(Get the code!)
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/
sudo /etc/acpi/power.sh
sudo su -c "echo BATTERY > /var/lib/
--- 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.
