Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: acpi
On startup with my Acer Aspire 6930, there is no battery icon in my
system tray, nor any warning if the battery is discharging or almost
empty. It doesn't matter whether the laptop is plugged in or not, but
if it is unplugged and I don't realize it, it will discharge until empty
and shut off without offering any indication. Interestingly, when I
enter the command:
cp -r /proc/acpi /tmp
Suddenly the battery icon is back. I think this also happens if, having
been plugged in on startup, I unplug the laptop. It seems there is some
problem with ACPI? Here is some relevant messages in dmesg | grep ACPI:
