This is unrelated to the gnome power applet: I suffer this problem in Kubuntu jaunty. Oddly, the battery plasmoid reports in a somewhat normal fashion until it reaches about 35%, at which point it drops immediately to 3% and goes to sleep. I suspect it has something to do with HAL/udev.
Strange: on my system, HAL is installed, but the module for DeviceKit storage disk management is also installed. I was under the impression that HAL is being replaced with udev. Then again, if memory serves KDE doesn't have a Solid plug-in for udev/DeviceKit, so it may just be that HAL is installed in Kubuntu and not in standard Ubuntu due to this limitation. -- karmic: battery left time estimation is wrong and randomly changing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434251 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
