Is there a good simple way of monitoring power consumption in desktops/servers? Powertop does not show consumption unless a battery is discharging but I am interested in seeing if this bug occurs in non-laptop hardware
I use a "Save-a-watt" device that plugs in between the power code and the power plug and it shows the power being used by the system. But it's pretty "crude". In order to do real power testing, you need a fancy scope and a bunch of wires on the battery of a laptop to really determine exactly how much power is being drawn by the system as powertop lies a lot when you are trying to tune things down to the sub-watt level. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
