See #53 above. I have been updating my eeepc 900 with each new kubuntu release and have not seen this problem since.

Yeah, the battery is nearing it's end-of-life. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/403303 Title: power manager reports 1% battery even though it is full on Asus Eee PC netbook Status in DeviceKit based power management D-Bus backend: Unknown Status in “devicekit-power” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager after logging in, I see a dialog box that says my battery may be broken and that it only has 1% charge, yet it's been plugged in for a long time, and the battery meter shows that it's full.
