Title:
  acpi fails to detect reconnected ac adapter Acer c710 kubuntu 14.10

Status in upower package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  acpi fails to detect reconnected ac adapter Acer c710 running kubuntu
  14.10. To reproduce: Start running on AC adapter - power is sourced
  from AC adapter. Disconnect AC adapter and then it runs on battery.
  Reconnect AC adapter and laptop continues running on battery until
  they battery runs out and system shuts down. Problem is that software
  fails to detect AC adapter after reconnection.

  Command 'fwts ac_adapter' reports 4 fails (i..e. each of its four
  tests failed.)

  After AC adapter is reconnected in above:

  'acpi -i' reports:
  Battery 0: Discharging, 20%, 00:49:33 remaining
  Battery 0: design capacity 2500 mAh, last full capacity 2241 mAh = 89%

  'upower -d' output includes:
  /org/frfeedesktop/Upower/devices/line_power_AC
  ...
  line-power online: no

  Daemon:
  ...
    on-battery: yes

  The only way to get  AC Adapter to charge battery is to power the system down. At that point, the LED indicator shows the AC Adapter is then charging battery. The system can also then be immediately restarted and the connected AC adapter will supply power. After rebooting, while still on AC Adapter:

  'acpi -i' reports:
  Battery 0: Charging, 19%, 01:31:52 until charged
  Battery 0: design capacity 2500 mAh, last full capacity 2241 mAh = 89%

  'upower -d' output includes:
  /org/frfeedesktop/Upower/devices/line_power_AC
  ...
  line-power online: yes

  /org/freedesktop/Upower/devices/battery_BATX
  ...
    battery
    ...
       state: charging

  Daemon:
  ...
  on-battery: no

  running 'fwts ac_adapter'
  (with AC adapter still connected from powerup) gives the following (my actions are in brackets):
  ==== Make sure laptop is still connected to the mains power . ====
  Press <Enter> to continue
  (I press enter)
  ==== Please unplug the laptop power. ====
  (I unplug it. Charging light stays on until 20 second countdown ends. Then the charging light goes out,
  there is a beep, the please reconnect line shown below is typed by the program, and it then goes right
  to the command line prompt without reporting the test results.)
  ==== Please re-connect the laptop power. ====
  command line prompt>
