Alex Midgley (alex-tapdancinggoats: 14) wrote on 2009-05-04: (permalink) This bug seems to have moved into acpi in Jaunty. I have a Sony Vaio VGN-CR520E, and the above fix (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/254603/comments/1) corrected the hal problem in Intrepid. However, now even acpi is always reporting that the AC adapter is plugged in. acpi -V (plugged in) Battery 0: Charging, 81%, 04:06:26 until charged Battery 0: design capacity 53280 mAh, last full capacity 50890 mAh = 95% AC Adapter 0: on-line Thermal 0: ok, 47.0 degrees C Cooling 0: LCD 0 of 8 Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 acpi -V (unplugged) Battery 0: Discharging, 81%, 02:16:47 remaining Battery 0: design capacity 53280 mAh, last full capacity 50890 mAh = 95% AC Adapter 0: on-line Thermal 0: ok, 47.0 degrees C Cooling 0: LCD 0 of 8 Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 It detects that the battery is discharging, but not that the AC adapter is off-line. Same thing from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/375260 Nick B. shows that the battery is reported as charging and discharging, but the AC adapter is not reported plugged in/out. Moving the dupes over and will investigate. This is a problem with HAL, I'll be updating the title and description with the updated information we've collected. -- [Hardy] Guidance-power-manager doesn't know when laptop is mains unplugged https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213128 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
