Expected: g-p-m shows correct power consumption, remaining power. What works: indication of power cord attached / removed. But there is no continous info from hal about the battery power status. Details: When I check the battery manually (acpi -b), lshal -m produces 10:56:42.004: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property battery. remaining_time = 700 (0x2bc) (new) 10:56:42.009: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property battery. charge_level.percentage = 21 (0x15) 10:56:42.013: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property battery. charge_level.rate = 21223 (0x52e7) 10:56:42.016: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property battery. charge_level.current = 13556 (0x34f4) 10:56:42.020: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property battery. reporting.current = 916 (0x394) 10:56:42.022: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property battery. rechargeable.is_charging = true 10:56:42.023: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property battery. reporting.rate = 1434 (0x59a) 10:56:42.025: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property battery. voltage.current = 16706 (0x4142) and gpm updates the battery reading. On Feisty (gpm working) I observed, that lshal -m produces every minute this output: acpi_BAT0 property battery.charge_level.percentage = 93 (0x5d) acpi_BAT0 property battery.remaining_time = 3781 (0xec5) acpi_BAT0 property battery.charge_level.current = 16605 (0x40dd) acpi_BAT0 property battery.voltage.current = 15882 (0x3e0a) acpi_BAT0 property battery.reporting.current = 1122 (0x462) which is missing in 8.04. I checked the installation CDs (the one I used and also last update from Ubuntu): both show this issue. So the bug is not caused by a mis- configuration I did. Since I am trying to run this on a laptop, this issue is blocking to me.

If there are no events, HAL can't do anything. But feel free to check with the latest HAL release/git.
