Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Since upgrading from lucid to 10.10 maverick, gnome-power-manager (icon)
does not display remaining battery percentage on my laptops as I was
used to and which is the only possibility as the hardware is already a
bit of age and does not support this time estimation (HP Omnibook
XE3-GC, built around 2001). Instead, it wants to display the estimated
remaining time which cannot be calculated, therefore on a left click it
says in German "wird ermittelt...", which could be something like "being
estimated" or "being calculated" in English.
gconf-editor provides a setting for disabling the time-based display of
information, but it does not seem to work - percentage does not become
available on tool tip / left click.
All information about the battery is present when opening the detailed
dialog, so it seems to be just a problem about selecting the value for
display.
Please make the percentage available again, at least according to the
gconf-editor option or based on a mechanism that disables time
estimation as soon as it detects to be impossible.

maverick: gnome-power-manager does not display battery percentage on left icon
click, even when told so by gconf-editor - instead wants to calculate time even
if not possible
