[Bug 987460] Re: battery indicator does not show battery remaining
Ashutosh, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. As well, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream', and comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it. Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.

Hi Tuomas, it seems that your broken battery is coincidence. I reported this problem a while ago: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/889942 And it is still present in 12.04. My Laptop ran Hardy for years without this issue and I upgraded straight to 11.10, so it might also be with earlyer releases. But the kernel goes to: $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/voltage_now 14791000 $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/current_now cat: /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/current_now: Kein passendes Gerät gefunden $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/voltage_now 1000 minutes after reboot and I'm pretty shure Hardy's wouldn't, as also the other OS shows the battery just fine. The voltage_now value above is wrong, the panel showed a 100% battery whereas it was around 50% judged from runtime and the seemingly correct print with win. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987460 Title: battery indicator does not show battery remaining To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/987460/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 987460] Re: battery indicator does not show battery remaining
Seems that this is not a kernel bug after all... Sorry for wasting your time! While testing the new kernel I also decided to test with the older ones too to make sure that the problem was caused by a kernel upgrade in the first place. I tried with mainline 3.2.9, since the problem first appeared after I upgraded from ubuntu kernel 3.2.0-18.29 (based on mainline 3.2.9) to newer one. And the bug existed there too. Then I thought that maybe I just did not notice the problem earlier and tried with mainline version 3.0.20 which was the kernel that ubuntu kernel 3.0.0-16.29 (in Oneiric) was based on. Same results: bug exists. So I concluded that the problem is broken battery. It probably broke at the same time that I upgraded from 3.2.0-18.29 and therefore I made wrong conclusions then... sorry.. If Ashutosh has a similar problem, it's probably not related to my problem...

There was no 3.4.0-rc7 image, so I tried with rc6 package: linux-image-3.4.0-030400rc6-generic_3.4.0-030400rc6.201205061835_i386.deb The bug is still present there. ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987460 Title: battery indicator does not show battery remaining To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/987460/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.4kernel[1] (Not a kernel in the daily directory). Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the other tags). This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

>From the bug description: > Actually, the battery indicator does not show the battery remaining. It just > indicate it as "not present". I have this same symptom on my Acer Aspire One A110 with Ubuntu 12.04. This started after one of the latest kernel updates week or two weeks ago. So earlier 12.04 was fine, and also 11.10. Here's some intresting info from the sysfs while the panel says "not present": tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/manufacturer SIMPLO tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/model_name UM08A71 tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/technology Li-ion tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/present 1 tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_full 65532000 tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_full_design 220 tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_now cat: /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_now: No such device tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/current_now 0 tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/voltage_now 1165 tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/voltage_min_design 1110 tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/status Unknown The most interesting one is the charge_now reporting "No such device".
