Hello, I have just started using Linux, installed the zorin 16 on 2012 Lenovo u310 with i3 processor and 4GB RAM, when I plug the charger to the unit, it still shows as discharging until I reboot the unit, then it starts charging... any advise? thanks,
Uros

You may try calibrating the battery.
Run the computer until it dies completely. Once it dies, plug it into the charger and let it fully charge without interruption (best method is to let it sit charging over night). Repeat this two or three times.
hi, even tho' this might fix the issue (I will try), it doesn't fix the problem, does it? I am very happy with the os, I am posting to have this issue fixed, not to have the obligation to work on it. These things should work out of the box 
It is a fix.
Sometimes a battery, a compass or any other device needs to be... calibrated.
With any machine, you always have the obligation to work on it. Whether a car, a chainsaw, a boat... The obligation is always yours to maintain, repair, adjust and accept responsibility of and for.
hello! I wasn' trying to be dificult, like I said, I will try! and for sure, I will post here if the battery drain will re-calibrate it... thanks!
omw to drain it, waiting for it to power off before it powers off

Calibrating this way can be tedious, so I appreciate your patience.
Mine does that too sometimes. It doesn't always display that it is charging. But, I believe it is, because the battery doesn't drain. I'm not bothered though...

hello! thanks for your suggestion and replies, the battery is charging fine now, just takes a little bit of time to change the icon and show it is charging, but i do not see that as a problem!
cheers!
