Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Using Intrepid Alpha 6 - All packages up to date
These are copies and pastes from my thread on the Ubuntu forum...
Post 1 - As of Sept 26, I believe I found a hibernate bug.
What happens is when I use hibernate on my HP 2710p tablet PC, once it
wakes up the battery level is stuck forever - meaning, if i hibernate
her at 44% battery and charge it overnight, the next morning when i wake
her up, the battery life is still stuck at 44%; even though the charge
light is off (which means its fully charged).
Anyone else notice this?
Post 2 - So i have confirmed it with Stand By mode too.
So - 2 questions... should i report this bug on the launchpad? i looked
around and saw some mention of it, - but i feel its a pretty big bug (if
it isnt already known)
next - would the kubuntu alpha have the same trouble? i am curious
becasue i know they use different power managers, but if the info comes
from some sort of ACPI, then they are probably the same.
can anyone else reproduce this bug too? i was using my tablet earlier,
and it said i had 34% left but my battery light was flashing. i figured
i would wait to see who was right and sure enough, my tablet just shut
off.
Post 3 - i found a few posts online that said if i reinstalled the power
manager from a deb and not from the package manager it works better. i
have done this and will report back soon.
heard about people using the kde manager also - i dont know how i wouold
do that. simply unchec the gnome ones in the package manager and install
the kde one? will that hurt anything?
