As cjcolella said, for people that switched to Ubuntu recently, just like me, the line in /etc/default/grub looks like this now (Natty, all updates):
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=force" My Toshiba laptop (C650-16R, Intel i3, intel hd graphics) can now run longer, but I agree with all people saying this is a huge bug. On first run of Ubuntu I could enjoy the laptop almost 4 hours and a few days ago it only worked for more that one hour. Now I get almost 2 hours (better, but not perfect). I hope the battery is not permanently affected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760131 Title: Power consumption raised significantly in natty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/760131/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
