It seems that this problem only happens when ACPI is disabled (on my laptop, ACPI is automatically disabled which is a bug by itself). Starting the laptop with acpi=force causes the battery to be detected, and the energy dialog then displays four checkboxes.
The output of lshal with ACPI disabled is attached (booted from the Feisty beta Live CD, without any special kernel options except for localization). Two things seem to be broken: - HAL doesn't detect the battery without ACPI (even though the 'apm' command shows "On-line, battery status high: 100% (3:20:00)") - the energy settings dialog somehow doesn't cope with the devices detected by HAL when ACPI is disabled; at least it checks a wrong (invisible) checkbox. ** Attachment added: "Output of lshal when ACPI is disabled" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7344587/lshal.out -- Energy management dialog displays unchecked radiobox group https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97534 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
