[Bug 405148] Re: Laptop battery indicator indicates 0% charge when fully charged
Are there any updates on this? I'm having this problem with 10.04. It usually happens after I come back from standby. I didn't care about it too much before. However, this problem is causing gkrellm to refuse to boot up because of a divide by 0 error. (battery status in gkrellm has BatteryCharge as the denominator, which is set to 0% even though I am fully charged). -- Laptop battery indicator indicates 0% charge when fully charged https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/405148 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For the lurkers or anyone else having this problem with a 2nd gen macbook, do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US (Reset the SMC on the laptop).

[Bug 405148] Re: Laptop battery indicator indicates 0% charge when fully charged
I'm having a similar issue. Only, it isn't 0%. The amount changes. Lowest it has been was 62.3%. I thought this was odd, so decided to test my battery using the built-in indicator that is on the battery (Dell Inspiron 1720). The external test determined that my battery was at 100%. Now, here is the odd part. Once I pressed that button on the battery to see if the battery agreed with the battery indicator in Gnome, the Gnome indicator changed to 100%. I was plugged into the wall when this happened, so I'm not sure if it was an incredible fluke or if pressing the button caused the battery to pass info onto the kernel (or where ever the Gnome battery indicator gets its info from) that updated the indicator. Sorry for the double posting for the apport-collect info, I wasn't sure if I needed to run the utility as my user account or root, so I did both. The root account is the second one (comments #33 and 34). -- Laptop battery indicator indicates 0% charge when fully charged https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/405148 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 405148] Re: Laptop battery indicator indicates 0% charge when fully charged
Can you please do the following: Start with the battery fully charged, so that dk-p does not see it. Now do sudo killall devkit-power-daemon sudo /usr/lib/devicekit-power/devkit-power-daemon --verbose 21 | tee /tmp/dkp.log in a Terminal. Wait some seconds, press control-c, and attach /tmp/dkp.log here. Now let the battery discharge for a while (the situation where dk-p does see the correct charge), and to the same set of commands again. With those I get some more detailled information and can also compare the output when it does and when it doesn't see the battery charge.

I'm attaching the requested files below. I've noticed a strange development since my confirmation of this bug. After several hours with 0,0% charge displayed (even though the battery has been fully charged at all time), the charge display suddenly started rising. I'm attaching a gnome-power-manager graph showing this. The first blue line is the ~4 hours of 0,0%. The sudden red increase tops around ~60% (not shown in screenshot), and would probably have continued. The second blue line is me doing the test you requested. Note the rapid discharge though, even though I only disconnected the AC supply for a few minutes.

Martin, The answer to your first question is no. The problem only occurs some of the time. When it does occur, it is not the case that the numbers go to 0 once it is fully charged. The numbers all went to 0 when it was partially charged.

Okay, I spoke too soon. The problem is back. I don't know what I did that made it work briefly, or what I did to make it broken again. I have experimented by letting my battery discharge and recharge, putting the AC power in and out and so on to see if I can find what fixed it temporarily, but I can't reproduce the fixed state.
