laptop battery not working (Ubuntu 9.10)

[Finn Bjerke]

Dead batteries in Ubuntu 9.10. I use Toshiba L30-101 laptop.

1. If I use Ubuntu 9.04 there is no problem I can use the batteries or the electric cord, everythiung is fine
2. If I upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 the batteries are not working at all. If I take out the electric cord the PC does not boot or just stops.

I hope its better in version 10, but 9.04 works just fine. I upgraded to 9.10 0 using the standard function downgrading took a while.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please open a terminal and execute: apport-collect 498764 ? It will attach the necessary information to this report. Also you can submit more information for it by looking to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager , Thanks in advance.

I find it rather difficult to do this. Sorry freinds its too complicated. WHen I copy "apport-collect 498764" to terminal strange things happen I dont under stand any of it. Sorry.

To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ apport-collect 498764

I am having this problem as well, Ubuntu 9.10 Net book remix, on an eeepc 701 4G. I have a brand new battery, and when the battery shows fully charged, the laptop shuts down immedi

...immediately after the AC power cord is removed, as though there were no battery present at all...
