Presently I have kernel 3.13.0-48-generic installed (from the automatic updates). With Bluetooth and WiFi off I am able to bring the discharge rate down to 12 W/h. Although now I have battery lifetimes in line with those I had with Ubuntu 12.04, there is still a long way to go to catch Windows.

Whereas with 12.04 the battery discharge rate would stay somewhere between 10 - 12 W/h, with 14.04 it remains persistently over 30 W/h. The discharge rate came closer to normal after an upgrade by late May. But last week, apparently after an upgrade to linux-headers-generic, the abnormally high discharge rate is back. This thread at AskUbuntu details what I have tried (unsuccessfully) to identify the cause of this problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/461620/ubuntu-14-04-draining-laptop- battery-quicker-than-in-12-04-1-hour-versus-4-hou ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 1:0.220.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-32.57-generic 3.13.11.4 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-32-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.2 Architecture: amd64 CrashDB: ubuntu CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Wed Jul 23 11:15:26 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2011-07-22 (1096 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: ubuntu-release-upgrader Symptom: release-upgrade UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-05-02 (81 days ago) VarLogDistupgradeTermlog: To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1347539/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
