[Bug 434251] Re: karmic: battery drains
I confirm that estimations given by the power-manager applet are pure non-sense and changing all the time. Worst : yesterday, it was telling me that there was 35minutes battery left then, suddenly, it hibernated without even asking me or warning me. ** Summary changed: - karmic: battery drains + karmic: battery left time estimation is wrong and randomly changing -- karmic: battery left time estimation is wrong and randomly changing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434251 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 434251] Re: karmic: battery drains
My problem is (with karmic final installed), that 1. the battery does not last nearly as long as it did with jaunty a week before 2. every time i sign in a pop-up tells me that the battery's capacity is low, so it is either old or broken (it shows some sort of percentage, which is declining from day to day, so it has to be getting worse) -- karmic: battery drains https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434251 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 434251] Re: karmic: battery drains
I seem to have the same problem, the Update to this message you've sent I think it's because the system has to learn how long your battery lasts before giving accurate results. But as for the bug you posted I'm running with the same problem. I have a Dell XPS M1530. When I unplug the AC it goes from 100% to around 50% in one minute and then start dropping normally, until 5% when I plug it again, so I have half of the battery I had on Jaunty. -- karmic: battery drains https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434251 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 434251] Re: karmic: battery drains
Maybe it has to do with the Capacity: I right-click on the battery icon, go to Power History and it gives me a Capacity of 53%. But I'm pretty sure in Jaunty the battery had much more duration -- karmic: battery drains https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434251 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 434251] Re: karmic: battery drains
Update to this: I noticed when I unplugged the power cable, notification-osd told me I have 8 hrs 10 mins left of battery, at 99,7% That's waaay too much. Then, 2 minutes later, it's reporting 1 hr 15 mins, now 1 hr 45 secs (95,9%) With previous version of Ubuntu I had roughly 2 hours with a fully charged battery. (That is reported. I have never timed actual battery life) -- karmic: battery drains https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434251 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
