I think the package just needs rebuilt. After an apt-get install of the xfce4-battery-plugin and building the unaltered source everything worked fine upon restart of xfce.
I don't have an explanation of what's wrong but I don't think this bug has anything to do with the kernel. /proc/acpi reported correctly while the indicator was held fixed at 28% For reference I'm using a Toshiba Satellite U305-S7467 -- xfce battery indicator is wrong https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181144 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
