apport information ** Description changed:
Battery icon in new ubuntu indicators does not honour gconf setting "/apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_time_for_policy". My netbook battery lasts about 8hrs in normal use, so, even with low charge percentage I have plenty of working time left. However, the battery icon switches to "low" icon (black frame with red bar) when I still have about 1:50 hrs time left. I would not consider 1:50 hrs left a low battery status, but this "red" bar sitting there in the corner makes me constantly worried about battery charge left, it is very distracting. To remedy this, battery icon indicator should honour the above gconf setting and switch to "low" display only when the time configured for power-manager in gconf is reached (1200 sec by default). This way it would go red only when left working time "really" is low (20 min). regards sven --- Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) Package: gnome-settings-daemon 2.32.0-0ubuntu3 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: LANG=de_DE.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-23.36-generic 2.6.35.7 Tags: maverick Uname: Linux 2.6.35-23-generic i686 UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin mythtv plugdev sambashare + + --- + Architecture: i386 + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 + EcryptfsInUse: Yes + GnomeSessionIdleInhibited: No + GnomeSessionInhibitors: None + GnomeSessionSuspendInhibited: No + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) + MachineType: ASUSTeK Computer INC. 1005PE + Package: gnome-power-manager 2.32.0-0ubuntu1 + PackageArchitecture: i386 + ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-23-generic root=UUID=13d542f5-b497-46c1-85a6-8985d1ba0260 ro quiet splash elevator=deadline hpet=force acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor + ProcEnviron: + LANG=de_DE.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-23.36-generic 2.6.35.7 + Tags: maverick + Uname: Linux 2.6.35-23-generic i686 + UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin mythtv plugdev sambashare + dmi.bios.date: 04/29/2010 + dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. + dmi.bios.version: 1103 + dmi.board.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. + dmi.board.name: 1005P + dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. + dmi.board.version: x.xx + dmi.chassis.asset.tag: 0x00000000 + dmi.chassis.type: 10 + dmi.chassis.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. + dmi.chassis.version: x.x + dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr1103:bd04/29/2010:svnASUSTeKComputerINC.:pn1005PE:pvrx.x:rvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:rn1005P:rvrx.xx:cvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:ct10:cvrx.x: + dmi.product.name: 1005PE + dmi.product.version: x.x + dmi.sys.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. ** Attachment added: "BootDmesg.txt" https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/670771/+attachment/1723879/+files/BootDmesg.txt -- battery indicator icon ignores gconf setting "/apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_time_for_policy" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/670771 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
