Confirmed on Hardy, with Acer Travelmate, wont even report accurate time/percent. but the output of acpi -b *does* report with complete accuracy every time I manually execute it. Also percent remaining differs vastly on mouse-over to click on, does not update itself for most of the time, once minute its 98 percent then some time later it changes to 43% then its 18 then its whatever, no set pattern, it might never show 43 but show 71 then 0, even when it reports percent critical and action level, it does not turn off/hibernate or do anything, no pop up balloon, runs until battery exhausted. This WORKED fine on Windows XP and Fedora, but I wiped Fedora for Ubuntu.
anyway..... /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/ info: present: yes design capacity: 65120 mWh last full capacity: 52810 mWh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 14800 mV design capacity warning: unknown design capacity low: unknown capacity granularity 1: unknown capacity granularity 2: unknown model number: 02ZL serial number: 0 battery type: LION OEM info: PS alarm: unsupported state: present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: discharging present rate: 12026 mW remaining capacity: 18120 mWh present voltage: 14433 mV acpi -b Battery 1: discharging, 35%, 01:29:58 remaining panel icon shows 71 and 11 hours remaining (I only wish) :) ** Attachment added: "hal-eddie.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18936057/hal-eddie.txt -- Gnome Battery Charge Monitor not giving estimated time remaining https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38795 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
