Ahsaniqbalkmc 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2012 I have been trying to move to Ubuntu from microsoft windows 7 but there are a few glitches that are restricting me to do so. One of the most important one is power consumption. As I have mentioned in another thread, I have experienced that ubuntu lasts for about half the time windows 7 lasts and this is a huge issue for me as I face lots of power failures.With ubuntu 11.10, I have used laptop-mode-tools with some success but I haven't been able to make them work with ubuntu 12.04.So anyone knows about some power saver tools or configurations that would make my ubunutu last longer on battery power.?
