Package: powertop
Version: 2.13-1
Severity: important
Hi!
Today while upgrading powertop from 2.11-1 to 2.13-1 my mouse simply
stopped, because powertop was run at the upgrade process.
===
(…)
Configurando powertop (2.13-1) ...
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/powertop.service →
/lib/systemd/system/powertop.service.
(…)
===
Running "systemctl status powertop" I can see that in fact it did run:
===

And running "powertop" I can see that *everything* was enabled.
My mouse has issues¹ with powertop and I guess that some other people
might also have problematic hardware.
¹ if I enable "Autosuspend for USB device USB Optical Mouse [Logitech]"
(which was just automatically enabled by powertop), my mouse turns off.
Unless every tunable option is known to be safe, powertop shouldn't be
automatically enabled/run.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Nelson
