Quite same problem on my HP Pavillion DV3550ev. The problem comes with ubuntu 9.10 and not with 9.04. If i disconnect the power cable from the computer the battery icon works good, but if i restart the computer or i switch on without the power cable the icon give to me:"the battery is fully charged", but if i clic on the battery it gives to me for example 23% and no idication regarding the discharge time. Is the same for the video backlight that witout the power cable during reboot starts the computer with 100% of luminosity but if i plug the power cable and then disconnect it works good chainging the backlights from 100% to 60%. So it seems that the gnome power manager doesn't start alone during a reboot (with battery) but only if you disconnect the power cable. Best regards.
