Hi, What do you mean by "there hasn't been any activity in it recently"? Have you checked the comments? One person actually found a workaround after almost 2 years. There has been a ton of happy comments on that.
But for myself - I am not using the laptop nor Ubuntu anymore, so I cannot confirm anything about it. But if you check the comments then it is quite obvious that the problem is still there and there is a small program that you can use for a workaround.

Basically the state what was at the time of boot stays active all the time - regardless of the ac-adapter state. Here is output from "acpitool -a -b" in various situations: When booted with charger connected and charger is still connected: Battery #1 : charging, 47.00%, 01:00:43 AC adapter : on-line When booted with charger connected and charger is now disconnected: Battery #1 : charging, 47.00%, 01:36:59 AC adapter : off-line [The battery couldn't possibly be charging when the AC adapter is offline!] When booted with charger disconnected and charger is still disconnected: Battery #1 : discharging, 47.00%, 01:39:44 AC adapter : off-line When booted with charger disconnected and charger is now connected: Battery #1 : discharging, 47.00%, 00:53:43 AC adapter : on-line [The battery is actually charging as the AC adapter is online] The percentage and time are correctly updated when the battery is actually charging or discharging - regardless of the reported state. So the state is the only thing that is incorrect. However a number of applications make their decisions based on this state (battery monitor, jupiter, etc.) and therefore behave incorrectly. "lshal -m" doesn't report anything when I plug the charger in or out.
