Saving Battery on your Lenovo X61 in Linux
by drew on December 6, 2008
here are some issues with the power manager in ubuntu and tablet. There was alarge discussion you can find here.
But basically to save power and time you should run without atime by following these commands
Make sure you have vim-full installed
sudo apt-get install vim-full
This is a powerful editor, the lite edition is confusing to some, ignore this if you would like to use gedit (think graphical editor) just replace `vi` with `gedit` in the commands
Next,
sudo vi /etc/fstab
Find the line that looks like this,
UUID=65d4f3af-6###-4767-b###-4aa28b61b### / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
Do not copy my line, your likely to have issues if you do so.
Make the line look like this by pressing `insert` and moving the pointer to the place and typing in the text, hit ‘esc’ and then ‘shift + v’ twice
UUID=65d4f3af-6###-4767-b###-4aa28b61b### / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 1
Restart your system or run this command
sudo mount -o remount /

disabling atime will also speed up your hard drive a little bit.
