I remember I read that article two days after the notebook had arrived. Its Linux support was really poor, even with it having Satux Linux (a really bad distribution). It had much more problems which quickly were corrected, but this one is one of the most persistent issues (tied with the wireless problem we're nearly solving).
>From what I researched back then ( >https://access.redhat.com/documentation/pt-br/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/power_management_guide/alpm > ), these SATA LPM options are changed by the following commands on this >notebook: echo 'min_power' > '/sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy' echo 'min_power' > '/sys/class/scsi_host/host1/link_power_management_policy' And they work. As the powertop proposed changes were effective back then to enable Package C3 and now Package C8, I've done a systemd service to enable them on boot. Only USB ports and the PCI Audio device aren't with its powersave modes, as setting them to save more power make problems start to appear. ** Attachment added: "econoenerg.service" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1686448/+attachment/5091424/+files/econoenerg.service -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1686448 Title: Unable to reach higher than package C2 state with Skylake processor Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello I have a Lenovo Ideapad 310 with a Intel Core i3-6100U. I have noticed its battery last less time on Xubuntu 16.04 than on Windows 10. I have searched on internet what could cause it, and found with powertop it can't reach states higher than package C state 2, while it could reach package C state 10. On this particular notebook model, I would expect the battery would last a bit more than 5 hours using only browser, as it happens with Windows 10 and CentOS 7. On Xubuntu, battery lasts slightly more than 4 hours. The best was 4h30min, so I am having at least 30 minutes less battery time, but generally it is one hour. I have tried to get support on Ubuntu Forums, here is the link of the thread: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2357271 As everything we tried had no success, I am making this report. As a reference, CentOS 7 functioned correctly and the battery lasted the same time than Windows 10, while Fedora 25 has this problem too.
