The Ubuntu Wiki page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power#settings seems to say that if the mouse battery is low, then it gets the battery indicator. In my opinion, this is fundamentally incorrect behaviour. If the PC has a battery then it is likely to be a laptop and therefore it's more important to display the laptop battery level instead of the mouse battery. I care if my laptop battery is about to go flat. I don't care at all if my mouse battery is only at 29% because my mouse will probably continue to work for many weeks whereas my laptop only works for a couple of hours from 100%. It would be better if there was a way to choose which battery level to display or have a way to completely ignore mouse battery readings.

This is a problem as it seems to favour showing a "not present" mouse status over the laptop battery level in the top bar. I haven't done a good job of explaining it, so check out the screenshot - it will explain all :) Basically, the laptop battery should be shown in the top bar if the mouse/keyboard is "not present". Also hiding the mouse and keyboard when the battery level is unknown would also be useful too :) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: indicator-power 12.10.6daily12.11.21.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-0.3-generic 3.8.0-rc3 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-0-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.8-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Jan 17 10:11:16 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-12-14 (33 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Alpha amd64 (20121214) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: indicator-power UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-power/+bug/1100546/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
