i experience this issue INTERMITTENTLY on my HP dv6599ea (dv6000 series basically). when it decides to exhibit the behaviour i have discovered that issuing the command
cat /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/state gives the response: state: off-line or: state: on-line depending on what the case may be, but the act of issuing the command causes gnome or hal or guidance-power-manager (or whatever the source of the issue is) is become aware of the proper state, and make all the proper display, and power adjustments. i find this strange (and certainly beyond my understanding of the OS), and just thought i would let you know in case it helps; apologies if it doesn't. when the problem is there, it is precisely as described in the initial description of the bug at the top of this report. only deviation is that i am not using kde, i am using gnome(ubuntu jaunty): uname -a Linux orion 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux gnome version as per the attached .png. many thanks for all efforts. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot-System Monitor.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28004681/Screenshot-System%20Monitor.png -- [Master] hal/acpi incorrectly reports AC adapter state https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213128 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
