I think this might just be indicative of the general poor quality of the 2.6.38 kernel when it comes to power management. I have just installed the 2.6.39 kernel from the kernel ppa and my laptop now idles at loadavg of around 0.1
This new kernel suffers from a significant increase in wakeups a second. Will file a separate bug against that though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787577 Title: Poor power management in Natty kernel -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
