Perfect, I'm writing 10 minutes later without acpi=off in the grub. But I have the steps: * change to edgy repositories * sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list * change dapper to edgy in the file * sudo apt-get update Ok, is the same.
use Synaptic to upgrade or install the next: linux-386 (is version 2.6.17-9) linux-image-2.6.17-10-386 (yes, is -10 and for 386, my synaptic say that the 686 is obsolete and only upgrade no install) linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-386, this install too the linux-restricted-modules-common I install all, and now edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst and view that the kernel 2.6.17 have NOT the acpi=off option, and the kernel old YES have acpi=off (you can run the old kernel if all fail) Now reboot and: * Change sources.list back to Dapper * sudo apt-get update Perfect, I have installed GkrellM and I view the battery state perfectly (before without acpi was impossible detect the battery level, in a laptop that is very important) Thanks you. -- ACPI-0517: ****Error Method parse/execudion failed https://launchpad.net/bugs/48556 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
