What any particular menu says has nothing at all to do with indicator-
applet.
** Package changed: indicator-applet (Ubuntu) => gnome-power-manager
(Ubuntu)
** Changed in: indicator-applet
Status: Confirmed => Invalid
** Summary changed:
- indicator applet 0.4.6: "Laptop battery (estimating...)" for days on end when
discharge/charge time not known
+ "Laptop battery (estimating...)" for days on end when discharge/charge time
not known
** Description changed:
- The drop-down menu for the indicator-applet battery icon menu says
+ The drop-down menu for the gnome-power-manager battery status menu says
"Laptop battery (estimating...)"
At a minimum this be fixed to read "Laptop batter (estimating time...)"
or "Laptop battery (estimating battery life...)".
Ideally if the remaining battery *time* is not known (because less than
sufficient datapoints have been collected to enable estimation) then the
percentage should be displayed in-lieu. The percentage is already
available and is used to drive the indicator-applet icon itself.
The current implementation is specified by:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BatteryStatusMenu#Items
but because the "estimating..." text can exist for days-on-end (nearly a
week in the case of this computer) it probably needs a slight tweak or
design addition to take account of the time estimation not being
available for long periods of time.
See bug #629258 for previous (lukewarm) discussions on the lower-stack
issues. This two bugs might want re-splitting/sorting again based on
those that relate to the chrono estimate not being known, and those that
relate to the pointless display of that unknown data for long periods of
time.
** Summary changed:
- "Laptop battery (estimating...)" for days on end when discharge/charge time
not known
+ "Laptop battery (estimating...)" -estimating what?
