For art...@gmail.com and undernetan...@gmail.com Having another eeepc 900 I've tried it's battery instead of mine ( because my battery is really old and may cause this problem). With the new battery I had the same bug - so it's 100% a bug.
I don't know how to fix it, but using ubuntu 9.04 I didn't have such a problem, battery status worked well. I've read owners of other laptops (not eeepc) also had this problem. It's general problem of power-manager. May be it's possible to solve a problem by using applets or scripts. With eeecontol applet I've had the same bug. For the popular elmurato scripts - I've not tried it. I prefer to wait for developers to fix this bug, because it's relevant general defect of OS rather to look for script-like solutions. 2009/11/4, Артём Попов <art...@gmail.com>: > Same thing here on an ASUS eeePC 701. > > ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) > Status: New => Confirmed > > -- > Incorrect warning about eeepc battery > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460631 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in "gnome-power-manager" package in Ubuntu: Confirmed > > Bug description: > Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager > > Description of the problem: > gnome-power-manager incorrectly pops up a warning about an unhealthy battery > in my EeePC 900.
