I have been using Ubuntu 11.04 on DELL Inspiron 14R (N5010) laptop for last three months. Before I switch to Ubuntu my laptop battery used to give 2.5 hrs to 3 hrs back-up. But since I have been using Ubuntu, it has been reduced to 1hr to 1.5 hrs at max.
I tried following commands:
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
Which gave result as:
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charged
present rate: 1 mA
remaining capacity: 4400 mAh
present voltage: 12407 mV
Then I tried acpi -b
, that resulted in:
Battery 0: Unknown, 100%
When I gave command as upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0
native-path: /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0
