I should probably mention that this doesn't seem to happen anymore for me. However, during the last few weeks I had several computer issues, which among other things led to replacing the motherboard (twice), the hard drive and the battery, and reinstalling Gutsy from scratch (the previous one had been updated all the way from Dapper).
The fact that the battery was broken — and, more interestingly, it still worked but its self-reporting didn't — may mean that was the problem. However, the symptoms I reported initially did happen right after updating to Gutsy, so there was probably a bug involved, too. With the new battery uptime seems to be close to three hours, which is quite good. That's about what I was getting when I first got the laptop, despite the fact that the new battery is smaller (5200mAh vs 6000). -- power manager insists batter is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119318 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
