I just woke up, re-inserted the battery and switched the computer on: the charge is the same as when I switched it off 7hr ago. I found the the problem is actually elsewhere: in the meanwhile I got the solution from another list. For details see: http://www.nabble.com/Battery-discharge-during-hibernation-td22417171.html The problem is the suspend-to-disk method: in my laptop (lenovo thinkpad) the "platform" method do both suspend-to-ram and then suspend to disk. This is expected to make the resume process more rapid using the image written to ram, while preserving those written to swap in case of complete battery consumption. By the way, this doesn't work for me: only resume from swap works making this method completely unuseful. augh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-laptop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
