We will be using TLP to manage system power use.
In practice, lasts more than 12 hours with the below config with various background apps running (docker with multiple containers, vs code, browser etc).
I have configured my XPS using below config to run the CPU in a reduced clock speed to reduce heat and power use. I usually prefer a cooler and long lasting laptop rather than a one that is warm to the touch when using it. Restart the computer and then run below command to select “Fingerprint” as an authentication method. To find out latest driver go to curl -sLO & sudo dpkg -i libfprint-2-tod1-goodix_0.0.6-0ubuntu1~somerville1_b Install the base libfprint package sudo apt install libfprint-2-todĭownload and install the latest proprietary driver from DellĪt the time of writing this, latest driver (deb file) is used in the below command. Make sure you have successfully installed and setup your user accounts under Ubuntu installation before proceeding to next steps. Make a bootable Ubuntu 20.04 USB drive and install Ubuntu using “OEM Install (for manufacturers)” selection under Grub menu. I haven’t tested these settings under PopOS or Linux mint versions which do have 20.04 based derivatives but technically they should work if Ubuntu Linux OEM kernel can be installed on them (official page on oem kernel ).
If you have a XPS which came with Ubuntu installation instead of Windows then you can download pre-built ISO from Dell site here įingerprint reader, howdy face recognition and other hardware features should work out of the box after installation of Dell official iso.įollowing instructions on getting the fingerprint reader worked for me so noting this down for anyone else having similar problems getting Ubuntu 20.04 based distro working on their XPS. End of the article, I will be listing some power management configuration which will help reduce heat and extend battery life but at the expense of performance when AC power is disconnected. This is apparently due to closed source device drivers. Dell XPS 9310 series laptops or other similar models which were released late 2020 may have issues getting the fingerprint reader working under Linux distributions.
