Thank you for the information. The information exported to /proc/acpi seems to be consistent with the behaviour of the battery status applet as I understand it (battery status is 'charging' when the AC adapter is present, but always 'charged' without AC adapter, and never 'discharging'). This defainately looks like a kernel bug.
For this reason, I will now reassign this to the kernel. The next interesting thing would be to see whether the information in /proc/acpi is consistent with the information in sysfs (which is what HAL and gnome-power-manager uses). I suspect it may be, because you say that the gnome-power-manager icon only ever displays when charging, even though you have told it to display when charging and discharging. Also, the information you provided from HAL earlier suggests this already too (battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = false). If you feel like it, could you please run the following commands both with and without AC power: ls -la /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0 cat /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0/* I'm not familiar with the structure under this folder. If the files I'm interested in are in sub-folders, you will need to cd in to them in order to get the information. In addition to this, could you also provide the standard information required by the kernel team for ACPI related bugs at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI, as separate attachments.
