Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Opinion Status in Indicator Applet: Invalid Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: The drop-down menu for the gnome-power-manager battery status menu says Laptop battery (estimating...) At a minimum this be fixed to read Laptop batter (estimating time...) or Laptop battery (estimating battery life...). Ideally if the remaining battery *time* is not known (because less than sufficient datapoints have been collected to enable estimation) then the percentage should be displayed in-lieu. The percentage is already available and is used to drive the indicator-applet icon itself. The current implementation is specified by: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BatteryStatusMenu#Items but because the estimating... text can exist for days-on-end (nearly a week in the case of this computer) it probably needs a slight tweak or design addition to take account of the time estimation not being available for long periods of time. See bug #629258 for previous (lukewarm) discussions on the lower- stack issues. This two bugs might want re-splitting/sorting again based on those that relate to the chrono estimate not being known, and those that relate to the pointless display of that unknown data for long periods of time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/629257 Title: Laptop battery (estimating...) -estimating what?

[Bug 629257] Re: Laptop battery (estimating...) -estimating what?
I have just revised the battery status menu specification. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BatteryStatusMenu?action=diffrev2=10rev1=9 One common complaint I tackled was that the menu items were annoyingly long. For example, I have shortened Battery 0:20 until charged to Battery (0:20 to charge). Meanwhile, I specified an option to show the time estimate in the menu title as well. For those two reasons, I would rather not change Battery (estimating…) to Battery (estimating time…), if we can avoid it. It's longer, especially in a menu title. (estimating...) should appear for only a few minutes. If for some reason bug 629258 cannot be fixed, so it would unavoidably appear for longer than a few minutes, then please reopen this bug and we'll tackle it some other way. ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Won't Fix -- Laptop battery (estimating...) -estimating what? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/629257 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

*None* of the bug reports that have been marked as duplicates of this one are actually duplicates. This bug report is about the choice of text.
