I have a couple of symptoms that make me think Ubuntu has some problems identifying all the components of my laptop (Asus N56VJ-S4051H).
- When starting the computer from the OFF status, the fan goes to full speed just after the boot manager (EFI) chose the OS. The fan stays on!
- The battery symbol in the task bar doesn't seem to recognize the battery reliably, esp. when AC power is connected as well.
- The battery indicator starts blinking once on battery and stays on.
- The battery is not being charged while the Ubuntu is running.
I didn't have these problems with Windows 8.
I had to switch to a Linux system after Windows 8 got on my nerves too much...
Could you please help me solve these issues or point me to a direction where I can find further information?
