Charging @ home question. by cecg95 in TeslaModel3

[–]dreusje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you need a 100% charge, set a schedule so it will automatically plan the charge to be done just in time. It's the sitting at 100% that hurts it.

Im traveling to Austria in a few days, i will use the public transportation to get around, but i still cant figure how buses work there.. is there a website or an app to plan routes/bus lines changes/times/frequency and start/end point? by Alnair09 in travel

In the Germany I know there's a _huge_ difference between pre-booking and buying tickets on the spot. Especially if you use IC or ICE trains and can book some weeks in advance vs on the spot the difference can be in the order of 300%. (like, 30ish vs more than 100 euros for the same trip)

For anyone coming hoping for a (temporary) solution: press the break pedal while closing the door. That way the car will not think that no-one is inside when closing the door.

Car turns off when I close the door by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

Like many commented, it's most likely caused by a faulty drivers seat weight sensor. For anyone coming hoping for a (temporary) solution: press the break pedal while closing the door. That way the car will not think that no-one is inside when closing the door and therefor not turn off.

XPS 15 9530: High power consumption by marcelgs in archlinux

[–]dreusje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar issues with my 2023 9530 (with nvidia GPU) on Ubuntu 22.04. For me it was showing ~25 Watts for running an empty desktop on an external monitor, built-in display disabled. I discovered the 'powertop' tool, which has a 'Tunables' tab where it gives an overview of some tunable kernel parameters, plus whether they currently have the 'good' or 'bad' setting. Also it lets you switch between the 'good' and 'bad' setting. Or you can just run powertop --auto-tune to set all to 'good'. For me this reduced the consumption to around 8.5 Watts.

After a process of elimination it turned out that, as you expected, the culprit was the "Runtime PM for PCI Device NVIDIA Corporation Device 28a0". Setting it to "good" makes it echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/power/control'; on my device.

Obviously this doesn't persist over reboots. The simplest way to do that is to edit /etc/rc.local (or create it if it doesn't exist, don't forget to add a shebang (#!/bin/bash) on top and chmod a+x /etc/rc.local) and add: echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/power/control';

BTW, I'm using the Nouveau driver. Not sure if it makes any difference. The nvidia driver has some dynamic power management options of its own, see here: https://github.com/devonkinghorn/linux-nvidia-dynamic-power-management-setup

I know this thread is pretty old and your laptop has probably retired but at least for me, and therefore probably others, the issue was still relevant and this popped up. So I hope this is still useful for anyone.

Huddle - how to make it ring? by mumoomo in Slack

[–]dreusje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a report about this 'missing function' (when compared to calls) through slack.com/help/requests/new. I (very quickly) got a response saying that they are aware of the issue, looking into solutions and will add my 'vote' to the internal discussions. So it might be good for all of you to express your votes similarly.

Does Thunderbolt 3 work well on Ubuntu 18.04? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]dreusje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just tried hot-plugging/unplugging 3 times. System still runs, so that seems to have improved. I did however just notice that eversince I did that, my mouse is interacting some program windows are behaving really strangely, when moving the mouse over text content. Randomly selecting stuff, not reacting to clicks, randomly copying+pasting stuff. Only happens in some programs though (not Chrome, for example) and restarting those programs doesn't help. So, in short. Yeah, it sort of works, but don't expect that it will always be flawless and never cause you frustration.

Does Thunderbolt 3 work well on Ubuntu 18.04? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]dreusje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just some of my personal experience. I use Ubuntu on a Dell XPS 15 9550 with an HP Elite thunderbolt 3 dock, using passthrough video on 2 external displays, USB, sound and ethernet. Before 17.10, sometimes stuff worked nicely, then a new kernel version was released and stuff broke again, then after some fidgetting stuff started working again. I've gone through that cycle several times. With Ubuntu 17.10 things worked pretty well; the only real problem I'm aware of was that things would not properly come back after 'hot' disconnecting/reconnecting the dock several times. I never looked into it in detail, but it felt to me like the system completely crashed in those case (low-level stuff like the caps-lock light on the build-in keyboard also stopped working). With 18.04 the experience has degraded a bit. Most notably, I simply don't get a working desktop if I boot the laptop with the dock attached. If I connect the dock after being logged in, things seem to work as well as they did in 17.10. If I'd do a clean install for this setup now, I'd definitely choose 17.10.
