No power meter

[jasballz]

Hey all,

 

I have an Acer Aspire 4720z with working wireless but no power meter. I tried the install recommended in one of the guides (power...bundle) but it doesn't work.

 

On dsmeg it says "appleacpipowersource.kext" and "appleacpithermal.kext" have dependency problems. I looked in my extensions folder and they aren't there (probably because of my install). Could someone make their appleacpipowersource uploaded for me? I don't have one and I think it may be key.

 

Or is "appleacpiplatform?" Would you mind uploading that too?

 

The most progress I've had was a working meter (I was tweaking for a while so I don't know how I got that working) but a really instable system that was prone to crashing. I heard that there are conflicts with Taruga audio (I have realtech ALC 268). Are there fixes for that?

 

The battery isn't listed in Ubuntu's Lspci readout.

It's interesting you should have a similar problem to mine. I started with a working battery manager, but eventually traced it as the source of instability and, particularly, almost unavoidable kernel panics whenever I use any sort of audio application on battery power.

 

There are several ways I found of obtaining a working battery manager, including installing the Voodoobattery kext, but none so far have yielded a stable system. So here I am, on battery, with no battery manager and thus none of the associated power management. (my disks never seem to spin down!)

 

I'm on a Samsung NC10, however, with AzaliaAudio.

 

If I find anything that works for me, I'll let you know.

Thank you.

 

Once when I booted from the CD I found a battery meter that stayed put, but network didn't work.
