One idea that just crosses my mind: Might it be possible, that in the past (so Feisty Fawn) "acpi" was broadcasting the battery status and that now (Hardy Heron) this should be done by "computer_power_supply_battery" (just guessing from the prefix)? In that case, it might be possible, that my laptop (3 years old) does not support that feature. How can I check? I then would have to make acpi do that job instead. How could I do that? As a very ugly work-around I am now running always a script "watch acpi -b", which obviously makes acpi broadcast battery info.
