Hello everyone! I'm experiencing a wierd battery problem and I'd like to know if anyone have seen the same.
When I turn on Debian the battery is charged. acpi tells me there are still 3 hours of charge and everything is fine. The battery is relatively new and the maximum capicity for acpi is the 94% of the total, so fine. After 2 minutes (really 2 minutes!!!) the charge goes from the previous level to 8% no matter what you are doing or how much charged was the battery before, and only 10 minutes of time are left. My laptop is a dual boot with Win. If I reboot, Win confirms that the battery is extremely low and quickly goes to suspension. The funny part of all of it is that if I recharge the battery and I use only Win, the battery behaves as expected and I can work really for 3 hours. I seems in some way that something in Linux is sucking all the charge of the battery very very quickly. Some of you experienced something like this? Technical notes: I'm using Debian testing, last kernel (3.2.0-4 if I remember correctly), nvidia graphic card with nouveau and bumblee. The laptop is a Samsung RC530. Thanks everybody! Andrea
