Hello,
I know my English is not very well, but I have a problem nad need your help.
I installed xp professional and ubuntu 9.04 at my HP nc6220 yesterday and I have the problem that it says accu 97 % and the PSU is plugged in he says that in information bar but doesn't load the battery.
Before the installation i had just windows xp and everything worked.
maybe a small driver can fix the problem.
Would be happy if both OS would work on my laptop.
So please try to help me because i want to use mxy notebook also on tour and not only at a powerpoint.
Tank you very much
Hope of your answer.
FC 10 runs FC 11 issues both from upgrade 10-11 and install.
