Binary package hint: notify-osd
On login on an EeePC 701 running UNR Karmic, a notification bubble
appears in the top right of the screen saying: "Battery may be broken:
your battery has a very low capacity (1.9%), which means that it may be
old or broken." This is contradicted by the battery load applet on the
top panel that show the actual charge of the battery. The fact that the
netbook happily runs several hours on battery confirms that the battery
charge applet is correct while the notification is not. See attached PDF
annotated screen shot that demonstrates the bug.
This behaviour only started in Karmic. It was working properly in
Jaunty. The bogus notification always says "1.9%", irrespective of the
actual battery charge.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Log in to Ubuntu Netwbook Remix 9.10
Actual behaviour:
A notification immediately appears saying "Battery may be broken: your battery
has a very low capacity (1.9%), which means that it may be old or broken." The
battery charge applet on the top panel shows the actual battery charge.
Expected behaviour:
No notification should appear as the battery is fully working as confirmed by
the battery charge applet and the fact that the netbook can run on battery for
as long as when it was new.
