How can i setup different power profile settings? For example i want to set low screen brightness when i am on battery power and full brightness when i am not. From "power settings" i can setup brightness but it is persistent no matter what power i use. Is there any software that i can use to prolong my battery power when i use ubuntu? I can use my laptop at least 1 more hour when i am using windows....
