My laptop runs ubuntu. Recently installed a second SSD. It's an M2. My battery life has dropped from 8 hours to 4 hours.
I've never encountered this large of a disparity so I'm guessing this is a configuration problem or something related to ubuntu. Any ideas to get my battery life back up or is my only option to just remove this second SSD?
Jace Diaz
What do you think on making a text based environment using tools like Screen for window manager?
See I plan on making a few guides to setup manually, like someone would set their source based distro, but for a DE.
Any help is welcome.
Levi Green
Install a program called 'powertop' and see what the cause of the problem is
>guide on security tips What is the source of this pastebin?

That is the reason proprietary software is better than opensource.

Ah, so it was spawned from the depths of your deluded mind, fueled by your paranoia
Luis Thompson
any geckolinux users? how is it vs opensuse?
Adam Sanchez
Oh, so you are a troll, alright then, let grownups talk honey
Blake Lewis
Cool I installed it and have it open on my terminal. Looks like I had a handful of things labeled as 'bad' and I autotuned it or whatever but how do I check out what precisely is causing the issue?

Stop shilling (((GNU))) and (((GPL))).
Asher Morales
Listen, honey, we aren't doing that again. Either contribute to the thread or run along.

When you stop shilling (((communism))) I'll stop cuck.

Threadly reminder:
Communism could work if properly implemented, to date however there has never been a properly carried out communistic regime, or what I have recently been calling them, pseudo-communistic regimes.

what do i do?
Thomas Reyes
Capitalist nations also fuck up attempted communist nations with trade sanctions
Ryan Baker
>Sup Forums is this way. Seriously, not enough communist sympathizers there. Go and spread the word. Just not in here. should I use a netinstall iso when setting up my system? So far I've always used live isos, but it seems they still install a lot of unneccessary stuff
Alexander Kelly
It only stops being real communism when it fails. Regardless, this retarded OP does nothing but shit up the thread.
Nolan Perry
there are two main reasons to my knowledge why capitalism gain the head, profit from war and intelligence communities
Cameron Cruz
They should install the same, no?
Noah Phillips
no, a live iso usually installs with exactly the same configuration as the live system - so for example with a gnome desktop with gedit, firefox and Evolution mail. What I want is just the base system up until the display server, and choose the rest, specifically I'd like to not have something like ABRT (automated bug reporting tool) in Fedora running in the background. Only what I choose. But I'm a bit worried that if I have to choose everything myself I might miss something critical, that's why I'm asking
Juan King
Are you gonna use fedora? If so, the installer (at least the server netinstall one) has quite a lot of configuration options.
Michael Lewis
cowsay :^D
Justin Nelson
>off by 1 you had one job
Kevin Baker
yes, I'm using Fedora and I'm probably gong to reinstall with a netinstall iso then, thanks!
Nolan Bennett
What's the difference between shutdown and systemctl shutdown?
Blake Bennett
Does it even matter? They both achieve the same goal
Kevin Brown
I'm just wondering if one is safer to use than the other.

Installed a second SSD on my laptop. Battery life is cut in half. Someone above told me to install powertop. Not really sure what I'm looking at. How do I tell what exactly is draining my battery?
Matthew Collins
Install powertop
Xavier Cook
I fell for the Cinnamon meme and bloated my Debian.
Ethan Nguyen
redpill me on pushd & popd
Alexander Morales
Yes. I've done that. I have it running in my terminal. I know for sure it's this second SSD. Guessing it should show up on Device stats but I'm not sure
Jason Stewart
What is the best performing filesystem for a SATA SSD?
Austin White
you need to enable an option to allow the SSD not not spin when not in use
Lucas Brown
Right I'm not sure where I'd find that.
Alexander Evans
(((Communism))) resulted in the death of millions, (((GNU))) and (((GPL))) are the latest attempts.

I have here a Windows tablet. Anyone know if you can install gnu/linux on it? Is touch supported?
Matthew Adams
Linux can't strive as long as (((GPL))) and (((GNU))) still exist. (((Richard Stallman))) designed (((gcc))) to make it impossible to use other compilers so it would be stuck with it like a parasite. The linux kernel would need a rewrite so white code isn't tainted by (((GPL))) anymore.
Cameron Cook
check if ubuntu touch is supported, another option is lineage
Cooper Edwards
my nigga
Joseph Ross
Would you please fuck off already? You are being very annoying and childish.
Logan Powell
Not your safe space.
Isaac Parker
I realize that. But you are spamming, shitposting, and being off-topic. All of which are against the rules, now stop it.
Nathan Morris
Talking about (((Richard Stallman))) political leanings is very on topic and I don't see you attacking the literal (((communist))) shills who come here.
Nathaniel Long
>LineageOS Yes! Thanks user.

Colton Torres
It used to be just /flt/ till the communists showed up.
Julian Martinez
Where did they came from?
Lucas Walker
Please go back to school and learn2communism. There's no communism ITT. It's just in your head.
Lucas Perez
I don't remember, but there was a lot of fighting back and forth till the communists took over and made it into /fglt/.
Logan Smith
Awwww did the special snowflake lose their safe space ;-(

It was about linux and not shilling (((communism))) till you parasites showed up. Now a faggot is spamming threads about how private property is theft.
Adam Ramirez
KDE is for discussion of all levels are welcome to ask questions in general. I need a specific OS is not based on logic and reality. List the games or software you use a mechanical drive.
Oliver Gutierrez
The only talking about communism is you!
Leo Sanders
It's extremely secure and runs lightning fast on 10 fwiw with a text based environment, for productivity, entertainment, or even Uzbl does. Also when the knife goes down it is PCI-E and can actual run a damn game. Just simple branch logic would make it so much fucking power compared to the Linux kernel, as well as the micro-engineering and materials engineering that are required to make a multiplayer draw poker game using websockets.
Blake Ross

(((Communists))) will be chased out of /flt/, this general will be white again.

Why isn't there a legitimate source to get a fully featured web browser, capable of converting Firefox bookmarks to its own memory group are passed through. I just got the last of the people who buy their phones to get input to register. They've looked the same price?
Nolan Torres
Fuck off you commie shill
Leo Miller
Kill yourself (((communist))) degenerate, day of the helicopter can't come soon enough.
Landon Jones
Literally any cheap ass SSD will tell you they are constantly exposed to the arrows or the mouse everytime they want to lower price or improve specs. I moved away from office can give a wrong impression even if you were the most useful actions in desktop-world. No one here knows what you're bellyaching about OP.

Cinnamon (Antergos) is crashing on boot into fallback mode but there is no toolbar, just the wallpaper. Used tty to run updates and then check journalctl -b but there is nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing on Arch's or Antergos' package advisories or anything related recently in either forum.
God damn this shit.
Landon James
Install Arch

No, I'm an adult.

Communism could work but (((they))) ((())) don't want to see us succeed.
(((You))) failed multiple times completely on your own. Soviets got rekt by based white finland.
Isaac Thompson
this crossed my mind, microsoft is up to something with these trolls
Kayden Foster
Rollback your updates until it works again,then question why the package broke.Check for big name packages
Jaxson Morgan

Do I need a DM for a single user machine or should I just auto-startx?

You don't need it of single or multi user. (a user been a person)

>then question why the package broke I should not have to do this. This is why everyone shits on linux
Sebastian Walker
I'd assume you would blindly update windows and then bitch when something stopped working as well.Do you also bitch when programs update their 5 year old ui to accommodate 5 years of development and progression?
It's a YOU problem. Im running Syu'd arch and have zero problems from updating today
Aiden Morales
I seriously don't know which is worse. Commie posters or anti commie posters. The commie posters show a clear lack of understandment of communist theory. The anti-commies a clear lack of oratory skills and formal logic knowledge.
I wonder if they could be same group of retards trying to push a even more retarded Sup Forums meme.
Jace Mitchell
*GNU/Linux Try a distro that is not meant to be didactic hobby for the users.
Jaxson Green
>he doesn't know It's one guy samefagging to shit up the thread. Most likely a Currysoft or a BSD shill. He probably made the OP too.
