It's important to note that if you have two laptops, one running XP, one running Ubuntu and you let them run down doing nothing. Although the XP laptop will report a longer battery time, it in fact runs down at the same time as the Ubuntu laptop.
I have noticed the times get closer and closer together as the time runs out, until both had the same time. Please test this out using a stopwatch as this is what has happened in my tests, on different laptops. -- Bad battery runtime in Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
