[Bug 85748] Re: No support for SMAPI battery
Hi Guys, It looks like tp_smapi is available for both Hardy and the upcoming Intrepid release.

** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20 Module tp_smapi is not available anymore in Feisty, although it was in Edgy kernel, resulting in a lack of functionnality for all IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad owners. The tp_smapi kernel module exposes some features of the IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad hardware/firmware via a sysfs interface. Currently, the main implemented functionality is control of battery charging and extended battery status. The underlying hardware interfaces are SMAPI and direct access to the embedded controller. See http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi for further - Fonctionnality could alternatively be provided by thinkpad-source, but + Functionality could alternatively be provided by thinkpad-source, but this module can't be compiled with module-assistant. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20 Module tp_smapi is not available anymore in Feisty, although it was in - Edgy kernel, resulting in a lack of functionnality for all IBM/Lenovo + Edgy kernel, resulting in a lack of functionality for all IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad owners.

(I'm the author of tp_smapi.) Currently, the best way to build tp_smapi on Ubuntu is to manually override the kernel source and build paths: $ make KSRC=/foo KBUILD=/bar ... Patches to make the Makefile more Ubuntu-friendly (without breaking other distros) are very welcome. -- No support for SMAPI battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85748 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 85748] Re: No support for SMAPI battery
If you look into the Makefile, you notice it looks for kernel source in /lib/modules/$(KVER)/source, where $(KVER) is `uname -r`. So you should make a symbolic link named 'source' that links to your kernel source location. In my case: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2007-05-29 20:17 /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/source - /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20 -- No support for SMAPI battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85748 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For example ...? See my /etc/rc.local : echo 80 /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh echo 20 /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh If you plug the power when the battery is 45 % full, it won't get charged. With this setting, the battery would get charged if it's less than 20 % full.

I've done that as well (as I wanted to retain this functionality) and I would like those modules to be included in distribution as they have been before Feisty.

It seems as if there is no SMAPI support in Feisty : the module is not included in kernel-2.6.20 and module-assistant fails building thinkpad- source. -- No support for SMAPI battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85748 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

By following the directions on this page: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi for Ubuntu/Debian (and a bit of common sense) I managed to get it working.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team: 1. Please include the output of the command uname -a in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture. 2. Please run the command dmesg dmesg.log and attach the resulting file dmesg.log to this bug report. 3. Please run the command lspci -vvnn lspci-vvnn.log and attach the resulting file lspci-vvnn.log to this bug report.
