I have this problem on my HP Pavilion DV9812NR running 10.10 with all updates.
Percentage shows up in power statistics, but the power indicator context menu always says estimating. I never had an estimated time since I got this laptop over a year ago (Time to full/empty is always 0 seconds). If I remember correctly I did have a percentage in the context menu in Lucid and definitely in Karmic. I tried Brian's fix and after rebooting the context menu is showing percentage again. An estimated time would be a nice bonus, but as far as I'm concerned percentage is all I need to know. -- 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
