Tommy_CZ, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, to provide another data point, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Xubuntu (as it would be more lighweight in comparison to Ubuntu)? ISO images are available from http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/308/builds .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: latest-bios-01-24-2012 needs-upstream-testing regression- potential ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - Battery life in Ubuntu is bad on Macbook Air + [MacBookAir4,2] Battery life in Ubuntu is 62% of OSX -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984406 Title: [MacBookAir4,2] Battery life in Ubuntu is 62% of OSX Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, I use Macbook Air 4,2 and Ubuntu 12.04 64bit and I realised, that battery life is very bad - in it's best 5 hours.... in OSX I get about 8 hours.
