Comment: battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = false (bool) Your battery is initially reported as not discharging. battstat takes this to mean "I'm on AC". I think maybe the laptop is failing to delivery "battery state change" ACPI events to hald which means that hald is only updating the battery when it polls acpi (explains the 30 seconds delay). Only when it does the poll would it properly update the battery state. This should be easy to fix. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
