Now you mention it Marcello... I also erroneously started up the recovery partition and had to sort our the MBR and Grub afterwards. I don't recall having these issues before doing this. I'm not sure this caused the issue though since others posting here haven't mentioned it.
With hindsight, I wish I had only run windows for a few days (torture I know - it is only there for those rare occasions and runs LibreOffice, Firefox and Thunderbird) without booting into Ubuntu to see how things faired. Then I could have been a little more suspicious that Ubuntu somewhow causes the problem. After updating the BIOS I noticed that the BIOS setting for only charging the battery to 80% had been disabled (it was enabled before). Maybe resetting the BIOS to default values mught re-instate normal behaviour for a period. I'm not in a position to try it right now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971061 Title: acpi reports battery state incorrectly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/971061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
