It turns out that this was indeed a bug in upower and is resolved in arch linux package upower version 0.9.23-2 The upstream report for this is at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70952 So this I believe is now fully resolved with the latest upower version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/981212 Title: upower reports percentage: 0% while laptop is AC-adapter-powered and battery is 100% charged To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-applet/+bug/981212/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The ACPI for that laptop seems pretty broken: POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_NOW=-1000 You should report this as a bug against the kernel at bugzilla.kernel.org. The laptop lacks energy_* information.

Seems like a hardware/software problem, or something regarding the kernel, or with the way the BIOS reports battery stuff. Do you have this issue with another operating system like Windows?

Hmm, that's interesting... this string is coming from here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/indicator- power/trunk.2.0/view/head:/src/indicator-power.c#L379 Most of the time when AC is plugged in and the battery is full, the indicator won't show text at all. Otherwise how much charge the device has, or (not present) if the charge level is 0. So, indicator-power thinks that upower has told it your battery is not fully charged and has a 0% charge. Bob, you might try running upower --monitor-detail in a terminal and see what upower thinks is going on in your system? ** Changed in: indicator-applet Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: indicator-applet (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/981212 Title: Incorrect label for non-active battery in battery menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-applet/+bug/981212/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
