so,
Leann: Yes, the issue is still present in Hardy. Why has this been
marked Incomplete? If you need any information please let me know and

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the

I am running Hardy on an Inspiron 6400 and I am facing the same problem.
Earlier with Gutsy the power manager used to show me around 3 hours of
battery backup now it has dropped to 1 hour 40 minutes.

Laptop battery runtime reduced in Hardy compared to Gutsy
Same problem here on a Dell latitude D630, battery life used to be 3h on
Gutsy, and is 2h on Hardy!
Furthermore, the output of the gnome battery widget is not consistent
with the output of powertop:

I've noticed that when I boot with the Gutsy kernel battery life is 26%

It happens the same to me, but I'm running a 32bit laptop. XP lives
almost 5.5 hours, Gutsy 4.25 and Hardy... 3.25!! I think it has

the energy consumption drops down, but still short battery life.
This is something I hoped it
