Power Manager and other operating systems

I'm looking to run Linux on my T410.  I currently have my power manager in windows set to charger my battery to a max of 70% and start when it is below 60%.  I did this because I'm usually plugged in (If I'm not the laptop is asleep or I'm not using it for too long so the loss of battery time isn't that important) and I would like to preserve as much battery life as I can.  My question is, how are these settings saved, and if I were using Ubuntu, how could I keep my battery charging like this.  I didn't see any settings in Ubuntu to only have my battery charge to 70%, so I don't know what to do.

The settings will be written to a chip in the battery while "Shut down" the computer (but not "Restart"). So the values should be kept while using Linux. But i don't know the behavior of the charging values at shutting down Linux.

  • Problems with a bluetooth mouse and others operating systems

    Hello, I have an error related to bluetooth devices.
    I have on my Mac mini apart from Mountain Lion, a Linux distribution.
    Steps to follow to find the error:
    1. - Connect a bluetooth mouse to Mountain Lion and set it up.
    2. - Reset the mini, start with Linux and also configure the mouse.
    Now the mouse works fine on Mountain Lion and Linux.
    Start again with Mountain Lion, you will see that the mouse does not work, but the system has added and configured.
    That mistake I've seen for the first time in Snow Leopard, Lion has continued and now with Mountain Lion.
    The only way to fix it is to connect a USB mouse, remove the Bluetooth mouse and add it again.
    The configuration fails again when using the mouse in Linux.
    Tested on another Mac (Mac-Pro) with the same result.
    (I tested it with a Dell BT Travel Mouse and a Magic Mouse)
    Regards

    First, excuse my poor english
    It's not offend, but I understand that at the time that Linux is off, and OSX is on, is OSX which is not able to work with the mouse.
    I do not know what is the reason for which the operating system is not able to operate the mouse, even if it is paired and authorized.
    The system also says that the mouse is working properly, when it is obvious that it is not.
    Moreover, the Bluetooth preference pane is completely slowed and functioning incorrectly.
    And finally, to comment that the mouse works properly on Linux after having done in OSX ..., which shows that the problem is OSX.
    If I open this post is for someone to try and investigate.
    Would be nice if Apple released a patch as it is clear that something is not working well in OSX.
    What I did not expect was to listen that having a Linux through the middle, there is no problem.
    regards

  • Power Manager and LCD Brightness, System Freezes, and other Problems

    I have a brand new X200 with PM 1.54.  At first everything was working great.  Over the past few days I've noticed a few things:
    1.  When running on battaries, the screen brightness changes about every 10 seconds even though the profile I'm using has that feature turned off. 
    2.  After running the computer for about 1/2 hr, suddenly the PM shows a dramatic reduction in amount of time left on my battery which coinsides with: 
         a) fan consantly running; AND
         b) about 10 minuntes later my entire system freezes and I have to push the power button to force a reboot. 
    Any ideas what's wrong? 

    Since your Mac Pro is new, you would do well to contact Apple about this problem while the warranty is still in effect.

  • HT4623 i have 4s and the operating system is iOS 5.1.1  got the update message of iOS 6. if update the iOS 6, other functions will work unchanging?

    I have apple 4s and the operating system is iOS 5.1.1  got the update message of iOS 6. if update the iOS 6, other functions will work unchanging?

    What other functions?
    There have been some wifi related issues reported with the 4S being updated to IOS 6. There is no turning back once you update so keep that in mind.
    I recommend updating via iTunes so that you make a backup of all your data. You may want to make an iCloud backup as well.
    Other than that, I don't understand what other functions you are concerned about?

  • I have 10.6 8 Sno Leopard and trying to download yosemite by it keeps failing.  Are there other operating systems in between that need to be installed first?

    I have 10.6 8 Snow Leopard and trying to download yosemite by it keeps failing.  Are there other operating systems in between that need to be installed first?

    Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
    Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
    To install OS X  10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks (free upgrade, but currently unavailable) or OS X 10.10 Yosemite (currently available free upgrade) you need one of these Macs:
    OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion purchased emailed download code here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Next,
    If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
    The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe  could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
    So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
    Also, check for app compatibilty  here.

    If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
    These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
    Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest versions of OS X by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password and if you purchased a download code, input that code.
    You can then begin the download and installation process of installing the newer versions of OS X from the Mac App Store.

  • Vista: use the windows program manager to execute operating system commands

    attempting to run forms 6 on vista... the forms app attempts a call sqlplus using the host builtin to populate some tables before calling the report.
    in windows vista i get a message box indicating "use the windows program manager to execute operating system commands".
    is this windwos vista message? would this have to do with permissions?
    any insight most appreciated and thanks in advance.

    I don't know about the HOST-problem, but..
    the forms app attempts a call sqlplus using the host builtin to populate some tables before calling the report.What about putting the logic from the SQL*Plus-scripts into a database-procedure and call that instead. I think,, with the current approach you will get problems at least when you have to migrate to Web (e.g. Forms 10g).

  • T430s Error in how the Power Manager icon displays in system tray at bottom of screen

    The icon for the Power Manager in the Windows system tray in the bottom right area of the screen is cut off.    It's basically displaying itself too low on the system bar.  Please see picture attached:
    Does anyone know how to fix this?  I've tried updating to the latest version of Power Manager (v 6.40) but that didn't help.  I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
    Thanks.

    Hi, wesaturn
    Have you tried updating all other driver updates available for your system, such as the BIOS and video drivers? They can all be found here if not. 
    Also, how long has this been occurring? And has it ever displayed properly?
    Best,

  • We have an Apple 9 and 10 operating system and want to get rid of the 9 how do we do that?

    We have a power mac G4 with Operating Systems 10.3 on it and 9.0 and want to get rid of the 9.0 and only upgrade the 10.3 to Snow Leopard is that possible and what do we do? Does this mean when we bought this did they partition the drive, do we need to undo something to make this work properly?
    Julie Reid

    An alternate method is to just throw away the OS 9 System Folder (not the folder named System - that's OSX), and throw away the OS 9-only apps you might have.
    Since it is OS 9.0, it can not be used as Classic - and so there should be no hooks to Classic in OSX that might prevent a casual removal via the Trash.
    If OS 9 is on its own partition (the default is everyhting on one volume (partition), but any folks who have both OS's have placed OS 9 on its own partition), then you can erase just that partition.
    Additional issue -
    You mentioned installing Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6). Since you have a PowerMac, that's not possible. Snow Leopard will run only on machines having an Intel processor, which no PowerMac (or any machine capable of using OS 9) has.
    Depending on other criteria, your machine may not even be suitable for Leopard (OSX 10.5). There are some minimum requirements that must be met - primarily a CPU (machine) speed of 867MHz (no stock machine capable of boooting to OS 9.0 has a processor that fast), plus some minimums with regard to RAM and available hard drive space.
    The full specs for Leopard are shown in this Apple KBase article -

    As Niel pointed out, yes.  The disk probably will look like the MBP disk (4) in this screenshot;

  • Creating .app folders in other operating systems?

    I'm working on a cross-platform game and am hoping to create an OS X port of it. I don't have access to a mac, and so am unable to use the xcode tool for creating .app folders. Are there any tools for creating .app folders on other operating systems? I'd prefer Linux, but can also use windows if required.
    Thanks
    Nathaniel

    Well, .app bundles are specific to Cocoa and Carbon applications... The closest way to make such applications is to use GNUStep (which is an open Cocoa) but it means to rebuild the whole app to make it work with Cocoa/GNUStep...
    However, application that are compatible with Mac OS X are not necessarily in .app bundles. Bundles are used for a specific purpose which gather files that the app should have really close, like its interface files (nib) that is used only with Cocoa or Carbon. If your app is neither Carbon nor Cocoa, there's no use in creating a .app bundle it doesn't even exist. And moreover, Xcode (or Project Builder on GNUStep) is the only app that creates .app bundles.

  • CSA on Other Operating Systems

    When does Cisco plan to have a CSA client for other operating systems like SuSe 10 desktop and OES server?
    Also, when will they have a client for 64-bit windows architecture? (64-bit may only seem like the buzz word of the moment, but with all future [Microsoft/Novell/SUN/Linux]Server technology coming out 64-bit it makes me nervous when in my environment is mandated to have CSA on all machines including Servers.)
    Does Cisco have a client in development for additional operating systems?

    There are QFS drivers for linux client support, not sure about windows.

    I am receiving an error message "Error: 150:30" after having my computer serviced.

    I tried to download a Licensing update, but can't get that to open.????
    My machine had originally been a clone of another Mac. Not it looks like a brand new computer.
    Possibly there is something in system preferences to change? I turned off Firewall and allow downloads from all parties.
    Thank You for you help!
    joe

    150:30 means the licensing failed. Photoshop can't be moved like other programs from another drive or from backup.
    I would suggest a reinstall to fix it. Anytime you move Photoshop from from drive to another, it breaks licensing. A install is the quickest way. to fix it.
    When you are done with the install, apply all CS4 updates.  Product updates
