I've tested this on my laptop with a VM that passes the ACPI status of the Host to the Guest. Even though it's not perfect, I did see a difference. When I was working with only the adapter attached, it acted as if it was a PC, not a laptop. That's not a bug or anything, just the way the ACPI is send to the guest. But, inserting the battery didn't change a thing, after rebooting the VM (not a virtual power cycle which would involve the VM to be shut down and started again), the battery was detected and shown properly. I let the battery charge to 100%, removed the adapter, let it sit for a while then put it back in to charge it. When it was 100% again, my Host didn't show the icon anymore, but the VM did. Removing the battery again changed the icon on the Host (the laptop directly) and correctly showed that the battery was removed and running on adapter only. The VM kept showing the battery icon. In fact, even though it was fully charged and the icon was like that, it changed to the charging battery icon. It could have been the VM ACPI thing again, so I will check later with the live CD booted directly on the laptop.
Also, the link I posted before shows a newer version, 0.9.90. The version in Lucid is 0.8.4.2. It was released last month. -- No tray icon visible, even if set visible in preferences https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449704 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
