I have a Samsung notebook with Core i3 Sandy Bridge processor and I want to install the patched kernel available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/PowerManagement

What Kernel version should I install, Oneiric Ocelot or Precise Pangolin?

What packages should I install? And how should I install them (the easiest way possible, please)?

Additional info: Ubuntu 11.10 x64 with Kernel 3.0.0-14.

Thanks.

If you follow the link you will find a number of deb packages, that should contain the patched kernel.
The easiest way to install deb package on Ubuntu is:

sudo dpkg -i package.deb

Just download amd64 versions of those packages. Please note that you may want both kernel image and it's headers.

P.S. 11.10 = Oneiric Ocelot

I seriously wouldn't bother with the kernel as you can get the biggest power saving just by editing your grub configuration. Really this alone was very effective for me on our Samsung laptop (2.5 hours to 4-5 hours).

And by not using a non-standard kernel it means:

  • You'll get security updates automatically.
  • You're not running on untested software.
