Bug Description
Binary package hint: hal
the issue is observed in Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron) with up to date packages.
Gnome-Power-Manager does not update the battery reading of the laptop.
I believe something messed up HAL because of the following:
When I check the battery manually (acpi -b), lshal -m produces
10:56:42.004: computer_
10:56:42.009: computer_
10:56:42.013: computer_
10:56:42.016: computer_
10:56:42.020: computer_
10:56:42.022: computer_
10:56:42.023: computer_
10:56:42.025: computer_
and gpm updates the battery reading.
On Feisty (gpm working) I observed, that lshal -m produces every minute this output:
acpi_BAT0 property battery.
acpi_BAT0 property battery.
acpi_BAT0 property battery.
acpi_BAT0 property battery.
acpi_BAT0 property battery.
which is missing in 8.04.
So g-p-m is not updated regularily on the battery status.
