[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1215590] Re: BIOS update 219 (from 215) for Asus UX31A led to battery % error

This bug appears to have been resolved for me at least with kernel v3.8.0-31. Battery is now showing 100% when fully charged. Kind regards and thanks Christopher ** Tags added: kernel-fixed-v3.8.0-31 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is s

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1214638] Re: [Asus UX31A] Linux 3.8.0-27 & Linux 3.8.0-29 render system unbootable with "black screen of death"

I have reason to believe that this issue is now resolved for me with Linux 3.8.0-31, which appears to be the healthiest kernel so far without resorting to trying the mainline kernel. After already a number of boot-ups, I'm pleased to say that I've not suffered from any "black screen of death" prob

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1215590] Re: BIOS update 219 (from 215) for Asus UX31A led to battery % error

Sigh ... it seems that the issue remains even when booting up using the previous kernel version. Problem is that if I approach Asus about this, then they will simply reply with "sorry, we don't support linux, ...Asus recommends Windows 8". :-( Like hell I'll use Windows 8! I updated the BIOS in a

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1215590] [NEW] BIOS update 219 (from 215) for Asus UX31A led to battery % error

Public bug reported: Following a BIOS update from 215 to 219 for my Asus UX31A, battery % now reports as being on 84% when it should read 100% (as it does in Windows 8). This value will remain permanently on 84% and will never reach 100% when plugged into the mains. The little light on the power c

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1214638] Re: [Asus UX31A] Linux 3.8.0-27 & Linux 3.8.0-29 render system unbootable with "black screen of death"

Hmmm Today I tried booting up again and it went back to the "black screen of death" with nothing more than a blinking cursor in the top left corner. I shut down, and booted it up again and it got the login screen. The behaviour seems random. So, to conclude, it seems that the problem is not y

Christopher, I have just updated the BIOS to version 219 and am pleased to say that I have now been able to boot into the latest kernel 3.8.0-29. sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Output: UX31A.219 06/14/2013 Thanks for pointing me in the right direction on t

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1214638] [NEW] Linux 3.8.0-27 & Linux 3.8.0-29 render system unbootable with "black screen of death"

Public bug reported: Ever since upgrading to xubuntu 13.04 (from 12.10), my system has been experiencing start up failures resulting in a "black screen of death" with nothing but a blinking cursor in the top left corner. This happened every so often, and despite it being immensely annoying, I coul
