papukaija: No, different bug. That bug is fixed in Unity. Menus in Unity have the ability to dynamically update, which is a significant improvement over the old static menus. I can confirm that I only see 'Laptop battery (estimating...)' for 1 or 2 seconds after the power cable is unplugged. I would like charge percentage brought back in addition to estimated time. It would also be nice to have an option to show power there, so I can conserve more battery charge. -- 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/539912 Title: current battery charge not easily accessible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/539912/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 539912] Re: current battery charge not easily accessible
As was brought up in bug #629258, this is a huge issue if the time remaining is still being estimated or is completely unknown (which seems to occur very, very frequently on devices we should be supporting well: netbooks). Without showing the percentage, the indicator simply says “estimating” in that case, which is useless. -- current battery charge not easily accessible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539912 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 539912] Re: current battery charge not easily accessible
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but I'll give it a shot. My original 6-cells battery died and I bought a 12-cells brand new to replace it. Works smoothly and perfect with Ubuntu Lucid. But I can't see exactly how much time has for Lifetime and Charge time. I've been searching ways to fix it but nothing works. I think solution should be restart the profile but how do I do that? thanks -- current battery charge not easily accessible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539912 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 539912] Re: current battery charge not easily accessible
I solved the issue by building a costumized version of the source package. In the relevant code parts, there are switches like #ifdef HAVE_APP_INDICATOR. The tooltip is disabled if this macro is set and the percentage values are not shown. This was introduced by a patch that adds support for application indicators (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/497870). AFAIK this should be a replacement for the notification area applet. But it seems we don't have it in lucid. gpm uses an ordinary tray icon. I'm not sure how to submit my patch cleanly. So I'll try it like this. Apply it to the source package. The first disalbes application indicators in debian/rules. The second compacts the display of time from %i hours %i minutes to just hh:mm. ** Patch added: "disalbes application indicators and brings back tooltips and percentage" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48679455/disalbe_appindicators.patch -- current battery charge not easily accessible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539912 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
