Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
gnome-power-manager doesn't correctly detect the power state on my
laptop (HP Pavilion dv6500t). When I pull the AC plug out it detects
that it was unplugged because the battery icon shows up in the
notification area. However when I hover over the icon it still says that
it's running on AC power. This makes the "on battery" power management
settings invalid since it still thinks it's running on AC. i.e. the
screen doesn't dim, the screen doesn't turn off after 15 minutes as
specified for "On battery power" etc.
Steps to reproduce
1. Unplug AC power cord
2. Wait for battery icon to appear in the notification area
3. Hover over the icon with the mouse and notice it says that it's running on
AC when it's clearly running on battery
4. Notice that none of the "on battery power" preferences take effect since it
still thinks it's on AC power
What should happen
Batter icon should appear and indicate that it is running on battery power and
"on battery power" preferences should be in effect.
This might be specific to this model of laptop as I have another laptop
I can't reproduce this on.
