I have a Lenovo Z585 with preinstalled Win8. I upgraded the win to 8.1 and dual booted Ubuntu 13.10. When i run Windows, the battery lasts about 2 hours. I can easily watch a movie or get work done without running for the charger. But when i boot into ubuntu, it lasts about 45 mins at best, and it heats up like crazy. The fan never slows done, running at full speed, but the laptop still gets hot. What do i do?
Ubuntu 13.10 on Lenovo uses too much power. How do i fix it?

Sounds like the power management isn't installed/working.
Go to synaptic package manager and search for a power manager program. Install & test i think the main one is something like pwctl
