UPDATE: after committing some further research, I discovered other Linux distro's also suffer from this bug. Turns out HP's BIOS is locked and users are unable to let it report battery statuses to non-Windows operating systems.
A possible solution is using the distro without the battery indicator, and plug in the charger based on the side LED which starts to blink at 10%. Another option I used is enable WSL with a GUI or working with virtualization. This way, the battery status can be checked through Windows. Waiting for an official response from HP, as a reaction to several complaints from their customers, or a BIOS update enabling the ability of battery status reporting. Until then, I will use WSL as temporary workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1909133 Title: HP laptop battery is not recognized or correctly managed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/1909133/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
