Hello,

I have something similar on my laptop. The g-p-m shows the battery as
charging whenever I plug my wall adapter. But the battery status freezes
there after then. The attachment shows two snapshots, one of them
showing the mistaken battery reading (it shows 43% while actually the
battery was near to be charged). The second attachment shows the correct
reading. I forced the correct reading to appear by unplugging then
immediately plugging the wall adapter.

Some info:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.24-8-generic ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 
4.2.3-1ubuntu2)) #1 SMP Thu Feb 14 20:13:27 UTC 2008
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -s gnome-power-manager | grep Version
Version: 2.21.1-0ubuntu1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -s hal | grep Version
Version: 0.5.10-5ubuntu7

I want to add that the same thing happens at discharging. The reading
never gets updated until some major event occurs such as Suspend or
Shutdown. Even if the battery is near to empty, it still shows as 99%
charged!!!
