I am commenting here and removing the duplicate status because I am unable to reopen bug #395666.
Disabling this feature by default is silly. I have used it on my laptop for years, and it's perfectly accurate enough. At the very least it lets you know if you have enough juice to finish watching a movie. The alternative is to go mucking around in a text file, or run powertop in a terminal. There's no reason to _remove_ a feature that most users are accustomed to seeing. Just because one or a few devs have laptops that have inaccurate battery reporting doesn't mean the rest of us do also. Sure, KDE should reenable it, but Kubuntu should patch the default config file in the meantime. There's no reason not to, and every reason to do so. It's a standard feature! ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 395666 plasma_applet_battery widget doesn't show Remaining Time when on battery -- Powerdevil plasmoid doesn't give remaining time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/414469 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
