So my battery just doesn't last. I got myself a replacement thinking that my battery is dead but still had the same result. I am running an HP NC6320 laptop with nothing extra (clean install). My brightness is on the lowest setting. I went through my services and stopped all the ones I don't need and installed powertop and did what it told me to do, (but it is not permanent for one). According to HP my battery should last about 4 hours, however I only get about 1.5 hours if I am lucky. I have to say when I was testing this on Windows I did not get 4 hours as HP say but got about 3 hours. So running Fedora cut my battery time in half. One thing I did see on powertop is that my "Wakeups-from-idle per second" is running at "669.1 interval: 10.0s", this looks high. How do you reduce this? Is there anything else I can do to get more battery power out of it? Thanks Chris </blockquote> </div></div> Since noone jumped on this message right away, you might want to resend it to the fedora-laptop-list where an issue like this might get better attention. I only run Fedora in virtual machines on my macbook (where osx is effectively still handling the power management), so I can't make any suggestions that would really help. <a href="http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-laptop-list" target="_blank">http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-laptop-list</a> -- Andrew Farris <<a href="mailto:lordmorgul@gmail.com" target="_blank">lordmorgul@gmail.com</a>> <a href="http://www.lordmorgul.net" target="_blank">www.lordmorgul.net</a> gpg 0x8300BF29 fingerprint 071D FFE0 4CBC 13FC 7DEB 5BD5 5F89 8E1B 8300 BF29 -- fedora-test-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-test-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">fedora-test-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list</a> </blockquote></div>
