This functionality should also be configurable, if not the default, in gnome power manager. Just because Gnome's apparent philosophy is to be simplified for the user, does not mean we cannot expose extra configuration to more advanced users in the places where they traditionally look - the preferences. Sorry if this is a dupe, I'm not used to Gnome's bugzilla installation.

[Bug 1728045] Re: Please restore battery time remaining to top bar!
Resurrecting this bug report to mention that I also miss the time remaining but also provide a resolve. It was extremely useful to know how much time I had before I had to seek a charger for my laptop and plan accordingly. Sure I can still check this, but having to trackpad my cursor over and get the time is just an annoying inconvenience. However to quench the need for the few, there is a Gnome shell extension compatible with 3.28.2 that'll let you add back in the time remaining by editing the extentsion's setting to show it. It'll give you the practical remaining or percentage, but not both. However you can enable the native percentage assuming you can ignore the numbers getting too friendly with the percentage. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/817/battery-status/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728045 Title: Please restore battery time remaining to top bar!

Because Gnome 2.x and Gnome 3.x are effectively different products with different designs. It may be unhelpful if the old discussion there no longer applies to the current design.

I never said I agree with the Gnome design choices. Just historically the Gnome 3.x people have been particularly keen to keep things minimal. I agree with you and would prefer to see time remaining. Anyway, the right place to continue this discussion is on bugzilla.gnome.org, either in #540373 or some new report as Jeremy requested in comment #4. If the idea is rejected on bugzilla.gnome.org then we can continue the discussion here about doing something bespoke just for Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728045 Title: Please restore battery time remaining to top bar!

>I believe you can still see estimated battery time remaining if you click on the panel menu (top right?). Yes. And this is _much_ less convenience. When I am racing against the clock trying to get something done before my battery runs out, the last thing I want to have to do is move my mouse up to the corner of the screen and click just to see how much time I have left. What I want to be able to do is glance quickly at the corner while continuing to work.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status.
