Normally it takes 2 hours to finish the power. There is some workround to resolve this uncomfortable problem? There are plenty of tools in linux to discover what's using your battery and to reduce that consumption. powertop is a well-regarded tool for showing what's using power at the moment (for example, what's causing the CPU to wake from idle, what's keeping the disk running etc). In terms of reducing power consumption, laptop-mode-tools is probably your first port of call. It includes a range of measures to bring down power consumption (such as adjusting sync times so the hard drive gets a change to spin down and stay spun down longer). -- Darac Marjal signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I read something on a regression¹ in kernel about power management that left batteries dried very quickly, but not sure if that was oficially confirmed nor if it is still present on the 3.0 branch :-? ¹http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=linux_31_power_regressnum=1 Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

There have been two reasons found, whereas one has been fixed. Second one I'm not sure about, but IIRC the core reason wasn't located.
