Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated powertop package that fixes a bug and adds an enhancement is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
PowerTOP is a tool to detect all the software components that make a computer
consume more than necessary power when idle.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, PowerTOP could not run processes without a valid terminal. This
update backports the TTY handling from powertop 1.13. Now, PowerTOP runs without
a terminal in dump mode. (BZ#628514)
This update also adds the following enhancement:
- Previously, PowerTOP could not detect whether hardware used the Intel Turbo
Boost functionality. This update adds support for Intel Dynamic Acceleration
(IDA) and Intel Turbo Boost. (BZ#610464)
All PowerTOP users are advised to upgrade to this updated package which fixes
this bug and adds this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
