Try adding the Battery Charge Monitor applet to your Gnome panel and compare it's state with the Power Manager applet. Also look in /proc/acpi/battery/battery ID and cat info and cat state to see what ACPI is reporting when the problem occurs. -- Power-manager reports incorrect battery percentage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206889 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
[Bug 206889] Re: Power-manager reports incorrect battery percentage
nothing is in either file. it is a totally blank file. /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info and /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state have nothing in them. alarm is there as well, but is blank too. the Batery Charge monitor reports the same phenomenon and i dont know what ACPI is. -- Power-manager reports incorrect battery percentage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206889 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

Compare the contents of info and state when it's working to when it's not. Your issue seems different from my Power Manager problem which often disagrees with the Battery Charge Monitor. Coincidently I'm also using a Toshiba Satellite latop, a M35X-S114. The /proc directory is virtual in that it does not really contain files, just system information.

[Bug 206889] Re: Power-manager reports incorrect battery percentage
when i pulled the battery and placed it back in, it didnt immediately reckognise that the battery was there, which saddened me. I had to pull the plug first so that it would see that there is another source than the plug. Througout this time i was watching the files. no changes appeared. All of the files stayed empty. -- Power-manager reports incorrect battery percentage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206889 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

** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager When plugged into a charger and fully charged, the power manager correctly displays 100% filled battery. However, after unplugging my Toshiba Satellite, it very quickly drops to 42% and displays 1 hour and 10 minutes discharge time (which in-fact is correct, I timed it). I really have no idea what has caused this. It is possible that this only happens on my Laptop, I am a pretty big noob to Ubuntu. + + EDIT: I just noticed that as it is charging back up, it gets to 41% and + then stops. it doesnt advance any farther, but it says that i still have + 1 hour and 55 minutes left till it is fully charged. result of 'lsb_release -rd': Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch) Release: 8.04 fresh install (like an hour ago...) result of 'apt-cache policy gnome-power-manager': gnome-power-manager: Installed: 2.22.0-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 2.22.0-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 2.22.0-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://mx.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I also wonder if there is another package that could replace the gnome power manager as my default power manager.
