Battery Annuciator in Linux 17.3 Cinnamon Panel

Generally, the right-hand corner of the bottom panel looks like this: Normal Panel.png But occasionally, this area includes a battery annunciator. When I hover over the battery, a "Using Battery Power" tag appears. It is as if Linux thinks Airtop is a laptop. A reboot generally clears the battery ic...

Re: Fitlet iA10 Current and Power Levels

Hi IntensePC_User, Hmmm - this deserves a bit of attention. My thoughts are: 1. My graphical power levels were obtained by logging current and multiplying those values by an assumed 12 VDC. In actuality, the supply voltage runs closer to 13.9 VDC, so my graphical power values are probably around 86%...

Re: Reducing Power Consumption

The system idle power levels you are seeing are consistent with the idle power levels I measured some time ago when running Linux Mint. See http://www.fit-pc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=153&t=5843 One thing you may try is to enter the BIOS settings and lower the TDP below the default 4500 mW level. Of...

Re: Power over ethernet ( POE ) option?

IEEE POE works fine with fitlet IA10 - in a headless configuration. Powering both fitlet and a monitor might be a bit challenging - even for the IEEE POE+ standard. A low power monitor would be a must. Non-IEEE POE = ? The manufacurer's test sheet for your Netonix switch indicates POE+ capability, b...

Re: Mint Mini How to-> Headless? VPN Only?
