Dear Sir/Madam,
I am trying to install powerTop on my PC as I need to know the per
process power consumption.
I have the Ubuntu 11.10 installed on my PC.
I installed the package available in Ubuntu Synaptic Package Manger
but the power consumption in watts is not displayed.
I get the message "no ACPI power usage estimate available".
Is there any configuration settings that I am missing ?
not all computers have a BIOS where the BIOS reports the battery
discharge rate to the operating system..... there's not a lot we can do
about that.
