Comment 56 for bug 467825

I wanted to throw in my two cents on this one. I am having the same problem with 12.04, but there isn't a PPA for the patch fix, so I've been stuck at 86% on my brand new battery. I had a feeling this issue didn't have to do with ACPI. Is there any way someone could get a patch worked up for 12.04? It would help me out so much. This laptop is my daily driver at my clinicals this summer, and being able to make my battery last is very important to me. Thanks - K
