Just a quick update. I found out that Toshiba finally released a BIOS update for my notebook (Satellite M30X). For me that fixed everything. Battery-Monitor works again and the notebook doesn't shut down anymore. Other people might not be that lucky (to get a BIOS update) so I think we should still figure out what change causes laptops with broken DSDTs to shut down. The way I see it Ubuntu "thinks" the battery is empty and thus shuts the computer down.
So it should determine whether the battery-status information is of any value, before using it. -- [gutsy] notebook instantly powered off while loading ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
