I've managed to trick Ubuntu 7.10 to activate batttery mode (laptop mode and all the scripts) by doing this
$ gedit battery.sh --- cut here --- sudo su -c "echo AC > /var/lib/acpi-support/powerstate" sudo /etc/acpi/power.sh sudo su -c "echo BATTERY > /var/lib/acpi-support/powerstate" --- cut here --- save & exit $ chmod +x battery.sh Now every time I know I'm running on battery and Ubuntu doesn't sense it and so it's draining way too much current I run $ ./battery.sh I don't know how clean this is, but this is the best thing I could do. I'd like to trick acpi-support into thinking I plugged in and out the AC adapter by sending a fake ACPI event, but I currently don't know how to do that. -- acpi scripts are only called on events https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108611 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
