Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve Ubuntu.
The acpi-support package is not responsible for the rate at which acpi events are generated, and is not involved at all in the handling of most ACPI events these days. For the first issue, that's an event that acpi- support processes, but this rather sounds like a bug in the ACPI implementation of your laptop model, which should not be returning incorrect battery charge values when queried. We should not work around this in Ubuntu by adding artificial delays to the acpi notifications; instead you should probably look into whether a BIOS update is available for your model that will correct this problem. For the second issue, acpi-support will not be involved at all. Reassigning to the gnome-power-manager package instead. Please ru 'acpi_listen' from a terminal, and capture the output from this command when you observe the excess "Laptop battery is charging" messages. ** Package changed: acpi-support (Ubuntu) => gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- acpi events status changes reported too fast https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606449 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
