[Bug 39413] Re: ubuntu doesn't notice when running on battery
My laptop model is a Compact Presario R3454. I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS. Now power manager icon states it's con AC, no matter whether is true or not. When dealing with preferences, battery tab is missing. Power manager worked fine on 8.0.4 LTS, so it seems there's some kind of regression. By now, the only way to know if battery status is through /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/* Would anyone recommend me to downgrade power management package? -- ubuntu doesn't notice when running on battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39413 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This also affects me using Dell Mini10v running Lucid alpha 2. After some recent updates, it now only shows as AC power (and runs on full power profile). Running cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state in terminal made it work and recognise it was on battery. Killing and restarting the process did not work either. This will result in reduced battery life. -- ubuntu doesn't notice when running on battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39413 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 39413] Re: ubuntu doesn't notice when running on battery
This is happening for me, too. The behaviour seems to be pretty consistently that: a) When I am running on battery power with reasonable energy, gnome- power-manager does not recognize that I am on battery. This is confirmed because when I change the power management settings to always show icon, as opposed to show icon when battery is present, the plug icon shows up -- indicating no battery but instead AC power. b) When I get to low battery, suddenly the power-manager icon reappears and the management settings kick in, including power saving features like dimming screen. Also, with a recent update, my sound has disappeared. I am not sure if this is related or not, since people seem to be suggesting this could be a HAL issue. -- ubuntu doesn't notice when running on battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39413 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 39413] Re: ubuntu doesn't notice when running on battery
There are a apparently lots of causes for this problem. One cause is the kernel not recognizing the battery properly. If that is the case, then even the acpi -V command won't show a battery. However, if that command shows a battery connected, then the problem lies with the hal - dbus - gnome-power-manager chain. My problem was the latter, and I just fixed this by sudo sysv-rc-conf -p Then going to the hal service and changing each S## level to read S99. That made the hal service start after everything else. I don't know if this has any harmful side effects, but I've booted once so far without any hiccups and now gnome-power-manager finally detects the battery properly, and even sleep/suspends/hibernates and shows the brightness applet properly. What I find strange is that I never changed this myself and the hal - dbus - gnome-power-manager communication worked fine before. The one thing I did which changed this was to restart dbus manually. Ever since I had done that, gnome-power-manager had failed to detect the battery unless I restarted the hal service. I can't imagine why doing that would have changed anything, but it did. As for the kernel problems, I can't be of any help there. That's a kernel related bug and should probably be filled under the relevant linux package. -- ubuntu doesn't notice when running on battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39413 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have been getting this bug recently as well. I am running a 1.5yr old Compaq Presario v2000 laptop. I've been using Ubuntu Gutsy since tribe 5 came out, and within the last month, after a round of updates, gnome-power-manager says I am running on AC power, with or without AC power present. Also, the battery tab has completely disappeared from the gnome-power-manager preferences gui-window, yet whenever I execute the cat /proc/acpi/battery/*/state command in a terminal, it correctly states whether the battery is charging, charged, or discharging depending on it's charge state, and AC power status. -- ubuntu doesn't notice when running on battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39413 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
