Christopher/anyone:
I continue to try to troubleshoot this. As an update, I was able to
install and boot Kernel v3.10.9-saucy without the Nvidia error
messages. The battery issue persisted in the kernel version, however.
I will add the "kernel-bug-exists-upstream" tag.
Note: I did also test v3
I looked at the link and am not sure which to do (there are several
bisections discussed - such as Ubuntu Releases, Kernel, etc. I think
you want me to do a Ubuntu Releases bisection but I've never done that
before and not sure exactly how to proceed...
I think the bisection you have me download
Christopher/anyone interested:
I keep trying different things but still no solution. Here's the latest
attempt:
I ran a live CD of 9.04 (Jaunty) and noticed an error during boot
stating ACPI input buffer is not empty aborting transaction. The live
CD didn't recognize a battery but I googled the
Addendum to previous comment:
After upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04, I also noticed I would get occasional
reports that an internal error occured realated to Nautilus. It never
really affected anything (apparently, apport is known to be a bit
overzealous at times). I don't think it should be linked to
Sorry on the crash report - I was only posting it in case it could be
related to the current problem (my intent was not to introduce a new
issue). Evidently, the crashes are not influencing the battery status
problem.
I ran the CD with 11.10 (Oneiric) and it also had the same issue (I
could plug/
Gave Natty a try (also had to use the "nomodeset" option to boot).
Still no battery status - actually worse, there was no indicator at all.
I went to Power Management Preferences and noticed that there was not
"On Battery" tab and enabling "Always Display Icon" only showed the AC

Ugh. I downloaded and tested the ISOs for Maverick and Lucid (10.04.4
version) and was met with the same results I had with Natty (also had to
use nomodeset to boot). Neither recognized the battery (including a
boot to Lucid on battery only). I know for certain when I had Lucid,
the battery was

Saucy had the same issues as Precise with one exception:
Saucy, like Precise did recognize the battery on boot but would not
update status (icon etc wouldn't change when I plugged in AC power) and,
when on battery, charge amount/time was not updated. I would, thus,
assume that I wo
For what it's worth: I tried Linux Mint 15 MATE (on CD boot using
"compatibility mode") and it recognized the battery and also recognized
if the battery was charging or discharging (Precise does not change this
status in "Power Statistics"). BUT it also did not update the battery
charge status (st
Ok. I tried doing some bisections. Here are the following kernels I
attempted (all were Lucid/10.04 kernels since that's the last time I had
any accurate batter info).
2.6.38-10.44 (pae)- failed, unmet repositories - no battery, no networking)
2.6.32-53.115 (pae) - no battery detected, issued ac
Here are the results:
Tested Mainline 3.12 (trusty): 3.12.031200-generic for i386
No change in the battery status issue - I did recognize a battery but
status (plugged/unplug and % charge) didn't change when I issued the
acpi command.
