Re: [Bug 971061] Re: acpi reports battery state incorrectly
Hi, What do you mean by there hasn't been any activity in it recently? Have you checked the comments? One person actually found a workaround after almost 2 years. There has been a ton of happy comments on that. But for myself - I am not using the laptop nor Ubuntu anymore, so I cannot confirm anything about it. But if you check the comments then it is quite obvious that the problem is still there and there is a small program that you can use for a workaround.

Re: [Bug 971061] Re: acpi reports battery state incorrectly
Hello, I am affected by this bug since, a couple of years (same laptop here, 530U). I have personally experienced it on my laptop on multiple Linux distributions (including Debian and Arch). I perfectly understand your policies, but I do not really see the rationale behind closing the bug with WONTFIX and asking a lot of people to open a lot of new bugs to signal the very same thing. For me, the bug is indeed solved by the juanmanuel's userspace program (thanks a lot!) I've been running that program since it was posted on this thread, and it works like a charm. The bug is also clearly described upstream on the kernel Bugzilla, where juanmanuel's solution is being turned into a kernel patch, so an upstream fix is likely to be on the way. I hope you'll find a way to put in evidence the relevant information, especially when there will be 100 opened issues for this SINGLE problem (or 100 issues immediately closed as duplicates???): this is clearly a SINGLE bug with a SINGLE reference to a SINGLE upstream issue. From my side, I am *not* going to open another bug just to increase the Internet entropy (and reduce the likelihood for someone searching about the problem to find the workaround)... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971061 Title: acpi reports battery state incorrectly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/971061/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this works on a Samsung NP900x4c.
The same EC port range in DSDT.
Great work! Thanks a lot.

FINALLY!! I found the exact problem _and_ a SOLUTION!!! (NOTE: see
attached program)
The problem is that Samsung's embedded controller stops sending GPE
events if it still is waiting for previous GPE events to be queried from
it.
It will remain in that state until one hits the reset hole in the back
of the latop, or flashes a bios, or queries the events.
--- But how will the OS query the events if the GPE interrupt isn't
produced anymore? Classic chicken and egg.
So I made a small program that does just that -- it queries events from
the EC until there are no more to query. AND IT WORKED!! This restores
the normal behavior, and AC, Battery and LID events start to be produced
again. One would ideally run it after resume from sleep. I based it
after observing normal behavior in linuxkernel/drivers/acpi/ec.c, and
afterwards behaviour with laptop in problem state.
Following is the program (I will attach it too). You can either:
1) Run it by hand after resume from sleep.
2) Or Automatically run it from /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99-your-
script-here (you can use 95led as basis).
3) Or Insert this code in the linux kernel at the beginning of the
acpi_ec_unblock_transactions_early() function in
linuxkernel/drivers/acpi/ec.c and recompile the kernel. The cmd and
data ports are known in ec.c so they don't need to be hardcoded there.
PS: Other things that I already tried that didn't fix it:
1) Please note that I already tried commenting acpi_disable_all_gpes()
from linuxkernel/drivers/acpi/sleep.c and this didn't have an effect (I
guess unreplied events were already accumulated in the EC prior to resume).
2) I also tried reverting to calling acpi_enable() on sleep.c instead of
setting the ACPI_BITREG_SCI_ENABLE. No effect, issue still resurfaced after
some suspends.
3) I also tried commenting out the call to
acpi_ec_unblock_transactions_early() in sleep.c, but no effect.
PS2: Another way to force the embedded controller to be in a problem state
that I discovered, is to:
1) echo disable /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe17
2) plug, unplug, plug, unplug, plug, unplug, plug, unplug (8 actions)
3) echo enable /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe17

Re: [Bug 971061] Re: acpi reports battery state incorrectly
Hi @macko, I can tell you some info about my hardware. But unfortunately, building the MEI stuff into the kernel has not fixed the problem: after ~7 days of use, it came back, just as you said. What is your exact model? (mine is NP900X4C-A02CH) The exactly model is NP530U3C-AD5-BR Did you have the most recent firmware before the process? (mine is P07ABK although according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SamsungBIOS there is a more recent version) The firmware version is P09ABH. It was the most recent version at the moment when I've installed Linux (about 5 months ago), and I can't check for a newer version because I need the samsung update tool, that only runs on Windows. Can you spot any problems in the process? Or do you have any comments that may help me? Thanks in advance. I didn't find any problems in the process.

I compiled a 3.12.1 vanilla kernel, and set the INTEL_MEI and INTEL_MEI_ME to be compiled into the kernel. I also pressed the reset power button, under the laptop for 15 secs. LID CLOSE working. Switch to AC or Battery working. LID OPEN not working properly (it's not detected). It's still working now, 5 day after the above steps. NOTE: If you change the LID CLOSE/OPEN settings in gnome-tweak-tool, everything will stop to work, and you'll need to use the reset power button again.

Re: [Bug 971061] Re: acpi reports battery state incorrectly
Yes and I think is the suspension act that screw it again.. At least overnight crackheads do it on mine maybe is a resume hook..

Re: [Bug 971061] Re: acpi reports battery state incorrectly
The OS kernel log all the events. The first time also the LID (that generally need 10 sec to trigger the status change when work) is logged almost instantly. I can have log in dmesg and acpid. 2012/10/12 Erik Schindler erik.schind...@gmx.net I can confirm you that if you push the reset button on bottom of the laptop with a needle (laptop unpowered, than use the power cord to start it otherwhise will not start) the next boot all the ACPI events are logged perfectly; all is run wanderfully untill some events that screw up again the ACPI/BIOS stuff. Is the installed OS affected by this workaround or only BIOS configuration? -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971061 Title: acpi reports battery state incorrectly Status in “acpi” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a new Samsung 9-series laptop (NP900X3B) and the battery state is detected incorrectly.

Also for me, things worked well (both lid and power status) during the first weeks of life of the laptop (a Series 5 Ultrabook). Yesterday, after updating the BIOS I tested power connect/disconnect recognition in both Windows and Ubuntu 12.04 and suspend on lid closure. Everything worked fine. Then, in Ubuntu 12.04, I suspended the system over night. Next morning, lid closurefails to be recognised by Ubuntu. Power connect/disconnect fails to be acted upon properly by Ubuntu. In Windows, lid closure still fails but power connect/disconnect still recognised - but it takes several seconds rather than being almost instantaneous when all was well the night before. I found that /sys/class/power_supply/ADP1/online (the status of the power adapter) gets updated correctly, while the battery status (charging/discharging), as found in /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/status is frozen in the status after power on / resume after suspend. So MAYBE in Windows power connect/disconnect is triggered by power adapter changing status instead than by battery. I worked around this problem by applying an ugly patch to upowerd so that power status change is triggered also by power adapter... and that works acceptably for now. Lid closure, instead, is completely broken also if suspend works well. Can't test in Windows as I wiped out the windows partition ;) Very infuriating!... is this Ubuntu corrupting things in the BIOS or is the BIOS somehow corrupting itself with respect to ACPI. I noticed the problem after starting up erroneously the recovery partition. This messed up with the MBR and Grub, so I had to recover Grub booting from an USB disk, and from that moment I noticed the problem...
