I have an Averatec 6200 laptop with an extra hard drive that I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on. When it boots up it says "your battery may be broken or old".. etc. etc. If I continue to operate it on AC power, the battery indicator shows full charge but the AC adapter connector gets hot and after awhile the battery also gets hot. I put my other hard drive in which has Window$ XP-Home installed on it and the same battery acts normally. It is an old battery but will last about an hour with XP but with Ubuntu, when I unplug the power adapter the systems goes into hibernation within 30 seconds. Something is not quite rite here.
I am new to Ubuntu. I had Fedora 10 on the same hard drive before I reformatted it and installed the newly downloaded Ubuntu and it worked ok. No problem with the batter there either. (I'm also quite new to Linux so I have little knowledge of the system) Wish I could help more. -- Battery Broken message cut off https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
