Bug Description
My Compaq Presario 2500 does not recognize the existence of a battery. I first noticed this when I unplugged my laptop for the first time after a fresh install. The Gnome Power Manager continues to show that it is plugged in. I tried to investigate further.
The output from acpi -V:
jud@jud-laptop:~$ acpi -V
Thermal 1: ok, 5.0 degrees C
AC Adapter 1: on-line
This seems to show a problem with acpi, because my laptop always has run much hotter than 5 C. The Device Manager also indicates that a battery is not present.
I'm far from a linux expert, but if you could tell me what other info would be helpful I'd be happy to track it down.

This problem disappeared when I booted into my Edgy live cd (which correctly displayed all acpi-related items). When I got back into Feisty, the problem had solved itself. I can't explain why.
