--- Begin Message ---Package: gnome-power-manager Version: 2.28.1-2 Hi, On my laptop, when I'm on mains power it does not always show that but instead shows I'm on battery. That is, it just shows the battery and not the plug next to it. It seems that it's using the wrong data to base this on. I think it's basing it on the battery's "state: discharing" part, while it should look at the line_power_AC's "line-power online: yes" part. Note that my bios either reports charging or discharging. You could claim this is wrong, but it really is slowing discharging when it's not charging. The same type of problems might also explain some other weird behaviour that I'm seeing, like dimming my screen too fast for no good reason.
