Optimize Power Settings on Your Laptop with TLP in Lubuntu/Ubuntu
This is the third in the series while optimizing my Samsung Series 5 535u3c Ultrabook. With the default Lubuntu/Ubuntu settings, power consumption isn’t that optimal. In fact, the power my ultrabook uses when idle averages about 11-12W (basically about almost 3 hours of use on an 80% charged battery). Ubuntu uses a set of scripts…

The default proprietary linux display drivers in Xorg for Lubuntu which I installed in my Samsung 535u3c ultrabook doesn’t work for the lcd brightness settings (xbacklight doesn’t work for this notebook).

There’s an interesting writeup by Gabriel Forster in his blog on how he implemented linux on the Christian School that he was teaching in.
How About Chrome OS USB Image Builds?
I’ve been thinking. I think there’s a small window of opportunity here. Mainly because since I’m researching on some things, and I’ve got a little spare time on my hands, why not make a Chromium Build? I’ve got the newest Ubuntu version, some modest harddisk space allocated to it (20Gb), and I’m also curious on…
