Christopher/anyone interested: I keep trying different things but still no solution. Here's the latest attempt:
I ran a live CD of 9.04 (Jaunty) and noticed an error during boot stating ACPI input buffer is not empty aborting transaction. The live CD didn't recognize a battery but I googled the error message and was lead to this thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/578506 (ACPI: EC: input buffer is not empty, aborting transaction) The thread suggested Kernel 3.9 may have fixed the issue. I then tried both 3.9.11 generic and 3.4.0-030400rc6-generic-pae. Both recognized the battery (did get some kind of monitor/screen resolution error and missing dependencies on boot, however) but they also would not update the battery status (on power/battery) or power level. Right now I'm using 3.5.0.37-generic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1194563 Title: No low battery notifications and no updated battery status (ACPI Errors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1194563/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
