[Bug 486695] Re: battery monitor shows "no battery" until first time AC power unplugged

[Fabrizio Romano]

This affects me too. Both on my Acer Aspire One 751h and on my Acer Aspire 7730G.
It used to be the same problem with 10.04 as well.
Both of the computer BIOS have been updated, both run ubuntu without problem, but the battery indication doesn't work.
To make it work you have to plug in the cable and only then the battery gets recognized and as this is not always possible, it's really a major issue for me, actually, it is the reason I haven't switched to ubuntu completely. I just can't work on battery fearing a shutdown (with no alert, because the battery isn't recognized).

I really hope this issue gets solved on the natty edition. I tried
everything I could find on forums, nothing solved it at 100%.

Kind regards,
Fabrizio
