Hey Guys,
I have installed Xubuntu and been fooling around with it, installing the programs I will need in school and such. I have encountered two problems so far.
Sometimes when I start my computer, it stops before getting to the login screen, the screen is on, but it is plain black, and the only key it reponds to is the On-off key. When I press it, it comes up and shows that it have told the system to shutdown, and then shutsdown. Other times when I turn it on, it starts just fine, have no real clue as to what it could be, any clues?
Another problem I have come across is, that the computer is using alot more power than with windows installed. At full battery it could last 3:30-4:00 or something like that while browsing. Now it says somewhere around 2+ hours. I'm guessing I need to do something?
Edit: The windows power was with 4gigs of ram and a HDD and the linux is with 8gigs and a 256 gig SSD. Guessing that shouldnt affect the power usage by that much?
Hope you can help a noobie out
