[Bug 439783] Re: Regression: devicekit-power does not display remaining battery time

2009-12-24 Thread Scott Minster
I've been experiencing this bug as well on my HP Pavilion dv6000 ever since Karmic. I think the problem is related to the 'rate' that is reported through lshal and devicekit. The former reports the rate as -1: $ lshal | grep battery | grep rate battery.charge_level.rate = 0 (0x0) (int) bat

Replacing XSMP for a better way is a noble goal. However, it is ridiculous that Gnome released 2.24 with a half done version of the new protocol and no trace of the XSMP support. That simply speaks to bad management at the Gnome project. This bug is not something Ubuntu can fix at this point, bu

It looks like this value is used in the code and not configurable. I downloaded the source and found were 'battery.charge_level.design' was used in src/gpm-cell.c. Instead of changing that, however, I just commented out its usage in gpm_cell_get_id() to not use that value in constructing the ID.

thegizmoguy, you can get a dmesg output by opening a terminal and running `dmesg'. You can do this as a normal user; you don't need to be root. Generally, you'll probably want to redirect that to a file by running something like `dmesg > dmesg.txt'. Then you can upload dmesg.txt here. On anothe
