It's Ubuntu, not Ubunto (pronounced oo-boon-too)

Asus has worked directly with Microsoft so that their ACPI spec is used in Windows. Unfortunately the same love has not been given to Linux.

This may help. I suggest you report a bug with:

ubuntu-bug acpi

Ubuntu developers are working hard to improve the power savings for the up and coming 12.04 LTS release. The following may be of use: http://smackerelofopinion.blogspot.com/2012/01/improving-battery-life-in-ubuntu.html

Can you help with this problem?
