Code:

dmr@skynet:~$ acpi -V

No support for device type: battery

     Thermal 1: ok, 41.0 degrees C

No support for device type: ac_adapter

This is a relatively new regression, kelmo suggested in irc it may pertain to the 2.6.25 kernel. I would obviously like to be able to find my battery life with acpi.

Code:

dmr@skynet:~$ infobash -v3
Host/Kernel/OS "skynet" running Linux 2.6.25-2.slh.1-sidux-686 i686 [ sidux 2008-01 Νυξ - kde-lite - (200804112323) ]

I was trying the figure out the other day how much charge I had using cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/*, but it was giving me a file no found error. However. I think this is fixed in >= 2.6.25.2-2
