[Bug 629258] Re: Battery life estimation never comes around

2010-11-29 Thread Philip Guyton
I have just come across this problem again with another machine (my
previous post #107 was concerning a Compaq Presario A900 (bios f.33) )

This time it is with an HP Pavilion dv8000.
again whilst on battery:-
cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/current_now
0
so no drain info available so this time I installed Andy Eyre's libupower-glib1 
and upower from Brian Rogers hand ppa and the system now has working estimates 
of discharge and charge.

Thanks Andy and Brian.

[Bug 629258] Re: Battery life estimation never comes around

2010-11-03 Thread Philip Guyton
I have this Laptop battery (estimating..) on battery left click.
Doesn't change - 
Compaq Presario A900 (bios f.33)

whilst on battery
cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/current_now 
0
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state 
present: yes
capacity state:  ok
charging state:  discharging
present rate:0 mW
remaining capacity:  3422 mWh
present voltage: 10800 mV

So same situation where no current rate is given.
But graphic bat OK and % reading in  power stats details tab.
I haven't tried ppa:brian-rogers/power yet but thanks to Andy Eyre and Brian 
Rogers for the option.
As it is a client machine and non crucial bug I am reluctant to modify from 
vanilla much.

[Bug 491483] Re: Since failsafe-x was enabled in karmic it starts if gdm is disabled and kdm is used. (low graphics mode error)

2009-12-08 Thread Philip Guyton
I also have just tried out the proposed gdm fix and am all up and
running again.  Thanks to all who have helped with this one.  My
situation was Ubuntu install where I added kubuntu-desktop and chose
kdm, hence gdm and kdm co-resident.  As laptop had intel graphics I got
as others with intel graphics have commented only garbled console and no
X.  Initial workaround for me was to remove the splash option in grub
interactively.  But now all working fine.  Thanks again.
