This problem appeared in 2.6.32 Kernel. Beginning with 2.6.37 Kernel this is solved.
I observe increased battery life (+15-20%) in my old laptop. sudo powertop, agrees with this impression Ubuntu users can use this kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=M;O=D but they are going to loose some ubuntu specific customizations (ureadahead mainly) For Lucid there is a much better solution that i currently use. No side effects so far... https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=lucid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524281 Title: Tens of wakes per second in "[kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick" on Core 2 Duo even with only 1 core enabled _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
