Will the power regression problem be resolved?

Post by toresimonsen »

Now that the problem causing the power regression has been identified, will the power regression issue be addressed in the Mint Distro? Like the LTS version (Mint 9) or other?

A permanent solution to the problem will have to be from way upstream in the form of a kernel patch. This is not something the Mint team can control.

If you need relief now, a workaround has been published:

You can try it but there are , as always in Linux, no guarantees.

Okay.

Well I tried to upgrade the kernel to 2.39.2 with kernelcheck but it won't boot, so I can't try the fix. I'll just stick with the 2.32 version for now.
