jribDM|: Is there a topic you are interested in that isn't on the list of past classes?12:36
DM|let me look over it again12:36

DM|well are those good? those are things ive wanted to learn about for a while, specially battery saving mods12:59
jribDM|: yep, those are good.  I might take up the compiling one.  For your battery issues, a post to the mailing list or forum might get you faster results, or does no one seem to know there either?01:00
DM|no one i ask01:01
DM|its more of a "Is there ANYTHING out there that can help us laptop users get more batt life"01:01
DM|cus frankly linux battery life sux01:01
DM|and dont get me wrong, i am a linux only user01:01
jribI recall something about a "laptop-mode"?01:02

DM|hmm01:06
DM|maybe you can help me with this01:06
DM|echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor01:06
DM|bash: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor: Permission denied01:06
DM|sudo does not work either01:06
jribDM|: how are you using sudo?01:08
DM|sudo echo01:08
DM|etc01:08
DM|should i be using sudo su01:08
jribah but the redirection is done by the shell which only has user privs01:08
jribtry:  echo powersave | sudo tee /whatever01:08
DM|ah01:09
DM|says caling_governor  powersave01:09
DM|no01:09

DM|powersave :)01:12
DM|oh01:12
DM|anyway to shut of xpress card slot, and PCMCIA slot? i dont use them and they are sitting there doing nothing01:12
DM|or are they automatically shut down01:12
jribno idea01:13
DM|most of ACPI-support is suspend and hibernation, neither of which work correctly, but i dont think anyone should use them anyway01:14
DM|what would really be a nice feature in ubuntu is to be able to down-volt CPUs01:18
