Description Jacob 2014-03-21 21:01:44 UTC

I really would like this fixed. I know it is a problem with almost all the Toshiba Satellite Laptops. I tried enabling the battery icon in settings but it does not work. Any distro I try seems to have the problem I am experiencing. Currently I am using Arch Linux and still a no go. I go on multiple forums with people having the same problems as me and only old ways to fix it. No current ways to fix it on the newer kernels.

Comment 1 Lan Tianyu 2014-03-24 02:53:26 UTC

Please provide the output of acpidump and "grep .  /sys/class/power_supply/*/*"

Comment 2 Jacob 2014-03-24 18:03:29 UTC

I am unclear of the exact command I should use.

Comment 3 Lan Tianyu 2014-03-31 04:29:30 UTC

# acpidump > acpidump //Run acpidump command, produce the "acpidump" file and attach it.


#grep .  /sys/class/power_supply/*/* > sysfs //Run grep command and attach the sysfs file.

Did you get my information? I attached the files that you asked to examine. Hopefully this problem can be worked out because I love Linux but this problem still persists.

Comment 7 Lan Tianyu 2014-04-11 04:54:01 UTC

Sorry. Later response. Busy on the other things. Please attach the output of dmesg. run "dmesg > dmesg" and attach the dmesg file.

How do I fix this bug. I am unsure of how to do it on my machine.

Comment 14 Lan Tianyu 2014-04-18 03:24:30 UTC

Please see the bug 67251. So far, locate it as Bios issue and it needs overrides ACPI DSDT table.
