Description Adrian mohammed 2015-03-13 16:10:38 CET

Tuned is a fantastic software created by RHEL made to adapt to the usage of the OS. For instance you can choose from different profiles to dynamically increase system performance, server performance, and even to save laptop battery.
Currently I use it on my Asus 1005ha netbook and it makes a tremendous difference in extending my laptop battery. Where I would get 2 to 3 hours on my 9-cell, 7200mah battery on my Opensuse 13.2 KDE with laptop mode tools, powertop, pm-utils and acpid installed, I would now get 6-7 hours of constant use or 3-4 hours of video or on normal basic usage it last all day with tuned installed as well.
I think it is a necessary software for any laptop owner that likes their laptop to be portable and effecient. This is the primary reason why I would like it installed. If it is then I can install Mageia on my laptop and say goodbye to Opensuse.
However there are different profiles in tuned catered to servers, desktops, and much more. Tunes creates a better overall environment by making your system more effecient.
Powertop reports that on idle my system uses just under 6W of power on idle with wifi on. With wifi off, the system uses 5.56W of power. Another user, who has a Thjinkpad T430 reports a drop from 22W to 11W. I have writter an opensuse how-to guide here: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/505760-Improve-your-battery-life-helpful-tips-to-extend-battery-life!

Here is Red Hats webpage on it: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Power_Management_Guide/tuned-adm.html

Here is a video from Red Hat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGK9tpS2sVY

If you install tuned you will get a series of profiles. I am looking to install the laptop-battery-powersave profile. On some distros the tuned package is sufficent to acquire this profile. However in some distros you will need to install "tuned-compat" to get additional profiles. Also, it would useful to acquire the other tuned packages like "tuned-utils."

Thannk you,
Adrian

FWIW, I've removed the link to the OpenSuse package from the URL field, this was it: http://pkgs.org/opensuse-13.2/opensuse-oss/tuned-2.3.0-4.1.4.noarch.rpm.html
I've added the project page instead and adjusted the summary.


The Fedora package is probably better to use for importing to Mageia:
http://pkgs.org/fedora-rawhide/fedora-i386/tuned-2.4.1-3.fc22.noarch.rpm.html

The OpenMandriva package could also be used as a guide:
http://pkgs.org/openmandriva-cooker/openmandriva-main-release-i586/tuned-2.4.1-5-omv2015.0.noarch.rpm.html

Summary: Tuned is a dynamic daemon that tunes system settings dynamically. It does so by monitoring the usage of several system components periodically. Based on that information components will then be put into lower or higher power saving modes to adapt to the c => tuned - performs monitoring and adaptive configuration of the system

This is interesting. I' d like to see this package in Mageia too. Will create a package for local machine and see that if it is suitable for Mageia. If tests provides no regressions i can import and maintain it from Fedora package. Here is the Fedora package tree: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/tuned.git

Hi,

(Asking in several package requests at the same time:)

BugSquad has too few active members to take proper care of package requests, so we need to ask you to check some things yourself.

Please check in http://madb.mageia.org/ whether this package was already imported in cauldron, or whether there's another package with the same functionality that you can use.

If so, then please close this bug report, or, if the package isn't available in Mageia 5, change this report into a backport request.

If it is not available in cauldron, and there is no alternative that you can use, then please confirm that you still need this software.

Thanks,
Marja
