Re: [opensuse-mobile] Question on power consumption of zen-updater and opensuseupdater / kernel - powersaving options

Dear listmembers,
dear Thomas,
here comes the comment about zen-updater. It contributes by about 5% to the
wakeup events - though the power consumption is not high - I doubt that this
should be the case.
What is even more boring: you cannot end zen-updater, if you say "end" it
simply does not stop - it is like a barnacle that does not want to stop.
Opensuse-updater behaves similarly. And again, I can hardly see a need for a
software updater to generate so much noise ;-)
What regards the power state capability of my computer - lenovo X60 - see
below:
active state: C3
max_cstate: C8
bus master activity: 00000000
maximum allowed latency: 8000 usec
