17.1 battery life

[Guillaume]

Hi

I use the pro at home and the core for work.

I do the upgrade from 16 to 17.1 on my Lenovo P14s (work computer) and since the computer's fan turn everytime, loudly and extract very hot air. Before it's not the cas. And the worst is the battery life. Before it's not like with Windows (dual-boot) but it's was correct. Now I can use the laptop one hour max.

As you can see I have a CPU to 100%

Sometime it's CPU 6 or 8 or 5. But now I do nothing. This computer are amazing but why a CPU to 100%. I just do a post on Zorin forum now...

Do you have any idea of one solution or I have to format and reinstall the 16 ?

Thank to all.

Did you control the ''Process'' Tab if there are any Programs that could be responsible?

[Guillaume]

Yes, but... no. Nothing strange.

[Aravisian]

What is your output for

uname -r

and what is the make and model of the notebook computer?

[Guillaume]

Hi, Aravisian,

6.5.0-25-generic

Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 3
32,0 Gio
12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1280P × 20
NVIDIA Corporation / Mesa Intel® Graphics (ADL GT2)

I hope it's helpfull.

[Aravisian]

Can you please try upghrading to the 6.7 kernel and testing it (Secure Boot may need to be disabled in BIOS EFI settings):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxinvader/jammy-mainline

sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-generic-6.07

Reboot and test...

[Guillaume]

Hi,

I add the first one wihtout problem but the second one have some error at for some package ''not installable''

But for now It's still the same after reboot. 30 min work and 30% battery out... And I just do mail via Ferdium. Before the upgrade it's not like this at all.

Just in case, since the upgrade I have this message with the session opening :

A falure to update some package... Maby it's help.

Thank again and have a nice day.

[Guillaume]

It's so strange. Before this upgrade the battery was full in 1hour max, now it's 2 or 3 needed and we never had 100% only 99%.

If I don't have solution this week end I format to but another distro for testing.

[Hackgets]

Did you upgrade from 16 to 17 with Zorin Upgrader? That may be the cause.

[Aravisian]

@Hackgets

Did you upgrade from 16 to 17 with Zorin Upgrader? That may be the cause.

Agreed, Package failing to update and the kernel claiming to be uninstallable...
@Guillaume, please check your sources:

Handling your sources

Your sources in Linux are the repositories you have access to that can provide your apt tool access to APT packages. For those migrating from Windows to Linux, this can be new and confusing information as MS Windows does not have sources. Linux is, by nature, more secure. Sources on Linux ensure more vetted packages, allowing greater security since these must be Signed and run through lintian prior to being accepted into a vetted repository (Like Launchpad.) Sometimes, sources can be a source…

The upgrader may have left some Focal Sources listed.

[Guillaume]

Okay strange...

I send you the source list but yes I do via the GUI and not via cmd.

@Guillaume

zorinos-ubuntu-apps-focal.list.save

This one specifically says Focal

@Guillaume

surfshark.list
google-chrome.list
oem-sutton.simon-abdukrahman-meta.list
onedrive.list

These may say Focal, still and the only way to know is to open the file and check.
You can elevate to Root:

sudo -i

Launch the GUI file manager from your elevated Root prompt:

nautilus

Navigate to Other Locations > Computer > /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder and right click each file and check the name and contents, looking for Focal being present instead of Jammy.

You can see how this could be a problem since having two different sources with different dependencies can create conflicts or package deference.

@Aravisian

This one specifically says Focal

It is not the only One. There are two Others:

@Guillaume

zorinos-ubuntu-drivers-focal.list.save

@Guillaume

zorinos-ubuntu-stable-focal.list.save

[Aravisian]

Yes, even though they are backup files, it shows a possible discrepancy.

[Guillaume]

Hi, thank for all your message.

So I change in every file ''jammy'' by ''focal''

When I try to update I get this :

But after a reboot it's different:

And when I do upgrade nothing change.

I still have this at startup and the fan very high everytime.

Maby I dont change correctly every list ?

Thank again.

[How To] Manage software sources after using Zorin Upgrader

A few users have run into an issue where not all sources are updated in their sources to the correct repository after running the Zorin Upgrader. I would like to post a means of quickly addressing this for users. Perform these steps after you have run the Zorin Upgrader and rebooted. First, create backups of your essential files: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup sudo cp -r /etc/apt/sources.list.d /etc/apt/sources.list.d.backup Certain Manually installed reposi…

The "Could not get a lock /var..." warning only means that you have another package manager open when you tried running the command in terminal. Package management only allows one lock at a time. Closing out the other manager is all that is needed to resolve that.

Number 8 the TuxInvader Repo is still focal. Number 12, 14, 15 and 16 too.
