Package: hal
Version: 0.5.11-6
Severity: important
Hello,
I have a problem with hal on a fresh debian testing (lenny) installation on an
Acer Aspire 2012WLCi (Aspire 2010 series) notebook, because the
daemon does not notice whether an ac-adapter is plugged in or not and it always
assumes that no ac-adapter is connected. This has some bad effects
to several other packages: kpowersave shows wrong status information;
hard-drive file check is always skipped during boot-up, because the system
thinks it is on battery power; anacron daemon does not execute schedules for
the same reason...
Furthermore hal thinks that the battery charge can not exceed 70% (ACPI thinks
the same, but it adds that the battery is full after 70%)
I found out that the ACPI system correctly detects the ac-adapter and so I will
attach the output of 'acpi -V', 'lshal | grep adapter'
and 'lshal | grep battery' (the notebook-battery was fully charged according to
status LED and the notebook was connected to the ac-adapter during
the output):
pwess...@flipp:~$ acpi -V
Battery 0: Full, 70%, design capacity 4300 mAh
AC Adapter 0: on-line
Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 10
pwess...@flipp:~$ lshal | grep adapter
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_ac_adapter_ACAD'
ac_adapter.present = false (bool)
info.capabilities = {'ac_adapter'} (string list)
info.category = 'ac_adapter' (string)
info.udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_ac_adapter_ACAD' (string)
pwess...@flipp:~$ lshal | grep battery
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_BAT1'
battery.charge_level.current = 44548 (0xae04) (int)
battery.charge_level.design = 63640 (0xf898) (int)
battery.charge_level.last_full = 63640 (0xf898) (int)
battery.charge_level.percentage = 70 (0x46) (int)
battery.charge_level.rate = 0 (0x0) (int)

I hope you can help me with this misbehavior and you have a clue for this
discrepancy between ACPIs AC Adapter status and hals ac_adapter.present
variable, because it would be great to fix this problem due to the effects to
other programs (see above). I will be pleased to provide any
information you need for fixing the problem and I already want to say thanks
for helping me at this time and many thanks for the great software the
Debian community always provides!
Have a good year 2009 and many greetings from Germany,
Philipp Wessels
