2010-07-12 14:37:13 Jerone Young description Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager Energy star is a standard backed by the US government to set standards for energy use of devices. The specification for Operating System settings can be found here: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=revisions.computer_spec Spec direct link (page 13): http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/prod_development/revisions/downloads/computer/Version5.0_Computer_Spec.pdf Also to better help understand Energy Star. The Open Suse team actually heavily looked into this, and have a great presentation here: http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/3/34/EnergyStar.pdf The reason you want to be Energy star compliant: - Many retailers will not sell machines that are not Energy Star compliant - Most Government agencies will not buy hardware solutions that are not Energy Star compliant - OEMs are now pushing heavily to have all hardware be Energy Star compliant - The OS software default settings are apart of the Energy Star compliance of machines There are only two default settings preventing Ubuntu from being energy star compliant: * Put display to Sleep within 15 minutes of user inactivity when on A/C - Currently this is set to 30 min. So setting it to 15 or below would fix this. * Activate computer's Sleep mode within 30 minutes of user inactivity when on A/C. - Currently this is set to never - It is also under stood that this could potentially have user experience impact If this is not completely possible (agreed) to do. OEMs whould like to have a Energy Star button in Gnome Power Management interface that would set settings to be energy star compliant.
