I am experiencing something very similar on my macbook core2 duo, using feisty. Everything was good but after the 17th of February update Ubuntu does not detect my machine as a laptop. What is happening:
1. gnome-power-preferences just show me AC power tab options. 2. battery charge monitor applet loads and show correct battery status but says it is using Legacy (non hal) backend. 3. cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state and info seems pretty good. so it seems that hal does not detect battery and everyone that just can use hal behave according to this fact. How may I check why hal is misbehaving? -- ubuntu doesn't notice when running on battery https://launchpad.net/bugs/39413 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
