Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Running 8.04 on a Lenovo 3000 n100 laptop. I noticed that my battery life was getting worse and worse a while ago--I used to be able to get almost 3 hours, and at one point could only manage 30 minutes. Naturally, I got a new battery and was shocked that it was still only giving me 30 minutes! Or so it said...turns out, if I let the laptop run through those 30 minutes, the power manager would magically realize that there was more juice and readjust its calculations without shutting down or anything. I was left with wonky readings but a functional battery life, so I didn't complain. The whole thing looked somewhat like this: http://twitpic.com/xurf Today, however, things have changed. My laptop has been plugged in for the last n hours, and it refuses to get more than 27 minutes of charge in it. The worst part is that if I unplug it, it actually freaks out and tells me it's critically low on batteries and shuts down. I seriously doubt that my battery got really messed up in the last 24 hours, so I have no idea what's going on. http://twitpic.com/xus6 Help? ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Whacked out battery readings actually shutting laptop down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
