I get that, but lots of other stuff as well (powertop-2.8-2.fc24.x86_64 on an F25 system): [root@golem4 ~]# powertop -c modprobe cpufreq_stats failedLoaded 41 prior measurements RAPL device for cpu 0 RAPL Using PowerCap Sysfs : Domain Mask d RAPL device for cpu 0 RAPL Using PowerCap Sysfs : Domain Mask d RAPL device for cpu 0 RAPL Using PowerCap Sysfs : Domain Mask d Devfreq not enabled Starting PowerTOP power estimate calibration Calibrating idle System is not available unknown op '{' To show power estimates do 238 measurement(s) connected to battery only System is not available Calibrating: disk usage Calibrating backlight .... device /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness .... device /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness Calibrating idle System is not available System is not available Calibrating: CPU usage on 1 threads Calibrating: CPU usage on 4 threads Calibrating: CPU wakeup power consumption Calibrating: CPU wakeup power consumption Calibrating: CPU wakeup power consumption Calibrating USB devices .... device /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb3/power/control .... device /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1/power/control .... device /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/control .... device /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1.5/power/control .... device /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/power/control .... device /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb4/power/control .... device /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/power/control .... device /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1.4/power/control .... device /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1.6/power/control Calibrating radio devices .... device /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill4/soft .... device /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1/soft .... device /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill4/soft .... device /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1/soft Finishing PowerTOP power estimate calibration Parameters after calibration: Parameter state ---------------------------------- Value Name 0.50 alsa-codec-power (15) 0.00 backlight (4) 0.00 backlight-boost-100 (8) 0.00 backlight-boost-40 (6) 0.00 backlight-boost-80 (7) 0.00 backlight-power (5) 2.81 base power (89) 1.56 cpu-consumption (3) 39.50 cpu-wakeups (2) 0.00 disk-operations (91) 0.20 disk-operations-hard (90) 0.56 gpu-operations (18) 0.00 p4p1-link-100 (39) 0.00 p4p1-link-1000 (40) 0.00 p4p1-link-high (41) 0.00 p4p1-packets (42) 0.00 p4p1-powerunsave (38) 0.00 p4p1-up (37) 0.00 radio:hci0 (16) 0.00 radio:phy0 (17) 0.00 runtime-0000:00:00.0 (44) 0.00 runtime-0000:00:02.0 (48) 0.00 runtime-0000:00:16.0 (56) 0.00 runtime-0000:00:1a.0 (45) 0.00 runtime-0000:00:1b.0 (58) 0.00 runtime-0000:00:1c.0 (52) 0.00 runtime-0000:00:1c.2 (49) 0.00 runtime-0000:00:1c.4 (47) 0.00 runtime-0000:00:1c.5 (55) 0.00 runtime-0000:00:1d.0 (46) 0.00 runtime-0000:00:1f.0 (53) 0.00 runtime-0000:00:1f.2 (50) 0.00 runtime-0000:00:1f.3 (43) 0.00 runtime-0000:01:00.0 (57) 0.00 runtime-0000:02:00.0 (54) 0.00 runtime-0000:03:00.0 (51) 0.00 runtime-ACPI0003:00 (72) 0.00 runtime-Fixed MDIO bus.0 (75) 0.00 runtime-PNP0103:00 (59) 0.00 runtime-PNP0C04:00 (61) 0.00 runtime-PNP0C09:00 (69) 0.00 runtime-PNP0C0A:00 (70) 0.00 runtime-PNP0C0C:00 (76) 0.00 runtime-PNP0C0D:00 (68) 0.00 runtime-PNP0C0E:00 (60) 0.00 runtime-PNP0C14:00 (67) 0.00 runtime-PNP0C32:00 (71) 0.00 runtime-alarmtimer (65) 0.00 runtime-coretemp.0 (66) 0.00 runtime-dcdbas (78) 0.00 runtime-dell-laptop (63) 0.00 runtime-i2c-0 (86) 0.00 runtime-i2c-1 (82) 0.00 runtime-i2c-2 (85) 0.00 runtime-i2c-3 (81) 0.00 runtime-i2c-4 (84) 0.00 runtime-i2c-5 (88) 0.00 runtime-i2c-6 (83) 0.00 runtime-i2c-7 (87) 0.00 runtime-i8042 (79) 0.00 runtime-iTCO_wdt.0.auto (80) 0.00 runtime-microcode (64) 0.00 runtime-pcspkr (73) 0.00 runtime-regulatory.0 (62) 0.00 runtime-serial8250 (77) 0.00 runtime-vesa-framebuffer.0 (74) 0.10 usb-device-1bcf-2980 (13) 0.10 usb-device-1d6b-0002 (9) 0.10 usb-device-1d6b-0003 (12) 0.10 usb-device-8086-0189 (11) 0.10 usb-device-8087-0024 (10) 0.10 usb-device-8087-07d9 (14) 0.00 virbr0-link-100 (21) 0.00 virbr0-link-1000 (22) 0.00 virbr0-link-high (23) 0.00 virbr0-nic-link-100 (27) 0.00 virbr0-nic-link-1000 (28) 0.00 virbr0-nic-link-high (29) 0.00 virbr0-nic-packets (30) 0.00 virbr0-nic-powerunsave (26) 0.00 virbr0-nic-up (25) 0.00 virbr0-packets (24) 0.00 virbr0-powerunsave (20) 0.00 virbr0-up (19) 0.00 wlan0-link-100 (33) 0.00 wlan0-link-1000 (34) 0.00 wlan0-link-high (35) 0.00 wlan0-packets (36) 0.00 wlan0-powerunsave (32) 0.00 wlan0-up (31) 0.10 xwakes (92) Score: 0.0 ( 0.0) Guess: 2.8 Actual: 0.0 ---------------------------------- Then it goes into a "top"-like display.
