This solution fixed the following problems:

My lap-top battery doesn't charge on ubuntu 12.10 though it works fine under Windows with some driver.

Here's my Lap-Top model dell inspiron n5110 Some info:

mahmoud@MahmoudFaroukMachine:~$ cat /sys/bus/acpi/drivers/battery/PNP0C0A\:00/power_supply/BAT0/{status,model_name,charge_now}

Unknown DELL GK2X619 867000

I have a Dell inspiron 1501 AMD and i want to install Ubuntu 12 BUT : I do not get to see the install screen .

i wrote a boot cd put it in and restart ...

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 with Gnome 3.6 on a Dell Inspiron N5010 laptop, but I have a problem with the power handling/battery. As soon as I disconnect my charger, the battery starts discharging from an indication of 51% and it lasts for only 1 hour. Compared two hours in Windows 7, this is a major difference.

I've installed Jupiter and I don't see any change.

Hi

I have a Dell 1501 Inspiron laptop and have swapped out the broadcom network card for an intel 4965AGN so I can use n-speed with my new router.

Everything works sweet except my laptop now crashes/locks-up if I try to run on battery power.

I'm new in the Ubuntu world. I just bought a Dell Inspiron XPS 14z Ultrabook and installed Ubuntu to dual boot with Windows thanks to the Ubuntu Secured Remix package. Everything works fine except the battery.

I have, at most, 1h 30' battery life. With windows it can last more than 3h.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 and I have Ubuntu 11.10, and in my dell laptop it allow me to discharge the battery when I am using the power cable and that helps in the life of the battery, and I used to do that in Windows.

The shortcut to activate it is (FN) + (F3) but when I use it in Ubuntu it shows:

AC adapter laptop battery processor

and nothing helps in what I am looking for.
