I know there are similar posts (I even post this question two months ago with no replies) but I could not figure out a solution. Also, searching in Internet did not give anything useful.

I am not able to see the battery indicator on the panel in my Ubuntu 14.04 installation. I changed the power setting to 'When battery is present', used dconf-editor to check if the power-daemon was active, also purged and installed 'indicator-power' to no effect. I spent a lot of time reading various relevant threads in Internet but still no result. Anything else that I can try to get it back? Is this a bug?

I even followed the instructions: here . I can check e.g. the temprature by

$ acpi -t

but 

$ acpi

does not produce a result.

(AMD A6-3400M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics × 4 )

PS.

A colleague of mine recently purchased a Dell laptop with the same version of Ubuntu preinstalled. In his laptop there is battery indication!

  • Is your laptop the same model as your colleague's?

  • No. Mine one is a Toshiba Satelite originally coming with Windows 7 and installing Ubuntu as dualbooting (sorry for possibe improper use of terms).

  • It kind of made it seem like you had a Dell as well. A different model could make a difference, but a completely different brand shouldn't be compared. Now, you can try this, but since it's for 11.04, there's no guarantee it'll work: askubuntu.com/questions/68445/no-battery-status-icon

  • Thanks for your replies. I have already tried it; no results! Do you think it is really a bug or it has to do with my pc or even with the pc's battery? Showing the related posts I am very puzzled!

  • I'm not sure. You could try going to 15.04
