About the current charge (since I can't post there, I don't have LJ): instead of bugging users, the manager could simply do what it did before it had the new "profiling" features. (Or, it could initialize the profile with the "old" one, instead of blank data.) It will then be at least as good as the old one, and it will get better while learning. (Now it can be better, but it's worse than the old one the first few charge cycles.)
About the battery max capacity, this is really weird. I took a look at that /proc file, it looks quite strange (see below). The last/current charge is given as more than ten times the design capacity. I think it's probably an over-enthusiastic extrapolation (the voltage is higher than designed, and I think there's an exponential there in the calculation). Anyway, the warning is still weird. It should warn me I have too much battery capacity, not too little... (By the way, I notice it has some "by design" numbers for low/warning levels, they should be used to initialize the model.) $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info present: yes design capacity: 5200 mAh last full capacity: 63718 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 11100 mV design capacity warning: 520 mAh design capacity low: 157 mAh capacity granularity 1: 52 mAh capacity granularity 2: 52 mAh model number: DELL PC7646 serial number: 1660 battery type: LION OEM info: Samsung SDI $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: charged present rate: 1 mA remaining capacity: 63718 mAh present voltage: 12352 mV -- power manager insists batter is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119318 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
