Public bug reported: I have an HP Split 13x2 laptop with Ubuntu Mate installed.
dmesg shows "ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery absent)". The battery icon shows "No battery present". ...I'm only able to run on AC power. --- I have tried: * Default and adjusted settings in BIOS. * Live versions of Ubuntu, Lubuntu and Ubuntu Mate. * Release 15.04 and 14.04 for all flavors above. * Installed ACPI. * Installed batmon. * Installed ibam. * Added to grub default boot line "acpi_osi=", then "acpi_osi=!Linux" then "acpi_osi=Linux". I have not tried recompiling the kernel, as several posts state the recompiling didn't work for them if not on a Toshiba. --- I'd really like to get this working...the laptop is needed for work done in areas where AC power won't always be present. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1487734 Title: Battery Absent On HP Split 13x2 Laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1487734/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
