[Dell XPS 9570] Idle temperature 20 °C higher on battery on Ubuntu 20.04 compared to 19.10 #488

Closed pflanzenandi closed 4 years ago

pflanzenandi commented 4 years ago

After reinstalling Ubuntu 20.04 I installed TLP and noticed that the temperature in idle mode is higher than on 19.10. For comparison I installed laptop-mode-tools to see if it is an Ubuntu problem. With laptop-mode-tools the temperature is on the same level as 19.10. If you need any outputs from me, I will be happy to add them.

Hi.

I'm afraid you'll have to find out yourself, because i don't have your hardware. Compare the kernel settings which TLP and LMT produce, i'd use Powertop's "Tunables" tab and look at the "bad" ones.

The required information and outputs are described in detail in the bug template, which you deliberately choose to ignore ...

linrunner commented 4 years ago

Btw: i would like to know the result in order to adjust TLP's defaults eventually.

pflanzenandi commented 4 years ago

tlp-stat-bat

The nvidia gpu is deactivated via nvidia drivers v. 440.

pflanzenandi commented 4 years ago

These settings, changed via powertop, seem to work fine. It also removed the bug where the fans are always on while charging.

linrunner commented 4 years ago

The usual suspect, Nvidia Optimus. I hope you have a little bit of time to get to the root of this.

/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/power/control = on (0x030200, 3D controller, no driver)

I wonder why Runtime PM is off (control=on). There is no driver loaded, this should rule out RUNTIME_PM_DRIVER_BLACKLIST as the cause. You didn't employ RUNTIME_PM_BLACKLIST on the device either.

My working hypothesis is, that the driver is unloaded somewhere during boot. Questions:

  1. Is the proprietary driver nvidia installed?
  2. Did you configure something like this (to prevent the driver from loading):

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf

blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
  1. Did you install some tool to switch the Nvidia discrete graphics off? Which one?
  2. Do you use the Nvidia at all (in Linux)?

ps. please never abbreviate the tlp-stat outputs. I'm missing version no. and the configuration.

pflanzenandi commented 4 years ago

updated-tlp-stat-bat

  1. Yes, the nvidia-driver-440 (proprietary, tested) ships with a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 installation. It is also activated automatically after first boot of Ubuntu.

  1. No, I haven't changed anything regarding GPU drivers. Just the fresh 20.04 installation. But I deactivated the nvidia gpu via X server settings. I also have no blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf in modprobe.d. I also checked all other existing blacklist configs and none of them has a nouveau value set.

Screenshot from 2020-05-10 12-20-04

  1. No, my set up is the default ubuntu 20.04.
  2. No, only the intel gpu.
linrunner commented 4 years ago

Well. Seems to be a logic included into the (Ubuntu) proprietary driver package.

  1. Please show in the actual state of things:

    cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

  2. Remove only the nvidia driver from the blacklist:

    RUNTIME_PM_DRIVER_BLACKLIST="amdgpu mei_me nouveau pcieport radeon"

  3. Reboot and show:

    tlp-stat -e cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

Sorry, I think this is the wrong file. I do not have /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch on my system.

linrunner commented 4 years ago

Configuration file for Laptop Mode Tools module vgaswitcheroo

That's obviously not the contents of /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch but something from LMT's configuration files.

Did you execute the 

cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch

command as root?

Also you didn't change TLP's configuration, because nvidia is still in the blacklist:

Driver blacklist = amdgpu mei_me nouveau nvidia pcieport radeon

Last but not least: did you boot on BAT? My impression was the first tlp-stat -e output you later changed was on AC.

pflanzenandi commented 4 years ago

Yes, I removed the blacklist entry: tlp-config

me@myself:~$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
[sudo] password for me: 
cat: /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch: No such file or directory
linrunner commented 4 years ago

Removing the whole line doesn't work at all, because the intrinsic default kicks in.

Anyway I don't want all drivers removed from the list at once. Just (re)enter the following line into tlp.conf:

 RUNTIME_PM_DRIVER_BLACKLIST="amdgpu mei_me nouveau pcieport radeon"

(In the original file the leading # has to be removed to activate the change)

pflanzenandi commented 4 years ago

Aye, I will change it later and update you.

linrunner commented 4 years ago

Take your time.

pflanzenandi commented 4 years ago

I removed the #, restarted and ran tlp-stat -e. But the output looks identical.

The temps are at 47 now on battery and idle, compared to 60 before. Tunables look like this:

Very well.

The "bad" for the "RuntimePM PCI Express Root Port #17" can be removed by un-blacklisting "pcieport" i.e. 

RUNTIME_PM_DRIVER_BLACKLIST="amdgpu mei_me radeon"

and "RuntimePM port ata 1 SATA AHCI Controller" is adressed by uncommenting the lines

AHCI_RUNTIME_PM_ON_AC=on
AHCI_RUNTIME_PM_ON_BAT=auto

Note the change of the 2nd line to "auto".

Activate the changes with

sudo tlp start

and show

sudo tlp-stat -s -d -e

Check with Powertop as well.

Note @self: remove nvidia nouveau from defaults.conf and add this case to the FAQ.

AHCI_RUNTIME_PM_ON_BAT=auto did not work.

linrunner commented 4 years ago

Correct, this will only work with 1.4: https://github.com/linrunner/TLP/commit/16c3fb5f616aaf088032d5238e6da5b01142df5a

I hope that the measures taken so far are sufficient for you.

Thanks for reporting this. Please leave the issue open.

This was fun, glad I could help.

@linrunner

How can I deactivate Runtime PM for PCI Device Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/E3-1500 v5/6th Gen Core Processor PCIe Controller (x16) on AC? It is only deactivated on BAT.

Because this runtime makes my fans spin contentiously while charging.

And the same question applies for RUNTIME_PM_DRIVER_BLACKLIST="amdgpu mei_me radeon"

linrunner commented 4 years ago

The blacklists do not allow differentiation between AC and BAT. But you may use

RUNTIME_PM_ON_AC=auto
pflanzenandi commented 4 years ago

This setting worked, but my fans are still spinning. I think it has to to with when tlp starts while booting. Fuck dell, never again :)

linrunner commented 4 years ago

There will always be users complaining about fans and for all laptop brands. But TLP is in the power saving business not in the fan control business ... ;)

pflanzenandi commented 4 years ago

Aye, keep up the good work!

linrunner commented 4 years ago

Blacklist adjusted, new settings to permanently enable/disable based on address, FAQ upgraded. I think that's enough for now :).
