I have been evaluating distros for my desktop machine. The machine does not have a battery but during the installation, a nonexistent battery is set as my power supply. And the battery is discharging rapidly.

I am multibooting with Windows 10.

My machine is a mini pc, with 464-bit Intel Atom x5-Z8350 GB memory, 64 GB base storage, 128 GB micro SSD, and a 500 GB SSD. The CPU is an Intel Cherry Trail Z8350.

Almost all of my experience with Ubuntu has been with the server, running Docker.

Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

  • There are no batteries in my machine. It's not a laptop. I tried the solution from "Cannot detect power supply plug/unplug on Ubuntu 14.04.2". It did not fix my problem – hsedidin Jan 02 '19 at 16:54
  • What is the complete output of `laptop-detect -v`? – user535733 Jan 02 '19 at 18:46
  • It seems only Debian recognizes the power supply – hsedidin Jan 20 '19 at 20:28
  • I am having this problem too and it is driving me crazy. I have one of these Cherry Trail mini pcs and I want to kill the battery indicator and notifications because I'm trying to use it to run looping presentations and I don't want that @#%&@% low battery notification for my nonexistent battery! Have tried a zillion things myself. – Will Matheson Jan 29 '20 at 04:35
  • @user535733 - I have the same CPU, the same problem, and my output is `We're a laptop (non device ACPI batteries found)` – Will Matheson Jan 29 '20 at 23:36
