[Bug 995794] Re: toshiba l640 battery not detected in ubuntu 12.04

 

sarath.s, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, 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>


** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Expired => Incomplete

Title:
  toshiba l640 battery not detected in ubuntu 12.04

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  acpi cannot detect my battery, so the indicator can't show me the
  status of it. Im using a "toshiba l640 ".I have tried many Ubuntu
  versions (old and new) and all of them posses the same issue.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.

  $  dmesg | grep batt
  [    0.912122] ACPI: Deprecated procfs I/F for battery is loaded, please retry with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER cleared
  [    0.912131] ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery absent)
