I am sure you have noticed when working on a laptop, you take out the adapter an immediately you get a battery almost empty message-box. well this is a guide to fix just that.
First thing to do is, open up gnome-terminal, copy paste this in gnome-terminal sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
, if you did that, find the following line of code GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
and replace it whit this line of code: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=force"
then run sudo update-grub
in the gnome-terminal, and reboot you computer.
