Powertop - how to use
+
Powertop - Start automatically at boot time (Trisquel 7)
-
Now you can use this command to kill that noise:
- $ sudo powertop --auto-tune
-
-
You can also run it without parameters and then go into 'Tunables' and set everything to 'Good'
-
-
Note: On Trisquel 6, you will need to use a later powertop version from git. The one in the repositories is too old. See below:

-
Powertop - Start automatically at boot time (Trisquel 6)
-
-
Included with libreboot is a script called 'powertop.trisquel6'. Run this and it will setup powertop to run with --auto-tune
+
Included with libreboot is a script called 'powertop.trisquel7'. Run this as root and it will setup powertop to run with --auto-tune
at boot time. Load the file in your text editor to see how it does that.
-
$ ./powertop.trisquel6
-
-
For Trisquel 7 users:
-
$ ./powertop.trisquel7
+
$ sudo ./powertop.trisquel7
