Here are the results: Tested Mainline 3.12 (trusty): 3.12.031200-generic for i386 No change in the battery status issue - I did recognize a battery but status (plugged/unplug and % charge) didn't change when I issued the acpi command.

Also when the computer booted, I got the Could not apply stored configuation for monitors error (ended up with some bigger icons but everything else seemed to work fine). As noted before, my Ubuntu splash screen blinks some quick error in red (too quick to be able to read it) before the login screen appears. The Ubuntu splash is also just a text of Ubuntu 12.04 with small dots below it instead of the larger Ubuntu with the icon and large dots (has been like this for a while with the newer 3.5.x kernels - the older, non- mainline kernels I tested in #41 booted with the large text and icon). Doubt it's related but may be some more info. Let me know if there is anything else you want to test. My impression is that this issue may be some quirk with my 4yr old laptop and likely affects very few, if any other, people. If this becomes something that is not worth your time to continue to work on, I do understand. ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists- upstream-v3.12 ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1194563 Title: No low battery notifications and no updated battery status (ACPI Errors Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 1.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1194563] Re: No low battery notifications and no updated battery status (ACPI Errors
Bluebrave, given the extenuating circumstances the bisection process has revealed, let us skip this for now. Hence, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1194563] Re: No low battery notifications and no updated battery status (ACPI Errors
Ok. I tried doing some bisections. Here are the following kernels I attempted (all were Lucid/10.04 kernels since that's the last time I had any accurate batter info). 2.6.38-10.44 (pae)- failed, unmet repositories - no battery, no networking) 2.6.32-53.115 (pae) - no battery detected, issued acpi command and got nothing (just returned the command prompt), no networking 2.6.32-38.83 (pae) - no battery detected, issued acpi command and got nothing (just returned the command prompt), no networking 2.6.32-34.74 (pae) - no battery detected, issued acpi command and got nothing (just returned the command prompt), no networking Tried mainline builds: 2.6.32-02063242 - no battery detected, issued acpi command and got nothing (just returned the command prompt), no networking 2.6.33-02063305 - no battery detected, issued acpi command and got nothing (just returned the command prompt), no networking All these were attempted with 12.04 so it could be the older kernel conflicting w/ 12.04 (especially with networking). I would've thought one would have at least detected the battery and assume when I had 10.04, one of these Kernel's would've been on the machine and working (ie when battery status worked). Hopefully, I did a decent job of the bisect. If it helps, when I booted with the Mainline Builds, both (during the splash screen or just as it was going off) flashed an acpi error message with something about an error in region.SM00. I didn't catch the rest as it went off too fast. If that doesn't help give any other clues, it look like I'll just have to get used to being careful when I'm on battery. But thanks for all the help and sorry for how long it took me to find time to do the bisection! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1194563 Title: No low battery notifications and no updated battery status (ACPI Errors Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: 1.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1194563] Re: No low battery notifications and no updated battery status (ACPI Errors
I looked at the link and am not sure which to do (there are several bisections discussed - such as Ubuntu Releases, Kernel, etc. I think you want me to do a Ubuntu Releases bisection but I've never done that before and not sure exactly how to proceed... I think the bisection you have me download Lucid and Maverick and test them. Do I put those on the Live CD and run them (if so - I did do that earlier on post #31 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1194563/comments/31)? I noticed one difference is that the link for the releases: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ all relates to server ISOs -is that correct?

Christopher/anyone: I continue to try to troubleshoot this. As an update, I was able to install and boot Kernel v3.10.9-saucy without the Nvidia error messages.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1194563] Re: No low battery notifications and no updated battery status (ACPI Errors
Christopher/anyone interested: I keep trying different things but still no solution. Here's the latest attempt: I ran a live CD of 9.04 (Jaunty) and noticed an error during boot stating ACPI input buffer is not empty aborting transaction. The live CD didn't recognize a battery but I googled the error message and was lead to this thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/578506 (ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction) The thread suggested Kernel 3.9 may have fixed the issue. I then tried both 3.9.11 generic and 3.4.0-030400rc6-generic-pae. Both recognized the battery (did get some kind of monitor/screen resolution error and missing dependencies on boot, however) but they also would not update the battery status (on power/battery) or power level.

Gave Natty a try (also had to use the nomodeset option to boot). Still no battery status - actually worse, there was no indicator at all. I went to Power Management Preferences and noticed that there was not On Battery tab and enabling Always Display Icon only showed the AC Power icon. Basically, it appears Natty didn't recognize the battery at all. I rebooted Natty and still had the same result. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1194563 Title: No low battery notifications and no updated battery status (ACPI Errors Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: 1.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1194563] Re: No low battery notifications and no updated battery status (ACPI Errors
Addendum to previous comment: After upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04, I also noticed I would get occasional reports that an internal error occured realated to Nautilus.
