No fix with update to Kernel Linux 3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64. Problem continuing of no detection of battery.
Confirming the same problem with Kernels 3.9.2-200.fc18.x86_64 and 3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64 on a Toshiba Satellite X855-043. However, all works fine on the same machine running kernel 3.8.6-203.fc18.x86_64, and on a Toshiba Satellite Pro L650-00N running kernel 3.8.8-202.fc18.x86_64.
Tested F19 beta with Gnome 3.8 - updated system current to today, 2013-06-12. No fix for Power Management of battery and Toshiba Satellite c655-s5503. Battery not recognized in notebook - hardware treated like desktop, so battery drain is heavier.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
