[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1487734@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have an HP Split 13x2 laptop with Ubuntu Mate installed.

dmesg shows "ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery absent)".

The battery icon shows "No battery present".

...I'm only able to run on AC power.

---

I have tried:
* Default and adjusted settings in BIOS.
* Live versions of Ubuntu, Lubuntu and Ubuntu Mate.
* Release 15.04 and 14.04 for all flavors above.
* Installed ACPI.
* Installed batmon.
* Installed ibam.
* Added to grub default boot line "acpi_osi=", then "acpi_osi=!Linux" then "acpi_osi=Linux".

I have not tried recompiling the kernel, as several posts state the
recompiling didn't work for them if not on a Toshiba.

---

I'd really like to get this working...the laptop is needed for work done
in areas where AC power won't always be present.
