I just installed Ubuntu on my HP Pavilion dv6-6c50ca, and I noticed that every time that I start my laptop with Ubuntu the fan runs really fast and the laptop produces a lot of heat. When I run windows on it, the battery life lasts for 4 hours but when I run Ubuntu, it barely lasts for an hour and a half no matter what I'm doing, even when I'm typing a simple word document. Here are my laptop specifications:

  • HD BrightView LED-backlit Display
  • Intel core i5 2.5 Ghz i5-2450M
  • 750GB hard drive 5400RPM
  • Video card: AMD Radeon HD 7690M XT
  • Battery: 6-Cell Lithium-ion

Here is a more detailed specification in case I left out anything important.

Thank you for your help!
