Thanks for this info! Here is what I have found out.
1. Under 'System > Preferences > Power Management' can you see an 'On Battery
Power' tab?
No, no On Battery Power tab shows.
2. Is there any suggestion of a problem in the '/var/log/acpid' file after a
fresh reboot? Search for the term 'battery'.
No, here is the log report:
cat /var/log/acpid
[Fri Oct 24 11:12:58 2008] logfile reopened
[Fri Oct 24 14:38:47 2008] exiting
Seems as though this is not even starting up, this was after a reboot.
3. Please attach the output of the following command which details your
battery in it's current state.
cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT*/* > proc_acpi_battery_BAT.txt
seems as though I can only attach one file, so I cat'ed the output of
that text file here:
cat proc_acpi_battery_BAT.txt
present: no
present: no
present: no
4. Please give the output of the following command in each of these
situation, look for the differences:
* with AC power connected and battery removed
* with AC power connected and battery present
* with no AC power and battery present
cat /proc/acpi/battery/*/state
I did this with the 2 and 3 but not the first. Both gave me
present: no
After checking out the workarounds link, it doesn't look like something
that I really care to follow. My battery was detected in Hardy, you
will see from my computer info, that I'm working on some very new
hardware, and doubt that my BIOS needs upgrading, and am not ready to
jump into that as of yet. So I skipped that and went to the second
workaround which gives me this:
sudo rmmod acpi_sbs
[sudo] password for #####:
ERROR: Module acpi_sbs does not exist in /proc/modules
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp$ sudo rmmod battery
ERROR: Module battery is in use
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp$ sudo modprobe battery
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp$ sudo acpi -V
AC Adapter 0: on-line
Thermal 0: ok, 57.0 degrees C
Cooling 0: LCD 0 of 7
Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 3
Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10
Awaiting the next step.
