I have this same symptom on my Acer Aspire One A110 with Ubuntu 12.04. This started after one of the latest kernel updates week or two weeks ago. So earlier 12.04 was fine, and also 11.10. Here's some intresting info from the sysfs while the panel says "not present": tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/manufacturer SIMPLO tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/model_name UM08A71 tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/technology Li-ion tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/present 1 tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_full 65532000 tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_full_design 2200000 tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_now cat: /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/charge_now: No such device tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/current_now 0 tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/voltage_now 11650000 tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/voltage_min_design 11100000 tuomas@pandaone:~ $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/status Unknown The most interesting one is the charge_now reporting "No such device". Is this really a bug in xorg?
