I just installed kernel 3.5 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v3.5-quantal/ on my Ubuntu 12.04 and the bug is still present.
I am really annoyed by this bug and I waste a lot of time each day or have to make special preparations not to have to ever load the batter while trying to work. I really hope somebody would fix this bug because protection from bad hardware drivers was the main motivation I bought an certified Dell computer with pre-installed Ubuntu in the first place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998204 Title: Intel chipset driver bug on Ubuntu certified Dell Latitude E5420: connecting power cord makes kworker run amok To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/998204/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
