New to the forum here, had hoped for a better beginning to the open source world then this.
I had never installed Ubuntu before until a week back, followed all the precautions so that I didn't fall into trouble while dual booting windows 8. I installed Ubuntu 13.10 alongside windows 8.1 on a AsusN56VJ (intel i7 36300M,8gb ram, Nvidia 635M) on C drive itself,provided Ubuntu about 35 gb of free space to work with. Everything worked fine and Ubuntu installed without a hitch.
I've been using Ubuntu for the past 1 week and I've got accustomed to it but I've been facing a few problems:
1) Battery drains very quickly. On windows 8.1, I used to get atleast 2-2.5 hours with decent load on. Even when I put the laptop to sleep(i.e by closing the lid or the fn+Zz hotkey) the battery drains too quickly for my liking
2) When using Windows, if I put my laptop to sleep for more than 5 minutes, if I try to wake the laptop on, it directly jumps to the default Grub screen . I'm not able to go to the previous session in windows, I need to restart windows all over again sacrificing all my previous work.
3)Once I shift from a session on windows to Ubuntu, all the apps that require information from my other drives(i.e D,E,F drives) seem to reset itself. I utilize EiskaltDC++, clementine, both these apps require access files from the other drives but I need to refresh/(remove+add again) for these apps to have access to these particular folders.
I understand this might be a problem due to the way I installed Ubuntu. Would it be better if I allocate a completely different drive for Ubuntu? I would be glad to do this, heck I would prefer to completely segregate windows 8 and Ubuntu and that was the initial plan but most of the tutorials for dual booting never addressed this.
I like Ubuntu for the amount I've used it, if it were not for FIFA I would shift over to Ubuntu completely.
Your inputs/help would be well appreciated.
