Stilll seeing bogus wattage reported to USB devices
by Marc MERLIN
With powertop 2.5, see these 3 report taken a minute apart with no
change of load.
All I did was remove the yubikey and put it back in, and unload wlan0
> Yubikey was showing 6W, so I removed it. that didn't change the discharge rate:
The battery reports a discharge rate of 19.9 W
The estimated remaining time is 3 hours, 23 minutes

No real change either (little drop from removing wireless, but not 10W)
The battery reports a discharge rate of 17.8 W
The estimated remaining time is 3 hours, 43 minutes

> Yubikye is said to take 6W again, really? I know that's a lie. I removed
and power went up 0.4W (normal variance unrelated to yubikey).
The battery reports a discharge rate of 18.2 W
The estimated remaining time is 3 hours, 38 minutes

Is anyone closer to fixing this bug? It's impossible to get real battery
usage and due tuning with it present.
Thanks

powertop putting far too much blame on wifi
by Peter F. Patel-Schneider
Hi:
I just got a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, and I'mrunning Fedora 20 on it.
I'm trying to get power usage down with powertop, but it is producing some
screwy numbers. When I run the machine with wifi on, I get idle consumption
just under 7.2W but almost 5W of that is assigned to the WiFi interface, even
though there is little traffic. When I turn the wifi off, power consumption
only drops to just under 7W. I don't think that there is a phantom WiFi that
is still consuming power, so it appears to me that powertop is assigning too
much blame to the WiFi interface.
Is there away of fixing the assignment of blame here?
peter
PS: Here are truncated typical powertop outputs, first with wifi on and then
with wifi off.
