Casey Marshall, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (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-3.16-rc7 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. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER 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 ** Tags removed: bios-outdated-2.61 ** Tags added: latest-bios-2.61 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu.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/1350620 Title: [Lenovo Thinkpad X230] Rapidly increasing Load_Cycle_Count on battery Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When running my Thinkpad x230 on battery, the Load_Cycle_Count increases at a high rate: about 10-15 load cycles per minute. I discovered this issue in a quiet room, where I could hear the clicks (or "death rattle", as I've come to think of them). The following commands will stop the load cycle problem: sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda However, it is difficult to keep the system from reverting back to the load cycle problem. Steps to reproduce: 1. Boot the laptop on AC, then unplug the power. In a quiet room, you can hear the clicks begin soon after you unplug. 2. Boot the laptop on battery. Even with "apm = 255" uncommented in /etc/hdparm.conf, the laptop will burn through the load cycles until I manually perform the hdparm command. I had limited results with an upstart job that did the hdparm command -- but it wasn't a complete, reliable solution. It didn't catch the AC-to-battery power transition, for example. As a result of this issue, my hard drive is probably going to meet an early demise: 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0012 090 090 000 Old_age Always - 107908 Please help- Casey ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic 3.13.0-32.57 [modified: boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-32.57-generic 3.13.11.4 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-32-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: cmars 2565 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Wed Jul 30 19:00:13 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-07-29 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140723) MachineType: LENOVO 2306CTO ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic root=UUID=fac0754b-bf8e-424a-9485-c1ea9825152f ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.13.0-32-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.13.0-32-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.127.5 RfKill: 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no SourcePackage: linux UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 07/09/2013 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: G2ET95WW (2.55 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 2306CTO dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Defined dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrG2ET95WW(2.55):bd07/09/2013:svnLENOVO:pn2306CTO:pvrThinkPadX230:rvnLENOVO:rn2306CTO:rvrNotDefined:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 2306CTO dmi.product.version: ThinkPad X230 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1350620/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
