>From what I can gather, Gnome powermanager partially displays the status correctly. If you look closely, it will be sort of correct, but it still isn't really working. I believe this has something to do with how it gets its information, which includes the BATT entries in /proc/acpi. These file(s) can be used to partially determine the state of the battery but its not accurate as to when it is plugged in or not. Furthermore, it is the only program that gains its information this way, so things like powermanager (for suspend/hibernate) and Nvidia powermizer (discussed above) still do not detect mode switches correctly. It is still crucial that the flag be changed in the standard kernel configuration, as it correctly adjusts the system to generate a /proc/acpi/adapter/AC/state file, which will allow other programs to work, as well as increase the accuracy of powermanager.
Regardless, its seems as though this kernel request is being ignored, seeing as I put in the error in 9.04 far before 9.10 came out and 10.04 is already in its second beta. Oh well, until this is fixed I wont be using ubuntu - it surprises me to see how inactive the dev community is on these bug reports. *annoyed glare* -- ac adapter is not detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/412499 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
