Public bug reported: Binary package hint: upower
I am using lucid. I have a dell inspiron 6000 upower gives data that is inconsistent with acpi. > acpi Battery 0: Charging, 27%, 01:25:50 until charged this agrees with the bios, so I believe it to be correct. > upower --dump Device: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/line_power_AC native-path: /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/ACPI0003:00/power_supply/AC power supply: yes updated: Tue Jun 15 22:34:20 2010 (754 seconds ago) has history: no has statistics: no line-power online: yes Device: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 native-path: /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0 vendor: Sanyo model: DELL F51267 serial: 1410 power supply: yes updated: Tue Jun 15 22:46:25 2010 (29 seconds ago) has history: yes has statistics: yes battery present: yes rechargeable: yes state: charging energy: 14.8962 Wh energy-empty: 0 Wh energy-full: 79.92 Wh energy-full-design: 79.92 Wh energy-rate: 26.3514 W voltage: 11.64 V time to full: 2.5 hours percentage: 18.6389% capacity: 67.375% technology: lithium-ion History (charge): 1276638385 18.639 charging 1276638355 18.347 charging 1276638325 18.042 charging History (rate): 1276638385 26.351 charging 1276638355 29.393 charging 1276638325 27.728 charging Daemon: daemon-version: 0.9.1 can-suspend: yes can-hibernate yes on-battery: no on-low-battery: no lid-is-closed: no lid-is-present: yes the incorrect stat is percentage. Note that it is 18%, i.e. different from what acpi reports. this battery is an older battery and only holds about 65% of the design capacity when full. So, energy-full seems to be wrong as well. I don't know what capacity is, but as I said the last full capacity is about 2/3 of the design capacity, so it could be that. In fact, 18%/67%= 27% agrees with acpi, so that is probably what capacity means. Anyways, this is causing my gnome-power-manager to report the wrong charge as well. ** Affects: upower (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- upower gives incorrect data/misleading data https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/594852 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
