You have been subscribed to a public bug: I am using Toshiba L650 X5310 laptop and noticed that its not detecting battery and hence hibernate function is not available and its not able to show the battery status. I searched and found that a lot of people are experiencing the same problem, since this needs a kernel level fix, no resolutions/wordarounds are posted anywhere. I have tried many Ubuntu versions (old and new) and all of them posses the same issue. I have even tried several other distros(Centos/Mandriva/OpenSuse) but results were the same. Here is the demsg
root@me-Satellite-L650:~# dmesg | grep batt [ 0.974257] ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery absent) root@me-Satellite-L650:~# acpi -V Adapter 0: on-line Cooling 0: LCD 0 of 7 Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 3: Processor 0 of 10 Cooling 4: Processor 0 of 10 The Laptop runs without AC power supply, it means battery is able to power-up the laptop but it does it show a status. My BIOS has been updated to the very latest version and all packages are up to-date. root@me-L650:~# cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 10.10 \n \l Additional informations has been attached with this report. *uname -a --> Linux me-Satellite-L650 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 02:41:37 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux *cat /proc/version_signature --> Ubuntu 2.6.35-24.42-generic 2.6.35.8 *dmesg has been attached as a file ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: linux-image-2.6.35-24-generic 2.6.35-24.42 Regression: No Reproducible: Yes ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-24.42-generic 2.6.35.8 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl fglrx AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
