Public bug reported: While trying to figure out why my laptop drive never gets fully to sleep when running on battery power I discovered that the ubuntuone sync daemon is appending to /home/$user/.cache/ubuntuone/log/syncdaemon.log IDLE messages EVERY two minutes.
This continued writing to the log file by the daemon stating that it is in an IDLE state actually makes the machine busy as it periodically has to flush this data out which means spinning an idle disk drive up to flush out the dirty pages. This wastes power. For IDLE messages, can we NOT write these messages out to the log 1. It is pointless debug 2. It makes the machine busy for no apparent benefit 3. It consumes power unnecessarily ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: ubuntuone-client 2.0.0-0ubuntu2.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-14.23-generic 3.0.9 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-14-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Dec 19 18:29:38 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: ubuntuone-client UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: ubuntuone-client (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug oneiric running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/906462 Title: ubuntuone sync daemon is writing IDLE messages to the log every 2 minutes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntuone-client/+bug/906462/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
