I have this problem on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a HP DV3500 laptop. The battery state is always on AC power if the laptop is booted on battery. If the laptop is booted on AC power and then the power cable removed, the battery state is fixed and it correctly shows the battery discharging.
This problem is unfortunate as it affects the rest of my power settings, for example the screen brightness does not go down when on battery and the laptop does not sleep when on battery as it always believes it is on AC power. (I have set it to never sleep when on AC power). It also means when battery reaches critical the machine pops off, instead of gracefully shutting down. Any fixes workarounds please? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464535 Title: Battery monitor on tray says "Laptop battery is fully charged" all the time -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
