A fortnight ago, my laptop started playing up. If the screen got switched off due to inactivity, on resume it just flashed black/white, the keyboard didn't work, and the only recourse was to power off. Also, in long zoom sessions, it started flipping in and out of battery mode, despite having the power brick plugged in. (Actually. that's the more annoying issue).
Looking at my logs, I see the following in tail /var/log/pm-powersave.log
| Code: | Start pm-powersave true at 2021-07-16 08:48:11+01:00
Start pm-powersave false at 2021-07-16 10:56:03+01:00
Start pm-powersave true at 2021-07-16 22:39:19+01:00
Start pm-powersave true at 2021-07-17 09:10:31+01:00
Start pm-powersave true at 2021-07-17 10:21:34+01:00
Start pm-powersave true at 2021-07-17 10:46:01+01:00
Start pm-powersave true at 2021-07-18 08:55:01+01:00
Start pm-powersave true at 2021-07-19 08:21:18+01:00
Start pm-powersave false at 2021-07-19 10:35:08+01:00
Start pm-powersave false at 2021-07-19 10:38:47+01:00 |
despite me having uninstalled pm-utils back in February (replaced with laptop-mode-tools).
Can anyone shed light on what might be going on - at least to what's issuing these pointless powersave calls? I can't find "pm-" in /etc/ ... apart from '/etc/local.d/pm-utils.start', which looks like unused cruft - though I''l remove it.
