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 states: C1: type[C1] promotion[C2] demotion[--] latency[001] usage[ 00000010] duration[00000000000000000000] C2: type[C2] promotion[C3] demotion[C1] latency[001] usage[ 00019637] duration[00000000000320989970] *C3: type[C3] promotion[--] demotion[C2] latency[057] usage[ 00163901] duration[00000000005856338283] /home/exchange> cat dummy active state: C3 max_cstate: C8 bus master activity: 00000000 maximum allowed latency: 8000 usec states: C1: type[C1] promotion[C2] demotion[--] latency[001] usage[00000010] duration[00000000000000000000] C2: type[C2] promotion[C3] demotion[C1] latency[001] usage[00019637] duration[00000000000320989970] *C3: type[C3] promotion[--] demotion[C2] latency[057] usage[00163901] duration[00000000005856338283] Take care Dieter ******************************************************************************** PowerTOP version 1.6 (C) 2007 Intel Corporation Cn Verweildauer (5s) Mittlere Verweildauer C0 (Prozessor läuft) ( 2,9%) C1 0,0ms ( 0,0%) 0,0ms C2 5,3ms ( 1,5%) 5,3ms C3 6,0ms (95,6%) 6,0ms Aufwachen pro Sekunde : 162,4 Stromverbrauch (nach ACPI): 9,4W (3,3 Std.)
