Public bug reported: Binary package hint: acpi
Hello fellow bug detectives, After upgrading to Intrepid from Hardy *and* a clean install on a different machine, the `acpi -V` command, which generally shows me the correct amount of remaining battery time on both machines, does not - instead, it appears to be quite incorrect. I have run the command repeatedly on both machines, which each get well over 6 hours of battery life. Gnome Power Manager, by contrast, reports the remaining time perfectly on both machines. This results in inconvenience for end users of the `acpi` utility, as well as initiating a suspend as soon as I unplug the machine from AC, presumably because all of a sudden ACPI thinks the machine only has 3 minutes of battery left. Old output: $ acpi -V | grep Discharging Battery 1: Discharging, 97%, 06:20:00 remaining After the upgrade to Intrepid: $ acpi -V | grep Discharging Battery 0: Discharging, 97%, 00:03:43 remaining ..... [repeat cmd a few times] ..... Battery 0: Discharging, 97%, 00:06:03 remaining What is curious is that if I run the command a few more times, I get values that would be roughly correct for the machine - if only the numbers were shifted left one position. Example: I get 00:06:03, but 06:03:00 would be the correct value. ===== $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.10 Release: 8.10 $ apt-cache policy acpi acpi: Installed: 1.1-1ubuntu1 Candidate:
