Tuxsage's instructions at http://techinterplay.com/fix-toshiba-battery-issue-linux.html work well. I upgraded my memory and I would have to repeat the process. However, there is now an upstream patch that solves it https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15707 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=87901
I applied the patch by hand (the patch command didn't work the first time, probably didn't do it correctly) and compiled the ubuntu kernel using the instructions at http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-kernel/ It works well. ** Attachment added: "ubuntu linux-image compiled with https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=87901" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/703302/+attachment/3674446/+files/linux-image-3.8.8-custom_3.8.8-custom-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/703302 Title: [Toshiba Satellite L650 X5310] battery not being detected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/703302/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
