Public bug reported:
Affects: gnome-applets (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
I'm running Dapper on Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300. I usually run the Battery
Charge Monitor in compact view. "About" reports "legacy (non-HAL) backend
enabled."
The monitor (2.14.1) works perfectly when running on battery. Battery life as
both percentage and time remaining appears accurate.
When I plug into AC, the applet correctly reports "System is running on AC
power" and "charging". However, the time remaining till fully charged is
really the battery life remaining. The time remaining till fully charged grows
as the battery approaches full charge.
For example, as I am writing this the applet is reporting:"35 minutes until
fully charged (20%)"
A few minutes later: " 39 minutes until fully charged (22%). This trend will
continue until it reads something like "2 hours 36 minutes until charged (99%)."
I believe the battery monitor worked properly for me in Breezy.
