Is someone by accident using a xps 9560 running Linux?

[dewildte]

How do you do that by accident?

[Paul Woitaschek]

I'm not a native speaker, ignore the by accident

[dewildte]

Or you could just edit your comment to not have it there at all?

[Paul Woitaschek]

No I can't edit it

[Paul Woitaschek]

No I can't

[Paul Woitaschek]

I think there is some channel restriction preventing edits after some time

[dewildte]

Agreed, sorry I forgot about that.

[cedric]

Should have been "by any chance" 🙂

[Paul Woitaschek]

I'll add that to my Wortschatz, thx :)

I have the 9360, not exactly the same but I might be able to help

[Paul Woitaschek]

What cpu scheduler are you using?

[Paul Woitaschek]

cpupower frequency-info

[fred.deschenes]

~ ➜ cpupower frequency-info                                                        
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: intel_pstate
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
  maximum transition latency:  Cannot determine or is not supported.
  hardware limits: 400 MHz - 3.50 GHz
  available cpufreq governors: performance powersave
  current policy: frequency should be within 400 MHz and 3.50 GHz.
                  The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
  current CPU frequency: 3.21 GHz (asserted by call to kernel)
  boost state support:
    Supported: yes
    Active: yes

[Paul Woitaschek]

And you have a decent performance? On my 9560 my clean build went from 12 minutes to 55 seconds by changing the governor from powersafe to performance.

[tapchicoma]

usually "performance" profile should be used, when laptop is connected to power

[fred.deschenes]

eh I get ok-ish perf, I need to completely wipe and and re-install soon anyway so I'll look into this
