[Bug 30038] SmartBattery load level not shown
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30038 Comment: Presumably these 3000 series laptops have working battery status under Windows. Do we know how Windows manages that despite a broken DSDT and the lack of the smartbattery alternative? At some point, we have to answer the user's question So why does it work in Windows? -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30038 Comment: The 3000 series don't have smart batteries, they just have buggy DSDTs. Regardless, this should be fixed in the next kernel release. I'm closing this since the original bug (smart batteries are unsupported) is fixed. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 30038] SmartBattery load level not shown
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30038 Comment: Now computer knows when AC is unplugged, but on unplug shuts down computer. After 'sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade', a new icon appeared on gnome panel: Power Manager 2.13.5. Now I have linux 2.6.15-15, gnome-applets 2.13.3-0ubuntu1 and hal 0.5.6-1ubuntu3. The yellow hoverbox shows if AC is plugged or not. If AC is unplugged, computer shuts down in less than half a minute. Battery level is still always 0% though. I assume that the shutdown is result of battery being in critical (5%) state according to mistaken 0% measurement. The power manager seems nice, I hope my machine will suspend-to-ram S3 some day too. All these changes seem promising, looking forward to a working battery meter. Are there any command outputs I could get on 3004WTMi that would help fixing the smartbattery? -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30038 Comment: Gnome battery meter does not know if AC is plugged or not, but power manager knows it. Shutdown on battery critical can be disabled in power manager preferences, but the default should be to not shut down computer - otherwise all smart battery computers are practically unusable with default configuration. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 30038] SmartBattery load level not shown
Public bug reported: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30038 Affects: gnome-applets (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: Gnome Battery Charge Monitor does not show battery load level with SmartBatteries. SmartBatteries use i2c for reporting load level. SmartBatteries work on Windows XP. Because they work on Windows, it is unlikely that laptop manufacturer would ever fix the old ACPI interface in the DSDT. I have tested this with both 5.10 Breezy Badger and Dapper Flight #3 with updates on Acer Travelmate 3000 (3004WTMi). http://www.iki.fi/karvinen/acer_travelmate_3004wtmi_with_linux.html The same problem is reported to exist, for example, on Acer Aspire 1684WLMi. In #20466: ACPI-EC is already in the kernel. So you just need the program to read this. https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/20466 About Smart Batteries and SMBus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Battery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMBus -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
