I have the same problem under ubuntu 10.10 When unplugging the cable, and a fully charged battery, the indicator shows a sign that indicates about 10% left.
Freshly installed, new laptop (one week old). The information was correct the few first days. cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state & info indicate proper information -- Power indicator applet displays wrong information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/567336 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
