This problem is intermittent on my Dell Studio 1537. The command "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state" always seems to show correctly whether the AC adapter is present, but the gnome-power-manager in the panel and the output of devkit-power --dump always says the AC adapter is connected.
When I check the power history is shows the laptop battery with the refreshed attribute set to 55876 seconds. Not sure what that is, but if that is how often gnome-power-manager checks for the ac adapter it could be part of the problem. ** Attachment added: "output of commands listed above" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35925114/ac_unplugged.txt -- [Karmic] power management icon says laptop is connected to power when it isn't https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393008 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
