I'm running Gutsy, but am using Debian's 2.6.22 kernel package. Ubuntu's 2.6.22 kernel is broken for Netgear MA401 PCMCIA wireless users. Debian's works fine.
Anyway, I have been toying around with Powertop, and noticed a large increase in battery life when I allowed it to apply its suggestions. However, some of them might not be worth the price. Googling around to find a way to make the applied suggestions permanent, I found a thread (http://lists.openwall.net/linux-kernel/2007/08/03/316) from Red Hat users that indicated that USB Autosuspend breaks a lot of printers because their drivers do not support it. They even gave a backhand compliment to the Ubuntu developers for not implementing it. Anyway, adding the line to my Grub config doesn't work, either, but maybe that's a good thing? -- Powertop suggest to add usbcore.autosuspend=1 to grub's kernel line, doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136549 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
