Nope, no change with acpi_apic_instance=2 Also, I googled for this problem (because I booted to a Live session and didn't have the bug number at hand) and it turns out the problem occurs with at least 2 or 3 U9200s out there (see bug #270123) - it's actually a known DSDT bug. Funny I never ran into it until now because KDE's power utilities reported correct state :) The solution proposed in that bug thread is in comment #34 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/270123/comments/34> and involves: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/LaptopTestingTeam/Old/FujitsuEsprimoU9200 - scroll down to battery problems and fix, and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1341580 - patching DSDT in Karmic+ Marking this bug duplicate and off to try the solution. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 270123 Wrong battery status -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919725 Title: Wrong battery charging state in /proc/acpi/battery To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/919725/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
