Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hal
the issue is observed in Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron) with up to date
packages.
Gnome-Power-Manager does not update the battery reading of the laptop.
I believe something messed up HAL because of the following:
When I check the battery manually (acpi -b), lshal -m produces
10:56:42.004: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property
battery.remaining_time = 700 (0x2bc) (new)
10:56:42.009: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property
battery.charge_level.percentage = 21 (0x15)
10:56:42.013: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property
battery.charge_level.rate = 21223 (0x52e7)
10:56:42.016: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property
battery.charge_level.current = 13556 (0x34f4)
10:56:42.020: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property
battery.reporting.current = 916 (0x394)
10:56:42.022: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property
battery.rechargeable.is_charging = true
10:56:42.023: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property
battery.reporting.rate = 1434 (0x59a)
10:56:42.025: computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0 property
battery.voltage.current = 16706 (0x4142)
and gpm updates the battery reading.
On Feisty (gpm working) I observed, that lshal -m produces every minute
this output:
acpi_BAT0 property battery.charge_level.percentage = 93 (0x5d)
acpi_BAT0 property battery.remaining_time = 3781 (0xec5)
acpi_BAT0 property battery.charge_level.current = 16605 (0x40dd)
acpi_BAT0 property battery.voltage.current = 15882 (0x3e0a)
acpi_BAT0 property battery.reporting.current = 1122 (0x462)
which is missing in 8.04.
So g-p-m is not updated regularily on the battery status.
