▲ PowerTOP 的起始画面。

开始前请先安装 powertop。# Debian, Ubuntu

$ sudo aptitude install powertop

# CentOS, RHEL, Fedora

$ sudo yum install powertop

# Arch Linux

$ sudo pacman -S powertop

请使用 Tab, Shift + Tab 或方向键 ←, → 切换至 Tunables 分页 ↑, ↓ 上下移动，于欲调校的项目按下 Enter 进行调校，当所有状态显示为 Good 后即可按下 q 离开。

▲ 调校前的 Tunables。

▲ 调校后的 Tunables。

PowerTOP 本身并无储存功能，但我们可以借由 powertop '--html' 产生的报告来调校系统，甚至于开机时载入这些设定。$ sudo powertop --html

Loaded 58 prior measurements

Cannot load from file /var/cache/powertop/saved_parameters.powertop

▲ 此报告将依个人环境而有所不同，其各项目的详细说明可参考 Power saving - ArchWiki 一文。

给予执行权限。$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/powersave

因调校指令皆需管理者权限才可执行，若想省下打密码的功夫可参考 Firestarter 开机不用再次输入密码 一文修改。$ sudo visudo

......

jonny ALL= NOPASSWD:/usr/local/bin/powersave

现在开机时只需使用 sudo powersave 即可手动切换至省电模式。

※ 注：请依个人需求自行调整，若造成系统不稳还请自行斟酌。
