Thanks for your report and helping make Ubuntu better. I'm closing this bug in reference to the GPM FAQ (http://live.gnome.org/GnomePowerManager/FAQ).
My time to discharge is always incorrect due to a faulty battery, what can I do? You might be able to use the percentage charge for g-p-m to use as the policy data. Open gconf-editor, and then change the key /apps/gnome- power-manager/use_time_for_policy to false. You can do this easily by doing: gconftool-2 --set --type bool /apps/gnome-power- manager/use_time_for_policy false This should get the policy actions working for you, but of course the time remaining will still be incorrect. ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- gnome-power-manager reports battery alive when it appears to be dead https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351437 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
