Yes, telling the battery to not charge even though it's plugged in is what's confusing indicator-power -- upower is reporting that the battery is charging, but understandably isn't providing a time-remaining estimate. In these situations, the indicator shows 'estimating' because it doesn't have enough information from upower to guess at a time.
One possibility is that we could push this upstream to upower, saying that the `charging' state is inaccurate here because the battery isn't charging. At the indicator-power level, we could also look at the wattage being consumed. Your upower dump does list the `charging' state, but that only 0.0033 W are being used. I'm a little uncomfortable with adding heuristics to second-guess what upower is reporting, but it's a thought. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1231550 Title: battery status indicator shows 'estimating' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-power/+bug/1231550/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
