[hardy] guidance-powermanager does not display right information on battery discharging or charging

[deepdraft]

Binary package hint: kde-guidance-powermanager

I am running latest Kubuntu Hardy alpha on Dell Latitude D510 and when the battery is discharging the kde-guidance-powermanager does not display the right information.
It always shows the the battery level is 100%, if the battery was fully charged or is stuck at different value, if not fully charged. It always says "Discharging" and the time always 0:00h.
The level when discharging not on full battery is higher the the level it was showing a second ago, while charging.

It also shows time "0:00h to charge" when charging, but the battery level is changing.

Could you provide the contents of "/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state" while charging, charged, and discharging?

I all three cases I got:
present: no

[nosrednaekim (nosrednaekim)]

in that case, I'm changing this to a bug in ACPI.

This is almost certainly a kernel bug.

Under the latest development version of Kubuntu 8.04 I can report that I did not manage to reproduce the bug, hence assuming it got fixed.
