[Bug 1133328] Re: Battery design capacity is zero

 

Christophe Schepens, could you please confirm this issue exists with the
latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains,
could you please run the following command in the development release
from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will
automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Battery design capacity is zero

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Seen on Ubuntu 12.10.

  I've a Lenovo G780 unit for which the battery design capacity is
  reported as zero. This is a brand new unit.

  In /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1 I can find the following information:

      POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=BAT1
      POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Charging
      POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1
      POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY=Unknown
      POWER_SUPPLY_CYCLE_COUNT=1491
      POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_MIN_DESIGN=1000
      POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=11820000
      POWER_SUPPLY_POWER_NOW=635500000
      POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN=0
      POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL=47520000
      POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW=36350000
      POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=
      POWER_SUPPLY_MANUFACTURER=Li-Ion
      POWER_SUPPLY_SERIAL_NUMBER=PABAS0241231

  At first, I thought that this was a battery issue, but when I use
  Windows based battery tools, I get good values for the 3 capacity
  values:

      design capacity
      last full charged capacity
      current capacity

  These 3 values are different in windows, so it's not that one of the
  capacity values is reused for one of the other values.

  This is a Ubuntu defect.
