The article attributes the issue to kernel 4.4 and reports that upgrading to kernel 4.5 resolved it. ### Source excerpt I recently installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus on my Thinkpad E550. I honestly regretted it not just because it doesn't support AMD proprietary fglrx driver aka AMD Catalyst or AMD Radeon Software but because the suspend feature stopped working. I initially thought that this had something to do with video drivers that I had installed on Ubuntu 15.10 which were now incompatible with 16.04. I realized that this was not the case as the issue persisted even on opensource drivers that it is compatible with. Also on a closer observation I realized that it was not that my system was not able to wake up from suspend, but that it was not able to suspend at all. On suspending, the screen would go off but my laptop kept running, heating up and draining battery. This problem existed when I hibernate or shutdown as well. Now the only possible reason for this is some problem in acpi which is not letting my system to suspend. Ubuntu 16.04 is shipped with kernel 4.4. A quick search on this issue on kernel 4.4 made me realize that this exists across several destros and mostly on thinkpads. So I upgraded to kernel 4.5 and the problem is resolved. Installing kernel 4.5 32 bit 64bit Then reboot! ## Tweaking ASUS Zenbook UX305CA on Linux DevFeed: [Tweaking ASUS Zenbook UX305CA on Linux]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Tom Published: 2016-04-21T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Tomasz Gągor]() Topics: [ASUS](), [Linux](), [Ubuntu](), [configuration](), [Kernel](), [Filesystems](), [cpu](), [VLC]() Tags: [asus](), [battery](), [benchmark](), [configuration](), [cpu](), [debian](), [filesystems](), [grub](), [hardware](), [kernel](), [laptop](), [linux](), [performance](), [remote-work](), [thinkpad](), [ubuntu](), [update]() ### AI overview A practical account of configuring an ASUS Zenbook UX305CA running Ubuntu 16.04, covering SSD filesystems, swap, CPU and battery power management, touchpad behavior, and video acceleration with VD-PAU and VA-API. ### Source excerpt Lately I was searching for mobile notebook that I could use for remote work. I checked f ThinkPad series but they were huge bricks that have nothing in common with 'mobile' word. Then I saw ASUS Zenbook that I didn't take into account before and it was exactly what I was searching for. Configuration of Skylake based notebook right now is not straightforward - there are still glitches and small bugs that are waiting to be fixed. I want to sum up what I've done after installation. I started with fresh Ubuntu 16.04 to get Debian based distro with possibly latest kernel and patches. ## Lenovo ThinkPad battery calibration issue resolved by temporarily setting TLP charge thresholds to 100% DevFeed: [Lenovo ThinkPad battery calibration issue resolved by temporarily setting TLP charge thresholds to 100%]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Suresh Alse (noreply@blogger.com) Published: 2015-09-09T06:49:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Life Plus Linux]() Topics: [bug](), [Linux](), [Utility Software]() Tags: [battery](), [bug](), [laptop](), [lenovo](), [linux](), [power-management](), [thinkpad]() ### AI overview A personal Linux troubleshooting tutorial for a Lenovo ThinkPad whose battery indicator dropped from 30% to 6%. The author reports that temporarily setting TLP charge thresholds to 100%, restarting, and charging for almost a day corrected the observed calibration issue. ### Source excerpt My brand new Lenovo Thinkpad is a beast and is supposed to give up to 8hrs of battery backup. But there was a weird problem. As soon as the battery remaining reached 30%, it used to drop to 6% in a second. When I looked up on google, I found out that I was not the only one facing this problem. Most of them suggested that my battery was shot and that I had to buy a new one. This is highly improbable as it is brand new. I wanted to give fixing it a try before contacting customer care. And I was successful! Before - See the battery percentage drop from 30% to 6% For some reason, I suspected that it was somehow TLP's fault. TLP is the best power management utility for Thinkpad in Linux. It allows you to set max charging threshold so that you will be able to connect your laptop to the plug point without worrying about over charging (among many other features it provides). I felt that it is because of this, battery calibration was getting screwed up. So I set the maximum threshold to 100%. Open /etc/default/tlp and set following variables. START_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0=100 STOP_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0=100 Then I restarted my laptop to bring this to effect. As the calibration was already offset by a great extent, the only way to fix it was to keep it charged for a long time. I kept it charging for almost a day. After - Fixed! Then to test it I kept discharging it. And to my surprise, it didn't drop from 30% to 6% this time!! So the problem was with calibration and not because the battery is broken. If you face this problem, you can try this solution once before you spend $$$ on buying a new battery. Now that I have changed the battery threshold back to 85%, if this problem occurs again, all I have to do is follow the above steps. ## Using Ekiga softphone on Ubuntu Linux on a Thinkpad DevFeed: [Using Ekiga softphone on Ubuntu Linux on a Thinkpad]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Graham King Published: 2008-07-16T23:19:48Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Graham King]() Topics: [Ubuntu](), [Linux]() Tags: [linux](), [misc](), [software](), [thinkpad](), [ubuntu]() ### AI overview A practical guide to using the Ekiga softphone on Ubuntu Linux with a ThinkPad.
