Asus ZenBook 13 (UX331UN) with Ubuntu: Battery drain while in suspend

Veröffentlicht von Florian Panzer am 21. August 2018

When i got my shiny new ZenBook 13 UX331UN in July, i immediately wiped it and installed Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver).

But I soon realized something was wrong with suspend: The laptop would go to sleep and over night the battery would either almost (10-ish percent) or completely drain, leaving the laptop completely powered off.

On other laptops the suspend state would eat about 5% charge per day, leaving you able to suspend around 3 weeks in theory, but something was using the battery in suspend here.

Here’s the problem analysis:

Suspend your laptop. Wake it up again. Now check the output of

sudo journalctl | grep „PM: suspend“ | tail -2

May 13 18:41:00 mex kernel: PM: suspend entry (s2idle)
May 13 20:52:36 mex kernel: PM: suspend exit

If you end up with 

Your laptop is only entering „s2idle“ sleep (which is basicallynot saving much more than with blanking out screen and disabling the network). What we really want instead is the „deep“ sleep.

You can also check

cat /sys/power/mem_sleep

which yields

[ s2idle] deep

meaning the s2idle state is active in standby, because it’s written in brackets.

The permanent fix:

Edit your grub bootloader config to add a parameter to your Linux kernel when it boots. Type

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

and replace the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash“ with

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash mem_sleep_default=deep“

Save the file and exit. Now run

sudo update-grub && sudo reboot

To apply the changes and reboot. Test. Done.

IMPORTANT: If you now have troble waking your laptop up, DO NOT USE THE NVIDIA DRIVERS. They suck. Use noveau.

EDIT: The above works and is tested, but i now have the problem that the laptop won’t resume when on battery. When it’s on power supply it can resume. Any ideas!?

Proxmox: “ perl: warning: Setting locale failed.“

Veröffentlicht von Florian Panzer am 13. Juli 2018

If you run Proxmox and run into

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = „en_US.utf8“
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale („C“).

here’s your solution:

export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
dpkg-reconfigure locales -u

Spacewalk Client for Ubuntu 18.04 / bionic

Veröffentlicht von Florian Panzer am 2. Mai 2018

You have to roll your own:

for shizzle in \
bionic/apt-spacewalk \
bionic/python-ethtool \
bionic/rhn-client-tools \
bionic/rhnlib \
bionic/rhnsd \
; do
cd $shizzle && debuild -uc -us ; \
cd ../../
done

I uploaded some binary packages (.deb) which work for me ™:

spacewalk-client-bionic.zip

(This was originally uploaded for https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2018-May/msg00009.html )

EDIT: If you are missing dependencies, use packages from artful
