CHAPTER 10 PERSONALIZING UBUNTU: GETTING EVERYTHING JUST RIGHT Figure 10-10. A wide variety of applets are available. Some are informative; others are just fun. Setting Power-Saving Features Ubuntu includes a number of features to use the power-saving features of your computer, including the ability to switch off the monitor after a set period of inactivity. However, some quick configuration is necessary to set up the system just the way you want it. Tip If your computer has a CPU that can adjust its clock speed on the fly, such as a mobile processor or an AMD chip with the PowerNow! function, Ubuntu will automatically install software that will make this work. To see the speed of your processor, right-click the Panel, select Add to Panel, and choose the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor. Controlling the Monitor Shutoff You can configure the monitor to go into standby mode after a certain amount of time has passed. This can save a lot of electricity should you happen to leave your computer unattended for long periods.
