related to main issue 2.6.24-17-generic ** Attachment added: "powertop_bis.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14481499/powertop_bis.log -- Powertop reports huge number of wakeups and drains battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145377 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
