Hi,

the proper procedure to remove thresholds is in the FAQ --> http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-faq.html#how-to-disable-thresholds

If you want to keep only the upper threshold, just...

1) There can only be one, so don't use two tools for the same thing at the same time.
Powertop isn't a power management tool so the former doesn't apply to it -> refer to the TLP FAQ

2) Try...

Hi,

the behaviour of discharging the ultrabay battery first and down to 0% is a well known and often critizised ThinkPad feature. Afaik the only way to change this is to use some kind of...

Hi,

you may want to read the TLP FAQ.

Hi,

1) Don't do this.

You may change one of TLP's settings
RUNTIME_PM_ALL=1 This isn't enabled by default because some hardware exposes shutdown/reboot problems with it.

After that you...

Hi,

please show the complete output of

sudo tlp-stat
Once on battery and once on ac.

I reckon you used the package from my PPA or a similar workaround in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ to enable the trackpoint?

Unfortunately the workaround results in trackpoint and touchpad being...

Changing the config is only necessary if you want to switch radio devices (wifi, bluetooth, wwan).

ps. sudo tlp start is not needed after the first reboot.

You may want to check your hard drive's health.

Install smartmontools

sudo apt-get install smartmontools

And show the output from

sudo smartctl -A /dev/sda

Hi,

is there a difference in performance/hdd speed between ac and battery power?

Hi!


sudo tlp fullcharge
is what you're looking for.

See the manual too: http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-linux-advanced-power-management.html#commands

Hi,

you blame the wrong people. Nvidia and their reluctance to support Linux properly – especially Optimus – are at the core of the problem.

My Intel-only ThinkPads work well with digitally...

Unfortunately, this is not possible.

Fine, i see no further power optimizations.

Some final remarks concerning your TLP settings:



DEVICES_TO_ENABLE_ON_STARTUP="wifi wwan"
DEVICES_TO_ENABLE_ON_RADIOSW="wifi wwan"
=> not...

Your model 2392-4BU has in fact Optimus graphics. Which of the above mentioned BIOS settings – Integrated / Discrete / Optimus – do you use?

@amdemas: show me

sudo tlp-stat
and we shall see about further optimizations.

If your T530 happens to have Optimus Hybrid Graphics (no good choice for Linux) then you may try one of akulbe's...

Hi!

1) There is no Fn+F6 functionality in Linux, just start Cheese or Skype to use the cam.
2) I have caps lock disabled ...

Hi,

1) The mute button works, you mean the mic mute button – see http://askubuntu.com/questions/125367/enabling-mic-mute-button-and-light-on-lenovo-thinkpads (led needs patched kernel)
2) Try the...

Then I'm out of advice ...

I would give Xubuntu (or Ubuntu) 12.04.1 a last try – .1 because it still uses the "old" 3.2 kernel.

You still didn't answer my question about the Ubuntu version: 12.04, 12.10, 13.04, ...?

When ACPI reports zero for all values, something goes wrong between ACPI BIOS and the kernel. Hence my suggestion to update the BIOS (always a bit thrilling ...).

Which version of Ubuntu do you...

Hi,

i would definitely try a BIOS update first.

No need to say "sorry" :D.

Suspend/resume problems are notoriously hard to isolate and fix. Because of the black screen upon resume i guess fglrx is the main suspect here. The tlp-stat output...

Hi,

the official way to file a bug report against TLP is now mentioned in the documentation: Issue Tracker.

Anyway, i found your post here. Does the suspend problem occur on ac and battery...
