Oh, and you probably did lose current_now because of 2.6.36. It comes directly from the kernel, so not many other components have a chance to make it go away. Battery hardware varies, so it's easy to have a battery bug only affect specific laptops. I'd recommend testing a mainline 2.6.35 kernel (to see if it's an Ubuntu patch that provides current_now), then bisecting to find the commit that made it go away. If/when you do find a bad commit, you should file a new bug.
My own battery has never reported current_now. Some batteries just don't report that data in a way that linux knows how to get it, and probably some aren't even capable of reporting that data. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for gnome-power. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/629258 Title: Battery life estimation never comes around _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : registry@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
