Reports battery is fully charged when it is discharging

[Leonid B.]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

1) Using Ubuntu 10.04
2) gnome-power-manager 2.30.0-0ubuntu1
3) Expected: When battery is discharging, it should sense it, and apply the power preferences as "on battery power".
4) What happens: Reports the battery discharge percentage correctly, but writes status as "fully charged" and never enters the "on battery power" regime - won't dim the screen, won't hibernate on low ~2% power, ect... Additionally, the indicator applet showing that the battery is full.
When CHARGING - all the reports and the functionality is correct.

See attached pictures.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of GNOME Power Manager is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back? Thanks in advance.

Hello Pedro,

I'm using Maverick now, and the problem is EXACTLY THE SAME as described in the original report and in the attached screenshots.

Thanks,
Leonid.
