Thanks madbiologist for your answer. It's Intel i7 2620M. It has an AMD Radeon HD 6630M switchable graphics chip but I turned it off by following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1752202 More specifically http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=cf99e4261d426e3add7cb3413d0fd8f1&p=10832728&postcount=7 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10803370&postcount=27
I tested with Oneiric and its latest kernel but it didn't work. With Oneiric, it seems to drain the battery even faster. I only tested it with Live USB but updated it to get the latest kernel and other software packages. For now, I've completely got rid of Ubuntu and am using Windows 7 which I really didn't want. On Windows 7, I have about 5+ hour battery life whereas with Natty, it's about 2 hours (with Oneiric, it seems shorter). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760131 Title: Power consumption raised significantly in natty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/760131/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
