Thread: Karmic to Lucid = Less battery
i upgraded karmic lucid time ago , while i've been satisfied experience, battery life went down 7-9 hours way down 3-5 hours.
quite issue considering we're talking eeepc, supposed unplugged device.
suite of manually installed packages hasn't changed in substantial way , usage habits haven't either.
i've tried using powertop squeeze out more life out of battery (which pretty never did before) no big increases have been noticed.
if need data solve mystery, i'll provide possible.
it might cpu scaling bug. people including myself have problems cpu being stuck on performance instead of ondemand. have manually change scaling mode using gnome cpu scaling frequency monitor.
other problem ran ubuntuone wasting cpu cycles , eating memory though never used it. uninstalling solved problem.
