Thanks. Power Management for my ThinkPad seems a very ropey under Ubuntu. It
just seems 9.10 deals with things better.

Hi<br><br>This is a follow up to my email earlier today regarding my batter=
y issues in Ubuntu 10.10. (see it below).<br><br>I
am writing this from within Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD off the battery. OK, so
the battery is still not charging properly but this is a battery issue
and has the same probs under XP.<br>
<br>Under 10.10 if I booted up off the battery or pulled the plug while
it was on it would hang the machine, but it isnt doing it under 9.10.
This at least gives me a bit of hope that it isnt hardware related or a
problem with my ThinkPad more of a Ubuntu issue.<br>
<br>Can anyone shed any light on this. I might just go ahead and install 9.=
10 over 10.10 - at least then I could run it off battery.<br><br>Simon<br><=

<br>Hi<br>
<br>
I am trying to get round a problem with ThinkPad R31 running XP and Ubuntu =
10.10<br>
<br>
The battery is a bit flakey and it doesnt always show the correct time=20
left, so the light will flash telling me it is running out of battery=20
but it will run for about 60 mins doing this. Not a huge problem but I=20
have bigger problems in Ubuntu.<br>
<br>
It will not run off battery. If I boot it on battery once it gets into=20
Ubuntu it will hang and the scroll lock and caps lock light flash. Also=20
if I boot on AC adapter and then pull it out it does the same.<br>
<br>
It doesnt do this in XP. So while the battery is a bit flakey this is more =
of a problem with Ubuntu specifically.<br>
<br>
I have tried editing the boot options in grub - adding acpi=3Doff - but=20
that stopped the machine booting. It just showed a load of text of=20
screen and wouldnt go any further. I managed to remove the line and=20
restored grub.<br clear=3D"all"><br>
I really would love to resolve this. It is the one thing stopping me from u=
sing Ubuntu all the time. <br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
