Hi, i have a notebook and i use the battery monitor applet to well monitor the battery life. I have 2 questions. 1. if I try to suspend I get the following error The Suspend command '/usr/bin/apm -s' was unsuccessful 2. it seems that the battery life drains really fast if I run just on the battery. Is there a setting I can change so the battery won't get drained so fast? System specs. Medion MD42100 notebook intel 1.5 Ghz. mobile processor intel ipw2200 centrino wireless 256 MB ram (yes I need more) D855 intel chipset 15" LCD Display dvd-rom/CD-RW Thanks in advance -- Jim Lawrence Registered Linux User: #376813 ******************************************************** When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle.
