Hello Peter,

Upgrading my day-to-day computer to a pre-release does not make me feel comfortable as my upgrade from Dapper to Edgy was a nightmare ! Alternatively, if I can find an easy to cancel way to test my edgy with a new kernel version might be a good challenge for me ! To boot with ACPI=off, get to the grub menu (hit ESC when grub appears > if you are booting with menu hidden), use the arrow keys to select your > kernel, type e to edit boot parameters, use the the arrow keys to go the > end of the actual kernel line (second line). add acpi=off, hit ESC, and > type b to boot that kernel. > > Those are the extremely brief instructions, let me know if that's > unclear and I will provide a more detailed explanation off-line. Well, I feel puzzled, When I boot with acpi=off the only thing I can notice is the disappear of the /proc/acpi file tree. Therefore I noticed something that may help you : When I boot with acpi and ac power unplugged I can read something into my /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state. I will try later to see if this file evolves as battery discharges (I put the gnome-panel battery tool to try it but it sees nothing.) But when ac power is plugged a "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state" freezes my gnome-term, I can only close it. Hope it can help. -- Power manager does not see batteries https://launchpad.net/bugs/76557 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
