I am getting tired with my 11.10 dieing at little over 50 minutes of battery when at the most extreme powersaving plan.

I am also waiting for this patch to be confirmed by Canonical. This battery/overheating issue has got to be solved – Mysterio Nov 13 '11 at 23:58

Excuse me if I'm missing something, but this doesn't seem like a dupe to me. The answer below seems to suggest otherwise to me. – Knowledge Cube Nov 14 '11 at 07:16

1Please don't just ask the same question again, the patch will be published as soon as enough people test it and the kernel team is confident that it works. – Jorge Castro Nov 15 '11 at 00:06

Hopefully, the patch will make it into the 3.0.0-13 kernel update for 11.10. You can help testing.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/PowerManagement
PS: ...and if you don't want to wait, apply the relevant workarounds now. Note, some of the workarounds are only relevant for Intel GPUs.
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/linux-power-regression-overheating-problem-on-thinkpad-fixed/
Example
To add the pcie_aspm option, open /etc/default/grub for editing with
gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
find the the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=force", save and exit.
Then run sudo update-grub.
You can also verify whether Active State Power Management is enabled or not with
dmesg | grep -i aspm

Please could you edit your answer to include the relevant workarounds like where and how to tweak the Grub config? – Mysterio Nov 14 '11 at 06:29

excellent answer +1 - just to say - this AU question and answer is still relevant to oneiric for intel users - http://askubuntu.com/questions/38117/battery-life-decreased-after-upgrade-to-11-04/38194#38194 – fossfreedom Nov 14 '11 at 10:18

I'm sorry but this patch refers to the old patch Phoronix released the new patch i915.i915_rc6=1 which they claim as a fix and not a workaround. I can verify that this patch( your answer) does not solve the heating/power bug. Could you please edit your answer with the new patch PLEASE – Mysterio Nov 14 '11 at 14:42

A kernel update is due after the SRU tickets have tags changed from "testing-needed" to "testing-done" (after testing has actually been done.)
To find the SRU tickets try looking on this web page:
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html
For 11.10 switching from 3.0.0-12.20 to 3.0.0-13.22 requires verification of the following tickets:
#737388 #782389 #794642 #816484 #851697 #854399 #854468 #855239
#857297 #860868 #862583 #865171 #866021 #868628 #870127 #872711

Separate report for Kernel updates: http://status.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/kernel-bugs/reports/sru-report.html Also note the Ubuntu Kernel Mapping: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/info/kernel-version-map.html This list helps to determine which mainline version corresponds to the Ubuntu version. – lgarzo Nov 15 '11 at 10:26
