Perhaps the problem for Dell L400 anyway is that the kernel acpi is misidentifying the battery slots? Under /proc/acpi/battery/ I have BAT1, and no BAT0. Restart of hald shows:
Nov 23 10:26:21 itybity NetworkManager: <debug> [1195842381.209004] nm_hal_device_added(): New device added (hal udi is '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_BAT1').

So perhaps it's correct when it reports 'present: no' /djs -- A/C Status, CPU Temp, and Battery no longer recognized as present after upgrade to Gutsy in Dell Latitude L400 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127773 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
