Thank you for your understanding. Marking Triaged as newest mainline tested and check for regression in Lucid+. ** Tags removed: kernel-bug-exists-upstream-v3.8-rc4 needs-upstream-testing ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-v3.8-rc6 ** Description changed: acpi cannot detect my battery, so the indicator can't show me the status of it. Im using a "toshiba l640 ".I have tried many Ubuntu versions (old and new) and all of them posses the same issue.The Laptop runs without AC power supply, it means battery is able to power-up the laptop but it does it show a status. My BIOS has been updated to the very latest version and all packages are up to-date. $ dmesg | grep batt [ 0.912122] ACPI: Deprecated procfs I/F for battery is loaded, please retry with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER cleared [ 0.912131] ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery absent) [ 0.912160] ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery absent) $ acpi -V Adapter 0: on-line Cooling 0: LCD 7 of 7 Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 3: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 4: Processor 0 of 10 $cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 12.04 LTS \n \l + + WORKAROUND: http://techinterplay.com/fix-toshiba-battery-issue- + linux.html some times this does not show status correctly.
