IBM T500 2241CC1 Ubuntu 14.04.4
I needed to install linrunner for battery conservation and it works wonders. But some of the activated settings have me stumped. I do not think my T500 has the Readeon card all I find with the lspci is the Intel card. Linrunner though has this running below. My question is why is this running if I have no RADEON graphics card? I have read and when over the settings and configuration manuals.
Code:
RADEON_POWER_PROFILE_ON_AC=high Before I edit the config file I would like to back it up but I been not using Linux for some time and I forgot the command for backing up config file before I editing. Thanks Dave |
dave8671,
You have an Intel graphics card. You say you have you looked at the TLP guide: http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-...anagement.html and the TLP FAQ: http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-faq.html Also this: http://www.webupd8.org/2015/02/advan...-tlp-sees.html You can keep a copy of the default tlp config file which is: Code:
/etc/default/tlp Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/default/tlp Code:
sudo tlp start |
I never got a additional drivers for the laptop In Kubuntu 14.04 so I am thinking it is not installed or failed to install. I know I have the Intel graphics. that is the reason I am wondering why the settings for the RADEON card is active? I know some of these laptop have ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650. But I do not think mind does.

Just wondering. What is the harm if you comment out the radeon lines?
Code:
#RADEON_POWER_PROFILE_ON_AC=high Quote:
for system info on my installations to make sure I know exactly what I have inside. For example. This IBM Z60 laptop. Code:
$ inxi -Fxz |
Here is me backing up /etc/issue
Code:
harry@biker:~ Edit: If not wishing to use inxi. Kubuntu should also include Code:
harry@biker:~ Code:
sudo lshw Code:
sudo apt-get install lshw |
See I knew there was a way to check the hardware but searches I did never gave me the above options. I will see if the commentingraphics the graphics causes any after effects. If so I will just uncomment them.
I am sorry to report I am windozed. |
I check the hardware with lshw it was always installed only Intel graphics card.
I typed Code:
cp /etc/default/tlp etc/default/tlp.bk ls give me the entire contents of /etc I do not see a default/tlp.bk not errors after the command but I tried to edit anyway and here is the issue. I can not save the file /default/tlp no permissions to save file. I typed Code:
sudo gedit /etc/default/tlp |
Here I am on my laptop here is the kate errors
Code:
main@ThinkPad-T500:~$ sudo kate /etc/default/tlp If I had to guess I am missing some configuration for permissions what I have no clue. |
IF I type
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/default/tlp Code:
main@ThinkPad-T500:~$ sudo gedit /etc/default/tlp I tried it again and gedit saved the file (why have have no clue) and I am in battery mode which I set as start charging at 20 percent but I do not think this works I plugged my power in and it started charging at 36 percent. There was the altra bay settings to but I left them commented out. |
For a few seconds days I left it running on battery and plugged in the power core at 36% charge it still had charging and did charge. I will comment out this,and not use it. I did comment Radeon settings and there seems to be a slightly more power drain than with them enabled. Hmm maybe this setting puts through graphics in a lower power stat regardeless of the graphics type. Meant to add that I had the setting to start charging at 25%.
|
Seems that now the battery is not changing or the laptop seems th Tlp did something so I disabled the battery charge thresholds. I turn it off see what happen in a few hours. it was stuck on 21 % charge and not moved in a hour.
Update I calibrated the battery to see if this will help which is in process now |
Everything is back to normal after calibrating the battery. I think the lesson here learned is best to leave the battery thresholds settings like they are commented out. Seeing that it cause my battery not to charge correctly or have the system think is was fully charged but it was not.
