When running on AC, all is fine. When running on battery, weird things happen - parts of KDE don't start, e.g network manager - I can't activate or deactivate network interfaces. - KDE start overall is slow - certain programs don't start (or maybe they are _very_ slow?), including powertop or firefox - shutdown hangs and doesn't actually shut down. I have runlevels boot, default, sysinit, shutdown and nonetwork, so no separate runlevel for battery Trying to figure out what happens *looking for errors in /var/log/everything/current: Errors happening from time to time both on-battery and on-AC: Activated service 'net.hadess.PowerProfiles' failed: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 only happening while on battery: [NetworkManager] <warn> [1700069300.6561] sup-iface[d769b88a2afcac55,0,wlo1]: request-scan: could not get scan request result: Timeout was reached [dbus-daemon] [session uid=1000 pid=6501] Activated service 'org.kde.KSplash' failed: Process org.kde.KSplash exited with status 1 *looking at processes with ps: when powertop hangs (see above), ps shows the WCHAN status as "igc_re" I haven't figured out yet what that means - google doesn't know. *using strace for powertop - the trace when running on battery just ends somewhere halfway. I can't make more sense of it. So: - how can I find out what is going on - how do I fix this? Could this be some API or ABI change? Things to try tomorrow when I can have some system downtime: emerge --ask --oneshot --usepkg=n --verbose sys-devel/libtool I will also have a go at emerge --ask --emptytree --usepkg=n @world The one special thing on this machine is that I don't have swap space defined.

The igc driver is associated with Intel's 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet controllers but I don't really know what does re stands for. Do you actually have powerdevil installed?
(In reply to Marco Scardovi (scardracs) from comment #1) > The igc driver is associated with Intel's 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet controllers > but I don't really know what does re stands for. > > Do you actually have powerdevil installed? Latest version installed: 5.27.8 and it is doing things (probably while on AC, but I haven't double-checked that) e.g. [dbus-daemon] [system] Successfully activated service 'org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper' and a few more
Here is additional things I tried. - emerge --empty-tree didn't help. It didn't complain either. - Tried a @world update. The nvidia-driver package complained about missing /usr/src/linux/Module.symvers . I ran genkernel --menuconfig all, checked my apci options and generated the kernel fresh, but that did not regenerate the Module.symvers file. So I did a manual make && make modules_install making sure there was no .config mixups. - for some reason apcid wasn't started automatically anymore, so I added it to the default runlevel. All these combined seem to help. I will try this setup for a while and see if problems are actually solved.
Could it be the igc driver for the Intel I225-V Ethernet controller? rmmod igc seems to help
I think until something more concrete is nailed down, it's more of a support issue for IRC/the forums/mailing lists.
