I have tested the following boot options adding "idle=halt" and "processor.max_cstate=1" or cstate=2, not adding all at the same time but one after the other. None of the options aren't fixing the wakeups on a Core 2 Duo (E6500) or on a Pentium D (both desktop PCs).
This is what is looks like in Powertop when scrolling a page in Firefox: Top causes for wakeups: 42,3% (115,9) [kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick This is what it looks like when idle: 8,2% (7,0) [kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick -- Tens of wakes per second in "[kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick" on Core 2 Duo even with only 1 core enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524281 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
