I'm new to Ubuntu, and I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10, and I must say I really like it a lot. I'm getting used to Ubuntu faster than I thought but the only issue I'm having is the power consumption.

I have a " dell 15R with BIOS a07" and I uninstalled Ubuntu 11.04 because of some glitches I hated. None of those appear on this Ubuntu but now my computer discharges way too quick. when I check the power icon, it states that I have like 3:45 min remaining, which is fairly the same as what win7 and Ubuntu 11.04 used to tell me but 15 min later I check again and it gives me only 1:15 min remaining. Also, my computer seems to get a lot hotter than it used to.

Is there more options to control the power usage on my laptop?

UPDATE: Heres solution How do I solve this super 11.10 heating problem

Old post: That's cause its using processes for showing that unity and effects.

I tried on netbook 11.10 and 10.04.3 but found best results with Ubuntu Netbook Remix witch last version is made in 10.04 LTS and LTS on every Ubuntu version coming out witch means that its sub-version made just a month ago.

Take Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04.03 from here.

You can learn about LTS here .

Believe me it will be faster. Also I recommend my "clean installation 1st time one liner" command witch sets better performance and less useless programs and it will later be more longer with more speed up settings.
