Title:
  Toshiba Laptop battery not being detected

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I am using Toshiba L650 X5310 laptop and noticed that its not
  detecting battery and hence hibernate function is not available and
  its not able to show the battery status. I searched and found that a
  lot of people are experiencing the same problem, since this needs a
  kernel level fix, no resolutions/wordarounds are posted anywhere. I
  have tried many Ubuntu versions (old and new) and all of them posses
  the same issue. I have even tried several other
  distros(Centos/Mandriva/OpenSuse) but results were the same. Here is
  the demsg

  root@me-Satellite-L650:~# dmesg | grep batt
  [    0.974257] ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery absent)

  root@me-Satellite-L650:~# acpi -V
  Adapter 0: on-line
  Cooling 0: LCD 0 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

  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.

  root@me-L650:~# cat /etc/issue
  Ubuntu 10.10 \n \l
