Two days ago I wrote about how you can install Jolicloud in easypeasy to get the best of both worlds. While it might be fun to test Jolicloud, please be aware that Jolicloud is alpha software and consumes a lot of your battery.
Technical
The computer can use very little power when the CPU isn’t being awakened. This is because of what’s called a tickless kernel. The jolicloud-daemon however wakes the CPU all the time (more than anything else), which mean your computer won’t be able to save power.
I need my power – what do I do?
If you’ve tested Jolicloud, and want to remove it for the time being, do this:
1. Open up a Terminal (Accessories > Terminal)
2. Write “sudo apt-get remove jolicloud*” and press Enter
3. After you’ve typed you password, Jolicloud will be removed. Log out and back in and Jolicloud stops draining your battery
