Public bug reported:
Sorry not to give more information, I needed to report this bug because
it's kind of critical and I hope it's easy to solve.
I'm using gnome-power-manager since Dapper and it worked flawlessly. I
upgraded to Edgy Knot 3 with the upgrade-manager, and many things broke,
but all of them got solved but one. This one is the battery issue.
My laptop is an Acer Aspire 1692, and as I said before, the battery
level report was correct in Dapper. Now, when I unplug the cable, g-p-m
tells me that the battery level is critical (and it launches the default
action to do when the battery level is critical). The thing is, the
battery level isn't critical, it's just an error.
I'm not quite sure where the error comes from. G-p-m measures it
incorrectly, and so does the battery panel applet. Strangely enough,
running an "acpi -t" on a console reports the *actual* remaining battery
time.
I'm thinking this might be a dbus issue, but I'm not sure, so I leave it
as "I don't know". The bug is not critical but is a serious issue,
because it can cause all laptops (after upgrading to Edgy) to shutdown
or hivernate every time they are unplugged from the AC, not to mention
that the user can't get the real remaining battery time
If you need more info, please contact me
