Yep, my lenovo (thinkpad e430) works great with ubuntu linux (and even plan9 (9front) and freebsd), but it annoyingly uses battery while powered off. If I leave it powered off in the closet the battery will be dead in a day. Using a macbook before led me to take battery life for granted I guess.
Edit: it's not suspended, but actually turned off. s/even//
- antsar 12y agoIs this a common problem with Lenovo, and is it a Linux-only issue? I had been considering Lenovo as an option (admittedly less so after the Superfish shenanigans), and this sounds like a major showstopper.
- juanbaez 12y agoSome laptops have a USB port always powered on for recharging other gadgets. Also check that you don't have Wake on Lan or Wake on USB and such enabled. If that's the problem you should be able to disable from the BIOS.
