I found that unloading the appropriate driver on my Toshiba R-100 (Puppy Linux 4.2) cured the problem. So, I had little scripts that, for example, unloaded the Ethernet driver when I connected via WiFi, as part of going into suspend mode (and reloaded it when emerging from sleep mode), and as part of shutting down. This solved it for me, and, since I'm still running the same 2006-era kernel, I don't know if it's been fixed at the system level in later versions. -Shel -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110784 Title: Toshiba laptop battery is drained while shut down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/110784/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
