Thanks for your report and helping make Ubuntu better! Karmic shifts away from HAL towards devicekit, so I'm adding that package as a package it affects.
>From DevkitPower.txt: Device: /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power/devices/battery_BAT0 native-path: /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A08:00/device:01/PNP0C09:00 energy: 28.58 Wh energy-empty: 0 Wh energy-full: 28.58 Wh energy-full-design: 0 Wh energy-rate: 34.485 W time to full: 0 seconds time to empty: 0 seconds percentage: 100% capacity: 0% It seems that DeviceKit doesn't report "energy-full-design" properly. However, I'm new to DeviceKit - maybe someone over there can see it. ** Also affects: devicekit-power (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: devicekit-power (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- "battery may be broken" dialog comes up when booting with an empty battery https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392467 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
