I notice this in 12.04 on a Samsung 550P5C. Generally it doesn't realise it is charging - the time remaining just increases - but once or twice it hasn't realised it was discharging.
If I put the laptop into suspend and wake it, the icon/information changes to the correct state. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1048041 Title: Power icon doesn't show it is charging when it's plugged in To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-power/+bug/1048041/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
