I'm having a similar problem on my laptop running Hardy. If I boot on AC, the gnome-power-manager notification icon seems to indicate that that I'm running on AC but when holding the mouse over the icon, the tooltip indicates that I'm running on battery. If I unplug the power cable and plug it back in again, both the icon and tooltip correctly indicate that I'm running on AC.
I first noticed that something strange was going on when I tried to debug a problem with gnome-screensaver only blanking the screen instead of showing my screensaver - it turned out to be because gnome- screensaver also thought I was running on battery when I'm actually on AC. running acpi -v (or cat /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/status) correctly shows that AC is online. hal-find-by-capability --capability "ac_adapter" | xargs -n 1 hal-device shows: ac_adapter.present = false (bool) I'll upload output from gnome-power-bugreport.sh hal-find-by-capability --capability "battery" | xargs -n 1 hal-device hal-find-by-capability --capability "ac_adapter" | xargs -n 1 hal-device before and after unplugging and reconnecting the power cable. ** Attachment added: "before unplugging and reconnecting AC" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20919039/pm_debug-before.out -- acpi reporting incorrect battery state https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201318 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
