Battery Display Icon Not Functioning

[Jacob Christopherson]

My battery and the bios use a 2 battery verification process that only Windows seems to take care of. I want to fully switch to Elementary OS but it doesn't display the icon for battery and how much percentage left or if it is charging. Please fix this. I assume you can modify the kernel to make this work.

We don't have the manpower or infrastructure to modify the kernel yet, so we use Ubuntu kernels. So this bug should be fixed in Ubuntu first to be fixed in elementary OS.

Also, what's the model of your laptop?

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 1087919

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.7 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

[Jacob Christopherson (jacoobchris)]

I don't know how to tag but this does not seem to work. Right now it would be tagged as "bug-exists-upstream"
