Eurocom M5 Pro draining 40% of battery per hour while suspended to ram #129

Closed JeorgeMatt closed 8 years ago

I recently decided to use Ubuntu as my main OS in Eurocom M5 Pro, but I have noticed something strange with bbswitch. After installing it is draining a way too much battery while suspended to run. In windows or without bbswitch it uses about 3% per hour. Everything is working perfectly but the system is impossible to use as a laptop since the suspend to ram does not last very long and the hibernation is unreliable.

Is there any fix for this?

having an open OpenGL program on nvidia before suspend may help.

I think this is a duplicate of #115, if not please let me know.

It is a different laptop and i'm not sure if it is the same problem
