Public bug reported: Binary package hint: hal
In Edgy, the power meter does not report the battery life correctly at all, in either gnome or kde. It will show plugged/charging and approximate battery (100/50/33/0), but not exact life, nor accurate time. If I type acpi in a console, it reports accurate battery life. My laptop is an Acer Aspire 3003LCi (moblie sempron 754) ** Affects: hal (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Confirmed -- HAL battery status, and thus Gnome and KDE battery monitor broken in edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/63997 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
