which is the hungriest . I will also have as many as 4 pid’s running with only “nvidia-settings” and another pid that is “irq/79-nvidia.”
I have searched for all of these and so far there doesnt seem to be much info out there…
During this the machine is running on battery, no external monitor connected. I did a search both here and elsewhere on the PID 989 I listed above and so far have not been able to determine what it might be. In TLP settings I have things NVidia disabled on the PCIe buss to try to save power. If it is a help my objective is to try to minimize the impact on battery by cutting down on the hybrid video ability. I use this only when connected to the charger.
Any suggestions or ideas on what these various processes are would be appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks very much. Saw the Manjaro wiki but had not looked at the Arch. I run TLP. I have powertop but I dont run it as a service and do not use it to adjust machine parameters, only as a tool to see more inside of what goes on with the machine when its on battery. I was more curious about the processes I mentioned, whether anyone with similar experience had seen these before and might have further insight.
As a total aside here --on my Pavilion Gaming-- doing some writing, light browsing ( Firefox is a big battery pig, Palemoon seems better) e mail and some light photo processing I am getting between 5 and 7 hours on the battery, not bad for a gaming laptop…still unable to shut up the NVidia interrupts yet. Using TLP for system control and only running powertop as a program. not as a service, only to see whats using the battery. This is only my second Linux laptop experience and its totally different vs running Manjo on a desktop. Works great once one gets things dialed in.
