Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Installation of Ubuntu ver 10.04 on a netbook, brand "Viewsonic" model
VNB100.
When the AC power fails the laptop immediately suspends instead of just
switching to battery power.
When installed Kubuntu 10.04 the power management works fine. So must be
some kind of PM software error...
I think I know why this problem exists, but not how to fix it. The power
management system seems to detect the battery as nearly exhausted as
soon as it starts to use it. The battery is actually fully charged, but
the laptop behaves as though it's critically discharged.
It seems to have problems knowing how charged the battery is, as power
management history shows the graph wildly fluctuating from almost
totally empty to fully charged.
If I could just fix it to "fully charged" or somehow fix the battery
status, I think this problem would be solved.
PS Just for the sake of completeness, I have to power on repeatedly to
get it to use the battery after AC failure or AC power removal, it also
refuses to stop powering down the HDD.
