Christopher - this is beyond silly! Why on earth would you want to scatter the information around 100 individual bugs when it affects MULTIPLE USERS as you MAY HAVE NOTICED if you have read this thread at all.
On behalf of the 106 people who this issue affects, kindly let us know: - How should we proceed in order to have A SINGLE BUG the 106 users can subscribe to? We don't want to subscribe to 106 bugs and, as I am sure you can imagine, juanmanuel, who was kind enough to find solution, will definitely not want to post the same solution to 106 bug reports. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971061 Title: acpi reports battery state incorrectly Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: I have a new Samsung 9-series laptop (NP900X3B) and the battery state is detected incorrectly. Basically the state what was at the time of boot stays active all the time - regardless of the ac-adapter state. Here is output from "acpitool -a -b" in various situations: When booted with charger connected and charger is still connected: Battery #1 : charging, 47.00%, 01:00:43 AC adapter : on-line When booted with charger connected and charger is now disconnected: Battery #1 : charging, 47.00%, 01:36:59 AC adapter : off-line [The battery couldn't possibly be charging when the AC adapter is offline!] When booted with charger disconnected and charger is still disconnected: Battery #1 : discharging, 47.00%, 01:39:44 AC adapter : off-line When booted with charger disconnected and charger is now connected: Battery #1 : discharging, 47.00%, 00:53:43 AC adapter : on-line [The battery is actually charging as the AC adapter is online] The percentage and time are correctly updated when the battery is actually charging or discharging - regardless of the reported state. So the state is the only thing that is incorrect. However a number of applications make their decisions based on this state (battery monitor, jupiter, etc.) and therefore behave incorrectly. "lshal -m" doesn't report anything when I plug the charger in or out.
