[Bug 1210361] Re: [Samsung NP540U3C-A01UB] Incorrect battery/power status and missing /proc/acpi/battery

 

Hello again,

Sorry that it took too long, but I finally had a chance to try with the
development live distribution (3.10). To my surprise, the issues persist
in this versionas well! I collected and attached apport info to the
thread. So, the issues are not related to my settings and can be
replicated using recent live versions.

Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks again!

Title:
  [Samsung NP540U3C-A01UB] Incorrect battery/power status and missing
  /proc/acpi/battery

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi after the last Ubuntu upgrade, I am having these power related
  problems:

  1) the initial battery/power indicator does not change when the laptop
  is plugged/unplugged. If the laptop was on battery, the indicator
  continues to show it after I plug it in, and vice versa.

  2) Sleep never works when the lid is closed, however it can be invoked
  using  "/etc/acpi/sleep.sh" or selecting suspend from the menu.

  3) /proc/acpi/battery got disappeared

  I am attaching the following:

  - version.log
  - dmesg | grep ACPI
  - dmidecode
  - lshw
  - lscpu -vnvn
  - /proc/acpi when plugged
  - /proc/acpi when on battery
  - uname -a

  Ubuntu is my primary OS so I will appreciate any suggestions for resolving this issue. Thanks in advance!
