1 显示器

显示器这块历来是耗电大户，但是很多时候，你不可能为了省电把屏幕调到很暗的程度。毕竟我们拿电脑是来工作的，不是受虐的。所以，亮度调节这块，自己决定。而且ubuntu 12.04可以使用键盘热键调节，不需要配置就可以了。

2 CPU

我使用了cpufreq-info查看了CPU的情况，下面是我个人电脑上面CPU的数据：

可以看到这个4核CPU的可用工作频率在933MHZ到2.40GHZ之间，而由cpufreqstats一块可以清楚的知道，4个CPU占97%左右的时候都是处在933MHZ的最低水平，所以，CPU频率这一块也不需要自动调节，它自动调节功能已经可以了。

3 显卡

使用lspci | grep VGA可以查看个人电脑上面的显卡类型，我的数据如下：
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 425M] (rev ff)
从侦测数据上可以看到，我的电脑上面安装了核心显卡和N卡。
使用sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch命令可以查看当前使用那一个显卡，我的数据如下：
0:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0 1:DIS: :Off:0000:01:00.0
其中第一行的IGD Pwr表示当前使用的是核心显卡（这是我配置之后的）。
一般情况下，ubuntu会默认使用独显，所以会非常耗电。这里最重要的一步就是关闭独显，只使用核心显卡。下面的命令可以关闭独显：
echo IGD > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
使用sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch再次查看，如果出现如下数据即表示关闭独显成功：
0:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0 1:DIS: :Off:0000:01:00.0
在这里，如果要想开机时就关闭独显，可以在/etc/rc.local写入刚才命令即可。

4 硬盘

据说，ubuntu的电源管理有问题，使用如下命令可以查看：
sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda | grep 193 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 198 198 000 Old_age Always - 8199
如果最后那个数字(我的是8199)增长很快，你就得注意了，这个上限是60W次,超出之后硬盘就报废了。
下面的脚本可以检测在10分钟时间它的增长速度：
smartctl --all /dev/sda | grep 193;sleep 600;smartctl --all /dev/sda | grep 193
后记：实际上这个传闻比较不真实。因为的我的机器在8.18号测的数据是8199，而今天就是我发这篇博客到csdn的时候，上面的数据是9939.所以，真假自己看诶揣摩出来。
