I have an ASUS-UX305F zenbook. Everything was working fine with Windows 10 until I recently installed KDE 16.10 (I removed Windows 10, so it is not a dual boot) and now I can't properly charge my laptop:
mat@matlaptop:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.10
Release: 16.10
Codename: yakkety
The only way I can charge it is:
- by holding the power button until my laptop shutdowns (a regular
shutdown doesn't help) - when the laptop is in suspended mode (e.g. by running
systemctl suspend
)
If my laptop is active and I plug the charger in the led that indicates if the battery is charging starts to blink a few times than it turns off. This is what the power command returns (while the charger is plugged):
mat@matlaptop:~$ upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0

Is there any way to fix this?
EDIT:
The baterry also charges when the laptop is in suspend mode (systemctl suspend
)!
As requested by @ElderGeek, here is the output from the grep ACPI /var/log/syslog
command.

The charger was broken. I just bought a new one and everything works fine now. Thank you.
