Current Lucid on HP Pavilion dv3550eg.
Booting on fully charged battery (without AC plugged in) resulted in the
icon ("display always") showing I was running on AC with fully charged
battery.
Calling cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state didn't change anything. But
plugging it in suddenly updated the icon and was still ok after
unplugging again.
It is interesting that the statistics plot that you can call from the
icon showed that the battery was discharging. Only the icon itself
didn't represent it.
I'm following another bug that there is no alarm at critical battery
charge: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-
manager/+bug/481576 Is this maybe somehow related?
