Yes, it looks like HAL bug, as kernel does seem to report properly in /proc/acpi the battery and lid, but they do not get listed in HAL. Changing package to hal.
** Changed in: kde-guidance (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: kde-guidance => hal -- no battery/lid reported on ASUSTeK M6Ne https://launchpad.net/bugs/64838 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
