Package: hal Version: 0.5.10+git20080301-1 Severity: important When a laptop is powered on without a battery inserted, hal does not detect the battery bay, so power managers can't suspect the computer supports a battery and consequently disabling battery-powered related options in their interface. Moreover, inserting the battery later requires a restart of the hal daemon (and of the power manager applet) to have the battery recognized. May this bug be related to the recently introduced patch to fix the reporting of two batteries, since sysfs does not provide informations about battery when it's disconnected, while /proc does (in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state)?
