Bug Description
I have a Toshiba L305 and the only way to detect the ac adapter being plugged or unplugged is with the omnibook kernel module that can be found here: http://
At a minimum this package should be installable from the repository, but it would be best to include it out of the box since most users would just decide that Ubuntu sucks if their laptop needed this and they would just go back to Windows. This module is the only way to use the Fn screen brightness keys and more importantly is the only way to detect if the ac adapter is plugged in or not.
I'd love to see this merged into the kernel, but until that happens it must be included in Ubuntu seprately.

This is not a bug in the linux-meta package, moving to the linux package.
