[Bug 1217367] Re: E5420 Laptop freezes whilst charging and below 90% battery (approx) 13.04 12.04 10.04

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Firstly.....
Oh My God! this bug has plagued me for 2 years! 

But now I can confirm that it is fixed upstream.

I installed 3.11.0-031100rc7-generic and now the issue is completely
resolved!

The only issues I have now are related to kernel modules not being
compatible with this kernel for example vritualbox but I will tackle
this in the virtualbox forums.

Will this be the first kernel available in saucy?

Plus how to I add the tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream' to this bug?

Thanks again.

** Description changed:

  My Dell Latitude E5420 hangs when the power cord is in and the battery
  is charging and below 90%. This bug has existed in 10.04 and every
  version since. There used to be a work around:
  
  echo N> /sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll
  
  but this no longer works in raring ringtail. Also before 13.04 I was
  able to still barely use the system and perform the above command but
  now the system locks up entirely until the batter is removed.
  
  I am currently using an up to date ringtail installation.
