Constantly, but randomly, power-manager warns me that my battery is critically low and will be hibernating unless power is plugged in. During this I know the battery is 100% because when I click `OK` the battery applet then shows the correct information

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

Seems to be more frequent when I am plugging in or unplugging the A/C adapter. The battery applet displays a dead battery icon, then power-manager window message notifies me that battery is critically low! without plugging in power computer will hibernate. However this is a false message, the hardware light is blue ( signaling a fully charged battery, and as soon as the message is closed, the battery applet returns to the correct status). I have done my own research on google to no availability. Most of the "fixes" were to make a script that would run cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state and that would give power-manager the correct info, however that is not the case. I wrote the script and added it is a cron job / startup program, still occurs.

If further information is needed please let me know as I will gladly supply it. Im not sure if it affects all 532h or not but it it does, if this is resolved that would be amazing.

Now that the machine is running 10.10 on a generic kernel -- knock on wood -- this error has not showed its face yet. I will keep this bug posted.

[Mark McClary (markmcclary)]

Negative on that captain. It still fails... Hope a fix is released.

[Alan Pater (alan-pater)]

Is this still an issue with the current version of Ubuntu?
