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/unplug the power source and the battery icon would not change status). I also left the computer on battery for a while and time/percentage did not change when I clicked on the battery or "power settings". I wasn't able to try acpi as it was not included in the live CD boot. Note: On the 11.10 CD boot, I had to enable the nomodeset boot option, otherwise it would only boot to the blank purple screen with no drum beat start sound or icons/menus. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1194563 Title: No low battery notifications and no updated battery status (ACPI Errors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1194563/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
