Premature Battery Depletion

I thought I saw a thread that addressed this and provided some test and ideas but I can no longer locate it.  Feel free to point me in the right direction.

My battery dies way too early and the battery indicator is way off.  I'm probably getting about ...

Re: Lost Audio

I have the same problem sometimes.  For me it seems to be connected to installing VLC or Mplayer.  My sound works great and then one day it just stops. The only solution I have found is to reflash my XO and sound returns. The downside is I then have to...

Given that for whatever reason, not all applications work with all sugar versions and not all the machines out there (...) work with the same sugar version, why don't we make it...

hit enter

hit control/alt/erase to restart sugar

Once you get your Internet connection started up again, check t… Continue

I've tried to come up with catchy post titles so I could put this story in a logical order, like "Year of the XO, PContinue
