I think one problem is that the kernel does not propagate the discharge information to the /sys architecture. If I look at /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state I can read present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: charging present rate: 26018 mW remaining capacity: 3800 mWh present voltage: 10637 mV
But the rate is nowhere to be found in /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/ and it would appear that the battery applet is looking there now. This is a Thinkpad T41 I am using, by the way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug (38795). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/629258 Title: Battery life estimation never comes around -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
