Bug Description
I noticed that the power consumption, as reported in
/proc/acpi/
gets higher when I resume my laptop from suspend to RAM. I strongly suspect that this is related to a bug in vgaswitcheroo or the radeon driver, since the power used after resume is consistent with the power used when the discrete video card is not off.
Before resume I made sure the discrete card was off by using
sudo bash -c "echo OFF > /sys/kernel/
At resume, with high power consumption, the state is reported as expected:
sudo cat /sys/kernel/
0:IGD:+
1:DIS: :Off:0000:01:00.0
Still, if I run:
sudo bash -c "echo ON > /sys/kernel/
sudo bash -c "echo OFF > /sys/kernel/
Now the power consumption goes down to the expected level.

Alessandro Pignotti, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. As well, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested.
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel- fixed-upstream' .
If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel- bug-exists- upstream' .
If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel- unable- to-test- upstream' , and comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it.
Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.
