Ubuntu Networking :: T22 With Edimax PCMCIA Disconnects On Switch To Battery?

Jun 18, 2011

I have just upgraded to 11.04 from an earlier version and most things are working better, if a little slower. Had to remove pulse audio to get any sound. Wifi with Edimax 54G Pcmcia card used to work fully, but now only works on mains, not on battery.Suspected power management but iwconfig shows it is off.Dmesg revealed that the driver had crashed in rt61pci.

Code:
[ 452.171536] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
[ 452.171559] IP: [<e0a441df>] rt61pci_config+0x1f/0x180 [rt61pci]

About 20 seconds after I unplug my Laptop from the AC adapter myiFi connection disconnects.

I'm running 10.10 32-bit.lspci shows me these information about my WiFi-Adapter

Ubuntu Networking :: 11.04 - Slow Wireless When On Battery Power

Sep 1, 2011

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 32Bit on an ASUS Eee PC 1015PX. I have found a strange anomaly concerning wireless connection when running on battery power. I have been experiencing very slow performance when connecting to my home NAS and also the internet through a wireless connection when using my netbooks internal wireless card (Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)) when running on battery power. The card works fine and connects at full speed when running on mains power but as soon as I switch to battery power the card connects to the internet/network fine but the connection speed is very slow indeed. I am using the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA propriety wireless driver.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Connection Lost When Using Battery Power?

Dec 18, 2010

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition on a Dell Mini 9 - worked around a few wireless issues on setup and connectivity has been fine, but now I'm suddenly losing wifi when I unplug my AC adapter. It still shows me as connected, but when I try to view web pages in Chromium, it will load pages for a few seconds, and then suddenly cuts out - though it still looks like it's trying to load the page.

It's the same if I boot on battery power - it will keep trying to connect to wifi but won't until I plug in the adapter. I'm assuming this probably has something to do with my power management preferences in battery mode, but I'm still pretty new to Ubuntu, and I'm not sure how to fix this. I've played with the options in power management, but I have a feeling there has to be more. Can anyone help me? This has been really frustrating.

Ubuntu Networking :: Slow Wireless Connection When On Battery Power

Mar 21, 2011

I have a problem with my wireless where when running the laptop from the battery the connection is very slow. When the laptop is connected to the power supply everything is fine, but the moment it's disconnected and run on the battery the speed drops when browsing the Internet or accessing files on other computers on my network.

The laptop is a Samsung SF310
Wireless chipset is BCM4313

Code:
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
Subsystem: Wistron NeWeb Corp. Device 051a
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
Memory at f4c00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: wl
Kernel modules: wl

In attempt to fix this I installed the latest drivers from the Broadcom site using this guide. When I enabled these drivers everything worked well. I did speed test and got the same speeds I get when connected via Ethernet:

Ping 51ms
DL 4.31
UL 0.65

So I set the drivers to load at boot using this forum post as a guide as the steps in the Broadcom guide didn't work and rebooted the laptop on battery power. The wireless connected fine, but the slow speed problem had returned. Running a speed test got the following results

Ping 235
DL 0.54
UL 0.30

So I ran iwconfig when running from battery and then from power supply.
Code:
xxxx@xxxx ~ $ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11 Access Point: Not-Associated
Link Quality:5 Signal level:215 Noise level:160
Rx invalid nwid:0 invalid crypt:0 invalid misc:0
As can be seen the signal quality is 5 and signal level 215

Code:
xxxx@xxxx ~ $ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 IEEE 802.11 Access Point: Not-Associated
Link Quality:5 Signal level:214 Noise level:164
Rx invalid nwid:0 invalid crypt:0 invalid misc:0

And when connected via the power supply the signal level is 5 and signal level 214. There may be some kind of power saving issue, although there are no relevant setting in the BIOS and I can't see anything in the various wireless control pannels. I have other wireless drivers and there are no problem with those.

Ubuntu :: How Do I Check Battery Power

Dec 17, 2010

I have a starling netbook, but I have the regular ubuntu interface on it. I normally have it plugged into a power source, but now it is unplugged. As I remember, at one time there was an icon on the top bar that showed you how much battery life you have left, but now I don't see it. How do I get info on the percent of power I have left?

Jan 19, 2011

I know how to set and have set my net-book gz5 running on lucid to stay on at all times.however unlike in xubuntu I don't have the option to change when the computer is critically low.

Ubuntu :: Hangs And Freezes On Battery Power?

May 30, 2011

I'm running 11.04 on my Dell SXPS 1645. Today I unplugged my laptop from AC power a few times and after about 10 minutes, Ubuntu would hang, not responding to anything. Frozen mouse, frozen keys. The ONLY thing I could do to get it out was to do a hard hardware restart by holding down the power button.

It happened twice on Skype (and I thought it was just the buggy 2.2 beta that was hanging my beautiful OS), once while installing a printer, and once while I was just futzin around on firefox.

Fedora :: Battery Power Comes Down To 40 - 41 Percent

Mar 18, 2010

I am using Fedora 12. Prior to this I was using Ubuntu 9.10. In Fedora 12, I am facing a problem with battery power. Sometimes when it is fully charged I remove the power cord, battery power comes down to 40%-41%. It never happened with Ubuntu, which gave quite a good battery performance. My question is when it is showing Laptop Battery 100% i.e. fully charged, if I remove the cord why it comes down to 40%-41% (and always in this range).

Ubuntu / Apple :: Macbook Pro 5 - 4 Battery / Power Management

May 2, 2010

I am having several problems with what i believe to be gnome-power-management. Power management will randomly say that either i do, or don't have a battery. This means that the icon in the notification area does not appear, and I can not access the settings for on battery power. also, when i tell Ubuntu to suspend, it just goes to the screensaver and nothing happens. conky is still able to read the battery just fine, its power management thats having problems.

Ubuntu :: Huge Performance Decrease On Battery Power

Oct 23, 2010

I'm having a huge performance decrease when I'm on Battery Power. Plugged in this thing runs AMAZING, HDMI with HD video, I can run compiz 3d, full desktop advanced effects, HD video from ....., you name it. Just when I pull the cable out it slows down. I tried disabling ATI powerplay but that didnt help.

Is there a way I can toggle the performance, so that I can get "plugged in level performance" even when i'm on battery power? I'm not too bothered about how long the battery lasts. I'm usually always near an outlet.

General :: Laptop Freezes When On Battery Power

Jun 1, 2011

I've got a problem with my laptop and I finally decided to try to solve it. My computer sometimes (not everytime) freezes. It's just when I'm using battery power. I figured out that this is not connected with some specific action (e.g. some app crash), it can freeze 1 minute after start or 10 minutes, I think it's random. I've checked my /var/log/messages.log file and these are the last messages before freeze (exactly at 9:16:15):

Code:

Slackware :: HD Constantly Spinning When On Battery Power

Dec 27, 2010

I'm running the latest slackware64-current on my Dell laptop (Inspiron 1420). I rarely run it on battery power, so I don't know when this behavior started, but now it seems when I'm on battery power the hard drive likes to spin down and then spin up. This is not after 5 minutes or so of inactivity. This is 30 seconds of inactivity because I'm reading a web page or something. There is a noticable delay in the response of the system as a whole when the drive is having to spin back up. I'm also using xfce-4.6.2 with the xfce power manager. I've checked the settings, and I don't see anything about spinning down the hard drives. I've also looked through some ACPI rules, but I'm coming up empty.

Ubuntu / Apple :: 9.10 On PowerBook G4 - Power Management Not Detecting Battery?

Jan 8, 2010

I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an old PowerBook G4 I have, and when I go to Power Management, it doesn't provide the tab for battery-related settings (nor do I get the little battery/charge icon in the upper-right panel). I'm comparing this to the version of Ubuntu 9.10 I installed on my EeePC netbook, where those things are present. Is there anything I can do to get the Power Management preferences to recognize that the machine has a battery?

If it helps: the PowerBook had Ubuntu installed on it using the 9.10 "alternate" .iso, as I was having trouble burning the "desktop" .iso to a CD.

Ubuntu :: 10.02 - Login Window Lock Up In Battery Power Mode

I have a new Lenovo (thinkpad) x100e laptop. I've recently installed the new Ubuntu 10.02 distro and have found the oddest bug. If my power cord is disconnected (i.e. if I'm running off battery power) then the login window locks up. Conversely, if the power cord _is_ connected then things work as usually. (Also, trying to adjust brightness causes a crash --- but I suspect that this is not odd). Where I should put this information.
