For me, the problem resolved when I backed up my home directories and
re-installed Ubuntu with the latest ISO. The problem started with the
update to Hardy Heron. It was never resolved with any subsequent
patches. But it seemed to have been resolved since it works with a
fresh install. It is kind of weird because it reminds me more of a
Windows kind of problem/solution and not something typical of what
Ubuntu has become.

i just wanted to say that on kubuntu 8.10 beta the kpowermanager works quite
ok, and most of the times knows exactly how much is left.
so maybe this is gnome specific issue. ;)

Status in gnome-power-manager source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn
Hardware is HP Pavilion DV1000 series (specific DV1588EA)
Battery monitor when running on battery reports percentage of battery
remaining correctly, but the corresponding remaining time is often fabulously
wrong (and can swing between e.g a few minutes to tens of hours in the blink
of an eye). /* What I wouldn't give for batteries that can last 14 hours
between charges... */
It looks for all the world like the underlying values are being held in
storage classes which are too small or where value-wrapping is not being
handled quite right...
BTW UBUNTU is fantastic; I'm a convert! Keep up the good work!

Today we reconsecrate our country to long-cherished ideals in a
suddenly changed civilization. In every land there are always at work
forces that drive men apart and forces that draw men together. In our
personal ambitions we are individualists. But in our seeking for
economic and political progress as a nation, we all go up, or else we
all go down, as one people.
