Make battery-life of Ubuntu 12.04 longer on ThinkPad T430s

It’s been months since I swithed completely to Xubuntu 12.04 from MS Windows on my ThinkPad T430s. Basically I’m satisfied with Xubuntu 12.04, but there are some points which need tweaks. They are…

  • Battery Life
  • Somehow battery on ThinkPad T430s lasts only around 2hours on Xubuntu, which is much shorter than Windows.

  • Projector
  • XFCE is not so good at dealing with projectors or external monitors. I’m still struggling with this matter, so I don’t make any comments now.

As of battery life, I found a very good tool, which is TLP.

By installing TLP, the battery life gets longer by one hour without any modification, which is great.
